Hurrying over the Faye he takes her up in a hug, not scared of her in the least, "I'm so glad you're alright, though I was hoping there would be another day or two before you turned. Luckily for us Arden and Alice are coming over anyways so we're going to have to talk to them about this since I don't know anything to help you. It sounded like it was very painful for you, which I don't like and I'm hoping that its only something that happens for the first few times. Though I think it might be better if we...um...remove what remains of your dress..." His face flushes a bit as he tries not to draw attention to the tattered condition its in. But then his face turns pale as he realizes what time it is. "Oh no, we left Amelia at the house by herself, and Arden and Alice are going to be here soon!"

Having heard the knock, but no one to go get the door Amelia reluctantly gets up from the book she was reading in her temporary room, slowly going down the steps to answer the door. Opening the door wide she sees a couple, the woman being very beautiful and well dressed, her husband on the other hand was well dressed but didn't seem like he fit in his attire.

"You two must be the guests, that fool is so absent minded. First burning the food, then completely forgetting about his coming guests because of Faye's screams. She sounded like she was in pain, I guess werewolves don't change painlessly." She leaves the door open for them two of them to come in as she turns around to head back upstairs. "Shut the door after yourselves, don't need a draft getting me sick after all. I'm frail enough as is. Hopefully those two will be back soon, and don't mind Faye if she starts yelling at Isaac, those two are clearly not even understanding their own feelings, let alone each others."

[Rozen]

Faye nodded at his words when he said that is sounded painful. It was very and her body had lingering effects from it. She was sore all over and every muscle was throbbing with pain. She ran her eyes down and noticed the dress was all tattered, ripped, stained. he whined at the sight of it but gave Isaac a nod to help her take the rest of it off, it was one of her favorite dresses. Maybe she could go out shopping with Isaac tomorrow, just the two of them alone. The thought got her bubbling over with excitement as her tail wagged. She was a bit worried also, Amelia probably would't realize that they needed to be talked to with respect. And the fact that she's a human would scare them off since they would't know that she knew of the supernatural world. Faye understood his worry all too well.

Alice and Arden stared down the human as they tried to assess her. She was rather odd, for a human that is, but she was spunky. Alice took a liking to her. But what Amelia said shocked the two. "She's turning?! Oh gosh, maybe we should have brought Tristan? Oh dear, I feel bad now." Arden held his mate in his arms. "We will be back, we will go out to find Faye to check on her." He told the old lady and gave a slight bow to her, same with Alice and they went to the direction of the wood somewhere they could smell that they were in. "No, our son is not to get involved with her no matter what. Even if the are true mates, which I doubt, I don't want him with her in the first place. She seems like a nice girl but she was once a human and now half vampire. Our pack will not like that their future luna would be a human turned werewolf and vampire." As much as Alice hated to admit that but she had no other choice because it was true what her mate said. The pack wouldn't stand for it. "You're right." She sighed.

[ml1201]

Carefully Isaac removes the tattered clothing from Faye's now wolf body, bundling it up as neatly as he can, then rests a reassuring hand on Faye's head. "Alright, lets hurry back to the house. I'm wondering what gave you the idea to leave when you knew we were having guests." Sighing he shakes his head, but smiles since he's glad she's alright and not hurt. Isaac doesn't want to run back, thinking that she might still be in some pain after the transformation and not wanting to tire her out before they reached the house.

Figuring that since everyone was busy tending to Faye, Amelia got the dinner set up on the table, setting out four plates, fours sets of silver ware, and a wine glass paired with a regular glass at the four seats. She sets a pitcher of water in the middle of the table and a wine bottle where she presumed Isaac sits. The table wasn't all that big, it was able to sit six people, but it was also large enough to serve its purpose she supposed. Normally there were only two people eating at it anyways. Satisfied that everything was set up properly she sets the food out on the table with the utensils for serving them as well. Grabbing her meal from the kitchen she sets a pot on the stove to heat so she could have it with her dinner.

[Rozen]

Faye lowered her ears as he said that. She could just come up with some lie that she felt this call to the wild, it's not like he would ever find out differently. She wasn't about to rat on Amelia saying that it was her idea for her to leave for a little bit to figure some things out like her feeling. She didn't understand them in the least. It wasn't too long before they finally came across Alice and Arden. Alice smiled brightly. "Oh what a beautiful coat!" She went to pet her. So soft and silky!" Faye loved the petting but she hated herself for loving it. Was this what pets feel every time their owners pet them? It was darn good! She wagged her tail until she forced herself to stop and pulled away from Alice and barked at her to tell her no.

