Talents In the Dark [Fantasy/ Human RP]

[Jump.Jump.Fall.]

Selene looked up at Ford and then frowned, her eyes troubled and concerned. She sighed and then quickly stepped out of the restaurant, keeping a safe distance from Ford. Selene looked around and then her fur bristled up, her gaze landing on a cat which stood on the other side of the street. She growled loudly and then her ears pressed back against her head. The cat didn't seem to notice Selene, and it began to groom itself with its rough pink tongue.

[Smexy Beast]

Ford chuckled a little bit, and then said, "c'mon," as he signaled Selene over. She really was a dog on the inside, whether or not she wanted to admit it. Ford turned back, and began walking towards the house again, wanting to be alone with Selene.

[Jump.Jump.Fall.]

Selene's ears flickered up when Ford spoke, but she kept on growling at the cat. She bared her large teeth at the cat and then hesitantly turned away, wanting to chase the cat and maybe even kill it. Selene turned her gaze to Ford and then slowly calmed, returning to her usual quiet and solemn mood. She padded after Ford and then walked up beside him, not caring if anyone saw them together. Selene gently nipped at Ford's fingers and then pushed her head up under his hand, so that Ford's hand rest on her head.

Ford smiled slightly at Selene's actions. He began to stroke her head with his hand, running it through the thick hair that covered her body. Although it probably wasn't a good idea for him to be seen treating a shifter so well, he figured that at a distance, she probably just looked like a large dog in her wolf form. The two eventually made their way towards Selene's old house. Ford began walking up to the front door of the building. He suddenly realized that they had never locked the door, but decided most people would have likely ignored the house from the combination of it's scent and age.

Selene slowed to a stop in front of the door, staring at the abandoned house with blank eyes. Her ears pressed back against her head and then she took a step back, the foul stench of rotten food traveling up her nose. Selene growled and then her fur bristled up in pure and utter disgust, trying to back away from the terrible smell. She shifted to her human form and then clasped her hands over her nose, pinching it tightly shut. Selene looked over at Ford and then her eyebrows furrowed, her eyes pleading and desperate, wishing that Ford would stay away from the powerful stink of the house.

Peering over his shoulder, Ford laughed a little bit after seeing Selene's profound reaction to the house's odor. He turned around and started, "well, unless you can find us somewhere better for us to sleep…" before trailing his words off to a halt, assuming the rest would have been implied. Although the stench wasn't as much of a problem for Ford as it was for Selene, he still didn't like it. However, their housing options were limited for the time being, and at the very least, he needed some of the equipment he left in the house.

[Jump.Jump.Fall.]

Selene slowly lowered her hands and then her nose crinkled up in disgust. She gagged and then slowly stepped towards Ford, her ears pressed back and her tail tucked up under her. Selene let out a soft cough under her breath and then walked up behind Ford. She grabbed onto Ford's hand, clinging to him tightly, and then managed to fake a smile. Selene sighed; the smell was still bothering her, but she could deal with it if she kept her mind off the horrible stench.

Ford scratched Selene behind her ear with his free hand, and began walking towards the house with her. He was a bit surprised the house hadn't aired out within the time they were gone, but then again, it was pretty strong when he left. He opened the front door, and after a basic scan of the surroundings, was pleased to see the equipment he had left was left untouched in his absence.

[Jump.Jump.Fall.]

Selene closed her eyes tightly, a wave of the stench hitting her and making it hard to breathe. She tightened her hold around Ford's hand, the smell tormenting her with its powerful moldy scent. Selene pinched her nose with her free hand and then inhaled a deep breath from her mouth. She clung onto Ford, her eyes still sealed shut, and her ears flickered up.

[Smexy Beast]

After becoming tired of the horrible stench, Ford decided to make some changes. He began to move throughout the house, opening all of the windows he could find. When he eventually located the back door, Ford began to move back towards the kitchen, to move the old refrigerator out, asking Selene to help him, hoping the stench wouldn't drive her away from assisting him. The old machine seemed fairly light, at least for it's age. It looked like someone had gutted it of what few useful parts it had, which didn't bother Ford too much, since it would only make the load easier.
