The frown he wore deepened as he turned his face away from Adeline, not able to look her in the eye. His head hung from his shoulders and he leaned his weight on the shelf in front of him. He was swore to secrecy. The pack and outsiders like him were. It was for the safety of everyone. He could come up with another excuse. Wave it off like every other time. "You're reading too much into it," he could say, make up a story it's just the lingering trauma getting the best of him lately. It would make sense.
And yet, he couldn't bring himself to do it anymore. She needed to know. She had the right to know. And she had the right to cut contact with him out of fear. Hell, he would have done the same, if he was to be frank. He was a danger.
A beast.
That's what you are.
That's what you ARE.
He took a shaky breath, eyes squeezed shut, still not able to look at her.
"Adeline... Do you think I'm a monster?" he asked, "Because I do..."
(Let's gooo! He's just going to out himself and keep the pack and anyone else out of it, so Delvin can somewhat relax. I'm sure he won't be happy if he ever finds out lol)

++ Kashvad Shahrokhzad -- Royalty does not bow as he has been instructed many a time in his youth- and more recently- but the twitchy half-bend and chin dipping amalgamation that he attempted instead appeared to give the serving woman the impression that he was having a seizure on top of being a bird-summoning fiend. It...did not go over well. Kashvad's cringeing apologies sprung up like a fountain of paltry words as he near-tearfully worked to catch and release the irate avians under the woman's watchful eye. She stood in the hallway with the door wide open, uncaring of the cacophony reaching other occupants' ears in favor of holding his food hostage and insuring he didn't...sneak a sparrow into his kamarband or something of the sort. He isn't sure why she would believe that, but her matronly stare prevents him from questioning it.
He whispered an apology to the starling that had only just arrived, its betrayed stare never wavering from his own mournful one as he took it to the window and gently tossed it into the air. Kashvad had learned quickly that if he simply set them outside, they'd wheel back around and attempt to peck him for the trouble.
The whole affair was made more troublesome by the fact that he couldn't simply...whip around and catch them all with his supernatural speed. Moving like a human made him clumsy, he isn't accustomed to being less than what he is- and Kashvad can hear her disapproving tutting as he staggers around a footstool upon releasing the final bird and closing the window with a sigh. He's about to reassure her- again- that he'll clean the room himself when a burning in his neck bades him to look beyond her, dark eyes widening at the familiar sensation. |

[ I'm...really glad my characters aren't important right now actually gosh Sorry for being late. Again, Soot! ;;;
As a bit of an explanation, I'm trying to transition from an intern to an actual employee and it's very much a lot. My boss literally legit said that his "New Years Resolution for 2024 is to not be as 'nice' and 'understanding'." Even though I don't think anyone would use those words to describe him in the first place?
So I'm sure you guys already know this, but I'm not going to be as present. I know that Charlie is a doctor and Anya is a detective though, so I intend to hang on and really show up for important events! Even if I have to timeskip! I'll probably just do a time lapse summary in the start of my posts! So please feel free to tag me in events that require their presence! I have a lot of fun with you guys and I don't want to give up on this. ;;^;; ]

As Nightshade reached the library she peeked inside. There were two people sort of out of the way having what looked to be a very in-depth conversation. Ew. He's probably confessing love to her or something... She walked in and looked around for the section on paranormal stuff. The carpet was tan and felt oddly soft on her shoes. She felt out of place, with her slightly dirty boots and faded clothes. But pushing her anxiety away, she browsed for books on shifters. Quickly she found a dumb plastic cover book on werewolves. She rolled her eyes and shoved it back onto the shelf. There we go. She then found a book that seemed to haven't been opened in years. It had a brown leather cover and yellow pages, and it's pages looked handwritten. The title read, "Werecreatures of Griffendale, a History." She grinned and lugged it off of its dusty throne. There were tiny pods that had soft chairs and tables. She went over to an empty one and settled down, popping in a new stick of gum. The book smelled delicious, like old ink and dust. She drank in the smell and the words as she read. It was filled with good information like when the first attack had been and who had been suspected. She drifted off into her own little world while her mind relaxed at the old-fashioned phrases and hand drawn pictures. I could sit here for days reading this...

Javalle followed the couple of sister shifters, remaining silent. It appeared Sage had run off, chasing an abnormally large figure that crept in the shadows, unable to make anything out. The scent of smoke wreathed the air. Then, he blinked and missed it. The dragon, unbeknownst to him, had taken off to change back and instead a massive hawk took their place. Javalle took a breath in, enraptured by the bird's brilliant plumage flaring in the sun. "A phoenix." he whispered, not being able to contain himself. Childhood myths, confirmed before his eyes? The were-lynx almost forgot there were others present and refrained from asking the creature all the questions he could.
There was a curious glint to Javalle's eyes as he mentally questioned why a phoenix would be siblings with this newly transformed fox, but he knew it wasn't their place to judge. He'd let Lexa do the talking for now. After all, the younger werewolf knew more about assessing any threats to the Primal Bloods. He winced as they remembered the rogue ambush from last night, silently praying this wasn't a trick.
All he could do was exchange a concerned glace over his shoulder at Sage and Maria, the pair cowering near him. This was a lot of sudden stimulation to take in at once. Would now be a good time to leave? They took a couple of paces back, overwhelmed, wondering for the first time what it'd be like to turn invisible, merging themselves to the forest.

