Still staring at the window, Javalle hardly noticed Maria making her way over his direction, having difficulty getting their jeans up. They were about to run to the bedroom to get a belt, until the young werewolf offered to clean the dishes. This small request caught the feline shifter by deliberate surprise: obviously not accustomed to hear someone offer to help him. Still, the shifter bowed his head respectfully. He wouldn't deny the assistance when it presented itself. "Oh, uh- That would be a big help. Thanks. Let me get that belt for you."
Taking the task as an incentive to leave the kitchen, Javalle started past the hallway to his room again. After a seconds thought, they grabbed a pale beige belt from the rack he mentioned earlier. It was plain, and a little worn down, but still practical. They didn't mind giving it away to someone who needed it.
Making his way back now, Javalle stopped by the kitchen table and dropped the belt with a light thud. "Here you are. I appreciate you doing this for me. " He tried to keep his posture relaxed and casual, despite the ever itching urge to take a walk through ths forest.

^^ I'll put up another post for Callisto. If anyone wants a specific run in with her- lemme know, she's not particularly busy, except being drained from the long night of staying shifted- I'm.. now imagining a jaguar trying to casually lay on a couch while she's probably watching a random k-drama.)

.' *- Adeline Nicholson -* '. ᓚᘏᗢ She untucks a few strands of hair from behind her ears, the odd internal hope that the few looser strands might block the voice. Adeline's worried, the 'break down and start crying' type of worried and the tiniest bit of a tremor is in her hands as she walks, following Jack. Steady, follow the.. the steady source of-.. walking person. Follow. Insanity? They always jump to the most extreme conclusions so quick.. That one sounded like she wasn't meant to hear it. You saw my little message of the library, yes? You might want to get their sooner over later. Punctuality. Not to mention how little knowledge you'll have this old without any semblance of training..
Lidded blue eyes blink at Jack's question, giving a quick, habitual smile. "Oh- yeah, yeah I'm fine." Gia I can feel the anxiety riddling off of you. .actually- perfect timing, I'd needed a good conduit-Adeline glances over his shoulder to a beady eyed looking crow staring down at them, "Yeah.. uhm. How.. are you? I hope you've been doing alright, even with the leg." She asks, head tilting just slightly. Denial. Gaslight the voices away. Adeline- she's fine, all good, dandy, dapper in fact. I'm right here.Jack gave her one last worried look before giving her a shrug, returning his gaze back to the road ahead. Clearly something was up, but Adeline didn’t want to share. That’s fair. It would make him a hypocrite to press for more details. They both had secrets to bare, it would seem. Hopefully it wasn’t as life altering as his. Adeline, he would consider, is his closest friend here. It would kill him if she was as entangled in this werewolf mess as he was. After walking in what seemed like endless uncomfortable silence, a narrow pot-hole seemed have materialize in from of him. It’ll be a cold day in hell before he’d admit to not seeing it in time. And of course, fate ever against him, the stupid idiot he was, stumbles into it with his stupid busted leg. He lets out a rough and startled yelp as he almost face-plants in the the asphalt. Great. Brilliant. Way to show your friend you’re doing fantastic. (Sorry for leaving you in purgatory soot. Potentially life-altering things are some-what underway and it’s been occupying my thoughts lately. Fortunately it’s the good kind of change! I promise!)

She asks quietly, sending a quick glance to the pothole, almost to say 'that was rude' before glancing to his leg. "Did you twist your leg..?" (Oh, you're all good Juno!

Sage followed the wolf's instructions but was too curious to acually calm down, "were-wolf? I mean- I've heard legends of them but a real were-wolf?! And what the heck is a were-fox?!" she was very keen on asking as many questions as posible, "How do you turn back? also, isn't only full moons that you shift? How did you become one? wait- scratch that- how did I become one? thoughts and memories pulled at her mind, inviting her to try and remeber but there were more questions to be asked, " Also why. and how. Wait- do I have any powers as a were-fox? I know that books and movies arn't always spot on with real life." She started to ask another, but decided to give Lexa a chance to answer.

