Thank you. We will start telling people when things have calmed down.
Who knows whenever the fuck that is, Mel. I mean...Chris and I went over to that area where that hiker was killed and fuck. It just showed how fuckin' in-depth the person was. They didn't count on our noses, though.
I forgot I still had it on. We’re not telling people yet so, keep it quiet.
Well, I can swear I won't tell anyone. It's not my place t' be tellin' but people'll find out eventually.
[Moves her hand beneath the table] I think you’re seeing things, PD.
Then why the fuck did ya move your hand under the table if there's nothin' t' see? ((He asked, gesturing to his left ring finger as if to indicate the ring she's wearing.)) And if ya wanna hide a ring, don't wear it out in th' open like that. Put it in a box in your desk or somethin'.

Ben
You’re staring.
If it helps, I'm not starin' at you entirely...but the rock on your fuckin' finger.
So I decided to read... // Parker & Emily
[Emily felt relieved when Parker took seriously her advice. She was happy to help him and she loves plants.] I can give you some tea, for your plants. And also see your garden. I have a good hand and maybe we can revive what you have. Every single plant needs attention and love, nothing more. [In the moment he named black beer she remembered something] In France, a bakery just close to us makes bread with black beer. Tastes good. Beer gives a special touch. [She smiled] That sounds as a favors exchange, what I like. I believe in exchange, is better and more satisfactory than money.
I'd appreciate the help, most definitely. ((He said, looking to Emily with a smile. Nodding as he listened to her, he knew he could really use her help with the barley and hops.)) You are going to be such a big help. Thank you! I mean, I've got no green thumb but I know how to put seeds in the ground and water it. ((Laughing a bit at his own idiocy when it came to gardening, he ended up smiling when he finished laughing and listened to what she said about France.)) Stout Bread? That sounds amazing! If you can find me a recipe, I'm sure I can make it for when you come over. ((He told her and pulled out a pen and a notepad. Writing down his number, he ripped off the little piece of paper and handed it to her.)) In exchange for your help, here's my number and me inviting you to come over.
I do have her an’ only here. Why I said you fuckin’ pulled messed up shit. ((He said, dropping the paper towels on the counter and tossing away the trash. He stayed in the kitchen and just listened to P.D. since he didn’t want to be in the same room s someone right now.)) It’s like this fuckin’…Just this damned black cloud, hangin’ over my head all the time. I thought takin’ ‘em out would fix it all, but it didn’t. ((He heard P.D. standing up and walking towards him. Max moved to the fridge and pulled it open, using the act of finding a beer to keep his distance.)) Everythin’s just empty. Nothin’ means anything’ anymore. ((He said, pulling a beer from the fridge and finally looking back to P.D. since he had his emotions more under control.)) I’m tryin’ to distract myself. Not workin’ yet.
((He understood everything Max said, watching as he moved around the kitchen and opening the fridge. He kept his distance, though, since he figured the man wanted some space.)) The dark cloud fades. It may seem like it'll be there forever, but it fades. I spent years on drugs tryin' t' get past all of that crap. It got me fuckin' nowhere...not until I started doin' somethin'. It's gonna feel as if nothin' makes sense, as if the world's got no reason to keep spinnin'...but it does. Ya just gotta pull through, man. I know ya can do it. I mean, fuck, look at my ass. ((P.D. pulls the sleeves up on his jacket to show Max his old track marks.)) See that fuckin' shit? These are the reason that dark cloud o' my own stayed 'round as long as it did. I tried everythin' t' move on. Only thin' that worked was gettin' fuckin' sober an' findin' a job I like that keeps me away from all the crap I used t' do. I mean, I bet you're good at somethin', Max, somethin' ya can make a life out of.
So I decided to read... // Parker & Emily
[Take care of plants is an art. Emily learnt that secret long time ago. She knew she was the best for the relationship she has with nature, but of course, she knew few simply tricks.] You can try using the tea as fertilizer. Not everybody knows that but the tea leaves after the infusion are excellent for plans. But I believe the principal is words. They are alive, and they listen to us. I know the recommendation to talk with plants makes me sound crazy but try it. [She smiled excited with the idea to learn something new] I am curious, but also patient. I would love to see it.
((Listening to her advise, P.D. smiled and nodded to her. It was fantastic advise and he knew to use it wisely.)) Tea leaves from infusion and talking to plants. I can do that. It doesn't make you sound crazy, though. I heard the same thing over and over when I was younger. Talk to plants and they'll respond. ((He said, giving a soft shrug and smiling again.)) Patience is key when it comes to brewing beer. Right now I think I have a stout in the beginning stages. I can show you how to properly use hops if you'd like. I can give you my number and we can set a time and date to when we're both free so I can show you.
