Oliver furrowed his brow feeling somewhat offended. “Um no? Why the hell would I plan on being as introverted as you?” He sighed feeling himself getting real tired of the term ‘you’ll understand when you are older’ being used on him is he was still three. “Sorry, but I don’t choose to look at the world as insufferably intolerable as you. If I live to be as old as you I would hope not to be such an introverted asshole who’d rather live alone than live at all.” 

Kelly gave an exaggerated roll of his eyes at Oliver’s statement, “Well I never said anyone planned on being anything. It’s just how life happens, it doesn’t hold the punches of death and being crippled for life.” It’s now in his own home that the doctor became even more  pessimistic and cynical. “And you can trust me, the only way someone who doesn’t have things well off can live to be this old is by not seeing things through rose colored glasses. If you don’t want to live alone when you’re older don’t burn your bridges and make friends who aren’t going to die in a few years.”

“Yeah that would be difficult.” She pressed her lips into a flat line and nodded her head slowly as she absorbed this man’s story. “That’s kind of cool that you have two different pack stories though. And it’s cool that you’ve had the opportunity to move to a different country.” Talking to people with more experience in life than her were always so fascinating. “What country were you in, or what country did you move to?”

Well crap, he had just let that on out, didn’t he? Okay well, this girl probably wasn’t going to call him a leprechaun or anything. He was probably just being too sensitive about the whole deal, anyways. “I used to live in Ireland before I came to the US, kind of lost the accent by now, though. When you get to live double the normal human lifespan you get time to so those types of things. It’s best you find someone to spend that time with, being all on your lonesome is pretty overrated.”

“Hey you never know. Some people have…” He looked over the elder gentleman with a supple smirk. “their kinks.” He went back to the screen not even blinking before scanning through the other possible dates for Kelly. “Hey we all gotta find love some where am I right?” The pup stated with a soft smile. “Are you really that opposed to possibly finding someone? Like not even to be with, but like a companion or something? I dunno about you but when I get to be your age I don’t want to be lonely that long.”

Kelly’s face scrunched up in complete bafflement before he let out a snort of laughter. This kid was going to be the death of him. “Yes, and I’m sure when you get to be my age you’ll have the same opinions and outlook on life. I don’t want to pull out the ol’ father phrase but you’ll probably understand when you get older. When you’re as introverted as I you don’t feel as compelled to find companionship with someone you barely know and are likely more intelligent than.”

In this environment the demon could detox form their current stresses from managing the night club and other pressing manors. Letting out a breath of fresh mountain air they roamed the forest floor in search of the abandoned house that his dear friend asked of them to search for. Normally they didn’t even consider taking task that hadn’t benefit them in any way shape or form, but since it was Amelia asking how could they say no? 

Making their round something stopped him. A figure standing alone in the distance. Approaching the demon didn’t feel the need to mask his presence. “Well don’t you look like a rather lonely soul.” A smirked played on his lips. “What’s someone like you doing in the big bad woods all alone?”

As cliche as it sounded, Kelly always felt most comfortable in the wild and, more recently, all alone. He had been so wrapped up in integrating into the new community that he hadn’t had much time to himself. It also seemed as though he wouldn’t have much alone time today either.

The doctor bristled upon learning he wasn’t alone. The tone and expression of this stranger didn’t make him too relaxed either. He was on guard now, tense and gripping tightly onto his cane. “Last I heard these woods were public. Sometimes ‘lonely souls’ like to spend time among nature.”

“Why did you end up leaving your first pack?” She raised her brows and asked with heavy confusion. She always thought packs were a for life kind of thing. At least that’s what it always seemed like. “And what happened to the second?”

