A fox or a hound?

I don't have a name but you can call me Calvin, or Cal, I don't really mind. Usually I live my days as a human, the way I have learned but I'm not really a normal human. I'm not dangerous, I just want a safe place to rest when I'm tired, someone who doesn't want to hurt me for my fur. Oh didn't I mention that I'm really a fox? Erhm, surprise? // Indie rp blog for an oc. Might be nsfw. read the about page.

Well Raven really thought he scared the fox away, It wouldnt wonder him. He bit him, hurt his neck and the fox lost a lot of blood. he then left so why should Raven expect this little guy to come back? He watched the fox and stood in front of him, eyes crossed in front of his chest. Yes, he fed so he definitely felt better now. The vampire blinked as Calvin transformed and became his human form again, naked. Raven licked his lip shortly, ran a hand thru his hair. “I did act normal.” Raven pouted. “I’m a vampire, that’s just how I am.. it’s natural to drink from people.” Raven shrugged. His eyes wandered to Calvins neck and he saw his biting mark there, sighted lightly. “Sorry for that.. I needed blood.” The vampire sat down next to Calvin slowly, keeping some distance to him. “Well youre here… what now?” He raised an eyebrow, looking at Calvin.

"Normal for a starving man, or animal, or whatever you like to call yourself yes, but not normal to the etiquet, yes?" He actually smirked this time as he watched Raven sit down next to him. Still very comfortable with not wearing any clothes. He was an animal after all and clothes still felt strange, even after so many years of wearing them. a light laugh left him as he tipped his head back a little before he looked back at the other man. "Now what? We talk, we... hang around and I decide if I could overlook this little mishap that occured and might concider yu mig friend in the future. That's how it normaly goes isn't it?" He tilted his head a little, a smile still playing across his lips. "I suspect you've been a man far longer than me. I did have to look vampires up though", he said and felt his face flush a bit. "quite facinating, and it explains why you smell like dead things."

Calvin & Roy

[theredbandit06-deactivated20130]

“Does that mean yes?” he rolled his eyes, one eyebrow higher than the other as the fox rested his head against his collar. He very much reminded him of a dog at this point.

[thehumanfox-blog]

At the comment Calvin nipped at his jaw. Not hard enough to hurt him, not really, just hard enough so he could feel it and he headbutted his chin after that. He so deserved that for asking an animal if it wanted booze. Silly human.

[reflectionsofwonderlandarch-blog]

Alice was glad that he didn’t ask. For most people - those who had never came in touch with the supernatural at least - her fear was something silly. Since she was an adult. Noone who should still believe into monsters hiding in the dark. “Yeah… though I am there now and then. In a forest I mean.”

Now she was the one being confused. Did he knew that… she knew? Or that she had an idea about who he really was? What he was? Everything was fitting slowly fitting together like a puzzle in her mind - that Calvin was shy, careful when approaching other people. That he prefered to live in the woods and used fire. His comment about raccoons earlier….

“Uhm, no… not really. I mean… are you…not human?” Alice blurted it out, taking a sharp breath when she noticed it. But it was to late. Now all Alice could do was trying to safe the situation. Another deep breath. “I am… serious. You are not… entirely human right?”

[thehumanfox-blog]

"Well that's nice!" He smiled. Because of course he was happy she would come to a forest, like some people would be happy that you came to their big city once in a while instead of your little village just outside of town.

It wasn't really a secret what he was. At least Calvin wasn't one to keep it secret if someone asked him, though he knew many shape shifters kept quiet. He chuckled softly and he felt his ears burn at her words. He shouldnt' be embarassed but her words maybe came out a bit wrong. Like it was something wrong with him and he gloed his eyes to his fingers infront of him instead. He licked his lips and shook his head slowly before he shrugged. "I'm all human now, right?" He smiled softly and a bit carefully. "Tell you what", he said and tilted his head slightly. "You tell me a secret, I tell you mine." 

[reflectionsofwonderlandarch-blog]

“I can’t speak for others, but I… don’t like forests. Back experiences you could say.” Alice could be honest here. As long as it wouldn’t come to the true reasons it was hurting noone to admit she would every wood if it wasn’t for her job to visit them now and then. At least during nighttime. “And well, maybe… people are used to have hot water, and a fridge and electricity.” she shrugged, continuing to listen to Calvin. “I don’t think you’re crazy,” she smiled at him, “only different. But different doesn’t need to be bad you know?”

