Free Drinks

“I usually don’t take drinks from strangers, but I’ll make an exception for you. Got a name? Or should I make one up?”. He grinned at the person, the hailed a bartender down, “Or should I just order more?”

"O-Oh um, I'm Elijah," he said shyly, a soft smile on his lips, "Thanks for making an exception for me, I just figured... you know, you looked like you could use a freind to talk to... what about you though? What's your name?"

"Sounds like a plan to me!" Elijah promised enthusiastically, grinning from ear to ear as he followed the cougar wherever he went, happy for the turn of events, Elijah was a fan of food- especially junk food and sweets- so he was always happy to be lead in the direction of such things, "Ohh!! The pink and white building?" the werewolf guessed, eyes lighting up with excitement as he stared at the seemingly old fashioned diner just ahead of them, "It looks really great!"

"Alas, I'm afraid I haven't been here long enough to sample too many places, but I'm more than happy to follow that eighth sense of your's wherever it takes us!" the werewolf promised brightly, he had an absolutely horrible sweet tooth, and a great love for simple, quiet things like small town diners and strawberry milkshakes, so he was quite happy with the sudden development laid in front of him

"Is there a big difference in taste, between men and women?" he asked curiously, he actually had never considered that, but there was probably a huge difference now that he thought about it, he imagined women would probably taste sweeter, softer, smoother.. men were probably a little more musky and bitter, atleast that's how it worked out in his head, "I hear a great many things about fae blood, and that's just from bottling it, I bet drinking it is a real thrill, is it .. more of a power boost or more of a high?" Elijah was always curious- often too a fault, but he couldn't help himself from asking

"O-Oh um.. I know... I'm trying to find some puppy training instructions but it's not going so well, I wanted to enroll her in classes but she's at the awkward age where she's too old to be in a puppy class and too young to be in a standard adult dog class so I either have to get a personal pet trainer or figure it out myself... I don't know if you can tell but discipline really isn't what I'm best at," he confessed with a wince, Elijah had been compared to a feild mouse even on his bravest of days, he probably couldn't train a dust bunny, much less a dog, "I'm going to figure out something though, I promise, the last thing I want is for her to approach the wrong person and get into trouble,"

"O-Oh I guess that's a good point," he still hated to be such an inconvenience, but atleast it wasn't like anyone was expecting a fast pace he supposed... "I... no? I mean.. I didn't really know anyone actually kept track of that sorta thing unless they were going on a diet... and I'm not a very diety person..." unless "diets" meant sweets, pizza, and comfort food that is... "I mean I'm probably somewhere around six feet tall I guess, but ... I have no idea what my weight is... does it really matter that much?" probably a stupid question but he had to try

"O-Oh it um... it wasn't by... choice," Elijah corrected quietly, resisting the increasingly strong urge to start fidgeting, "I'd never choose to be alone, personally... and since becoming a werewolf the um... the urge for companionship is even stronger," and that was all kinds of unfortunate, considering how strong it had been beforehand... "O-Oh um, thank you so much! Could you recommend one to me please? What's the strongest? Something to guard against intruders... for example?" he hated to keep bothering the poor guy, but Elijah wanted to make sure whatever he bought would do the job, and he'd rather not have charms and crystals hanging off of every part of his house as insurance if he could avoid it...

"O-Oh, um ok, if you're sure, is there anything I can get for you though?" Elijah asked hopefully, he wanted to be helpfull, especially if someone needed him, he just felt rather... useless otherwise

"Oh I'm so glad to hear that, you'd be surprised at how many people do," Elijah said with a relieved smile, glad to see that the first person Delilah decided to pull the I'm-your-new-freind-now act on was a dog person and not someone who was... you know... NOT a dog person, the little poodle certainly seemed happy for the other's attention, rising up on her hind legs to get closer and nudging up against him with an excitedly wagging tail, "This would be the perfect time for a 'somebunny likes you' joke but I think that's probably only cute if one of the parties in question is actually a bunny..." though who knows? Maybe it was cute anyway

"O-Oh... yeah, she's the boss," Elijah said with a slight laugh, he knew from all of the puppy-parenting books he had read that that was the WORST way to parent but.. well, who could say no to that little face? And what was he supposed to do when she took off like a bullet? Yank on the leash? Stand his ground? Risk choking her? (Ok, so, she was wearing a harness, actually, so the risk of choking was pretty much zero, but what if it hurt her little ribs!?) Delilah seemed utterly unaware of Elijah's internal debate, tail wagging up a storm as she nuzzled into the stranger's hand affectionately, "I guess you have a new freind," he grinned somewhat teasingly

The more he was hearing from this, the more those "Just say no" ads that he watched as a kid started to play themselves over in his head, like a big neon flashing sign of DON'T, "Something bad...?" he echoed quietly, "... What um.... what exactly does 'something bad' mean? And how much is too much?" nevermind the fact that Elijah couldn't STAND bitter things and would probably be rinsing his mouth out for the rest of the night anyway....

"You do? Oh that's... that's extra inconvenient..." he said slowly, "I can give you soup, I'm... I don't have any fire-proof blankets ... but I'm sure that I could find some,"

"Turned, new is ... subjective? I was turned about six or seven years ago but I've been... a little isolated ... until more recently, I hadn't even met another werewolf until a few months ago to be perfectly honest," things after being turned had kind of escalated from bad to worse, from barely living to fighting to survive, he hadn't had the time or resources to learn about what he had become, "So I guess newish?"

"O-Oh um... ok, I'm not holding up anyone else am I?" he asked a bit worriedly, starting to scribble out his information as he quickly as he could, the last thing he wanted to do was be slow and hold up this poor guy any longer, for all Elijah knew he could be keeping him from taking his lunch break or something and he certainly didn't want to be the cause for that, "Um... what if I don't know my weight? .. Or my height? I mean I have a height ... estimate I guess but... I'm kinda totally lost on my weight..." he had had a "no scales" rule in his house since he was a kid, it just.... had never really come up

"Oh good! It's always so awkward when I run into someone who isn't a dog fan," Elijah breathed with a sigh of releif, "She ADORES people, plus we're new here and I think she's trying to meet everyone she sees," he noted cheerfully, watching as the little dog happily danced around with excitement at meeting a new face, "I'm Elijah by the way, what's your name?"

Open: Text || Jacob <<>> ??

Jacob: Shit.

Jacob: Shit. Okay. Thanks. You're.. a doll thanks.

Elijah: You're welcome, is there anything I can do to help??

“ Oh! Someone new! I’ve been here for a week or two now so I’m still getting to know things here and since I have a bad memory I’ve been getting lost almost everyday.” He nodded.” I-I’m trying to get home. I-It’s an apartment somewhere… It’s near a park!”

"Oh I understand that, I get lost alot too," Elijah said with a gentle smile, it was an even more unfortunate fact considering he was a werewolf, he should be able to sniff his way home... "Maybe I can help you find it then, I can sniff out where the parks are, you can tell me if it's the right one and then we'll go from there, ok?"
