That sure is a big dog you have there !

"Sure." Conrad answered. "I'll get some sleep once the sun goes down too."
He didn't look at the note which she hid away, because he is making an effort to be polite. "You're ordering food for us all the way out here? At this point, I'd go for anything. It's not often we get a proper meal nowadays... Though most of us can cook." he rubbed his stubby chin for a moment, looking out the window. "How about... Pizza? Pizza is damn good."

After some small-talk and discussing what kinds of pizzas are the best, Conrad was quiet for a moment. "We haven't known you for long, but you have been very kind to us. As Gabriel's source of wisdom, I have to ask you however... You confess to loving him already? What's between you two?" he asked, not at all judgemental or inquisitive.

While everyone else was sleeping, Conrad awoke. He slowly snuck out of his room and listened intently around the house. Good. They're asleep. he thought and snuck out. He looked around for Vanessa, but couldn't find her. Sniffing the air, he caught her scent and concluded that she must have gone down the stairs.
Looking around one final time, listening to signs of the others being awake, he left the house. He snuck out into the daylight, and strolled around the grounds.

Once a safe distance away, he stopped and took a deep breath. The fall noon was sunny and bright, and warm enough to get away without wearing a jacket. Conrad's hand made it's way into his shirt collar, and took out a pendant. He eyed it for a moment, then clutched it in his fist. "You would've loved it here, Monica." he spoke absent-mindendly to himself. "Then again, you always said fall was your favourite time of year."
He took a few steps into the woods, and sat down on an old tree-stump. It had a strange sliced mark on it, like a single large claw had broken it apart. But it was probably just a storm that had knocked it down long ago. "I did it for you, Monica." he continued, speaking into the open air, his eyes beginning to tear up. "I did it for us. I thought I could save them." He grabbed the pendant again, holding it tightly before taking a deep, gasping breath. He tucked it away into his shirt again and walked back to the house. Once inside, the others still hadn't woken up. He decided to walk down the stairs to see what Vanessa was doing, if she was still there.
Seeing her sit on a chair by a computer in some sort of office, he knocked on the doorframe to get her attention. "You tried to get some sleep?" he said to her, smiling kindly.

Gabriel yawned. "Sleeping sounds nice. I didn't think you'd prepare a room each for all of us. Your generosity knows no bounds!" he said, snickering. "Show me to the room. Not that I wouldn't mind you running your hands through my hair a little more..." He gave her a friendly wink.
He had stopped thinking about the hunter thing, and had found this place quite comfortable. In time, maybe he would feel at home.
There was something strange about the area, however. Something familiar to him that made him uneasy. Shuddering the thought away, he took Vanessa's hand and gave her a kiss on the cheek before falling asleep in his room.

Gabriel listened intently to the things Vanessa told him. Her father had been a hunter? In this huge house? And the fact that her parents had argued was... Strange. He wasn't yet putting pieces together, as he suspected nothing and he was quite tired so his brain wouldn't do any work, so he just followed Vanessa to the couch and sat down. Calling her beautiful and then saying he felt cheesy, she kissed him. She kissed him tenderly and lovingly. He had never felt this before, any of it. He closed his eyes and kissed back, giving in to his heart. She loved to feel her hands through his hair and her soft lips against his.
His own hands found their way first around her back and then to her waist, holding her in an embrace during the entire time. He didn't ever want to stop.

"Well... I'm a man of my word, so sure, I'll agree to your terms on the counter-condition that it's nothing stupid that will get me hurt or worse! I'm choosing to trust you here." Julius said, trying to sound confident but secretly hoping she wouldn't betray his trust. "You help me out with my weapons training and I'll owe you a favour that you can call upon. Sounds like a deal to me."
He stretched out his right hand, hoping to shake on it. He wasn't a genius so he wasn't good with spotting liars but he tried to look into her eyes as she shook back (if she did) to see if he could spot a lie.

It was 10 AM, and Gabriel softly woke from his sleep by something touching his hand. Opening one eye tiredly to see what it was, he saw Vanessa's hair. He suddenly realized where he was again from the disorientation that sleep brings, and he smiled. With his other hand, he stroked her hair gently. Funny how I barely know anything about this girl. I don't even know how old she is, I don't remember if she told me. he thought and smiled at her again, before closing his eyes and drifting back to sleep again for a moment.

An hour later, they were all up and got into the van. Everyone was excited of course, but still sleepy. Thomas was fighting dozing off in the backseat with Robyn, who were bullying him by flicking his ear as soon as he fell asleep. He never knew what it was that woke him up.
Jaze and Conrad were in the middle row, and were yawning occasionally, looking out the window, peacefully excited about their destination.
Gabriel was in the frontseat with Vanessa, who was driving.
They drove for quite a while, out from the city and into the woods. This region was familiar to Gabriel, but he hadn't been here for a very long time. Not since his turning... His history here made him shudder slightly, but he pushed the thoughts away from his mind. Once they arrived at their destination, they were all stunned. The house was gorgeous, with an enormous property. Everything was modern and felt fresh even though nobody had probably been here for a while. They were all looking around the house and the grounds, exploring the surroundings. It was truly astounding.
It didn't last long however, for after but a few hours the pack was tired again after having spent so many hours awake and so few hours asleep. Vanessa had showed them to the rooms where they could sleep and they had all pretty much fallen asleep directly. Except for Gabriel.

