(Art I drew for the story, now onward! Also sorry for crappy background I didn't want to draw a background. Also Kito in his wolf form is six feet tall . Also a link to Kito's information that if you haven't read I recommend doing so: https://disqus.com/home/dis... )
It was a quiet night at the society, it was early in the morning, around two a.m., and things would of stayed quiet, in till a portal opened in the entrance hall of the society. A wolf, not a normal sized wolf, this wolf was far greater than a normal wolf's height. It fell on to the walkway with a loud thud, it howling in pain as it landed on the cut on it's side. It lay there bleeding unable to move for a few moments due to the fall. His mind was dazed, the High Wolf's mind felt cloudy. He was breathing heavily, in great pain, blood also came out of his mouth from a cut inside his mouth. He was listening for any sign of life, but his registration would be slower, he felt tired, but he couldn't sleep, what if this sleep he took was his last? He had to stay alive, no matter what. The wolf lay there to lost in an argument with himself to notice if anyone approached. What wolf didn't notice is a faint glow appear around his wounds as he lay there, for he was also wet, the water on him seemed to absorb in to the wounds and slowly heal them.

Miss Flowers had only just fallen asleep, after staying up far too late examining some blueprints. She was woken by the yelp from out in the hall, and lay for some moments, her mind still full of an 
intricate dream full of wings and cogwheels, before realising what it was that had woken her. She picked a small object from a drawer and put it in her pocket, before going out into the hall.
She gasped when she saw the huge wolf. For a few seconds the inventor stood frozen then backed very quietly towards the door, thinking to go and get help.
((If nothing happens to stop her, she'll go and find somebody else. Anyone want to be the somebody else?

Kito heard and smelled her, although his wounds were slowly healing as a last blessing of the scared water he was covered in by the spirits he stood and faced her snarling. The blood made puddles on the floor, he glared at her with such hatred in his eyes that could make any freeze.

...Certainly Miss Flowers. 
Not daring to move, she tried to remember what she'd heard about wolves. 
Look them straight in the eye and they'll back off. No wolf can look a human in the eye.
Looking them in the eye is making a challenge so DON'T look them in the eye unless you can back that up.
...right, yes, that's a great help. She didn't risk it. Her hand gripped the object in her pocket. A thought occurred to her. A wolf? The only kind of wolf in London is a werewolf.
Even if it was a werewolf that didn't necessarily mean it could understand what you were saying, of course. She tried to speak but her voice came out as a squeak. "h-hello?"

The wolf was not an ordinary wolf, he towered over her and his ear twitched as he heard her speak. But he seemed to stop growling, he was still in a attacking pose and he looked her straight in the eyes. He nodded his head showing he heard her. He sensed she was not going to fight him otherwise she would of made a move.

"It's all right. I'm not going to hurt you." Not that there is much possibility of that. Hardly knowing what she was saying, she kept very still, keeping her voice low and steady, . Some of the blood on the ground was the wolf's own, she realised. "Do you need help?"

The wolf froze and seemed to cock his head, his mask then glowed and in a few seconds a young man stood in the wolf's place. He clutched the wound at his side. "You don't want to kill me? Enslave me?" He asked, he seemed confused, tense, and untrusting of her.

The wolf looked away as he wounds stopped healing themselves from the spring water. They weren't as bad as before, but he still felt weak. He fell on to the ground and let out a bark that echoed loudly through the society, answering her question, yes.

((Gemma and her pancakes. She's got a problem. And I think the kitchen opens into the entrance hall? Who knows.))
Gemma poked her head out of the kitchen, a cloud of flour following her in a white cloud as a result of late night baking. Spotting a large beast that seemed to be injured she grabbed a spare apron and some bandages, along with a stack of leftover pancakes. The blue haired girl today was wearing a long dark blue shirt and brown pants, a piece of string tied around her waist. Don't panic Gemma. Don't panic, its not Charliea person, don't panic. She set the stack of pancakes down by the wolf.
"Hello? I have pancakes and bandages and some other things if you want them..." Gemma shook. She was terrified but she at least had to try and help. Her eyes were examining the floor tiles.

