Stassi turned to look at Hunter with a smile, slurping up the rest of her bite of spaghetti less than gracefully. "How did I know you would volunteer?" She swore it was like the inner wolf in him never got tired. She could travel rather fast in her kitsune form as well, with her long graceful legs allowing her to take large leaps and bounds. She could bring out the real speed if she let the fire inside consume her, but she wasn't really trying to start a forest fire.
Both Ashton and Stassi turned to Rachel as she entered the room. "Ah, she finally emerges," Ashton announced, finally looking up from his food with his signature lopsided grin. Stassi beamed at the praise. "Thank you~ It's not the best but.. I figured we could probably have a nice last meal before we have to head out." She frowned at the end of her statement. She had grown to think of this place as home, as she was sure the rest of the group had as well. Regardless of that the owners would more than likely be returning soon and the last thing they wanted was unsuspecting humans to stumble upon their ragtag group of hybrids.
The redhead girl startled once again at the sudden arrival of Kitae and Isabeau. Geez, I'm going to die of a heart attack before the Nyctus or the Scientists get to me. Ashton pushed his now empty plate away from him and looked at the new arrivals. "Well, look what the cat dragged in. Or I guess I should say, the cat was dragged in," he joked, poking at Isabeau's nickname for Kitae. "Eat up, this might be our last meal for a while."
[{ Oh, I suppose I should mention that while in shifted form, they communicate with a sort of thought speak, you can use italics or whatever you want to communicate that~ It can be heard when another shifter is in human form but can't be used back as the human has to use speech. If that makes sense. }]

(No problem~! I'm busy too, but I had my reply all typed up so I'll slip it in real quick.)
---
Kitae is already smiling- it's a near permanent fixture on his face- but it becomes a touch warmer when he sees the other shifters gathered at the table. Isabeau had mentioned that it was like a family; he'd been a bit obsessed with the concept when they first explored the house. But perhaps his optimism has been tempered now, after what he'd said earlier. His tumultuous life should have taught him that nothing good ever lasts. Nothing lasts at all...
Beau kicks out a chair for him and Kitae starts making their plates. "I was in danger of being dragged." Kit remarks with a wry smile.
Kitae hates socializing as much as he craves it. He'd rather not be alone with his thoughts, but interacting with even one person could result in overstimulation. Even now his mind feels as if it's overtaken by static with the occasional fractured thought or emotion fighting its way through. Still, perhaps it's best that he concedes now, before their future and his balance is thrown into disarray once again. Isabeau laughs at Ashton's joke and perches on a seat nearby, pushing a lock of hair behind one ear and slipping the daisy in place to keep it from trailing into his food. He doesn't seem to acknowledge the siblings' words, only smiling brighter and talking over them to share minute details about his day.
Ah, he must be in some form of denial. Beau didn't have the luxury of family or a proper past that he'd left behind; this is all he has now and it must hurt him to let it go.
Kitae doesn't know all the details, but it's confirmed that their ebullient healer was taken young.
Constant reminders of their time spent in the idyllic house counting down to zero appears to bother Beau- it isn't obvious, but his tone is a bit louder than usual, as if he's trying to drown out everything but the flowers he'd found that morning.
"It sounds like Isabeau had a...productive day~ How about the rest of you? I hope your patrols were quiet, at least."
(Oh, I thought so! I didn't include it because I wasn't sure. ^^)

"I'm sure we'll reunite with spaghetti one day..." Rae sighed dramatically, but she was already on her third plate. The only thing bigger than her strength was her appetite. It was amazing how she ate so much and still managed to be so slim. Hunter often joked that it was the elephant burning off the extra calories.
Hunter raised his eyebrow in mock innocence. "What can I say? I do my part." His ear twitched as he heard approaching steps and he turned to greet the new arrivals. "Hey guys."
"Mmf." Rae followed up helpfully, too engrossed in her food to look up.
Hunter shook his head as he watched Stassi and Rae eat. Their tableside manners were both less than stellar, and short of quantity, nearly identical. Rae usually ended up emulating Stassi in these things. He supposed that came along with being the only girls in the group.
Finally, he set the empty plate before him, leaning back. "That hit the spot." He murmured. He tipped his head, casting a sidelong glance at Stassi. "Ready to go?" Already, the wolf was calling, ready for another go.

