[sup][b]Interacting With:[/b] Each Other.[/sup][/center] [hr][hr] Having [s]survived[/s] met Kaylee’s parents, who were lovely people really, Connor was nevertheless grateful that they had left them alone, to their own devices, which involved breakfast. Connor enjoyed the simple fact that it wasn’t food over a campfire. For a time, Connor was silent, as he thought things through, before he finally said [color=limegreen]”So, um, that seemed to go well”[/color] Of course, he didn’t really have anything else to compare it to, but that didn’t seem to matter. It seemed like it would be a good chance to...figure things out, even if Kaylee didn’t know much more than he did. The night had been...strange, to say the least, and enlightening at the same time. Connor wasn’t entirely sure on everything, and it was still, even now, a conflict against what was logical...shape shifting just wasn’t possible, or so physics told them. And yet, there was no denying experience. And so...it meant that the wolf attack...his father’s death, wasn’t normal. Not that it had been at the time, and the conformation did nothing to help. [color=limegreen]”I’m still trying to understand everything…”[/color] He said after a few moments, looking to Kaylee. Twisting around in her seat, Kaylee reached out towards him, gently taking his hand in her own as she gave him a soft squeeze of encouragement. Last night had been… hectic to say the least; for all of them. For her friends… for Connor… So much had happened, and in such a short amount of time too. It didn’t matter that it had been a mixture of both good and bad; she just wanted to be there for him… to show him that she was going to be there for him… [color=6F81D1]“..I know…”[/color] Biting her lower lip softly, she held his gaze, losing herself within those beautiful… beautiful blue eyes that she had so quickly fallen ever deeply in love with. She didn’t care what life had to throw at them… as long as she had him by her side, there was nothing she couldn’t do, [color=6F81D1]“..last night was just… crazy, wasn’t it..? And, I know it might sound bad, but… I’m kinda glad it happened… I got to meet you because of all this...”[/color] Connor curled his fingers around Kaylee’s, he didn’t look away, taking comfort from her presence, and closeness, and listened to her as she spoke, he nodded at her words. That, he could understand, [color=limegreen]”I don’t regret that at all…”[/color] he said, his voice filled with emotion, [color=limegreen]”And I think they’d have to invent a new word for “Crazy” for what last night was.”[/color] He said, smiling slightly [color=limegreen]”There’s just so much...that even now doesn’t make sense. I...how does this happen? Everything?”[/color] How..? The question was so vague, and honestly, he could be asking about anything from how supernaturals even existed, to how a were-creature was created at all… Frowning slightly, Kaylee let her dark gaze fall to rest upon their hands for a few moments, allowing herself a moment before she began to speak, [color=6F81D1]“..how..? I, uh… I’m gunna need you to be just a bit more specific, babe…”[/color] Babe? That was a new one on Connor, and he blinked, a little surprised. He could, quite honestly say, he never expected anyone to call him that, light pink staining his cheeks in a blush, [color=limegreen]”Um..”[/color] he tried to align his thoughts, [color=limegreen]”How...does...becoming this happen? Does it have to be an attack?”[/color] [color=6F81D1]“Oh..! Oh… nah. Nah, it doesn’t always have to be an attack.”[/color] Unable to help the small smile that played over her lips at the thought of being able to speak openly with him about this, Kaylee lifted her gaze to once more meet with his, her head lightly shaking from side to side as she answered his question. As far as what she had seen, coupled with everything she had been taught back home, it was a more common occurrence for alphas to attack in order to gain more power for their pack here than it was in most other places. [color=6F81D1]“From what I know, and what I’ve seen so far… that’s more of a wolf thing. An alpha will do it to try and gain more power, usually out of greed, or to challenge another alpha for territory.”[/color] Scrunching up her face, she let out a sigh, lightly shrugging her shoulders as she tried her best not to think of the reasons that someone would want to purposely go out, and hurt other for… it was just sick, and completely barbaric, [color=6F81D1]“Back home, this sort of stuff rarely ever happens- and I mean rarely. There hasn’t been a case like this in over sixty years. We might be similar, but we’re actually pretty different, especially in the aspect of creating new weres.”[/color] Connor thought on that for a moment, [color=limegreen]”How is it done then, for you?”[/color] he asked, wondering why things could be so different. Perhaps it was simply… how things were. [color=limegreen]”It just seems… well, the whole lot is weird, but still”[/color] He gave a small chuckle, [color=limegreen]”And… what does… becoming a were creature… do to you?’[/color] How did they do it for her..? Well, at least he was being more specific this time round with his questions. Her smile never wavering, Kaylee tilted her head lightly to the side, a thoughtful expression flickering over her features as she let her mind wander back to when she had been given the opportunity to join the world they were now apart of. [color=6F81D1]“Well… my family has always been close to my old pack. People with bonds like that; when we turn fourteen, we get approached by the alpha, and they give us the opportunity to join the pack. It’s a choice… one that we get to make ourselves.”