((He looked at P.D. as he finished talking. Honestly, he had thought of the man as always being part of Chris’ pack, but he obviously had guessed wrong. And from how he was talking, it looked like his old pack wasn’t around any longer just like his parents.)) It is. Bitten ones don’t know it like that. How fucked up it really can get. ((He sighed and looked away from P.D. His memories were starting to overwhelm him, especially since they were talking about it openly. Well, somewhat openly.)) You don’t want it. ((He said suddenly, looking back to P.D. with a hard set of his jaw.)) It doesn’t do a damned thing in makin’ anythin’ better. Just makes everythin’ worse. ((He said vehemently, standing up and picking up his things and the roll of paper towels.)) Gotta toss this shit. ((He said shortly, waiting till his back was turned to swipe angrily at his eyes.))
((Taking in what Max said, P.D. sat there and nodded, knowing all of that was true.)) That's the thing, Max. I don't want it anymore. I know my pack would've wanted more out of me, my father...the Alpha, would've wanted me to be the man I could and live a life outside of what they had gone through. Revenge is never satisfyin', from what I know, an' I'd rather be happy knowin' that somethin' or someone'll do it down the road. ((P.D. mused as he made sure to keep his gaze away from Max. He could smell the salty tears that were desperate to escape from Max's eyes, leaving P.D. to believe that he needed some time to himself.)) That's why I said that you don't need t' go to Chris. Come t' me if either of ya need anythin'. Ya got some family, right? She's 'round an' that means somethin'. My advice on gettin' past what happened, after what ya've done...enjoy the life you've got knowin' that you can see your sister and all that know ya in this town each an' every fuckin' day. ((Finally standing up, P.D. turned to look at Max.)) Life's fuckin' shitty, I know this shit as well as you do. I'm not gonna stand here an' do what others do. It's not what I wanted years ago. I wanted t' tell people t' fuck off an' just get high so I didn't have t' smell the burnin' flesh of my pack anymore. What I do to get past it? I just try my best to enjoy those I'm 'round. I'm not sayin' it'll work for ya, but findin' somethin' t' actually give ya some sort of purpose'll get ya past what happened; move on from what ya've done.
So I decided to read... // Parker & Emily
[When he began name the herbs, he smiled. That was her weakness and was fine find a person who liked what he liked] My garden here is still new. I am focusing in the flowers, roses, and my part of herbs has only peppermint. But you give me some ideas. [She smiled, glowing, thinking in the possibilities.] I am not close to alcoholic beverages, but I would love to see the process, I am a curious person.
((Hearing what she grew, he smiled and nodded while thinking of his own little garden of hops and such.)) I'll have to check out your garden sometime. I know I grow some stuff but half of the time I end up killin' it or somethin'. You got any advice on how to keep plants alive? ((He asked with a chuckle, remembering that she wanted to see the process.)) Well, yeah, sure. I can show ya. It's not really hard, it's just a lot of patience.
((He shoved the last of his sandwich into his mouth since there wasn’t much left. Looking to P.D. when he asked his question, he sighed hard through his nose and finished eating slowly. Taking a long drink of his beer and finishing the bottle, he set his empty dishes aside before finally giving the other wolf his attention.)) It didn’t have nothin’ to do with all this shit. ((He started saying, shaking his head once.)) I dunno if Annie said anythin’. But we were run out of our old pack. And I went back to take revenge. ((He said in a flat voice, the memories of his trip still fresh in his mind.)) It’s why our parents aren’t in the picture.
((Listening to him, P.D. could tell what it was about. He wanted revenge just like P.D. did when he was younger. He didn't give him a look of pity since he knew Max would never appreciate it so he kept his expression the same as it was when he previously asked his own question to the other wolf.)) Annie didn't tell me anythin'...but I get exactly what you've been feelin'. I may not have been in the same situation but I wanted nothin' more than vengeance in the memory of my old pack. It's a fucked up world us wolves live in. It ain't nothin' but a buncha fuckin' violence. It's like runnin' with a gang. Hostile take overs, turf wars, murder...it's insane. But it's our lives, it's all we've known for those o' us who've been born into it. ((P.D. looked away from Max for a moment, giving the man some time to relax.)) I've done the whole, takin' off an' goin' back. You obviously succeeded since you're here. I wasn't. My enemy were hunters an' a certain wolf who led them to our pack. The trail's been cold since I was twenty two. You got that revenge, I dunno how ya feel now...but ya got it. I got none of that but then again, I don't think I'd ever wanna at this point. I know what comes 'round, goes 'round.
