++ Zhenya Metaxas-- He gives her an approving nod when she moves to shut off her laptop. "Doesn't matter~" He responds cheekily, and noting the age of the aforementioned item, "I might as well get you a new one while I'm at it." Zhenya steps back once he determines that Nola can stand without assistance, nose wrinkling playfully at her amused huff. "All of my ideas are great, I'll have you know. Teo hush."
The last words are added reflexively, as he anticipates his twin muttering something to the contrary in the background. Teo senses them preparing to leave and unfolds himself with a hiss of pain but shakes it off by the time he's risen to his full height. He still holds the empty paper plate, the pale fingers of his free hand lightly brushing Zhenya's shoulder. "Don't forget your...secret ointment." He intones softly.
Anya grins at her words, "Ha! You can count on a pair of cats to get our full eighteen hours." He places a hand on his hip and gives her an accusing wag of his finger. "You're the one who needs to hear that." Her next question has him humming thoughtfully as he carefully maneuvers his twin around a wastebin he'd almost walked into. "Ah, we don't. If we did I'd have tied one to a stick to lead you out of here ages ago. I'll make sure they restock while you're gone~" He punctuates this with a mock salute. Anya then scoops up her little medicine container and tucks it into her arm so that she doesn't notice he'd folded a few bills underneath it- to pay for his meal earlier in the week- and waves her toward the door. "Ladies first~" And upon noticing the way she moves, "Don't forget to call the Medicine Maven either."
<><><>
++ Dalian E. Siu-Stapp -- Dalian's eyes crinkle as his lips curve upwards, satisfied with a job well-done and instinctively brought on by the woman's own smile of gratitude. "Twas no trouble, miss." She speaks again as he loads up his tools and he turns from his truck to put on a show of considering her offer. "Naw, yer pretty smile is enough of a favor for me." He responds with a lazy wave of his hand as he opens his faded red door. "Best be on my way now. Nice meetin' you."

. ‘ * Nola Levington * ‘ .
— Nola quirks a brow, making a mildly offended mock look on behalf of her laptop, “Don’t talk about a laptops age while your hair looks like that.” She teases quietly, eyes glancing to his mused hair, voice the tiniest bit sing song at the last word. Nola carefully shifts her injuries shoulder, glancing over to the waking Teo. “That might be a bit of a stretch.” She says with an amused smile, not hiding it for a second, a puff of air leaving her nose as she gives him a look. I mean, toast in a microwave..?Nola perks up at Teo’s reminder, before she’s a tinge distracted by Anya. “Oh I know.” Nola says, before lifting a brow at his finger waggle. Really? She also promptly ignores her eyes following the movement a bit too focused in the.. tiredly focused way before glancing up, a tad eager at the remembrance of cookies.. and is more disappointed than any adult should ever be at said lack of cookies. The ballerina gives him a plain look at his salute, having to resist putting her hand on her hip. “You do that..” She replies, giving a mock roll of her eyes that’s made to be obviously playful. She does give a grateful look though, not one to not thank in some form. She pauses before shuffling her feet to glance over, giving an unconscious nod towards Teo, before internally sighing and muttering a quiet ‘ Thank you’. Nola’s boots scuff the ground lightly as she walks, though she does try somewhat to keep them from literally dragging. She just gives a small smile, and a nod. “I’ll contact Dr. Pepper soon. He mentioned meeting with me again for another look at it, just incase.” The shifter reassures idly, adjusting her hold on the items in her arms. (not to mention a clumsily clipped on thermos to her belt that she needs to make sure to return later..)
. ‘ + Callisto Ayutthaya + ‘ .
— The Jaguar-Shifter’s smile is light but genuine, green eyes the tiniest bit surprised at the quick denial. Callisto’s seen plenty of kindness and chivalry, but she’s still slightly surprised the times it happens. She supposes the (✨) southern hospitality (✨) is to thank. And the man himself, of course. The woman watches carefully as he goes about returning his tools to his car, and turning moments later to her… and Callisto was not excepting that kind of compliment, but she supposes she’ll take it. And if her smile upticks the tiniest bit more at the compliment (more like quite a bit), no one but the witness will ever know. Or the faintly surprised tinge of pink flush. “It.. was nice meeting you as well. Have a pleasant day, Mr. Siu-Stapp.” Callisto says, giving a small wave of her own. She mentally counts how much this stop will delay any plans, besides being late to get coffee which will probably make the line longer.. especially since she needs to get home and put her groceries away. What does she need to do later..? With a quick sniffle, Callisto turns towards her now in working order car, shoes shuffling as she makes her way over to the door and popping it open. Callisto gives one more little wave to the cowboy, (Dalian Siu-Stapp, Callisto reminds herself. She always repeats the name in her head a few times to remember it..) as she pulls her door closed. Well, so far she’s not has many unpleasant experiences in town.. which, to be frank, is quite nice.
Oh- she needs to mosey (mosey? Where’d that come from?) on home, or the food’l go bad. And… than get coffee, than prep most of her meals for the next week in advance. That handy dandy vegetable (and others) cutter is probably on of the most muse full things since sliced vegetables themselves. She’ll pretend that makes more sense that it probably does.. and maybe she’ll learn to make mochi properly today.
(Oof, you’re all good! Ironically me watching lotr again (again and again-) has made my muse come back in full force ^^’ I hope the rest of your vacation is good though! Anxiousness is not something I’m a fan of-) |