[/color] Seeming to pull herself back to the present, Kaylee’s smile grew, lighting up her face as she leant forward in her seat, her pancake breakfast all but forgotten as the conversation went on, [color=6F81D1]“If we choose to remain human; the offer is left open, giving us the chance to change our minds later on in life. Now, if we say yes… there’s this really beautiful ceremony we go through; each pack has their own place that they perform it, ours was out in a clearing in the bush.”[/color] Shaking her head lightly from side to side, she chuckled, pushing the memories back as she once more let her full attention fall on him, [color=6F81D1]“The ceremony is where initiates get the bite. The whole pack attends, and once the ceremony is finished, then we all head back to the pack’s house and party the rest of the night. Uhm… as for what being one of us does to you… well, we become a lot stronger, a lot faster… we don’t get sick anymore, aside from the rare certain circumstances. We can hear better, jump higher, take the pain from others- drink without actually getting drunk… the only thing that doesn’t come with it, is discipline… control… especially on a full moon…. that we have to learn that ourselves.”[/color] Listening as she spoke, it did seem to be a better way, at least compared to what happened to him. To the teenagers that he still didn’t really know the names off. Connor wasn’t naive enough to think it was like that everywhere, although it was nice to think about. As she told him about the… he supposed they’d be perks, he cast his thoughts back over the last two months, he couldn’t truly say he’d noticed anything different, then again memories weren’t the best for that kind of thing. But… [color=limegreen]”Control…”[/color] Connor frowned, [color=limegreen]”As far as I recall, I didn’t seem out of control these last few months… “[/color] he trailed off, thoughtful. Perhaps it had something to do with the lack in other human contact. Connor doubted he’d know. Giving a small shake of his head, he tried to think on anything else, [color=limegreen]”and...What… “[/color] Connor wasn’t entirely too sure how to phrase what he wanted, and he paused a moment, trying to think what words to use [color=limegreen]”What about this, us?”[/color] That question-... okay, that question was definitely a little harder to answer than the others. It wasn’t like she didn’t know what was happening; on the contrary, she knew exactly what this was going on between them. It was just something that was difficult to explain, [color=6F81D1]“..well… that’s a little harder to explain…”[/color] Pausing for a moment, Kaylee let her mind wander, a single hand breaking away from his so she could lightly brush some stray strands of hair off her face, neatly tucking them back behind her ear as she tried to think about just how to go about explaining what had happened between them. This... was not going to be an easy to do, [color=6F81D1]“..it’s called ‘imprinting’... it’s something that happens to our kind, but it’s a very rare occurrence. It’s when we find our other half; our one true mate. The one person we’re destined to spend the rest of our lives with… according to my old alpha, when you find your mate… it’s like nothing else matters; like they’re the only one keeping you there… and you would do anything for them- be anything for them…”[/color] Dropping her head down, she let her hand return once more to his, her thumb lightly brushing over the back of his hand, [color=6F81D1]“..it’s a lot like love, only… so much stronger…”[/color] Keeping his gaze on Kaylee, Connor watched her movements, while she tried to figure out how to answer his question. Which seemed hard to do. For a few moments, Connor wondered if it was simply something that you just… knew. Imprinting… Connor contemplated her words, and found that they resonated within him. He tried to truly understand it, yet it didn’t seem to be something that could be put into words… which was probably why Kaylee couldn’t truly describe it. Now though, he had a name for it. And names were important. He reached over, seeking to meet her gaze once more, [color=limegreen]”Kaylee…”[/color] he said softly, then hesitated, not sure if he should continue or not, the only plans that Connor now had was to make sure he could be close to Kaylee, [color=limegreen]”What does it mean for us? How… I don’t want to be away from you”[/color] What did that mean for them..? The question caught her off guard. She knew that she wanted to be with him- to spend the rest of her life by his side… but she hadn’t actually sat down, and taken the time to think about what that meant for them, [color=6F81D1]“..well… what do you wanna do..? I don’t want to be away from you either…”[/color] Connor went over options quickly, or he tried to. There weren’t that many, really... [color=limegreen]”Well… Since i’m going to be staying… It looks like I’ll need a place, and… “[/color] Connor trailed off, not uncertain, rather he had a feeling of apprehension , [color=limegreen]”and I don’t want it to be just mine”[/color] Was he..? Her soft pink lips parting ever so slightly from one another, Kaylee continued to hold his gaze, her dark eyes seeming to search his to see whether or not he was messing around. He wanted to stay- no, he was going to stay, but in order for him to do that, he needed a place to stay… a place for him to call home. [color=6F81D1]“..are you-...”