(Hm, anywhere is fine really? She’d likely be out just on a walk, or a run for exercise. And be rounding around the library out of curiosity, and fear, pfft-) (Maybe they can meet up while Jack’s walking towards town?) |

Figuring he wasn’t going to get an answer from Delvin for a while, Jack put on a fresh set of clothes. A dark gray t-shirt and baggy black jeans. Something easy and comfortable. The bandages were just barely visible beneath his shirt, but again, he had a reasonable excuse for a while still.
After checking his phone one more time for a reply, Jack shoved it into his pocket and headed out of the house. Town wasn’t that much of a walk from the pack houses, and he really didn’t feel like bugging Roger or Darcy for either a ride or a set of key. A walk will help ease his worries a bit and maybe help with his leg.
He limped his way down the long driveway leading away from the pack houses and followed the road towns town. He hurried down the driveway a little faster than he should have, or than his leg could handle. Even now, almost two weeks out of the hospital and in broad daylight, he still felt uncomfortable walking alone in the forest now that he was in a right state of mind. No way in hell would a werewolf go after him now that he’s tainted at least.
Halfway towards Griffindale, he had to stop. His leg was burning from all the walking he had done and he sat down the side of the road, just for a break. God he hated being like this… Two weeks ago this wouldn’t have been a problem… With a huff, he hauled himself back up, brushed off any leaves that might have stuck to him, and carried on.

(I can throw Zane at her. Haven't been able to use him yet)
Zane slowly makes his way into the store. He had been into this store a few times and every time he felt uneasy. However, he would always come back because the clothes were comfy and the owner was nice to look at. He ended up messing up his favorite pair of pants and needed some more along with maybe another shirt.

. ‘ <| Adeline Nicholson |> ‘ . Adeline decides to take a walk. The morning air felt stale, even as she threw on her tank top, and quarter zip sweater. Her window was left open all night, the air was just stuffy. It made it feel like she could barely even breathe. Stepping carefully into her tennis shoes, she doesn’t waste any longer, barely refraining from jogging to her destination. Her finger pushes against the large silver button, calling the elevator to her floor, and stepping inside. The air went from stale to dead the moment she stepped in, Adeline’s heart stuttering as the door inched closed. Adeline breathed in a shallow, shaky breath, her eyes flicking around the metal box she’s currently trusting her life with. Rubbing her arms nervously, she chokes on her own breath as the door opens, legs carrying Adeline even as her mind feels rooted to it’s spot. Shaking her head quickly, and pulling herself away, Adeline tucks her hands into her sweater pockets, and feels like she can finally breathe as she steps onto the grass of the front yard of her apartment building. Looking around, Adeline decides to take a left. Maybe the forest will make her feel better. And when she gets back later she’s going to.. check the library. She’s equal amounts curious, terrified, and weird feeling. Like.. that feeling when you feel like you’re being watched? Sniffling, Adeline quirks a brow as she looks around the upcoming forest. That… didn’t take long. Hmh. Maybe the fates are trying to tell her to learn how to keep her plants alive. |

(Hey everyone! I have not been feeling in best shape for the past week and haven’t have much motivation to write. Long story short, allergies and schoolwork have not been treating me kindly. But I will have something written up within a day or two. For real this time. bloodrosepelt I want to thank you for your patience! In a couple of messages we can wrap up with Javalle and Maria being cooped up indoors and start heading towards the pack. Sorry I’ve been keeping her for so long- Also, soot, Juno, I’ll tag you both once I’m ready to start at the library. I just wanted to give a brief update since I kind of disappeared for a second here. Woops!) |

However, he would always come back because the clothes were comfy and the owner was nice to look at. He ended up messing up his favorite pair of pants and needed some more along with maybe another shirt. Shiruku was about to head out of the back door of her store to grab herself a coffee but stopped when she heard the sound a the bell above the main entrance ring. Huh she thought that was locked? But then again, she did often forget to do that due to seeing a lack of a need to. If anyone wanted to break in then she knew how to deal with them. Putting on a smile she walked to the main room she smiled as she saw Zane. He had come in a couple time and had made an impression in her mind. She especially liked men, they were especially fun to play with. “Hello sir, what brings you to my humble shop today,” she said in her usual sales rep voice. |

Zane turned his body to look at her. "Oh hello there! I'm just here looking for some pants." He answered placing his hands into his pockets. "Do you happen to have a pair of dark gray slacks in stock? Also might be eyeing a few of your shirts."