Maria took a nice long shower, just letting the water wash all her pain and sorrow from the night off of her. Ah this is exactly what she needed. No fur to get tangled easily. Two feet keeping her upright. Yup this was so much better than being in the a wolf to her. However, her bliss would not last. She needed to get out of the shower soon or she will turn all pruney and stuff. Her looks were never high on her priority list, but she at least wanted to make sure she could at least make a good first impression as a human. Pretend the original one never happened. Slowly she turned off the water and exited the shower. She started to shiver from the water on her skin cooling rapidly. Looking around for a second she looked for a towel. Once she found one she quickly dried herself off and wrapped it around her body. Okay she was now dry, onto the next step. With a slight groan she looked at the bathroom door and blushed. What kinda cloths could a fully grown man have that would fit her, she was a teenage girl. Anything he has would probably swallow her up like a black hole. Well best see what she had to work with. Opening the door she noticed the pile of cloths set in front of the door. Picking up her wardrobe she quickly brought them inside. Looking at the cloths Maria thought the shirt would be fine, but the jeans might need something else. Maybe Javalle has a belt she could borrow to keep them from falling off. Whelp deal with that later, it’s getting cold in this bathroom right now. Once dressed she stepped out of the bathroom and looked around wondering where to go now, but that was quickly answered when she heard noise coming from down the hall. Following the wound she walked into the kitchen, all the while using one hand to keep the pants up, and said, “U-um hello, you in here Javalle?” Javalle was too zoned in to cooking to pay much attention to his surroundings. Normally he only had time to microwave a quick meal before heading out to work, but with someone else over, he felt obligated to whip up something decent for company's sake. Or to prove himself that he was a functioning adult with no reliance on fast food, one of the two. He cycled through whisking eggs and milk into a creamy batter and pouring it into the pan. The first couple of batches had some mildly burnt edges as the shifter flipped them over. Better that than undercooked, they thought with a sigh as he took responsibility that he would eat accidental flapjacks. Javalle was just about ready to turn over the last pancake, thinking about what beverages and sides he had in the to offer his guest, when the opening of the bathroom door made him flinch. What happened to that super-sonic hearing of yours? Javalle scowled that a sound as mild as a door opening would catch him off-guard. Without glancing up, his ears picked up the voice of Maria in her usual anxious tone. The noise was a bit drowned out from both the pancakes sizzling and the shift, but the were-lynx understood enough to form an answer.
"Yep. I'm cooking breakfast." -He paused briefly to slide the steaming hotcakes onto a plate- "Did you need anything, Maria?"(Cooking sesison with Javalle oh yeah~) Maria watched as Javalle moved pancakes to the plate licked her lip. Real food, like honest to goodness food! Oh she never thought pancakes could look so good. Maybe eating that squirrel last night made her long for normal people food, but who the heck cares really. She then shook herself out of her hunger induced haze when he host asked her if she needed something. Oh right the belt, she nearly forgot about that. With slightly pink cheeks she asked, "W-Well I was wondering, could you possibly have a built I could borrow? N-not to sound ungrateful that you are letting me borrow these cloths, but the pants are a bit to b-big for me. I don't to have them-um-you know when trying to walk."Oh good lord this is so weird to talk about a veritable stranger. But she did need to make sure that her full moon wasn't showing randomly. Man what she wouldn't do for a normal life right about now. |

