Aura stalked silently through the slightly chilly forest. It wasn't cold outside, but it was enough to hold down her wolf form and for that, she was grateful. Though the thing that worried her was she had lost her pack, she was wandering around like a lone wolf, but she knew she wasn't, she had a pack. Everyone was returning to their human forms. Aura clung to her wolf form, she wasn't unstable anymore so it was pure will that kept her wolf so long. She knew, however, that soon spring would pierce through her fluffy coat and force her into her human form. Great. Aura trotted through the forest, her sensitive, black nose working rapidly to pick up the musky scent of wolf. She sensed someone distantly familiar nearby. Perhaps a new member to the pack? Her soft pads squished against the decaying leaves and slush on the forest floor, her insulated feet not sensitive to the cold of the ground. Slinking behind a tree, Aura peered out with her pale blue eyes, catching sight of a red wolf. He was approaching a human hesitantly. Aura let out a soft, but high-pitched whine, "Come back" it said, "you belong with us."

-Just letting you know, wolves cannot speak telepathically but they can send images to one another.-

Ryu nodded a bit when he replied. He did understand how Nalexedite was feeling since Ryu went through the same thing himself, sort of. "Which is why I never went back home, I hang around here so much I'd like to consider it a home I guess, until it's my time." Ryu wasn't much of a talker but Nalexedite wasn't the kind to repeat conversations, as far as Ryu could tell. He closed the door to keep the air from getting too cool inside, it was a risk he still didn't want to take. "When did you change back?" Ryu asked and would often ask everyone this so he coulld get some sort of basic idea when someone may change back and Ryu could be prepared. He remained standing but glanced at some of the windows to check the time without a watch. Too much time to kill, so he memorized what he needed to know without technology.

Damian perked his ears when the human moved. He tilted his head a bit out of pure curiousity like any other young wolf would. His green eyes intent and studying until he raised his hackles as another wolf approached. His gaze switched to the wolf behind him and he released a warning growl out of his new found instinct. Images of the girl flashed across his mind to show what he was curious about and he then looked back at the human girl. Taking a step foward, he lowered his head a bit to see if he could catch a better scent of the girl but he needed to be closer. Should he? Would it be a bad thing? She looked friendly but he already learned that looks could lie. Tell that to a chargeing full grown buck a month ago. Luckily, Damian didn't get hurt, he was a natural runner and he loved it.

{Hum.. I'll Probably Join.}

(I'd love it if you join piemaster but please, no spam... I dont want to sound harsh or anything..)

[keydemon]

((I meant that's what the noise implied, but yeah, I'll make it more clear next time. xD))

Aura's ears flickered backwards at the growl and backed up a step. This wolf was quite larger than she was and she didn't want to force him into coming with her. The human he was with seemed friendly, but her instinct caused her to hang back, not wanting to endanger her wild self. She could smell the human had food, but her instinct's will was greater than her hunger, since she had eaten only a few hours earlier. Hesitantly, she sent an image of Ryu's wolf form, hoping the image of the lead wolf would stimulate some memory. She sensed he was new, but... there wasn't much that she could do.

Nalexedite shrugged lightly, looking up to the cieling as he tried to register Ryu's words. "I think... like... An hour ago maybe? I'm not that out of control. I can shift when I want to." He said sharply with a bit of scorn in his tone, although... He lied. His anger her gotten to him at home and the second he came outside,he shifted at the brush of cold wind. He was lucky that no one saw him. It took Nalexedite two hours to shift back, working off his anger in the forest before shifting back, stealng one of his novels from his room so that he would have something to do. He had crossed his arms and glared off in the distance, now shutting his eyes and breathing slowly to calm himself so that he wouldn't shift again. It helped that the chilling air wasn't reaching him. He would rather not shift again in someone's presense.

==========================================================

When the wolf kept its distance, Mayia just held her smile and began to hum sweetly. That little tune was usually enough for her to sooth a creature and get them curious enough to come closer, even if it were by just a foot. She didn't get up and just held the packet of ground beef on her lap. So far, only one wolf other than Hunter had ever approached her. That wolf ended up staying with her until it had died of old age. She was saddened, of course, but she was able to gain a friend for a month longer. Mayia avoided saying the words, 'it's alright' and 'I won't hurt you' since she had a feeling that those words were always seen as lies. She just hummed her seet little tune and waited there, watching the wolf. She didn't notice the she-wolf approach the other, but if she had, she would have been overjoyed.

