[centre][b][h1][color=aba000]Quinton[/color][/h1][/b][/centre] [i]"...Now, I’ve already dealt with one hunter that got too close; I won’t hesitate to take care of any others.”[/i] Quinton froze. Was she talking about the hunter that had been following them? Quinton was well aware that the hunter had been killed, but had that been Alessea that had killed them? She was protecting them, even before she'd been aware that they were wolves, if that was the case. She had managed to do something, that Quinton hadn't; been able to, for fear that Abigale might get hurt. He watched Abigale frown over the promise before she nodded, returning her attention back to the raccoon begging for her attention. Once Quinton was sure that Abigale wouldn't over hear, he said softly to Alessea, [color=aba000]"I found the hunter chasing us dead, I had intended to leave Abigale with the woman that runs the bed and breakfast and deal with the hunter myself. I didn't want Abigale to run her whole life, and she starts school shortly. So I was going to deal with them, so we could settle down, but I thank you for doing that" [/color] He looked over to Abigale, playing happily with the raccoon, and back to Alessea. [color=aba000]"Then it sounds like they might have no idea what they are doing. Surely if they had been here a few hours, they would have realised there are other wolves in the area. I haven't heard of any fuss, but we can approach them later, to make sure"[/color] He thought on that a moment, frowning. [color=aba000]"We came through a town a little while ago, that was realing from a wolf attack that left one person dead, the other somehow miracously uninjuried. i thought little off it, but...maybe theres a new pup running around somewhere"[/color] That was a rather unpleasant thought. An untrained pup, unguarded and not knowing what was going on? Dangerous. Perhaps he would go and see if he could track down the new wolf, just in case. He watched Alessea for a moment, finding himself smiling slightly as she relaxed, chuckled. [i]Gods, she's beautiful[/i]. Quinton blinked. Where had that thought come from? But it was true. Alessea was a beautiful woman, and there was just something about her...Quinton gave a smile, [color=aba000]"Thanks, she's been pestering me for a dog for a while now. I figure a wolf dog would be better suited for us, and they're loyal beasts"[/color] He kept his voice low, delibearely again so that Abigale would hear, and get excited. [color=aba000]"We should head about ourselves, got to finish getting Abigale's school things, so maybe we'll see you in town?"[/color] [centre][b][h1][color=f6989d]Cassie[/color][/h1][/b][/centre] Cassandra glanced about, spying Gage and Syleste coming into the store, she decided not to make a comment like 'oh I thought I saw the car windows steaming up!'. She wouldn't do that to Syleste, nor Gage, as she saw that he seemed...lighter then he had in a long time. She smiled, pleased, and began searching for the Pocky. It didn't take her long, and she spied a cute girl obviously searching for something. Cassandra had been thirteen when her Aunt, perhaps taking pity on her, had sat her down and said, quite simply, that Cassie didn't need to fight who she was. She swung both ways, simply as that. And it had been...once she had had that small acceptance, from her Aunt. So Cassandra appreciated good looking people. And the girl looked a little confused-Maybe she wasn't from around here? Cassandra didn't recognise her, so that seemed likely. She certainly hadn't been in school, and she looked to be around their age. Friendly, and willing to help, Cassandra approached the girl, and smiled, saying [color=f6989d]"Hi, did you need some help?"[/color] reaching just around the girl, she grabbed a couple of boxes of pocky, [color=f6989d]"The store can be a bit confusing if you're not from around here. Are you looking for anything in particularly?"[/color] She asked, putting the pocky in her basket as she looked back to the girl. [@Vicier][@BlackPanther]
