werewolves, werewolves everywhere

[warewolf]

Characters: One thread goes to Faolan and Kay, but if anyone else wants to gawk at an eight-foot wolf trying to look sneaky, you're totally welcome to tag in.
Open? Basically yes
Where: Anywhere between the castle and the fields outside the city.
When: Sunset, GHB 2
What: Kay is slinking off to warn Faolan about Selene, because he doesn't trust anyone associated with monster-killing hunters. He doesn't know that Faolan has already asked her if she wants to join his pack. Talk about awkward.
Warnings: Standard language + being a jerk warning that comes with any log Kay is in.



Great. Just great. It was just his luck that the day after he arrived, someone with ties to "Hunters" would show up. Kay had just finished dealing with the fallout of the last group of monster killers that had gotten wind of his existence -- he didn't need more.

But one thing he knew about monster killers was that they didn't care who was really guilty and who wasn't. Innocent or not, it didn't matter. If you were a monster, you were dead. If you got in the way, you were also dead. The only way to survive was to hide.

And Kay could name one innocent monster in this place who wasn't good at keeping secrets.

He held off until dusk, but couldn't justify waiting any longer. Sunset found him in full wolf form slinking from shadow to shadow, following Faolan's scent through town. Finding the trail wasn't hard, but sneaking? Well, when you were eight feet tall and covered in fur, you'd find it hard to be inconspicuous, too.

No. No, no, no, this was ridiculous, he wasn't going to --

-- aw, to hell with it. Kay leapt to his feet and bounded off after Faolan. "Get back here, you little --!" he barked.

Faolan becomes a wolf mid-bound, hopping and barking at Kay before darting off, crawling under a bush.

[warewolf]

There wasn't room for Kay under the bush, so he leapt over the top of it and skidded to a halt on the other side. His paws dug furrows in the ground as he spun around, hoping to catch Faolan as he came out.

[greatsquirrelhunter]

Faolan, concentrating on wriggling through roots and branches, hadn't noticed. He got to the other side and stood up to shake himself off. He yelped, seeing Kay, and tried to scramble backwards, tripping over his own feet.

[warewolf]

Kay ducked down, intending to close his jaws around the scruff of Faolan's neck. If successful, he'd gently shake Faolan a little, growling, then throw him off to the side. If not, he'd just snap his jaws at Faolan.

[greatsquirrelhunter]

The puppy yelped a bit, rolling on landing and batting at Kay with his paws.

[warewolf]

Kay growled again, now snapping at Faolan, now jumping back. It was clearly playing, but he was getting a little careless -- Kay was much stronger than Faolan, and if he actually connected, he might hurt the kid.

[greatsquirrelhunter]

Faolan howled as his batting came a bit too close to Kay's teeth. He pulled his legs in tight against his body and cried.