(Nightshade is gonna lose it whenever/if she meets the pack) Lexa gives Javelle and her sister a nod before jogging after Sage. She growls softly when she came face to face with the strange lizard like creature in front of her. Lexa had taken a few steps forward ready to shift into her wolf form once again. However, before she could do that some hawk started talking to her. She wondered what the hell was going on! Lexa glances over at the bird then to sage unsure of who to trust. "I might have." She says carefully. "Oh please," Leo said worriedly, "She's my sister, and I don't want her to run into another wild animal lke she did when she was 8, or a shifter," Leo thought about the dificulties he had to go through, and still did, he wouldn't want to wish that on anyone, always keeping secrets, lying, having to run away and make excuses every full moon, without trying to, he becomes his normal- erm- usual, hawk form, and looks around, "If you havn't seen her I have to go, I need to find her before sunset," he looked up at the sun, already decently low. |

"I think it might be to late for that." Lexa says crossing her arms over her chest. She decided to just go ahead and break it to him from one sibling to the other. "She might be hiding right now, but I found her in a were fox form confused and scared. I don't think that was a wild animal that bit her."

.' *- Adeline Nicholson -* '. ᓚᘏᗢ Adeline stayed helpfully silent for a few moments, staring at Jack, visibly, and mentally confused. "A monster-?" Shaking her head, she tries not to flounder. A monster can entail so many things. There's bad- terrible, horrific people out there, but a monster? What makes someone a monster? Adeline tries her best not to lose her grip. "Why.. would you think you're a monster?" Is all Adeline can really come up with, all the pieces not quite clicking yet. Think of his eyes. (The voice almost sounds like he's on the verge of singing) And then it's like a puzzle. "Oh..." She mumbles, brows knitting together as her shoulders droop. The gangly, unnatural, terrifying wolf. The same one, who she (she now knows) mistook for a half-breed. (She hears that voice hum amusedly at that) The eyes. It's.. the eyes. But how is that even possible..? Th- That is for later. Don't get sidetracked Addie, not now. What to do-Reassure. That might be the word you're looking for, anyway."You.. were the wolf. Last night. Weren't you?"(Ahk! Sorry for the late reply there ^^, and Hushabye ! I'll try to get a reply up when I'm able to for Anthelme, I've been a bit busy latley (and distracted, lol), so it might take me a bit!) |

After taking a breath, Jack slowly nodded his head, still unable to look at her. He felt nothing but pure shame.
“I don’t… I don’t remember anything that happen after I left your apartment, but as soon as you mentioned treating a wolf’s injuries, I knew it’d explained this,” he lifted up the hem of his shirt a little, exposing a bit of the bandages wrapped around his torso, “So thank you for that, I guess…”
He stopped talking and waited. Waited for her to either ask more questions or to scream at him. Tell him that he is a monster. That he’s a danger to everyone in Griffindale. That he should have been left for dead when he was attacked to spare the town.
(Oh Jack, if only you knew that your buddy also is a supernatural)

.' *- Adeline Nicholson -* '. ᓚᘏᗢ Well that.. didn't take as long as expected. Thank Gaia. Adeline can't help but internally laugh (a bit too manically at the sudden turn of events. Why does stress make her laugh-?) at the fact that she'd given a grown man dog ointment for clearly somewhat severe wounds. Jack's wounds. Oh. "Oh my God- are you okay?" Adeline half wheezes the words out after a few moments of plainly awkward silence, eyes widening after the pieces strewn about click. She takes in a quick, shallow breath. He's a wolf, the wolf from last night. And he was injured. How is- how is this guy casually walking around? Doesn't that hurt? Oh. "Oh my God you're a werewolf? You're.. that's possible?-" Adeline's voice is verging on nonexistent. She pauses again. "Wh..what do you mean don't remember? Anything? Not even how you got hurt..?" Adeline asks tentatively, hoping her downright sad floundering can be ignored in favor of the fact that Jack is a werewolf. A werewolf. 'Shifter', technically.Wolf-shifter, were-shifter? No, shifter, just shifter? Yes just shifter. |

Maria watched as Javalle started backing away from the bird. Honestly, she sympathized with him in that moment. Seeing a dragon and now a literal fire bird was a lot to take in at one time. At this moment the only thing keeping her from running away, aside from the realization that it would have been useless, was that her sister was here. She was more afraid of her big sisters anger than anything with scales or feathers.