"Oh dear! Can she not talk? Well, I'm not too shocked by that. Don't worry, once you become stronger you will be able to talk in this form. Being a newly turn werewolf isn't much fun. Until you're stronger, you're basically just like a regular wolf, except bigger, stronger and faster. And also, I'm sorry that our son wasn't here to help you. Usually the one who bit you has to help you through your first transformation because it's very painful for the bitten to turn but once your body gets used to it, it will lighten up, I promise." She smiled.

"So Isaac, there's a human living in your home? I don't need to tell you the risks I'm sure you know already. She may be old by human standards but just be careful. Humans are creatures who hate anything that's not their vision of normal." He told Isaac as though he had personal experience. They began to walk back to the house

[ml1201]

"I'm glad to her that Alice, I was afraid it would always be painful for her to transform. And I'm glad she'll eventually be able to talk in that form, it would be very hard for me to understand her if she had something important to say after all." He gives a sigh of relief at finding out things will be fine for Faye, then looks nervously at Arden.

"To be honest Amelia is not a worry, I made her do a blood pact with me when I took her on as my student forty years ago. She can't tell anyone anything I don't want her to. And she's pretty strange herself to be honest, she doesn't judge a person on what they are but who they are. Which is why she wanted to be my student, to help her sickly husband who has breathing problems. I wanted her to stay out of the way, but with Faye transforming I completely forgot you two were coming and that she'd be left to answer the door." He lowers his head in apology to Arden for the inconvenience he caused the two. "Amelia was a very unexpected guest I had hoped not to see ever again for her own sake, but you can never stop that girl from doing as she pleases."

[Rozen]

Alice smiled. "Well, it's nice that you care about that sort of thing. Usually whoever is bitten their maker is there to be by their side since they are usually mates. It lessens the pain because they aren't concentrating on the pain but instead on their mate. But it can really be anyone as so long as they care enough about that person. But our son still thinks that she's his mate so that's why I feel like he should have been there." She explained hoping it made sense to the vampire. It was really something only werewolves understood because it seemed like only werewolves understood what it meant.

Arden raised an eyebrow and studied Isaac. "As so long as that woman can't say anything, that's all I'm worried about really. The last thing we need is some human going around talking about werewolves and vampires living in some mansion. But if you had made it impossible for her to do so, I will ignore it." He told him. No need to raise a stink over something that was already being handled. "She sounds like a handful. She sounds like someone who does whatever she pleases and doesn't really realize how other people around her feel about whatever she's doing." He stated.

Faye wasn't looking forward to anymore transformation. When they got back to the house, she noticed that there were four plates sitting on the table. Was one for her? Or for Amelia? Because she wouldn't be able to sit at the table like this, how could she when she was a wolf, not a human at the moment?

[ml1201]

"Well, she already figured the guests where 'unique' and thus wasn't concerned about saying anything to you guys, if she did say anything that is. And yes, she's quite the handful, it was just today she realized that people don't change the decor in their home every six months to keep up with the latest trend. Imagine having to put up with that every time she came over for the past five years." His eyes twitch a bit in annoyance at the memory of that time. "We better get back, I hope she hasn't made a mess of things."

When they get back he's surprised that the table is already set and ready for everyone to eat, "Now I'm feeling bad for telling her she couldn't join us. And she probably didn't realize that Faye wouldn't be able to eat with silverware...I have an idea, why not move everything out to the patio where we can enjoy looking out at the garden while we eat? The only table out their will be just big enough to have the food, but we could just eat standing up. And with the benches out there they are about the right height for Faye to stand while she eats too since it seems she can't change back yet."

[Rozen]

Alice giggled and even Arden, one who never cracked a smile let out a low chuckle that was barely audible. "Yes, I bet that must be hard to deal with. Sometimes things are better left the way they are. If something is pleasing to the eye, there's no need to change even if it's out of style according to other people." He slowly reached for Alice's hand and squeezed it to signal that he was also talking about her saying that he thought she was perfect no matter what along with the decor.

"Well, why don't you go get her an have her join us! I think that will make it up to her! I think she will love it!" Alice suggested. She didn't want to be rude to Amelia and thought that it was best that she join them. And eating outside sounds nice. Though we don't really mind where you want to eat."

Faye perked her ears up, she knew exactly where she wanted to eat, outside if she could eat without the plate being on the floor. "Outside!" She told Isaac but it only came out in a bark. Whimpering and lowering her ears and sighed as she then walked over to where the door to the patio was.

[ml1201]

"I'll send a familiar to get her then," He uses the little bat one again to get her, then opens the door for Faye. "I'll be out in a moment, just want to grab some of the food to bring out." Being careful Isaac grabs the plate of steaks in one hand, and the bowl of salad with the other, then heads outside and sets them down outside, leaving enough room for the stuffed chicken, wine bottle and water pitcher.

