1st Howl: Arriving: (Accidental Video)

[coyote_walking]

A woman appeared beside the fountain, kneeling down as if in the process of picking something up.

Medea?

She looked around in some confusion.

What the hell?

Samuel?

Anyone?

She turned in a circle, cautiously scenting the wind.

This is no place I'm familiar with.

Where the hell am I?

[Only two kisses? But...

Kyle frowned.]

Mercy, what was going on with the pack when you were brought here? The last thing that happened.

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

What do you mean?

[She frowned back.]

We rescued Jesse from the witch and the evil drug lord, remember? The guy who was making kids into werewolves and experimenting on them? I just got the cast off my arm this morning.

[justashow.livejournal.com]

[Kyle sucked in a breath.]

Of course. Yes, I remember that.

[He would have to be careful not to give away the future in that case.]

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

It has been a long time for you, I guess.

[She looked a little uncertain, but maybe the city played tricks with people's memories, too.]

[justashow.livejournal.com]

It has.

[Kyle was silent for a long while, putting his thoughts in order.]

Warren and I...he showed me himself. After he came home, he showed me.

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

[Her eyes widened.]

You know about him? He... he was so afraid to tell you. He wasn't allowed to tell you.

[justashow.livejournal.com]

So you said when you showed me yourself.

[Kyle smiled a little.]

But he did.

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

[She swallowed hard]

I... don't remember any of this, Kyle.

[justashow.livejournal.com]

You don't?

[ooc: She's after the end of Moon Called, isn't she?]

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

No, I mean, yes. I'm all mixed up today, Kyle. I know you guys were trying to work things out.


[Sorry, sorry! I was thinking that reveal was in Blood Bound.

[justashow.livejournal.com]

You've had a busy day, it's understandable.

Maybe more information should wait until you've had a good night's sleep.

[ooc: It's okay! I had to go check my book too. XD]

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

Sorry, yeah.

But... you may want to rethink your offer of a place to stay.

I... am such a fool.

[She shook her head, feeling utterly miserable.]

That vampire I told you about? I think he's hunting me. And he can move in daylight.

[justashow.livejournal.com]

[Kyle's face grew stern and serious as he shook his head.]

That just means you need to come with me. No vampires can get inside the beach house, the place is well protected.

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

[She couldn't help the look of relief.]

If you're sure then. I think I'm about ready to collapse.

Any chance of a cup of hot chocolate at this beach house?

[justashow.livejournal.com]

There's a good chance of instant, but if you want a real cup of hot chocolate I think you'll have to wait until Ianto replenishes our chocolate bar supply.

[The beach house was in sight now.]

Home sweet home.

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

Right about now I think I'd take a brown crayon melted in hot water.

[Her eyes widened.]

It's gorgeous.

Heh. Don't know why I thought it would be anything else!

[justashow.livejournal.com]

Ugh, I can do better than waxy water, Mercy.

[He preens a little, even though Jack built the house.]

It is, isn't it? Wait until you see the inside.

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

[She smiled at him.]

I'm counting on it.

[She leaned into him a little.]

You have no idea how glad I am that you're here.

[justashow.livejournal.com]

I think the feeling's mutual.

[Hooking an arm around her shoulders he led her to the door.]

Now, it's up to you: would you rather just go to a room and conk out with something hot to drink and then deal with meeting people tomorrow or do you want to go say hello now? We can do both, I have a private entrance if you just want bypass everybody.

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

[She hesitated, considering.]

Maybe now? That way it won't be quite as awkward if I run into someone in the morning?

[justashow.livejournal.com]

It wouldn't be that awkward.

[Kyle smiled back and nodded.]

Then we'll go in the front way and meet whoever's around.

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

[She let out a deep breath.]

Anything I should know before we go in?

[justashow.livejournal.com]

Just that these are good people.

[He unlocked the door with his key and showed her inside.]

You'll be fine.

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

[She stopped him, putting a hand on his shoulder.]

Kyle, what makes you think, even for a second, that I wouldn't know anyone you chose to be with would be good people?

[justashow.livejournal.com]

You've only known me with Warren.

[Kyle reached up to pat the fingers on his shoulder softly.]

But you're right. You and he have both raised the bar for me considerably.