"Just let me know if you need anything." Roger lingers for a little while before leaving the room. He lets out a sigh happy that Jack was okay. Thinking everything would be okay, he decided to head to his room to rest for a bit.
"A good choice." Delvin answered as he moves his hands to his pockets. Sometimes, he wished he could move into a cabin and ignore his duties. "If you want me or Teagan can show you the cabins or Teagan might in case I get pulled away for something."

Once Roger had left the room, Jack limped over to his bathroom, needed to inspect himself. He stood in front of the mirror and took off his tattered shirt. His torso was wrapped tight in bandages, patches of long dried blood turned what was once cotton white cloth into a deep rusty red. He took a deep breath and began slowly unwrapping himself to see the damage. Jack did not expect to see what he saw in the mirror before him.
His old wounds that gave him this curse were no long visible and fully heal, at least from what he could see on his upper body. There were, however, new scratches and bite marks that had scabbed over, healing. Must be thanks to his super healing. Would have been great to have when he was in the hospital… At least he can pass off these as his old ones if anyone asked questions.
Honestly Jack was impressed that someone had the courage to treat an injured, possibly uncontrollably savaged wolf. That would have been a mess to deal with. That would’ve… Wait…
The wolf had contact with a human.
An ice cold feeling of panic and dread washed over him and he made a dash out of the bathroom. He grabbed his phone that was sitting on his night stand and pulled up Delvin in his contacts, writing up a text.
“Don’t remember last night. Have you heard about anyone in town seeing a wolf at all? I don’t know if it hurt anyone or not.”
He hit send. Jack chose his wording carefully, refusing to think of himself and the wolf as one and the same, especially if it came into contact with a person. The person who had dressed its wounds may have been spared, but that did mean everyone else was… He’ll have to text Adeline later to see if she was okay too.
(Oop may finger slipped and I just kept going.)

The shifter paused from his cooking station, eyes widening as Maria asked for a belt to keep the jeans up. I knew I was forgetting something. Why was she apoligizing? He should be the one saying sorry for being unprepared. For the first time since they met, Javalle tried to place himself into Maria's perspective. Talking to an adult stranger they met in the middle of the night and being invited to their house for the morning. Naturally she would be weirded out holding a conversation with him. A shudder passed through Javalle as he contemplated the numerous theories the other werewolves must be formulating in her absence. The shifter conveniently turned away from Maria towards the refrigerator to hide his own flustered expression. While the fridge door was opened, Javalle picked out a plastic tray filled with an assortment of berries, then placed it on the counter besides the plates. "Hey, uhm, don't worry about it. You can keep the clothes for as long as you need. I've been meaning to... Give them away when I had time for it." That last sentence was partially true, but even when he mustered up enough courage, he felt guilty giving away the bin of clothes that remanded him of home, regardless of the memories they provided. Onto the topic of getting the belt... If only Javalle didn't have his hands full with breakfast. The food was only a few minutes from being ready and he didn't want to start another task before this one was finished. That's how his thought process always is, when he's by himself, and he was too stubborn to change it over a belt. "Well, uh, Maria, I'm a little preocupied. Would you be okay with heading to my room and getting one? I- have a rack with the belts I own. It's hanging up by the closet." The shifter paused to change his tone as he realized Maria might be anxious over the offer- "Only if you're comfortable with it, though." He desperately pleaded he wasn't misdirecting the conversation again. (Finally got this edited after nearly a week. Woohoo!  ) |

Ah Shiruku always loved the day after a full moon, a swath of unprepared shifters who ruined their cloths during the night. New perspective customers ripe for the picking. Slowly she stalked through her boutique until coming to the large bay window at the front of the store that allowed her to see the people passing by on foot or car.
They were all just little bugs for her to play with until she finally ate them whole. Raising her right wrist up, turning it over in the same motion, she looked at the small golden watch on her wrist. It was around mid morning, she still had a couple hours before she needed to open her doors. That was more than enough time for her to pop out and grab herself a coffee, and maybe a nice honey glazed donut if she felt like it.