"Just as I said, I just... Don't remember."
He finally lifted his head to face her. Jack more than anything wished he had a straight answer for her- hell, even for himself too- but every time he tried to think about what had happen the night before or even the night he was attacked, it was like a broken TV. Flashes of images popping up here and there but mostly static. Nothing.
"The most I remember from yesterday was leaving the house I'm staying at, then that's where it gets vague. I... sorta remember running into you and that girl, but not much other than I was in a lot of pain the whole day. Anything after the moon rose is just completely gone from my memory."
His eyes suddenly got intense, his pale blue eyes dulled gray in the dim lighting, "But I swear to you, I didn't hurt anyone. I know I can't remember anything, but I didn't hurt another human."
It was the one fact he was confident in. He may have gotten into a fight, but it had to have been with another were-creature. Afterall, why would he be allowed to walk around freely if he had killed someone in a feral state?

"She might be hiding right now, but I found her in a were fox form confused and scared. I don't think that was a wild animal that bit her." "What?!" Leo exclaimed then turned to the fox, "Are you my sister?" he demanded, "Are you Sage?" his memory flashed back to the day of the attack, after he had gotten attacked by the pheonix, and discovered he was a shifter, he had carfully watched Sage to the best of his ability, especially during full moons, but she had never shown any sign of beng one. "I am," the white fox interupted his thoughts, "I didn't know you were one to though! Much less a were- pheonix." |

"A lot has happened recently." Lexa mutters mostly to herself. This day had been a rather weird one to say the least. Lexa places her hands into her jeans pocket as she watches the two siblings interact. "Quite the shifter combination." She remarked.

.' *- Adeline Nicholson -* '. ᓚᘏᗢ Adeline nodded in mild disbelief as she listened, arms rising to wrap herself in an idle self comforting gesture. Well Sh@#, the supernatural exists than. "I-.. I believe you." She reassures quietly, still trying to wrap her head around this situation. HahaHA! Like you wouldn't believe.
No, really.
Irony.All she can really say is she believes he didn't hurt anyone. It doesn't really seem like he would..? Though Adeline supposes that is a bit naïve of her to say. So the fact that no one was reported.. well, dead, is probably a good sign he's telling the truth? And he remembers seeing her and the one kid.. Besides the fact that he looked about damn ready to pounce her last night, but that's aside the current point. He was wounded, probably scared. That's reasonable. What she doesn't get is.. "If.. it's alright to ask. Uhm. How long have you.. have you always been like this?" From the way he's talking about it, either his uhm, transformations haven't been going all that good lately, or they're a recent development. And damned if she's got any clue which one is true. Heck there might be an explanation she doesn't even know considering the freaking supernatural exists. |

"Since my accident," he muttered, lowering his gaze again, "It was... It was my first transformation, and I hope it's my last."
His hands curled into fist, so tight he was sure he was going to cut up is palms again.
"That's why I spend so much time at the library, and why I got a job here. I'm... I'm trying to find a cure for myself. I don't want to hurt anyone and I don't want missing gaps in my memory and sit there wondering if I've killed someone or not."
Jack could never understand how someone could embrace a curse like this. Maybe it was different because he was bitten and not born like this? Who knows.

Maria slowly got to her feet and sneaked up to her sister. Stay low and unnoticed, don’t get the fire bird’s attention. Inch clos behind Lexa she quickly tapped on her should we to try and get her attention. Then in the whisper she asked, “B-big sis, what is going on right now? What is with two were creatures that are literally mythical animals?”

Sage sat there, awstruck thats why hes gone every full moon! he said it was a club with his friends and they had a party each full moon, intresting... she glanced over at Lexa and her sister, she noticed slightly confused looks on their faces too, "Brother," she started, confused, "How are you a were-pheonix?" her mind rushed through the possiblities, Leo changed back to his human form, with such ease it looked as if he'd been doing it his whole life, "I'll explain everything later," he responded, "I don't want mom and dad to freak out though, do you know how to change back?" "Well erm-" Sage started but was interupted, "By the way thank you," Leo had turned to Lexa and her sister, what was her sister's name again? Sage had forgotten, she didn't even know if she had told her, Leo turned back to Sage, "C'mone sis, I'll teach you how to change back on the way, bye for now, maybe we'll meet again," And with that, Leo turned to walk away.

Lexa turns to look over at her sister. "I have no idea." She whispered back to her sister. There had to be some reason for these two creatures suddenly appearing. Did this have something to do with the rogues that attacked them yesterday or was it simply a coincidence? "Remind me when we return to tell Delvin." She knew her alpha ought to know so he could tell the others just in case they come across both of these creatures.

Lexa turns back to Leo and Sage. She hesitates for a moment before starting to speak up. "Should you both need a proper place to stay or want to be around shifters, you should seek out the Primal Blood pack."

Primal Bloods? Leo thought, then turned and replied, "Could you two meet me here, tommorrow, midnight? Sage could come too if our parents let her," He heard a small hmf, from the white fox next to him, but ignored it for now, "Sage, try imagining yourself, this fox, right now, becoming taller, losing the tail, morphing into you, that might work," Leo watched as she tried to turn back, it took a couple of tries, but eventually, she managed to become herself, he grinned and turned back to Lexa, who was pondering the thought.