Lexa watched as the young shifter rattled off her questions. "First off a werefox is like a werewolf except you change into a large fox. Oh and other shifters exist to by the way. During the full moon you are forced to change but you can change into your shifter form whenever you want. Now, how you become one is a mystery. For some people its in their blood or it just manifest itself. Were you feeling a strong emotion before you turned?"

Hey wanna play twenty questions? I'll ask them, and I won't give you a chance to answer ( Hawkeyes258) Although Sage ddn't want to addmit to it she nodded, " Anger, " She replied simply, " Do you know any other shifters? And I don't think it was blood, my family must of mentioned it to me sometime? But isn't the only other way bites?" A memory forced its way to the front of her mind, "Of course! I remember wandering in the forest when i was eight or so, I came across a fox and it scratched me!" Sage paused, "But wait, I've had pleanty of strong emotions since then- so why didn't I shift then- why now?" She looked back at Lexa hoping she knew more on this then herself.

"I do I'm actually apart of a pack of shifters along with most of my family being shifters." Lexa said. She sits down on her haunches so that was she comfortable. "Do you mind me acting how old you are? Young shifters begin their transformation between the ages of thirteen and sixteen though some can change later on in life."

Maria gave a quick nod as she started to wash her dishes. She was honestly curious as to why Javalle seemed a bit surprised when she offered to help clean up. Wasn’t cleaning up one’s own mess normal? Well, maybe her lynx friend has just never had guests that actually cared to be considerate of their host? The werelynx had done so much to help her the prior night it was only right to do something in return. He also gave her food, it was against the law not to be nice to him.
As she finished washing her stuff she turned to see her host as he brought the belt she asked for. Finally, all this making sure that the jeans didn’t fall off was starting to get a tiny bit annoying. She quickly went and grabbed the belt and put it on. At last her outfit was complete. “Thank you, for all this I mean it,” she warmly said.

He fell hard, but he didn’t feel any breakage. That’s good. His hands stung. A quick look showed them all scraped and bleeding. Brilliant. He hopes that Griffindale didn’t have any vampires as well as werewolves. A part of him expected one to come charging from the forest at the smell of his blood like a shark. Not something he needed in this crazy town. ”Yeah… Yeah I’m fine,” he muttered, face hot with embarrassment, “Just help me up if you can… I think it did more damage to my hands than my leg.”(Jack’s reaction to Anthelme if the meet: ):< )

She ignored her breathing stuttering ever so slightly, and grimaced. "Yeah uh- yeah of course.." She says, offering a lending hand. He probably shouldn't leave dirt on that many cuts and scrapes.. it'll probably make them hurt more. Well- it's not like it's his leg bleeding out after getting mauled by a wolf, so a few scrapes isn't that bad. Adeline's ninety percent sure her occasionally clumsily self had worse as a child. She had more stitches than birthday's by the time her sweet sixteen rolled around. He doesn't have the most luck in the forest, does he?"So.. uh, where were you heading to?"(Pft- Anthelme may or may not come running, it really depends.. how hungry is he? xD Adeline would just be like o.o)

“I was going to go to the diner for something to eat, then the library,” he said taking her offered hand, wincing a bit. He brushed his hands on the sides of his pant legs, cleaning them as best he could. If only he had brought a water bottle to clean off any of the dirt and blood off his hands. Then again, he hadn’t planned on tripping and falling flat on his face…
Lately he had been such a mess… Ever since the full moon…
“I wanted to walk the way, since I needed to exercise the leg. And I… I didn’t want to keep asking for rides from my roommates. Not a fan of being a burden…”
(I was going to put in a slight nod to Jack’s small crush on Adeline, but I’ve decided to make him oblivious. Like, as smart of a guy he is, he would 100% be oblivious. All like “Huh, I spend all my time with my one friend who’s also a girl. Wierd.”)