A string of muffle curse words escaped his mouth as Jack misstepped with his bad leg, sending a shock wave of pain all up his left side. He grumbled to himself as he once again lowered himself to the ground. It probably wouldn’t have hurt so much if it was still so sore from presumably running around the forest last night terrorizing the towns folk. He was probably a sad sight should someone drive by. Looking all pale and like he hadn’t slept in three days. What a mess. A distance sound from deeper in the woods behind him turned his attention away from his sulking. He’s strengthened senses we’re still adjusting and developing, but it sounded heavier than the squirrels and rabbits that he had gotten used to hearing outside the house at all hours. Jack struggled to stand back up, unsure if it was just a hiker or god-forbid another werewolf. |

His senses flared up trying to determine if they were a threat or not, only to visibly relax when a familiar scent washed over him and he saw it was Adeline. Oh thank god she wasn’t hurt. Even if the wolf was in town or not, he would never forgive himself if she had been attacked. He couldn’t tell if she had spotted him yet, so he tried to look as casual as possible. Well… as casual as he could with him looking all disheveled and tired. Wandering the road towards Griffindale… Alone… Yeah, not a good look. (Jack’s greatest enemy is himself sometimes.) |

,’ = Adeline Nicholson = ‘, Adeline’s eyes widened just slightly when she took in the recently familiarized figure. Disheveled, and probably in pain if the lack of any sort of on wheel.. thing of any type around. Blinking slowly like a doe seeing a human for the first time, she raises a hand in a little finger wiggling wave. ”Jack-? Hi!” Adeline pauses abruptly at her louder than meant to tone, looking mildly embarrass with an awkward smile on her face, mixed with tinges of anxiety. He doesn’t look like he’s doing too good. ”Ah.. what’re you doing out here? Do you need a hand..?” She asks, blinking away the odd edges that make it seem like there’s something unnatural thrumming under his skin. Just craving to be free, and run and hunt and gaze at it’s beloved moon. Do not trust facades or smiles and polite greetings. Shifters are always tricky, quick to anger things. Though not inherently unkind.
Adeline almost freezes in her delicately footed approach to Jack, the quietest of whispers in the back of her head. |

Jack raised his hand in greeting as he watched her approach. He took this moment to scan her over. No bandages, that’s good. A little rumbled, but she probably tripped on something if she came from the woods. It didn’t hurt her. It left her alone.
He could see the flash of confusion in her eyes, probably wondering what he was doing out here alone, naturally. He didn’t blame her at all.
He was just about to answer her, explain that he’s fine and that he just gave himself a quick rest- not mention that he almost made his bad leg worse thanks to misstepping, he still wanted to keep his dignity, thank you- when she froze suddenly.
“Adeline?” Jack called, approaching her carefully, “You okay? What’s wrong?”
He took a quick glance over his shoulder. Was there something behind him that had frightened her? No. Nothing they were alone. Not even a passing car. He turned his pale blue eyes back to her, filled with concern.