“I moved out of the country.” Kelly stated simply, “For unrelated reasons. Times were changing and it was my time to move on.” He gave a self-assuring nod at that; not much else to say. At least not that he’d let Kira know. “Second fell apart somewhat. Just wasn’t too well organised, I presume. Either way I wouldn’t have been able to remain a part of that one since I’ve had to move here recently. Packs don’t really work well long-distance.”

kira-park:

She bit her lip and listened to his explanation. It made sense. She wanted more information. “Well…” She shrugged her shoulders, body swaying back and forth on her heels. “What was your pack like? Was it a big one. Or was it small? Were you an alpha, er, are you an alpha?” All the questions that started to pool all poured out. 

“My first pack was decently large but my second was rather small.” Kelly thought a moment before continuing with his next answer slowly, “I haven’t lead a pack before, no. That’s actually one thing I don’t know much about, being an alpha. When I was around other wolves for the first time the group was so big, it was kind of intimidating since I didn't really have the experience. And the second time I was rather, eh, occupied with my own life. I didn’t really put in as much effort. This probably just means I’m not an alpha, since I’ve never strongly felt the need to lead a whole pack.”

Oliver typed away on the keyboard with eyes not once leaving the screen. After finishing the simple information added with a little fluff the pup dramatically twirled his index finger pressing enter to up load his pal’s information online. “Alrighty! Now we have to see who all matches you and you can start a chat with them or something.” He smirked looking back up to Kelly. “We should get a picture of you too, but we can worry about that later.” He mention just before the site chimed notifications of some interested participants. “Ooooh look at you mister popular.” He laughed nudging his side. “Who do you wanna talk to first? Oh this lovely lady is a vet! That might could work.”

“Yes, because old and unshaven will pull in all the beautiful young ladies.” Kelly quipped, idly tapping the end of his cane on the ground. Yes, this was surely what he needed, someone to track him through the internet and kill him while he slept. “Oh, yes a vet.” The doctor said, putting on a higher pitch into his voice. “All I need is a pretentious kiddo with grandpa’s retirement fund and daddy issues.” He really wasn’t making this easy for Oliver. At this point it was practically instinct for him to belittle everything and everyone.

Recuperation || Self Para

Time: 1915 - Julian Kelly was 21

It was the first time in days that Julian had left the warm comfort of his cottage. After a week of his dear wife worrying over him and the physician serving him remedies for his pain he was allowed to go around on his own. By now it wasn’t so much the pain that caused him issues but rather getting used to walking with his newly crippled leg.

The man insisted he go on his own. Julian’s wife had her own things to worry about, after all. She had to take care of their home and stay safe, for she would be having their child soon. Julian’s point was only driven in further when he mentioned how she hadn’t been feeling her best for the past day or so. So here he was now, clutching tightly onto the sturdy, oak shepherds crook and carefully making his way along his usual rout.

The sweet sent of lavender wafted to him through the sweet spring breeze and the puffy clouds lazily making their way across the sky made him feel relaxed in his vulnerable state. As he made his way down the dirt road he could hear the sounds of his flock awakening, the soft bleating of the lambs and snapping of twigs as they meandered through their field. Surely they had missed him in his absence. He had missed them. They were like a group of understanding friends who didn’t really talk back.

After approaching his flock he soon sat right down on a stump, utterly tired out by his admittedly short trek. As Julian rested his sheep began to loosely crowd around him. Some came to nibble at the fresh grass around his feet and others sniffed at the scent carried on his ragged clothing. He reached out to pat some of his dear sheep, noting of the thickness of their wool. It wouldn’t be long before it’d be time to sheer them. 

Even with Julian’s dear friends about him Julian still felt paranoia bubble up into his chest. The grip on his crook tightened as he glanced over his shoulder before he scanned the horizons. The beast that had attacked him left a scar both physically and mentally. It looked like a wolf but there had been something definitely wrong about it. Well. If he wanted to be a stronger father he’d have to overcome his difficulties with courage and strength.

Hopefully soon Julian would be able to get around without a problem and become an astounding father.