.' *- Adeline Nicholson -* '. ᓚᘏᗢ Adeline nodded a tad distractedly, feeling the tiniest bits of his blood on her aiding hand. The feeling made her wince as she stared at the small specks of red- Don't. Wipe it off, now, young one. Now.
Adeline felt.. odd, and before she'd moved to almost frantically wipe her hand off, similarly to Jack, the red was gone. Just the specks of dirt that'd transferred. She looks up, sparing a (terrified) glance to his hand (and her own) before tilting her head. "Oh- you're headed to the library? I.. was planning on walking there after this- ah, walk, actually." Adeline says, heartbeat like a humming bird's wings in her chest. The tiniest of tremors in her voice. She had this sinking feeling. Adeline gave him a relatable look, she knows the feeling well. Lacking a car (even with a license), she had to always ask her parents or uncle to drive her. "I'm sure they wouldn't mind on occasions.. with your leg how it is now anyway?" She pauses. "Roommates-? Oh- you found somewhere to stay at?" She asks, perking up some. Adeline felt energized, almost like caffeine, even with the shadow of horror hanging off of her shoulder. It- well.. doesn't feel good. Almost like forceful energy. (Pft- Adeline is similar somewhat xD She's like.. "No.. no, that couldn't be that weird, that I have this kinda fuzzy feeling whenever I keep on running into him on outings. Nothing wrong with that?" Also! I saw an opportunity in this particular post, and took it! A little.. interesting reveal here ^^)

“Yeah, Delvin, who I guess is the unofficial mayor or something, was the one who found me. Offered a place to stay in one of his cabins. I plan on staying there until I get settled into my new job. Somewhere closer in town so I don’t have to walk so far.” Jack explained as he started to walk again, hands shoved firmly into his pockets. Knowing himself, he would starting picking at the thin, peeling skin, making his hands even more raw than they already are. He had a bad habit with his cuticles already…
A part of him desperately wanted to tell her why he was going to the library. What he was researching. Sure, he could say he was just brushing up on the town folklore and work from there, but the thought of lying to Adeline turned his stomach the more he had to do it. He didn’t like to lie to anyone, but because of the beast lurking deep within his bones, he was swore to secrecy. Besides, Adeline was already a skittish woman as it was, she would only see him as the monster he saw himself, surely.
Glancing at her quickly showed that she was indeed hopped up. Nervous? Fear? Was she scared of him?
“I hate to pry, but are you sure you’re alright?”
(Poor guy would be crushed if he found out she was getting weird visions because of him!)

But Adeline is mildly terrified that bottling up thoughts and emotions might make her literally explode at this point, which doesn't seem to absurd anymore.

,' > Anthelme C. Bellamy < ' .
🩸 Pale hands slowly dragged across the door blindly until fingers hooked onto a handle, pulling it open with a tad too much force behind it as the vampire stepped foot inside. Anthelme blinked five times too many in a row, trying to get his vision back, a bright image stuck behind his eyelids. He knows he's always been particularly more susceptible to the sun, an annoying trait he's had in his human, and vampiric life. But it doesn't make his inability to be in the summer sun for more than a few hours an absolute inconvenience. He sorely misses his layers of gloomy stratus clouds, and occasional drizzles. Wiping his hands off without a care for the high quality corduroy beneath, he steers his way towards the stairs of the hotel he's booked himself to stay in until the apartment he's renting is fully cleared out. He's here for a reason, besides finally having a good place to grow a few flowers he's not had the chance to do for a while.. he got one of those rather- ah, alarming messages, from who he'd rather not speak of for fear of someone hearing him. An asylum is a probably a better alternative, the Bellamy snorts at that, rolling up his waist length jacket's sleeves, and pushing the shades on his nose up to rest on his head. It doesn't take too long for the man to make his way to his floor -the fourth- and push his way through. He doesn't really like elevators. Cramped spaces with closed doors, and no where people can escape from. Or it plummets with him inside of it. Both aren't very nice. unclipping his thermos from his belt, he undoes the lid, and takes a quick sip of the herbal mixture inside -a bit spicier, he's trying something new- before quickly stowing it away again. As grumpy as the sun manages to always make him, he's found a rather pleasant place to settle for now, all he needs to do is wait a few days for his soon to be apartment.. and figure out what exactly in the summery I' enfer he's here for exactly. (Alright, here ya go Hush! Anthelme's in a bit of a mood, he's not a very big fan of the blazing.. blistering.. deathly ultraviolet ray creating star in the sky. Tis his mortal enemy. A bit funny, thinking he could technically outlive it-)

"First you need to relax your body then focus inward. What I mean is try thinking or telling yourself to change back or picture yourself changing back." Lexa said hoping that made sense. Some shifters had trouble changing back into a human and others did it easily.