Kito's eyes quickly dilated to slits as he rose quickly snarling at her. His eyes, although seemingly expressionless bore the emotion of fear and hatred. He than saw the bandages and eruptly topped cocking his head. Confusion evident.

Gemma backed up a quickly few steps. She then, uselessly it seemed but she couldn't think straight at this point, "You're hurt. Or at least there's blood I don't know... Pancakes because I don't want you to eat me. And bandages incase? I don't really know what I was thinking."

Part of the bloody paw prints stopped and began foot prints. At the end of the trail on a bed was Kito. His side, leg, and forearm was bandaged. He also had gauze in his mouth that seemed to be soaking up blood.

Kito turned his head to face the stranger, eyes narrowing, but he was in no place to do anything. He spat out the gauze like a cat would a fur ball, his mask mouth closing and he looked at him. "Water," He said, the mask didn't move as Lewis said earlier. He said water with such a strong hatred, but Kito couldn't be blamed, he had just come from a battle with humans and not to mention all they did to his race in the past.

This prompted a chuckle from Lewis.
"Each human is unique. Some are kind, some are cruel. Some are open-minded; others are bigots. Each and every individual is different. You simply have to get to know them to find out which is which. Humans have to do it, too, among each other," he explained matter-of-factly.

"Then those humans must have been the close-minded kind," remarked Weir. "That's terribly unfortunate. Thankfully, the people within this building -- the Society -- are not. You will never meet a more open-minded bunch." A pause. "Except for Hela, and possibly Griffin. Those two are definitely out for themselves. But they've no interest in the infirmary. And I've a feeling once you heal, neither would be a match for you." A smile. "Do let me know if I can be of any further assistance, won't you?"

"Egad," said Lewis, "that's...yes. Quite so." He thought a moment. "I don't know how you'd feel about the prospect, but I imagine if you spoke with Mz. Hyde, the manager here--she's a lovely sort--you could stay if you wished. I know it isn't the same, but it would be better than nothing." A pause. "I myself hail from a different dimension than this one, in fact."

He is able to look at situations without allowing personal prejudice get in the way. I thoroughly enjoy roleplaying with him and reading his interactions with other characters. He is the level head calmness that every situation needs.)

( Thud.
Were it not for the familiar chill in the air, a different Quartz might have answered the call.
A pair of heavy lids open, brown eyes sluggishly blinking back the blurry sleep clouding them.
Time for the morning walk already?
The clocks throughout the building answer him with a unanimous set of chimes.
Only two A.M, just a air shy of the witching hour. Oh well.
How fitting.
Softly down the stairs he patters with a candle to light his way.
He slows when he notices the great wolf.

You raise an excellent question. It is true that there are greedy people- of any race really, but we all have the potential for darkness. Goodness also.
The humans I know would never have done such a thing.
My parents believed in this planet so deeply that they each gave themselves for its welfare. To think that the recipients of those sacrifices could be capable of such evil would be logical, but it's disturbing.

Kito looked around and stopped he then went to his knees as soon as he saw the bones and held his hands together and seemed to say in a foreign language: May you death been painless, and your eternal rest peaceful. May your spirits be guided to the great plains. 
After he said that he howled in honor of the dead, a tune, it was a chilling and haunting tune but beautiful all the same.

This creature is at least thousands of years old. I think that this is, quite possibly, the first time their death has been mourned. It would be remiss of one not to appreciate the beauty of such an tribute.

((I don't know what "here" you're referring to but it isn't, you know. It's not just Kito's people that wouldn't take it as meaning what you thought it meant. Just thought you'd better know.))

( Although he doesn't acknowledge the presence aloud, he turns inwardly towards them.
"Hello again,
Perhaps your "here" and my "here" are a little different.
If you look in some dictionaries, you'll note that the definition listed isn't "a state of psychosis" but rather "(especially of an animal) in a wild state, especially after escape from captivity or domestication" or "existing in a natural state, as animals or plants; not domesticated or cultivated; wild. having reverted to the wild state"
granted it does go on to describe "of or characteristic of wild animals; ferocious; brutal." but it isn't the definition that comes to mind for me or anyone I know. The word for THAT is "savage".
Thank you for the warning, however. I was not aware of the discrepancy between the two meanings." )