[/color] Pausing a moment, she bit down softly upon her lower lip, a small smile playing lightly over her lips as she tried to discern exactly what it was he was saying to her, [color=6F81D1]“..are you saying..?”[/color] [color=limegreen]”Yes, well... if you think I’m saying I want to live with you”[/color] Connor replied, giving her a smile, he didn’t look away, quite serious, and no longer concerned that he’d say something wrong, he felt, well, a little confident now. [color=limegreen]”I mean, if you want to... “[/color] Okay, maybe not confident. Unable to look away from those beautiful blue eyes, Kaylee’s smile grew, her head nodding lightly up and down in answer. He wanted to live with her… and he was asking whether or not she wanted to live with him too. Leaning forward in her seat, she tilted her head lightly to the side, her lips pressing lightly against his own in a gentle kiss before she broke away from him, the tip of her nose brushing against his before finally, she sat up straight once more, [color=6F81D1]“..yeah- I mean, of course I want to.”[/color] Connor smiled warmly, he was quite thrilled, even if there was no place yet, it was still… exciting. He reached over when she moved back, taking her hand in his, [color=limegreen]”That means we have to find a place”[/color] He said thoughtfully, not that he’d been in Klamath Falls much, so far he’d only entered a grocery store and the hospital. He hadn’t planned on being there for more than few days, and now… [color=limegreen]”Maybe we could ask around”[/color] [color=6F81D1]“Definitely..! But…”[/color] Her smile fading slightly, Kaylee dropped her attention down to their hands, her body shifting slightly over the seat that she was using. They were just teenagers… sure she could help her mum out at the bookstore, but, neither of them had money… and though she didn’t know about him, she was still just a high school student… something she was meant to be starting in five days time. [color=6F81D1]“..can we really afford it right now..? I don’t know about you, but I don’t have a job; I’m meant to be starting at my new school on Monday too.”[/color] Pausing a moment, she lifted her gaze back up to him, worry and curiosity flickering across her iris’ as she thought on what it was they were going to do if they went through with their plan to move in together. Connor felt foolish, he hadn’t had any seconds thoughts about spending money on a place… it hadn’t occurred to him that it would be a problem… He started to speak, a little sheepishly, [color=limegreen]”Um. I have some money”[/color] It was more then some, but Connor didn’t have access to all of it. [color=limegreen]”My parents wanted to make sure if something happened, I’d be okay”[/color] Or his father, rather. His mother had died when he was young. For a brief moment, he thought he should go over the paperwork. [color=limegreen]”So, we don’t have to worry about that… As for school, we could find a place nearby, if you want“[/color] Connor didn’t have school, he’d deferred his first year in college, although he wondered now if he could enroll in school in Klamath Falls. [color=limegreen]”If you wanted to wait, we can”[/color] [color=6F81D1]“..really..? You would do that for me..?”[/color] He was being so sweet… so considerate… God, she loved him. Her smile once more returning to her lips, Kaylee shook her head lightly from side to side, gently squeezing his hand in encouragement, doing her best to remind him that she was there… that she was going to support him in anything that he wanted to do, [color=6F81D1]“..I wanna move in together; I wanna live with you, but… I don’t want you to think I’m relying on you for everything, especially money…”[/color] Her leg slipping from underneath her, she hesitated a moment before standing up, her body turning as she instead chose to sit on his lap, a gentle blush crossing over her cheeks as she lifted her arms, wrapping them one by one around the back of his neck, [color=6F81D1]“If you want to do this… then let’s do it. There’s nothing I want more than to be with you; and I know my parents will have nothing against us moving in together. I just-... I just wanna know that it’s okay… that you won’t think that way about me…”[/color] Connor immediately wrapped his arms around her, and smiled, shaking his head. [color=limegreen]“I don't think that way about you. I want to do it, because… I want a home with you”[/color] he said. [color=limegreen]“I could never think that about you… besides, you've proven you can take care of yourself”[/color] he pointed out, [color=limegreen]“and… the money may as well be used, then sitting about, especially if it means we are together”[/color] he smiled, and kissed her, [color=limegreen]“that makes it more then okay”[/color] Unable to hide the small dimples that showed as her smile seemed to grow just slightly, she leant her body further into his, a single arm breaking away from behind her neck so that her hand could instead rest lightly over his chest. Even with everything they had on their plates… the fact that neither of them had a job; he still wanted to live with her. Every moment they spent together, she was just falling further and further in love… [color=6F81D1]“..okay then… let’s move in together.”[/color]