, -~ Adeline Nicholson~- , Adeline held his gaze for a moment as it looked over her, her lightly colored brow quirking at the look. She doesn’t look odd, does she? Adeline shifts her gaze down to herself, pulling her zipper up a bit higher on her blue half zip sweater. She always liked how the collar blocked the wind from her neck. Adeline gets cold easy. The blonde had waited neatly for an answer to her question before she’d heard.. the quiet whisper, well, more like when someone is talking, but it’s far enough away that it’s as faint as a whisper. Don’t act too out of place, young one. You wouldn’t like them to think you odd would you? Even if, frankly, you are odd.She snaps out of it, blinking and breaking out into a small, slight smile again. “Oh- sorry? Hum. I just.. thought I heard something… weird? I started walking to the woods, but then forgot about well, you know, the animal attacks, and I saw a wolf last night, well a wolf-dog mix” She sucks in a breathe “-and now I’m a bit scared I’ve walked into the woods where I might get mauled by an animal, and frankly I don’t think I could outrun a wolf-“ Adeline pauses when she realizes she’s frantically rambling, closing her mouth with a quiet ‘clack’. “Uh.. yes, I’m fine.” She adds, shrugging a tinge awkwardly as she looks up. Her expression is a mix between relief, anxiety, and a facade of ‘this is fine’. And wow, she only now realizes how tall Jack is, why did her genetics curse her to be so short? Her expression is more of a defeated, worried wince. There’s a voice in her head. That.. is worrying to the maximum area of 100% worry, she’s more worried about a voice in her head than slipping from the peak of Mt. Everest. Sanity is ah- nice to have. (Adeline is in a similar boat right now xD also ✨witchy ✨ stuff is happening in full force now. She’s currently that meme with the dog, and the house on fire, ‘This is fine-‘ and she is, frankly, not fine!) |

Jack flinched, eyes going wide. Cold, icy and horrible, ran through his veins.
“A wolf? What happened? Did it get you? Did it hurt you?”
He took a few steps back, words pouring out of him in a rapid fire, unable to stop his questions or his mind racing. Eyes darting over her, mind not registering that the woman before him was perfectly fine.
Oh god. Oh god oh god oh god oh god- What if it was me?!
(Ooh I like how she hears voices. Can’t wait to see how this develops!)

, -~ Adeline Nicholson~- , Adeline had fully halted in her nervous rambling when Jack started to take a few careful steps back. Her brows furrowed in confusion and worry at the reaction. Before… plainly realizing why he’s had such a fearful reaction. being mauled by a wolf likely makes someone a bit more worried when someone else could have potentially been in the same situation. Keeping her breath steady (even with the absolute cold, blood stopping fear of a voice in her head.) she gives Jack a soft, worried look. ”I’m fine, I was more worried about the wolf.” Adeline quickly reassures, “The wolf was actually pretty… ah, calm-ish? They had these gashes.. so I, uh, just put a bit of medicine on it, and some bandages.” She explains, carful of her words. She doesn’t want to cause the guy any more fear or worry than is needed, in any way shape or form. (I’m very excited for what I have planned ^^) |

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!  ) Maria blushed a little bit at the idea of going into Javalle’s room to look for a belt. Going into the a boys room, alone! Why that was almost too much for the young girl to take. Just think about all the personal things she could find. No, she was no snoop! Besides that would be rude, he was offering her cloths and food. Sitting down in a near by chair she said, “I-I think I will wait. I would hate to invade your personal space.” Looking at the pancakes she gave a small smile she said, “ Thank you for making breakfast by the way, you really didn’t need to go through all this trouble just for my sake. You have already done so much for me and I would hate to burden you anymore than I already have.” |

Zane turned his body to look at her. "Oh hello there! I'm just here looking for some pants." He answered placing his hands into his pockets. "Do you happen to have a pair of dark gray slacks in stock? Also might be eyeing a few of your shirts." Shiruku smiled as she placed together. “Why yes, I should have a few pairs of dark grey slacks,” she said in sickly sweet tone. She walked over to a near by racks of men’s slacks and sifted through them. As she did so she asked, “Tell me sir, have you not come to my shop before? If you had then maybe I could offer you better aid.” |

Jack slowly nodded at her words. It finally registered that she was okay and he the wolf hadn’t hurt her.
“Yeah… Poor thing…” he murmured, his hand absentmindedly feeling the bandages underneath his shirt. Give it bandages… So it was her…
He cleared his voice before continuing, ducking his eyes away for a second, ”I… Uh… I’ll admit that I’m impressed that you managed to help it out without it attacking you. Surprised it didn’t…”