[thehumanfox-blog]

"How can you not like the forest?" He asked, genuinly curious as he tilted his head to the side. "Oh", was all he said. Well yes, there was some scarry things in the forest indeed. "Yeah, but there are.. ways around it", he smiled. Not that Calvin used any electricity and stuff like that. Mostly he was an animal who lived under the cabin and only used it once in a while to practice being able to stay in human form for a while longer. "you know, fire and stuff" he smiled as he explained. Different. Many people seemed to not want to be different, that it was a bad thing so her words sort of confused him. "Different? I'm not as a human?" He asked. Because that's what different meant to him. Anilams and humans were different because they were not the same. he was a different shapeshifter because he could become a man and not the other way around.

[reflectionsofwonderlandarch-blog]

“Yeah…,” Alice rubbed her upper arm, not sure what to reply. She was almost about to blast it out and ask Calvin to tell her the truth but she wasn’t sure if the would be a good idea, “why the woods though? I mean, there are a lot of peaceful areas if you don’t want to live in the center of the city.”

[thehumanfox-blog]

"Why not the forest?" He asked back. Not to be rude, just because he probably would never understand people living just outside of town and call it the middle of nowhere. And they probably would never understand him. "I like it there, I grew up there. But I'm not a-" He knitted his eyebrows together a bit and waved his hand as he tried to find the word he was looking for. "- a - a hermit? Yes! No, I'm not a hermit. and I'm not crazy!" He now smiled widely as he was very pleased with finding the word.

[reflectionsofwonderlandarch-blog]

“Err… yeah sure. But raccoon…” Alice shook her head. He was serious, wasn’t he? And maybe not even noticing how suspicious she got about it all. “You know,” she backed away a little, shoving both hands into the pockets of her jeans, “from what I know people normally don’t eat a raccoon. Or a fox. It is not that there wouldn’t be enough… other food to buy…”

[thehumanfox-blog]

"You live off what you can get. when you live in the forest. There's not really any stores out there", he shrugged. "It's meat though."

[reflectionsofwonderlandarch-blog]

“Wait now,” Alice’ smiled faded a little, making space for a more questioning expression on her face, “are you serious with that? That racoons… taste better?” Maybe it had only been an accident. A wrong choice of words while they spoke about foxes and racoons. But also to odd to simply ignore it. And quite fitting to the feeling her senses were giving Alice in Calvin’s company.

[thehumanfox-blog]

"Yeah. Though I've never actually tasted fox meat." He pulled his lips to the side. well he was no cannibal right? and he really didn't have much of an idea how this all sounded to the other.

Calvin & Roy

[theredbandit06-deactivated20130]

Instead of pushing the fox off though and lifted a hand and stroke it over the back,

“Did you want some Jack huh?” he asked in some kind of joke he didn’t even put an effort into.

[thehumanfox-blog]

A light shiver went down his body at the touch and he leaned into it. He liked to be peted at times, even if it probably was rather degrading for a wild animal. At his question though he tilted his head lightly to the side. Did he want some jack? Some alcohol? No. The fox let out a groan as he leaned closer to Roy and pressed his head in under his chin and sattled his head against his collarbone and shoulder. 'not you either'.

[reflectionsofwonderlandarch-blog]

His statement made Alice wanting to ask more. About who he was. He really was mysterious. And nice as well.

“I promise my lips are sealed,” she assured Calvin with a smile, “though… which of those two? Or is that a secret as well?”

[thehumanfox-blog]

A light laugh left him at that. "Well if I could choose I'd probably rather be the fox than the racoon. Not to say the racoons are cute, but the fox is better", he nodded. "And racoons taste better", he smirked. He'd never managed to kill a big racoon, but he'd encountered other preditors doing it and had stolen a piece or two when he got too lacy to hunt rats, mice and field-mice.

Calvin & Roy

[theredbandit06-deactivated20130]

Just before the fox was able to jump off his lap he managed to snatch hold of him. Just barely and it surprised even him. He took the bottle and let theh fox go, raising an eyebrow at it,

“That’s a new one. I’ve heard foxes are sneaky, but wow.”