Finally, all this making sure that the jeans didn’t fall off was starting to get a tiny bit annoying. She quickly went and grabbed the belt and put it on. At last her outfit was complete. “Thank you, for all this I mean it,” she warmly said. Javalle was pleased by Maria's politeness and replied in an equally kind tone, "Of course. I enjoyed having you around." They waited briefly for the girl to finish washing the plates and put the belt on. "All right, I think we're good to go. Let's head out." Carefully, Javalle began to walk over to the exit and opened the front door, inviting Maria to go outside first. Then, they stepped through, inhaling a breathful of fresh summer air. After locking the door behind him, Javalle stuffed the house keys into one of his pants pockets and started to plan a slight detour from his territory to the Primal Bloods. It was a lot easier to navigate the paved path compared to the dense undergrowth they wandered through last night. For starters, the pair didn't have to risk being seen by enemy rogues, and it saved them from the humiliation of getting dirty again. They knew their way around this path and walked along with ease, hardly looking behind him. He didn't speak much to his companion during this time, nor did enjoy he inform Maria on taking this new route. Instead, the feline shifter focused on any scents and sounds that were brought to his attention. One wrong step into the wolf pack's terrain and he would get mauled to pieces. That being said, Javalle halted a few feet short and wrinkled his nose from what he believed was a boundary of territorial wolf scent. Disconcertingly, Javalle strained their hearing and picked up sounds of two people discussing something in detail. He wasn't sure what is was about, but any trace of noise from the pack was a step closer to getting Maria reunited. Carefully, Javalle lifted his hand as a cue for his partner to stop alongside him. " Hang on. I think I hear voices up ahead. " He turned their attention briefly to Maria again and gave her a questioning glance, as if to ask her, do you recognize any of them? The were-lynx did not wish to intrude on whatever conversation was being held. But, perhaps, if Maria recognized anything, she could talk to the pack members herself. Nevertheless, he would have to introduce himself sooner or later no matter how bad it irked them.

Create illusions?" Sage's head twisted and turned, trying to fit all the peices of this puzzle in one, "Do you know how to those things?" Sage knew she should follow the wolf's instructions and change back but if she was a were-fox and she did have powers she mght as well investigate incase she could turn back anytime soon, "Also are there other were-creatures? or just foxes and wolves, I've never even heard of a were-fox untill today so I assume there could very well be other types of were-cretures," Sage glanced back up to the were-wolf and sat down, a bit more relaxed but still pretty confused, Hopefully a few more peices before I can solve this puzzle, She thought. Sage often had ideas and knowledge fitted into their own specifc puzzles, and when she learned them and fully knew them she deemed them finished, if she learned more she would exapand the puzzle, a simple way to store thoughts really.

"Sorry to say I don't. You would have to ask a fellow Werefox that question. And yes there are other shifters. The pack I'm apart of has werebears, werecoyotes, were-cats, even were-wolverines if you can believe it." Lexa said chuckling a little to herself. It all sounds crazy unless you have seen it yourself. "That's just in this region mind you. Oh and in case you might be thinking it yes vampires are real too."

He kept his face as neutral as he could muster, trying not to show the slight frustration he was feeling. He wanted to believe her, he really did. But who was he to judge. He had his own secrets, after all. Besides, it was most likely that Adeline wasn’t really, if at all, afraid of him, since she still chose to hang out with him. At least that mean she didn’t see him… “Change”… Instead he just slowly nodded, focusing back on the road ahead as the skyline of the town came into view. ”Yeah, couldn’t be the coffee,” he said, then with a chuckle, “Y’know, there was one time I almost drank myself into a panic attack back in high school. I was trying to stay up late to finish up a final essay for my history class. Ever since then I only drink like maybe one cup of coffee a week. It was kinda embarrassing, thinking back on it.”Hopefully a story about a dumb mistake he had made when he was a bit younger would take her mind off whatever it was that was frightening her. Or scare her off of drinking coffee again, then that wouldn’t help at all.
