, -~ Adeline Nicholson~- , Adeline visibly calmed down, even if just slightly. “Yeah- big guy was in rough shape. I’m mildly more worried about what attacked them, being honest.” She mumbled, brows furrowed a she hears the flap of wings, and black, beady eyes staring at them from above. A crow? Weird. Adeline quirked a slight brow at his downcast gaze. “Ah.. well, it did try to… stalk me or whatever wolves do, at first. It calmed down pretty quick actually. I think they might’ve been a dog mix, maybe had an owner at some point?” Adeline adds, nudging at her sweater zipper. Only mixes have blue eyes, since it’s quite literally impossible for wolves to have blue eyes. His worry- well, it’s understandable worry- though she doesn’t think she deserves any sort of praise on the manner,.

(I want her to get in the mix, at least a little bit! So I’m thinking now is a good time for her to be a little suspicious, and go looking more into those books she’s found in the library! And the ones she’s feeling ‘drawn’ to per se!)

The corner of Jack’s mouth twitched downward ever so slightly hearing that the wolf had almost attacked Adeline. At least it didn’t hurt her… Did he have control for that moment? God… If only he could remember last night… At least she doesn’t suspect anything, right? Hopefully. Adeline hasn’t asked too many questions, something he appreciated.
He shrugged his shoulders, trying to appear casual once more.
“It being a mix makes sense.”

, -~ Adeline Nicholson~- , Adeline shrugged in reply, hands in front of her idly. She’s inclined to agree, obviously, she.. suggested it. Think. A wolf and dog mix, or a wolf and something else mixed together? Think of the visions.
The bones snapping, and reforming. Adeline blinked, remembering something, maybe the voice was just her.. subconscious or something. The words ‘visions’ doesn’t sound promising though, to be frank. “Yeah… it just.” She pauses, picking at the corner of her fingernail, “Weirdly.. ah- it’s nothing. Uhm. So.. what’re you doing out here? Going for a walk- obviously- uhm. Is you’re let any better?” Adeline asks, tone genuinely wondering.

Ah, good. A change of subject. He’d be less likely to blow his cover.
“Leg’s still a problem. It’s still stiff, like it doesn’t want to bend properly when I take a step,” he answered, looking down at said appendage with a mix of annoyance and despair, “I’ve been trying those exercises you mentioned, but I don’t know… I don’t think it’s ever going to heal properly….”

, -~ Adeline Nicholson~- , Adeline gives him a visibly sympathetic expression. She’s had plenty of experience with people who don’t get their full mobility back, and it’s not too surprising, but it’s still.. ah, upsetting none the less. “Doesn’t bend fully..?” She mumbles, brows furrowed. Glancing down to is leg almost the same moment he did. “Sometimes.. well, full mobility doesn’t come back, but learning what makes it feel better, and when to rest helps a lot.” Adeline says, trying to be encouraging, giving a shrugged off smile. “Ah.. if it’s stiff, warming it up helps a lot. Like wearing a leg warmer over your knee.” She suggests as well, blinking in thought. Having warmed up muscles also prevents more damage if you strain it too much, so it’s a win win. Maybe she should write down a list of things and send a message to him to see if that’d help any..

Catching Maria's flushed face from the corners of his vision, Javalle shrunk back from secondhand embarrassment. A hurried response tumbled from his lips. "It's fine. You don't have to go. I'll fetch you something after we both eat."
Almost as if the mention of food had summoned their meal, Javalle picked up the plate containing the double stack of pancakes and berries, placing the dish and utensils delicately by Maria's seat. Javalle themselves sat a little ways away from the girl so the pair didn't feel forced to make eye contact. Maria would do better without him figuratively breathing down her neck.
Javalle listened, his unfocused gaze taking on bewildered look at the mention that Maria was burdening him. " Please. It's the least I can do with company over. Oh, and I have honey and some jam if you'd wish to add anything fancy. I hardly get to make meals for anyone but myself, so this is a nice change of pace." It took a couple of seconds for him to realize how lonesome it sounded. He wasn't used to all this smalltalk either.
"Well, I hope my cooking tastes at least better than squirrel meat. " He added with a light, slightly forced grin before taking a bite.

(Hey guys. I know I've been gone a while and I'm sorry. I got sick, I lost my motivation, I got sick again, one of my kids got sick, and now I've finally made it back here but honestly I'm still lacking the creativity necessary to write anything. I just figured I owed you guys an explanation as to why I've been gone. I'm thinking I might open up my characters so they don't get stuck if I can't get on.)

“Well, when I get to town, I’ll keep an eye out for one of those,” he said, shoving his hands in his pockets. He wished his healing wasn’t still so inconsistent. Wounds were not too much of an issue anymore. Even when he was in the hospital, he healed too quickly for someone who was mauled. He couldn’t tell if his leg just didn’t heal properly, even in his coma, or if it was part of the curse he was given.

