[ ✉ ↠ Cullen Rains ] It’s my pleasure.

[text]: How about Tuesday night? Would that work for you? We can get a good sunset then. The weather looks clear.

[ ✉ ↠ Cullen Rains ] Excellent. Why don’t you let me know which day you prefer and I’ll make sure to set the time aside. There are some cliffs not far that look quite magnificent in the light of the setting sun. Though we could always head closer to campus, if you’d rather be nearer to people.

[text]: Yes of course! I would love going anywhere with you! Thank you so much, Sam! I don’t know how I can thank you enough :)

Candid || Cullen & James

It was almost dawn. James could feel it in his flesh and bones, his mind was clearer, less animal, but he still had time for a run. His paws flashed toward until he stopped. All his muscles stopped as he turned his snout and looked at them: Cullen. He knew them, but nevertheless he was still a wolf and he did not want to scare them away. He lowered his snout to not alarm him, but he noticed the camera. Oh.. well… they were not that scared after all if in front of a wolf.. James thought that he had to teach them to be more careful, but still he scampered slowly toward them, almost touching the lenses of the camera with his nose and looked deeply in their eyes. 

He was slightly bigger than the normal wolves and yet.. he did not want to warn them or alarm them. He sat down in front of them, quiet, calm, before he howled at the moon, as a form of hello, before he went back looking into their eyes with incredible intensity. 

Cullen should be more careful-- they knew they should be. Often the call of their camera and what was outside was too much to ignore and they threw caution to the wind. Now they found them face to face with a wolf that was getting closer and closer. Cullen should be scared, but something about the way the wolf acted made it so they weren’t. The wolf was gorgeous-- more gorgeous than any other wolf they’d seen before.

When the wolf nudged their lense, Cullen grinned broadly. Amused slightly by its behavior. “You are beautiful.” Cullen spoke softly, in awe. At the howl, Cullen was even more happy. They let out their own howl, a soft sound, and not nearly as close to what the other wolf did. “Well... I tried?”

Candid || Cullen & James

@wolfxstorm

Cullen was getting much more confident now. The safety of Sam’s watchful eye making them feel more at ease with the little walks they would take. Cullen never liked to venture too far from the house, but they liked to go out and see what they could capture with their camera. From the local plant life to small bugs and animals that didn’t flee when Cullen first approached. They were wearing loose fitting clothes and canvas shoes, hoping that all the items minimized the sound they made as they walked.

Cullen had stopped suddenly when they thought they heard something and dropped to their knees. Their camera was quickly brought out when they spied fur, their heart speeding up in excitement. When they spotted the wolf, Cullen didn’t hesitate. They brought the camera up quickly in an attempt to capture whatever candid photos of the creature as they could.

Sunrises | Ethan & OPEN

Ethan felt the picture before it even happened. The camera was telling him it was happening, he could almost see it in the code in his mind, and the Professor sighed. As the other approached, Ethan ran his hand around the coffee cup, lifting it to his lips to take a sip, and then looked up towards Cullen. 

“You get a good shot? You know it’s a bit rude to take someone’s photo without their permission, and I assure you I’d happily give the permission if you asked for it, but now I have to know… why?”

He then pointed to Cullen’s camera, “Before you ask, your camera told me what was up, so don’t try and deny it.”

Cullen felt the blood drain from their face, they had known it was a bad idea after all, they’d just let it get away from them before they could stop themself. They swallowed roughly and tucked their head down slightly, wishing they could much more easily explain why they had done it. They supposed it was a stupid reason.

“I was just...” They swallowed as they looked up for a moment, feeling the blush rush to their cheeks. “I didn’t want to disturb how you were... Once people know-- they change. Their stance changes. They become tense.”

They flipped the camera around so the man could see the photo, “I was going to ask if you’d like me to delete it, sir.” They bit their lower lip for a moment before shrugging. “I would be happy to if you don’t want me to keep it... But I would be honored if I could use it for my class.”

“I think Horse sounds perfect, actually,” Damien said with a light smile, nodding. “I haven’t played in ages.” He dribbled the ball briefly, as he made his way towards the basket. 

“Horse it is.” They grinned, happy that a stranger had decided that they would like to play with them. “Me either.” They nodded their head, walking closer to the man while they waited for them to make their first shot. “You’re probably better than me though.”

Beating the Heat Colton/Cullen

“To the waterfall we go then,” Colton said as he wrapped an arm around the other, resting his hand on Cullen’s hip. “Have you been to the waterfall yet?” he asked. 

Cullen hadn’t allowed anyone other than Sam or Benjie to touch them in month, and feeling another hand on them was strange. Though they didn’t shy away, allowing themself to relax a little bit. “No-- Not yet, I don’t like exploring by myself, sir.”

@cullenrains continued from here.

[ ✉ ↠ Cullen Rains ] Quoth is quite wise, on occasion. I suspect he’s more worried than he is irritated. He does share a soul with Benjamin, after all.

[ ✉ ↠ Cullen Rains ] Most of my evening are free this week. And I don’t believe I have anything particular planned for the weekend. Would any of those times work for you?

[cullenrains]

[text]: He is wise-- and I adore him and his other half.

[text]: A good hike around sunset would be nice, and I don’t usually get out of that time-- so it’d probably be good for me.

[cullenrains]

jamescromwell‌:

“Oohh..maybe.” That was something he hadn’t thought of yet, and he wondered why he hadn’t before. “I was thinking a tiny dragon of some kind.”

“They are good to have from what I understand--” Cullen honestly wished they could have one themself, but being a human left their options far more limited. “A dragon would be cool-- You aren’t scared of it blowing fire at you or something?” They laughed slightly.

“Haven’t decided yet. Maybe something exotic.” James comments with a shrug as he leaned against the wall, crossing his leg at his ankle. “Opinions?”

Cullen shrugged their shoulders, “Is it going to be a familiar?” They asked, unsure if the man was looking for something like Quoth or not. “Maybe some sort of lizard?” They smiled.

[feallende]

[text]: Would you be willing to come with me on a hike? I don't feel comfortable going on my own yet... It's okay if you don't. (Cullen)

[ ✉ ↠ Cullen Rains ] Of course, Cullen. I’d be happy to join you. 

[ ✉ ↠ Cullen Rains ] When and where did you wish to go?

@cullenrains​

[cullenrains]

[text]: Whenever you have time. [text]: I just want to do a little exploring of the island. Quoth seems to be irritated at the amount of time I’m spending in my room too... so...

[jamescromwell]

“I never really liked the idea of a pet on the run, do you think they’d allow them here?” The English lad asks while cocking a brow. ‘I mean…not the kinky kind this time..”

[cullenrains]

Cullen looked at the man and furrowed their brow, “I uh.... I honestly don’t know. What kind of pet?”

[keynvor-blog]

“Keith’s resting right now, you might want to come back later. I’ve got this.”

[cullenrains]

“...I just... I brought you some dinner.”