“Well, that’s the first time I’ve ever heard that.” Usually, no one ever gave her much of a chance. She knew she was very intimidating, it was something she embraced, and she wouldn’t allow herself to let her guard completely down. “Oh, that’s fascinating. That was brave of you to go and be a physician during that time. Very honorable,” she said with a grin. “I’m so sorry for your loss…I know what it’s like to lose someone close to you. I’m sure that person would be very proud of you.”

“I’m sure she was.” Kelly said, affirming her point. “That’s the best way to look at things, at least.” The doctor abruptly shot up straight on his stool when his phone began ringing and vibrating in his pocket. After fishing his phone out and squinting at the words dancing on the screen he snatched up his cane and scooted off of his stool. “Gotta run, emergency back at the hospital. Was a pleasure to meet you, Josephine.”

olivercarson:

“Uh. No comment.” The young pup added before shifting in his seat a little uncomfortably. “Besides we aren’t talking about me here. Even if you are asocial and crippled I’m sure we can find your truly devoted out there somewhere.” He popped up out of his seat with an idea. “Please tell me you got a laptop or a desktop around this place.” He glanced around before noticing the computer desk just across from them. “Ah ha!” He rushed to the computer pulling up the quickest dating website google could find. “Ooh huuu okay. Lets try this shall we? Okay I need your full name, date of birth, uh your favorite color, food, and books etc.” He asked as be began to furiously type away on his name at least.

“I’m old, not dumb.” Kelly quipped at Oliver in regards to his possession of a computer. When the pup actually went through with finding a dating site and starting up a profile Kelly was actually surprised. He tilted his head back and gave out the most annoying and childish groan before giving in, “Julian H. Kelly, December 21st, Jade, Beef Wellington, and Grief Lessons: Four Plays by Euripides” The doctor spotted out all the words quickly, practically all in a single breath.

Josephine shrugged her shoulders. “I had to find something to do with myself here. I do actually like being able to help people. I’m not as bad as everyone makes me out to be.”  She was more misunderstood than anything. She hadn’t always been cold and callous, something of course happened to make her that way. Her curiosity only grew as she kept talking to him. She found herself very intrigued.“How did you decide to become a doctor? Was it something you always wanted to do?” 

“I can see that,” Kelly admitted, with a nod. It was a true statement. First impressions of Josephine had made Kelly on edge but now that they had chatted for a while she was quite a nice lady; a lot less cold-blooded than he had assumed her to be before. .”I moved to the states around when the first world war was happening, so doctors were pretty important around that time. Since I couldn’t go fight or do heavy work due to my disability I thought being a physician would do good.” The doctor paused a moment then gave a tiny sigh, “And I lost someone dear to me to a sickness. At the time I thought I’d keep others from experiencing heartache by becoming a doctor. ”

Kira bit her lip and nodded, he made a fair point. And who’s opinion could trump an experienced wolf in the matter anyways? Kira started to think that maybe she shouldn’t have let herself get so swayed by others- no matter how ironic it was that her opinion was re-swayed by the opinion of other, but she didn’t think too much on it. “Maybe you’re right.” She nodded her head slowly. “I might see what I can do for reaching out. Are you in a pack?” She asked curiously, not bothering to hide her curiousness at all.

“Well- no.” Kelly grimaced and took a moment to contemplate his explanation. He didn’t want to seem like he had some sort of double-standard, after all .”Not now. I was before but with the whole moving here and all, I haven’t really had the opportunity to reach out to a pack around here. Either way I've already had the experience I need at this point, which has really helped me adjust to the whole werewolf part of my life.” Maybe that was just a tad close to a white lie. He wasn’t exactly going out of his way to join a pack soon. But that doesn’t mean he couldn’t help this pup find her way in the future.

msjreneaux:

Josephine saw immortality as a curse, and it was torture to watch those around you grow old and die. That was part of the reason why she never allowed herself to grow attached to anyone. She envied him, that he wasn’t stuck forever. “You are? Props to you for being a doctor, I could never do it.” She took another drag of her cigarette. “No, unfortunately, I do not live off a hoard of gold. Although, I was a duchess in my day.” Her royal lineage was something she always took pride in. “I work at the hospital as well, actually. I’m a psychiatrist, so that’s probably why our paths never crossed.” 