[thehumanfox-blog]

Calvin grunted as he landed on the ground and shook his body. Not pleased at all to have been caught. Roy was just lucky. But he turned to look back up at him anyway, an unpleased expression played in his eyes. He huffed again but insteead of staying on the ground he was back up in Roy's lap where he sat himself down and simply just stared at him with that look in his eyes.

[ladameperdue-archive-blog]

She listened to him and tilted her head slightly to one side, wondering if he really was what he seemed to be. Something was mystical about him, but she could not tell what it was. “So, I guess you ‘ere because you’re bored?” 

[thehumanfox-blog]

"And feel the need of being social, yes", he nodded. "Don't they say humans are sort of pack animals? They can't be alone for too long. Well even I need to interract." Perhaps more with his own kind, but he liked meeting humans as well. And not all took kindly on seeing a fox waltz around their street or backyard.

[reflectionsofwonderlandarch-blog]

“Oh… okay. You are honestly the first person who asked me to compare them with an animal,” Alice admitted with a soft laugh, “I am not sure… well, no mouse…” she trailed of a little, appraising Calving from head to toe, “something… shy maybe. Cautious. Because it doesn’t beling into the city. Like… a raccoon. Or a fox. Only guessing of course.”

[thehumanfox-blog]

Calvin just held still as she tried to figure out what he could be. Or more be like. A wider smile spread across his lips as he leaned a bit closer. "You won't tell anyone? But one of those are more right than you might believe", he chuckled. 

[thehumanfox-blog]

Calvin & Roy

[theredbandit06-deactivated20130]

He ignored the fox and downed the pills before placing the bottle back in the pocket of his cardigan,

“You don’t think a fox is going to boss me around do you? I take pills for… pain,” he muttered, even stopping up a bit as if he didn’t even remember anymore what he took them for.

[thehumanfox-blog]

Calvin tilted his head, his ears still pulled back and a bit of what looked like a frown on his face. No, the fox was not pleased with this situation. His eyes flicked back to his pocket where he put the bottle and without really careing much what roy wanted or didn't want he took a leap up his lap again and stuck his nose down the pocket of his cardigan to grip the bottle with his teeth and tried to get off his lap before roy had a chance to catch him and stop him.

[ladameperdue-archive-blog]

She nodded with her head, obviously she was impressed by his ‘lifestyle’. “I can imagine, and it does sound thrilling. But…but don’t you feel lonely? Pardon for ze question.”

[thehumanfox-blog]

"It's alright", he chuckled but shook his head slowly. "No, I like being on my own mostly. And when I get bored with that I go here to meet people. New people or old people", he smiled. Not really connecting to what he'd just said and what it sounded like. He was just pleased to be able to explain himself.

[reflectionsofwonderlandarch-blog]

“Thank you,” she had noticed Calvin’s hesitation, but said nothing. Curious or not Alice had learned not to ask to much weird things. At least not without some more reasons than her senses reacting to the stranger.

“And the other thing… that you don’t look like a mouse - it was more meant as a compliment,” a chuckled followed those words, “was it… a bad one?”

[thehumanfox-blog]

"No, I don't think so. But your compliment then got me curious on what animal you would think me like." He smiled softly. If Alice asked him he wouldn't even try to hide the fact that he wasn't even human.

[ladameperdue-archive-blog]

“Wow.” She cleared her throat, smiling up at him with sparkle in her dark eyes which made them look a little brighter than usual. “I mean, zis is really amazing, and how is it? To live in ze forest?”

[thehumanfox-blog]

"It's good. It's never quiet and it's never calm. Well perhaps calm for the city people but not to one that's used to live there. There's always stuff to do because you need to get food and all that", you couldn't just go to the store, one had to hunt, animal or human and save and prepare. All of that.

[reflectionsofwonderlandarch-blog]

“Never heard of that to be honest,” Alice replied with a small chuckle, “and you don’t look like a mouse anyway. Calvin hm?,” with a smile she offered him her hand, “it is nice to meet you as well.”

[thehumanfox-blog]

"Then what do I look like?" He asked, rather curiously. His eyes went to her hand and he watched it perhaps for a second too long befare he held out his own hand to take hers and looked up to meet her eyes with a smile as he shook it. "Yes Calvin. But Alice is a far prettier name than that."