.' * Adeline V. Nicholson * '. Adeline nods, glancing down to the injured leg of her friend. "That's probably a good idea." She mumbles in reply, thoughts pausing on something. "Actually- ah, how is it healing? You didn't get out too long ago, no?" Adeline asks a tad suddenly, looking up at him with furrowed brows. Her hands slide into her own pockets out of habit, and a lack of knowing what exactly to do with the appendages, picking at the fraying material lining the inside. It's likely still needing active bandage switches and ointment.. Jack's still probably taking a small round of antibiotics as well. Getting your leg mauled by a wolf comes with a lot of factors in the healing process. And he's walking better than she thought he would have. Last she'd heard around the hospital.. it wasn't a pretty scene in any capacity, his leg in particular taking a large brunt of the provoked wolf's rage. That also makes her curious. From her occasional random bouts of unnecessary google searches, and book reading for school projects.. wolves aren't really the type to attack without reason, like Adeline thought, maybe the wolf was hungry..? A bit odd, but maybe if it was a wolf without a pack, which would explain why it was quite so close to town she supposes. Still a bit out of place though. (My love for random additional inner thoughts is shining in this particular post, pft ^^')

" He added with a light, slightly forced grin before taking a bite. Maria watched as the two stacks of pancakes were set on the table. Food, real and normal food! Oh how good it looked. After how unnerving the squirrel was to eat last night these disks were made of gold at how she was eyeing them. She barely registered as Javalle sat down and started to talk to her. A guttural growl left her throat as she quickly started to eat them plain and dry, which was perfectly normal despite what some members of her family think!(I stand by this) It was only when it came to normal food that she might seem like a “typical” werewolf. She stopped half way through the first disk she looked at her host and blushed even more. Okay first real impression as a human and you still look like a complete weirdo, good job Maria. Swallowing the bit of pancake she had in her mouth she said, “S-sorry, didn’t mean to go so feral there. It is much better than last night, thank you.”

Again the corner of his mouth twitched. Oh god, how can he explain it without it looking… odd?
“It’s um… healing better than I was expecting. Just happy I got to keep the leg at all is a blessing in of itself,” he started, taking one of his hands out of his pockets to rub the back of his neck. Yeah, looking real casual there…
“I don’t remember too much of it when I was out of the coma, I was still pretty medicated,” not a lie, he can at least tell himself that.
(Because of you I’ve been starting to put Jack’s thoughts more in my writing <3)

.' * Adeline Nicholson * '. A wispy light blond brow quirked an idle, automatic motion. Before Adeline gives a small, and slightly awkward smile, the usual she thinks a tad resignedly. She's glad to hear it's healing well. Adeline's seen plenty of terrifying, if borderline horrific injuries people have recovered from.. she's happy he's one of them to have a chance to recover. "Oh? That's good to hear." She replies, smile upticking just slightly more. Though she does take a notice of his nervous posture? "Hm-? Oh, yeah. It's hard to remember much of anything with the type of medication most people are given after certain injuries." That makes a hesitant, but pestering thought come to mind. Taking on nervous posture herself, Adeline asks in the most polite, and gentle manner she can muster. "Do.. you remember much of the- ah.. attack itself?"And why would a wolf, so out of place attack him? Ask the right questions, and you might actually figure it out. The voice sounded impatient. If nearing the slightly rude territory of tones. The voice seems more.. noticeable now, Adeline's eyes flicking around for a moment as she listens to Jack. (Awe ;; I'm happy to hear that! ^^)

Jack visibly cringed at that last question. It still felt so fresh and yet so distant of a memory at the same time.
“I… No… Not… Not really…” he stammered, breath picking up, just barely noticeable, “It’s not really something I want to remember, but it… it comes back to me in bits and pieces. It was at it’s worse when I first saw myself in the mirror when I got out.”
Claws and teeth against his skin.
Snarling and screaming…
Screaming…
Red everywhere…
A shutter ran through his body. No, not today. He not going to spiral right now. He’s not back there. Adeline wasn’t there, focus on that.

.' * Adeline V. Nicholson * '. Adeline instantaneously looked guilty, already gently sliding her hands from her pockets to settle infront of her in a delicate posture. He looked terrified even thinking of it, why did she even think asking was a good idea in any capacity?She apologized quickly. "God- Sorry, I.. shouldn't have asked." Adeline says quietly, and genuinely, expression a soup (Yes soup) of worry and regret. She fumbles only slightly, tilting her left foot. Odd how so many creatures make such tiny adjustments to stay up right without even bothering thinking of it.
Adeline cringes, "Uh- uhm. You were walking to town, right? Do you want.. company?" she tries to divert the conversation, figuring he might not want to stay on that particularly horrific subject. (God why did she bring it up-?) And if he denies her company after asking such a terrible question she wouldn't even blame him. She's never been the best in social environments.