"Things have been quiet," Stassi agreed with Kitae, "But you know how trouble likes to follow us. Let's see how this patrol goes." She proceeded to push away from the table as well, having not even finished her food that she'd spent so long making. Anxiety was making her stomach turn, and while she couldn't put a finger on it, she was itching to get out in the woods and make sure they were safe.
She opened the balcony door and was met by a breeze that blew her hair into her face. She shoved it out of the way, and in a single bound leapt off the balcony, landing on the ground below in her kitsune form. Her kitsune form was larger than a normal red fox, at around five feet tall, with six fluffy tails that burned softly on the ends and small embers that occasionally danced off of her fur. She glanced back up at balcony, awaiting Hunter, or whoever else might join them.
---- Roughly ten miles from where the shapeshifters were enjoying their dinner, scientists from the Weber Institute of Genetics quickly dispatched yet another Nyctus that had attacked them in the woods. They didn't have the powers of the shapeshifters, but they knew enough about the Nyctus to create effective weapons against them.
"Did they really have to send us out during a full moon?" One of them complained, cringing away from the body of the creature. Another scientist known at Vitor Saltzman popped the top off of a vial and poured a droplet of the liquid it contained on the corpse, dissolving it away into nothing. "Be quiet. This is the best lead we've had on them yet, we don't need to waste this opportunity."
The rest of the scientists murmured in agreement and continued to pick through the dense forest, following the weak signal on the tracker that pinpointed the shapeshifters' location. A reckless group they were. Powerful, but there was no way they could defeat the Nyctus without the help of the scientists. In their mind, anyways. "What information we have says they take regular patrols around their current residence. It's possible we could run into them, so be ready for that." Vitor informed the group as they walked.
Tranquilizer guns were passed out among the scientists. "Don't hurt them. We need to return them to the Institute alive and well."

"Stay safe~" The serpent's customary parting words whenever the others go on patrol.
"Yeah, remember I'll be here waiting for you~!" Isabeau adds, dimpling at the kitsune and waving a fork. Like Kit, Beau has a go-to farewell phrase, though his is a touch more insistent.
Naturally, Hunter is returning to patrol as well and Kitae smiles at him as he passes. Kit is perfectly happy to stay inside. He might as well take care of cleaning the kitchen and dishes. Perhaps he'll extend into cleaning up the entire house, beginning the task of erasing their presence as much as possible. He doesn't want to inconvenience the family that owns the house, and cleaning has the added benefit of being both productive and repetitive enough to mimic meditation. Action determined, Kitae rises and stacks Stassi & Hunter's plates atop his own. "Don't worry about the kitchen, I'll take care of it~"
Isabeau freezes with his empty plate, a faint moue to his lips and Kit takes pity on him. "I appreciate the thought but I don't need help~ I like to keep busy. Aren't you missing your show?"
Dark eyes shimmer in a beam of moonlight as the shorter man flits past the open balcony doors. "Oh, you're right~!" He collects the remaining dirty dishes and carefully deposits them in the sink regardless. "I'm learning about Florence Nightingale. I wish my last name was Nightingale! Oh, but then it might be too long..."
The television is a luxury Isabeau had never before experienced and he's glued to the screen when he isn't prancing about outside. Beau tends to return when Kitae is leaving to guard the property- the Caladrius has an aversion to the dark and loneliness of the forest at night so he falls asleep in front of the television instead. Kit waits until he leaves the room with a whisper of petals before directing his attention toward Ashton.
It isn't apparent, as he's turned to fill the sink but his head is tilted thoughtfully. "Do you have any plans yet?"

Opening doors was never something Hunter really did anymore. It made no sense to spend the extra effort when he could just jump through to the other side. Hunter's ability was less teleportation and more premediated instant transportation. His breaches provided a instantaneous, but slightly predictive, entry and exit point, and it was simply easier to do so. Nevertheless, he opened a breach and passed through, appearing beside Stassi in wolf form. Let's get going. The sooner we make sure we're okay to leave, the better. He always did feel like they were safer on the road, and he didn't like staying in one place too long. He waved his tail in farewell to the others, loping into the forest.