Kelly gave a hum of acknowledgement and a simple nod. Wow, she really did have some blue blood in her. He was usually somewhat proud with his roots as a shepherd, but maybe he didn’t want to just put that right out there now. Avoiding possible classicism was something Kelly just instinctively began to do, purposely or not. “Psychiatrist, I couldn’t do it. I love puzzles and all but that’s a little too much for my tastes. Dealing with people that much would make me tear my hair out by the end of the day.”

kira-park:

“I guess.” She chuckled and nodded her head a bit nervously. She was honestly really kind of terrified to join a pack, but her curiosity pushed her still. Everyone had been warning her not to even consider it. Her mother, Kita, and Oliver being the biggest no-pack advocates. “It’s worth thinking about. Finding a pack that would want to take me in feels like it’d be hard though.”

“You’d be surprise. Wolves tend to be rather welcoming in my experience. Not that I can speak for the people around here.” Kelly hadn’t had time to check out any packs around here, work and moving in had eaten up all his time. Things certainly changed over time, so why wouldn’t that apply to packs as well? Who knows, people these days might not be as welcoming as before. “You can’t learn if you don’t try new experiences. Though it can be scary you should still reach out. Best to try now than never at all.”

olivercarson:

“I be surprised by how many find you with an attitude like yours.” The young pup laughed as he teased the old man. “Oh come on who says you have to slave in the kitchen for hours? Plus I don’t think that a microwave can cook a whole turkey.” He smirked enjoying to give the old man a hard time. “Well if you are looking for ladies around your age I may know a few. I could find you a date if you are interested.”

“Yes, because if it comes to what women love most it’s someone like me. Asocial and crippled.” Kelly gave a roll of his eyes, “You’ll have a better time hooking yourself up with someone.” Now that he thought about it he hadn’t really put himself out there for a while. He had been more focused on his job and and more recently moving. Not many people could stand his abrasive personality to begin with, anyways.

“My apologies, I definitely thought they were. I made the assumption that you were just a tall leprechaun. Don’t I feel like a fool,” the blonde grinned. She found him to be very amusing, and she was curious. She had only encountered a handful of werewolves, especially experienced ones. Josephine noticed his brow raise at the year she gave. “Yes, I’m old as dirt. I’ve been around a while.” She despised her immortality. “Well, you chose an excellent place to reside. And do you have a profession here?” 

Kelly chuckled at Josephine’s joke, letting a smile find it’s way onto his features for a moment before clearing his throat and going back to his usual more flat expression. Growing old was pretty terrible, honestly it was the only reason he had come to Asteria. “I’m a doctor at the hospital. I generally work in the ICU as an intensivist. Decent enough, makes good money. Worst part’s dealing with the people, honestly.” He shook his head and grimaced a moment, “What do you do? Or are you living off a hoard of gold you’ve saved through your years?”

kira-park:

“Not, um, not really.” Kira said sheepishly. “Honestly I’ve probably only turned maybe twenty times…” She shook her head and them bit her lip. She let out and a little sigh when he asked about a pack. “Um, no. I haven’t. I have a friend who said that packs are no good. Although, I am curious. And really there aren’t a lot of packs around here; especially ones who want to take on a an inexperienced little pup in their pack… Understandably, really.” She sighed.

“Well. I am just a random old man practically lecturing you. But generally speaking it’s good for young wolves to have that experience. It’s practically in you blood.” True, by that logic Kelly should be doing the noble deed of seeking out a pack as well. And true at this point he was practically preaching at a poor kid who had the unfortunate luck to be subjected to his badgering. But he was just trying to give back to the community, or something like that.
