Thread: A Fracture in the Balance (Translucentfeathers & Beelzing)

RE A Fracture in the Balance translucentfeathers x beelzing The laughter, while pleasant had her glowering as she stalked out of the house. Trust me, it isn't like this is an intentional choice in fashion, she muttered. And laugh it up, puppy, shd teased, I will find a way to create a cone of shame for your neck when you transform next. Granted the sheer size of the werewolf alone would make it a difficult feat. Claire followed Leona to the vehicle, sliding in as she tugged the hood closer around herself. She watched as they drove back down the winding forest road they had taken last night. It was beautiful, seeing everything washed over in warm sunlight and cast with the shine of the day. Not that Claire never went out durning the light hours, it was just that she preferred not to look like some sort of crazed hermit wearing multiple layers and hiding herself like she was now. Making an exception for this day, this meeting and ultimately for Leona was easy though, her wanting to help and return the favors the werewolf had so easily offered her by simply showing up at a meeting with hr was enough to swallow her pride for a bit. When they reached the town she glanced around, studying the little streets and small businesses. It was remote and quiet and just the perfect sort of base of operations. The vampires wouldn't focus on a small distant township where they held no sway, they would focus on places nearby and surrounding their own, where they already had a foothold they just needed to strengthen. Meanwhile, a place like this could gather its own strength and become fortified. When they reached the town hall, Claire followed Leona's lead. It was a long walk into the quiet halls of the building but once inside she quickly slipped off the sweatshirt to wrap the gloves she wore inside it's pocket, the sunglasses getting perched on the top of her head. The room they entered went silent as they walked inside. The smell of humans and werewolves was a bit overpowering and she was grateful for the meal she had that morning to stay any residual thirsts she msy have had from the night before. They walked through and a small part of her may have been shocked to her vary core that Jared had acknowledged her presence without any sort of threat or demands of her being removed from the premises. But then there was a woman, a werewolf who snapped at them as they passed, her biting words seemed to equate to a lowlevel threat despite the cool gaze and warm smile she recognized for the smirk it was. The defense that Leona offered her was kind and she felt a little settled knowing the other woman was on her side in this thoigh she wasn't sure what had offended the golden eyed alpha more-the insult to Claire or the betas attempts to dictate what Leona did. It didn't matter all that much to Claire because she felt herself snap a little. She wasn't willing to be viewed as something she wasn't and she certainly wasn't about to allow someone to talk about and insult her as if she wasn't even in the room. So, with a slow smile of her own she made sure to meet the females eyes, gaze locking onto hers steadily, not caring what the protocol was in a pack setting. Well you know, I am not completely house broken yet, she hummed quietly, being sure to speak barely above a whisper so no one besides Leona, Jared and this woman would hear. Can't be trusted on my own, I guess she thought it would be better here than risk making a mess at her home. Is that why you were brought? I can see your not exactly trained to behave in social situations yet.