Jack slowly nodded his head, Adeline’s voice pulling him out of those memories.
“I-It’s okay… You didn’t know.”
It’s not like he’d ban the topic altogether, sooner or later he’s going to have to share what happened if he’s to make peace with reality, but right now it’s… It’s too soon. Still too fresh. And he still didn’t have all the pieces of that night put together in his head yet. If she were to ask again, he’ll probably answer as honestly as he can. Just not yet.
At least her change of subject was a welcomed distraction.
“Yeah, I was,” he replied, voice steady again, “I wouldn’t mind some company.”
(Honestly a 1920s AU sounds fun! I like period stuff like that)

. ‘ *- Adeline Nicholson - * ‘. ᓚᘏᗢ Adeline stood there a tinge awkwardly, hands shoved into her pockets with a slight nod. She.. is, again, not great at reactions -o r appropriate questions apparently- I’d say they’re perfectly appropriate.
Adeline ignores the whisper, the faintest of flashes of blue-black feathers in her vision before she’s gazing up at Jack at her conversation steering, giving a faint smile. “Alright.. Uhm. Yeah. Lead the way?” The blonde responds, glancing over to the path it seemed he was likely traveling on before he decided to take a short break. She’d say he shouldn’t be really walking this much just yet - No he shouldn’t - but if his leg has healed decently since the attack - too well frankly - then it should be fine.. So long as he doesn’t overexert himself. Helping rebuild any lost muscle, and training it in general is important. (Hm.. What would everyone do, or dress like xD? I figure Adeline would normally wear plain, middle to high middle class dresses with her straight hair curled and pinned up some. Maybe some cute little low black heels or something akin!)