Ryu glanced at Nalexedite when he tensed up a bit. No matter what he said, no wolf can control their shifts. Even Ryu can't control his shifts, only the tolerance to temperature controlled this. Remain in the heat or somewhat warm air and then you can stay human, cold or even the slightest breeze can change them. It was unpreditable and different for every wolf. "I see," Ryu replied lightly and didn't press anymore conversation unless Nalexedite wanted to. He walked into the hallway to briefly check the rooms and all were empty and left untouch the last he check three days ago. He had been human for those three days and he luckily shifted near the cabin to grab a pair of clothes. You turn into a wolf, you lose everything and shifted back with nothing, the most annoying down side of being a werewolf.

Damian perked his ears once more at a new sound. He was dying to know what it was but the image of the alpha made him freeze. He could get into so much trouble for this but he hasn't seen the alpha in awhile, what he doesn't know wouldn't kill him right? Damian glanced at the she-wolf for a brief moment before taking more steps towards the human again, his red furred body fully exposed in the morning sunlight. His white belly and paws slightly dark from runnin so much. He kept his green eyes on the girl as he dared another step and then another, pausing when he was just a few meters away and he studyied her scent before waiting on what the girl would do. Still taking caution, he raised his head and his ears foward listening to the sound of what seemed to be the girls humming. Singing? All of his human emotions disappered when he was in this body and he didn't have the sense of a human either. Just plain animal, somewhat wild.

[Mayiamaru]

Nalexedite groaned a bit and stared up at the cieling. Temperature wasn't the only thing that made him shift. His anger triggered somewhat of a mental shift. He would lose himself to canine senses and go into a rage that no one was able to tame. After a few more seconds, he got up again, looking up the stairs where Ryu had gone and went out to his favourite spot again, taking out his novel the second he touched the cold air. He did what he could to keep himself from shifting, but he was sure that he would have to give in eventually. Luckilly, he had his sweater tied around his neck. He hoped that it would stay there even after he shifted. He would rather not get stuck out here in his human form... Being a werewolf was a nightmare, but he hid that well. He put up a facade to keep from having to bruise his pride and admit that he hated all this.

====================================

Mayia smiled a bit when the wolf came closer and did as she did with Hunter. She held out a hand for the wolf to smell. She didn't make any threatening moves at all, keeping her hand below the wolf's head so she was not to threaten of frighten it away. Taking out any food now would have been disasterous. "Hello." She said quietly, her head tilting out of impulse as she smiled down at the red coloured wolf. His eyes... They didn't seem like regular canine eyes. It confused Mayia for a second, but Hunter was kind of like that. She let it slide, but something about it was confusing... Now that she had thought about it, that old wolf was like that, too. Human-like eyes... She didn't question it until now. Something just seemed wrong.

[Honourable Villain]

Ryu glanced over his shoulder at footsteps behind but he didn't react. He took notice to Nalexedite's expression but there was nothing he could do. Shifting was a painful experience to all wolves. You could feel your own bones move as your fur grows out and canines kick in. Most shifts are quick, some are awfully slow. Again, this all varys on the wolf, everyone was different. Ryu decided to turn up the heat in the cabin. Fall was going to settle soon and the heat kept them from shifting. Warm or hot temperatures felt comfortable to werewolves but it could make any human want to move away.

Damian didn't move when the girl spoke but his head tilted to the side a bit when she extended her hand towards him. Her scent was much stronger now but his curiousity still killed him. What was so interesting? Damian blinked and then dared a few more steps to be a few inches from the human's fingertips. It was a first for Damian but he wasn't that very shy, some of his human nature showed through that as well as his eyes. He was very outgoing and always had questions, willing to do new things and take dares. He loved the thrill. Finally, Damian figured he could trust the human and he nudged her fingers a bit before lifting his head to see a reaction. Testing but studying.

[keydemon]

Aura's heart began to beat faster and faster the more this newer wolf moved towards the human. She knew that the alpha would be angry. Getting this close could allow her to see his eyes... Willing herself, Aura moved a few paw steps forward, her tail accidentally rustling a bush as she walked by. She froze. What would happen? This human... could have heard... Aura crouched low, her heart pounding in her chest and blood roaring in her ears, she could feel her adrenaline kick in. What now?