Yeah, I guess. ((He said, focusing on his food for the moment. To Alex and Annie, he would let his guard down a bit and show them how low his self-esteem actually was. But with P.D.? A wolf that was in line to be an alpha? Not a chance.)) Oh, heard, huh? I had some shit to deal with back home. Took longer than it shoulda, I almost missed the meetin’. ((He explained, remembering how long it had taken him to get back to town. He couldn’t have ridden a bus or any public transportation with how he looked without causing alarm. So he had been forced to walk the whole way, making a lot of stops to give his injured body a break.)) Didn’t really tell Annie ‘cause I knew she’d flip.
((Hearing that he had taken off, P.D. raised a brow and sighed.)) Alright, man. I just wanna know why ya left. It's the only question I'll ask about that entire situation. I mean, if it'd make your sister flip a shit, then it's obviously somethin' I should know. ((P.D. mentioned while keeping his eyes locked on Max. If Max were to look into his eyes as well, he'd see that P.D. meant no harm nor would he tell anyone. P.D. could keep secrets, especially about something as serious as this sounded.))
((He shrugged at the comment and took another bite. Max could tell sometimes Annie was a bit lonely, but he had no idea how to help out with that. He wasn’t really good at match making or anything like that. Washing his food down with a swig of beer, he looked to P.D. with another shrug.)) Prob’ly, I dunno. Nah, I don’t think so. Not a lot to pimp out. ((He added, taking another bite.))
((P.D. shrugged as well, never one to pester someone into a field of questions. Max never seemed to be someone who liked being slammed with that kind of crap.)) Either way, we'll see what happens. No one's a fuckin' psychic so it's not like we have any answers until shit fuckin' happens, ya know? ((Taking a bite of his sandwich, chewing slowly as he let his eyes fall back on Max.)) So, I heard your sister was lookin' for ya an' shit. An' at the meetin', ya looked like ya got hit by a truck five times.
Paper towels? Fuckin’ seriously? ((He asked her, catching them as they bounced off of his chest. Stuffing it between him and the chair he was sitting in.)) Annoyin’ and has a damn temper. Hope things with blondie do work out. She seems nicer. ((He said, smirking just as Annie came into the room. He knew something was going to happen, but he wasn’t sure what. Catching his plate before it slipped off his lap, he rolled his eyes as she treated P.D.’s food more nicely. Fixing his sandwich, he looked over when the door slammed.)) Ha, she’s so pissed. ((He said, taking a bite with a shrug. Max knew Annie would be calmer before she came home.))
((As P.D. watched her slam the door and then let his gaze fall back to Max, he shrugged and picked up the beer he was given when he arrived.)) I'm sure there's a good guy out there for her. ((He said with a chuckle and took a drink of the beer in his hand.)) So what about you? I'm sure your sister's pimpin' ya out our somethin' if you're doin' it t' her.
((He let out a bark of laughter when Annie started to yell, but he made a face when P.D. repeated his middle name.))Yeah, and? It’s my middle name. Her’s is Agnes. ((He said, gesturing back to the kitchen.)) If things don’t work out with blondie, you can always try annie. She’s kinda annoyin’ but she’s pretty good at cookin’. ((He said, smirking since he was teasing.))
Wait...your sister's name is Agnes? ((He said, furrowing his brows a bit before snickering quietly. Soon enough, something goes flying past P.D. and right at Max. As P.D. looked at it, he laughed. It was a roll of paper towels.)) I'm pretty sure it'll work out with Daisy but thanks for tryin'. ((Annie growled loudly while she was in the kitchen, walking back into the living room and dropping the plate into Max's lap while handing P.D.'s nicely to him. "I'm going to work." She told them, grabbing her keys and making her way out of the door and slamming it. Taking a bite of the sandwich, he growled softly in appreciation.))
Datin’ an’ stuff? ((He asked, laughing sarcastically. Max didn’t know anything really about P.D. and the fae; he just knows he had seen them at the festival acting close.)) Ya know, my sister used to have a huge thing for ya.
Yeah, just... Wait, what?! ((He asked as his eyes widened and he looked over at Annie who was yelling, "I swear to fuckin' God, Chauncey!" P.D. turned to look at Max with a confused but amused expression.)) Chauncey?
Little sunshine? ((He asked with a smirk.)) She your mate or somethin’ now? ((He asked, seeing how protective P.D. was talking about her.))
((Seeing his reaction, P.D. growled softly and rolled his eyes.)) She's not my mate. We're just kinda datin' an' stuff. I get protective easy.