Once the others were sleeping, Gabriel looked at Vanessa and smiled. "I haven't seen them this comfortable in years. It is a truly great thing you've done for us. We'll have to find a way to repay you one day." he said, and wanted to take her hand and hold it but didn't know if that would make him come off too strongly, despite the fact that they had confessed to each other just a few hours ago.
"So this entire property is yours? Your inheritence? You must've had a very rich family... It's quite a drive out here too." he said, making small-talk at first, but after not really knowing how to continue the conversation, he decided to just screw his previous thoughts, and took hold of Vanessa's hand in his own. He looked at her. "You are... Quite beautiful, you know." he said, feeling sort of embarassed for saying such cheesy things... But he wanted to say them. He wanted to speak his mind. He had always been direct, open and honest with his pack, so he wanted to be so with Vanessa too. In time... he thought to himself, She will know the truth. But not yet.
He kept holding her hand, brushed her hair away from her face with his other hand, leaned in and gave her a kiss. Afterwards, he looked at her. "Sorry, am I being too cheesy? I feel like I'm being too cheesy. I bet you think I'm being too cheesy." he said, almost laughing. He sorta wanted her to take the initiative, to see wether or not she wanted to kiss him again... He felt silly for wanting such things, but he kinda just wanted to stand here and kiss her for a moment before he could go back to sleep for an hour or two.

After everyone had taken their places, Gabriel smiled at Vanessa. It was funny how she already had managed to gain some sort of authority among the pack. The 'Streetfangs' they called themselves, but right now they weren't really on the street.
Gabriel covered himself with the blanket he was given and closed his eyes. A few hours of sleep is better than none.

Short post, but don't really know what to write until we get to the house in the woods x)

It was hard work sorting scrap, and even harder coating what seemed like a milion planks with a strange, non-smelling thick liquid. Hopefully however their experiment would work and the substance would make the new cottage more resistant to magic. Also, hopefully no one would test it.
When he was done, he breathed a sigh of relief. Finally introducing himself to Basil, Julius felt like despite going limp, woodworking wasn't so bad.
"Yeah, I'd love to come help out some more. My whole body aches but it was fun!" he said and gave an exhausted smile. "My schedule is full though so I'd have to come by on the weekends, if that's fine with you?"

Afterwards, when leaving the workshop, Julius thought about what class he had next... But then he realized it's weekend now and he didn't have any more classes. Maybe he could... Find Jenny somewhere? Yeah, that'd be cool. He pondered about going to weapon's class to see if anyone would want to practice with him but he shuddered at the thought of getting absolutely beaten down again.

"It's okay I'm not really mad." Gabriel responded to Robyn's apology. He pretended he didn't notice her struggle with hiding the grin.
"Anyway c'mon and let's pack down all the stuff yeah? Yeah?" Thomas said, attempting a terrible pun that hopefully Vanessa wouldn't get. The others just facepalmed. "That wasn't funny, kid." Conrad said, patting Thomas on the head gently. "Let's pack, gang." Said Gabriel "We can sleep when we get there."
When Vanessa gave him a soft kiss on the cheek, Gabriel smiled but didn't say anything. He just looked at her until she disappeared into the bedroom.
Packing was quite fast, although it took a while for them to realize what to pack and where to put everything. They found plastic and paper bags and stuff though, so it was fine.

Long story short, they finished packing through the morning, and when they were done they were all yawning. Gabriel kept glancing at the bedroom door, wondering when Vanessa would wake up but also wondering when he could finally look at her again, now that he had realized she was quite pretty. He snickered to himself at the thought. "Alright guys... Let's hope Vanessa wakes up soon so we can sleep, heh." he said, sitting down on a chair with a sigh.

That sure is a big dog you have there !

Gabriel wasn't expecting this reveal so soon after he had confessed to Vanessa, but as soon as they returned to the apartment Vanessa had told the others straight away. He stuttered as he looked at his friends. "W-well, I, uh... It's, I..." he began, which made Conrad and Jaze (possibly Robyn) laugh so hard they almost fell off the couch. Thomas was mostly just shocked with his jaw hanging. They had never seen Gabriel speechless before, so this was a priceless moment. "That takes the cake!" exclaimed Conrad, who had to lean on Jaze not to die of laughter. Jaze himself was chuckling. Gabriel felt incredibly embarassed, but felt like he had to retake control of the situation. "First of all, Robyn!" Gabriel said, speaking with authority, "Don't call me boss, alright? I may be your 'leader' but I'm not your boss. And secondly you just had to make that joke didn't you?" He stared her down with a stern gaze, but his flushed face made it hard to take him seriously so Robyn mostly tried to fight off a grin. "Third, yes I have grown quite... Attached..." he said, unsure what words to use and looked at Vanessa "To her. It's... Normal. Right? She did save me from the up-town pack's goons. Sorta."