(Ha.. I've, made another character! Say hallo to my newest addition. And I just realized he's the first male character I've had on here? Huh. Well, here he is! My muse has been running a little rampant lately with character ideas, and I figure he might fit in well here ^^ Name) Anthelme Bellamy
Description) Anthelme has a lightly toned, though not particularly noticeable, structure, tall and nimble, standing at 6”1. He has a very sculpture-like structure, angular and dainty, with his eyes ever so slightly downturned and somewhat full lips. His skin is extremely pale, with cool undertones, and a plethora of beauty marks, moles, and the occasional constellation of freckles. His face is mostly devoid of these besides a few freckles at his left temple, and a particularly noticeable beauty mark right at the corner of left eye. He also has slight dimples when he smiles, his white, and mostly straightened teeth minimally on display with his natural smile. A favorite of some peoples is the golden molar at the back right side of his mouth. And his eyes are a pale brown, with a dark outer and inner ring, and small spikes of shining gold coming right from the middle. His shoulders, as compared to his face, are almost completely covered in freckles, small, pale brown dots that might not even be easy to spot with his overall pale complexion. The majority of his scars lay on his back, thin, but shallow long strikes that span from his neck, and down to his mid and lower back.
His hair is pitch black, and just slightly raven blue in particular angles of light. His curly hair is generally worn natural, or gelled back to stay out of his face. Though ornate hair clips, or even small bobby pins and snap clips are his go to, almost always having one in his hair, even if it’s a horrific color, or worn to near pieces.
He has a singular tattoo, an ornate little thing with almost henna style floral patterns circling around a precious, hand written ‘J’. His voice overall is mellow, and the tiniest bit scratchy. Not to mention the strong French accent it’s always carried since he started learning other languages. His voice is often a curiosity laced sound.
His clothes are generally business casual, pleasant white or black tennis-shoes with slacks, corduroy or smooth, he also has a few favorite pairs of jeans in his closet. He has a particular liking for jackets, especially knee length jackets, or pleasant waist length jackets with hoods and collars. He occasionally wears oxfords, though no matter the shoe, he’ll always wear mismatched socks. The fates have dictated it.
He’s a man of jewelry, with twin silver, braided bracelets on each wrist. And a singular piercing over all, a helix in his left. A small gold hook with a gold chain going down, and lopping to hook onto the bottom of his lobe. His two most prized, is the small, quaint circular locket of shining, white metal with a old, worn leather cord holding it around his neck. And a ring on his left ring finger. A sturdy, ornate beauty. A smoothed gold band, with a flat diamond shape, with a pale green swirling stone held in place by pieces of intertwined white oak and gold shaped to appear as leaves.
And the last thing, and the things he detests the reason for, is shades occupy his face every second he’s outside for a long period of time.
Age: Appears 31, mentally has been a full adult since 1776
What you are) Vampire
Creature description) He has sharp, slightly jagged canines, the rest of his teeth turn mildly sharper when he has his fangs extended. His eyes gleam red at night, and unavoidable sight, but they swim with ruby when he’s particularly hungry. His skin also gets paler than occasion, shifting towards a sickly appearance. And he seems almost too clear, like you almost cannot look away.
Personality. Anthelme is a somewhat quiet, ever curious, and mannerly polite man. He values having a sense of chivalry and politeness, even if it’s not in his base nature to be so forthcoming to others he’s not in the know of. Generally, he’s a quietly cheery vampire. With quiet, quick and surprising humor, one to state an obnoxious obvious, or have plain witty jokes or ‘statements’. Most of his humor is muttered, or internal jokings and musings though. He’s a tad blunt, depending on the situation, not unwilling to call out anyone being idiotic by his standards.
Outside of that, he’s quite helpful, but over his years of experience, he’s not one to ruin the ‘mortal experience’ with certain things. Only stepping in on specific occasions if he sees it fit or necessary. The world spins, and sometimes Anthelme thinks you shouldn’t meddle. Outside of that, he’s a very, very curious man, with many interests. A particular love of his he’s had spanning many, many years is his adoration for the stars. He knows every constellation, every story behind them, and he knows the view from every perfect viewing point on Earth. He’s had time to explore, after all. The generality of space is not unincluded, he’s studied, and learned almost all he can of it, to what’s know and what’s theory. He’d likely be able to make it into NASA at his level.
His other interests, that’s much more reachable, is his love of tea, and expanding from that is his ability for growing things. Anthelme’s a plant lover, always having something to water and take care of. Herbs and other.. Oddities requiring a few dashes of this and that are his specialty. He doesn’t mind coffee on occasion, he’s better and prefers tea, but isn’t unlikely to make the best cup of coffee any coffee nerd would keel over for. A thermos is always in his hands, or attached to his belt or in his bag. His love for tea stemmed mostly as a way to hide the overwhelming, bitter scent of death that reeks from him. Now he mostly smells earthy, like dried tea leaves and dew.
His lve of plants, and.. One too many a friend or acquaintances buried, stemmed his knowledge of flowers, and in particularly his main way of expression, the language of flowers. Rather than taking friends for a nice walk out, he’ll send flowers. It’s an easier way to express himself, and a thing he enjoys, it’s one of his softer spots. Plus, he’s.. not a very happy man out in the bright, blazing scorching sun.
He’s a very passionate man, even quiet at most times, once you get to know him as more of a inner circle friend than an offhanded one. He’ll speak of his interest reverently, and ask any question he can think about. Though he prefers speech through flowers, or his native language of French, he’ll be curious in every language, no matter how much knowledge he’s gotten, twenty schools or not, he always has more to ask.
One of the largest downsides for him being a vampire, is the hunger. He’s always been particularly.. Thirsting, a thing he’s long learned to control, but the urge always lies dormant. IF he’s without some form of vampiric sustenance for too long, it can severely affect him mentally, physically, and in how he goes about things.
Background) He originates from a middle class family in France. Decently well know distributors of food stuffs, and spices. He worked for his family his entire human life. He married at a somewhat young age, after finding his love. After he’d been turned, he traveled place to place, well integrated into the supernatural community before deciding to try and lead a tinge more of a ‘peaceful’ life. Though, in his earlier years of vampirism, he’d made a few odd choices that have had long, long lasting effects. That being his herbal.. Oddity works for those he works for. Creating concoctions to keep the dead scent off of vampires, or supplying herbs and the such.
Family: All of his family has been long buried, though of those that he did have, he had a brother, and a sister, and two parents of course. His mother, Aubin, father Alerico, sister Aimee, and his brother Gervais. And his dearest wife, Josephine.
Romantic interests) Demisexual
Other) Anthelme has an absolute disdain for the sun. He’s always been particularly sensitive for reasons he’s tried in vain for centuries to find out. For that reason along, he detests summer even if it brings beautiful flowers and plants. Shades are a common occurrence for that simple fact.
He’s a fantastic cook, besides making great coffee and tea, his years of opportunity to learn has made him a particular, but good cook. He’ll never dare touch any messy food without and apron, or while wearing his pajamas. He has too much white clothing, and too much distrust in dry cleaners to dare stain anything.
He loves being in high places, he’ll bee perched in many a place, never the most worried for any injury that might come of him. This mostly stems from his habit of finding the best place to enjoy any view he thinks is worth looking at. Which is most things, he’s a bit of a starer if he’s not got the mental capacity to keep himself from doing so. So most of that energy is put on him admiring a single view for minutes, to hours on end.
On the more gruesome side of being a vampire.. He kept a dagger, a particular, and ornate dagger that his wife had gifted him once they’d married. It’s also the very one he’d had used on him in an attempt to have his life taken. Now he carries it with him as an odd remembrance, and uses it on the rarest of occasions.