"Alright Faye, I'll get your plate ready for you, just wait by where you want to eat so I can set it down for you. After we're done eating I've got some questions to ask them, as probably does Amelia."

"I'm not going to ask anything since its none of my business and I'm leaving tomorrow. Honestly though, you can never figure out what you want to do, first you want me to stay away and now you want me here. Well, I brought the tea with me, guess I'll have to set it on a bench next to me." Amelia was wrapped up in a shawl and a hat, as if she gets cold easily.

[Rozen]

Faye couldn't help but feel rather embarrassed by the fact that she couldn't open up a door and that she couldn't get her own plate of food. She lost a lot of independence that people take fro granted every day. Granted they would never be in this situation that she was in, but still. Seeing Amelia come and complain about Isaac, she giggled in her mind. Yeah, she definitely would be complaining if she was kept being told one thing and then the opposite. She tried to hide a bit to keep Amelia from seeing her she really didn't want to be seen, she was too self conscious about her body since she wasn't used to being this way. Seeing that she looked rather cold, Faye walked over to her and rested her head on her lap as she kept her body close to her legs. Something about this woman just really made her feel comforted, kinda like a mother. It was hard for her to look at anyone, even Isaac, as a parent.

Alice helped with moving the food to the outside and forced Arden to help. "This looks wonderful!" She smiled. Looking at the wine, she could tell it was rather expensive. "Oh my, This looks really nice! We never really drink alcohol, especially with a full moon coming up but I'm not going to pass up a chance like this! I used to drink in my younger days but, I was young and dumb. But alcohol could endanger us, a rival pack might come upon us and if we are drunk they could take us out so that's the number one reason why we don't drink." She explained.

[ml1201]

"Oh my, I take it this is Faye since I don't see her, you're such a gorgeous wolf! Very soft and fluffy too. Hehe, if I was younger I'd wan to take naps with you and snuggle you like a child does their stuffed animal. Too bad there's not a brush I can use on your fur otherwise I'd brush it for you." Amelia pets Faye's head, sitting there calmly and not bothering anyone while doing so.

"Well, I wasn't certain, so I had it set aside for if you do drink, I didn't want to be rude. Sadly I cannot partake of any. It tastes like ash in my mouth and I get very ill when trying to consume anything except for a medium raw steak. And that I can barely keep down and is only just edible. So when I'm out that's what I eat and use slight of hand to get rid of the drink served me. It's kind of bothersome to be honest, but I'd rather blend in then risk people finding out what I am and getting scared." He sighs as he watches the others eat, preferring not to have any steak himself. "Though at least I don't have to ever worry about running out of food, I've gotten better at drinking blood for Faye's sake..."

[Rozen]

Faye looked up at the lady. She would be smiling and would have a blushed face if she was human but no. It made her feel really good to get so many compliments on her fur, she felt rather prideful of it as though it was her long hair. She whined, she would have loved to have her fur brushed out since it would technically be like having her hair brushed. Maybe she could just use a regular brush so she went running to her bedroom, which thankfully the door was cracked open and she grabbed her brush and went running back out. Faye barked at Isaac an lowered her nose to in front of her to signal him to place the food there so she could be brushed.

"Well, I think we can have a few sips of it, just can't get drunk is all. Dear, will you partake with me in drinking a little bit of wine?" She asked him in a playful manner. "We will have to drink it first an then try to disguise the scent of alcohol or else the others would know. So we really have to be careful, especially after Tristan came back smelling of the stuff, it wouldn't look good for us." He warned. Rolling her eyes, she smiled at Isaac. "We do love rare steaks. Granted, we usually eat raw meat but cooked is fine too!" Alice and Arden both grabbed a plate and got a little of everything and began to eat the food. "Oh my, this is rather good." She told him. "We do understand the need to blend in but this big guy you can see him coming from several miles away!" She giggled and kissed his cheek. Arden just stood there eating, not really adding much to the conversation. He was letting his mate do all of the talking.

[ml1201]

Isaac, looks at Faye, then where she's pointing with her snout, not sure what she wants at first, then realizes he told her to let him know where she wanted her food. He places the plate where she indicated, and smiles as he sees Amelia brushing Faye, both of them having a blast.

"You guys are lucky, you're not as limited in your food sources as I am, and why was your son hanging around a tavern anyways when he knows its not allowed?" Isaac was puzzled by this.

"Your husband sits out like a sore thumb because that suit doesn't suit him! He's better off in a hunting suit, he seems more of a huntsman anyways. Best part, if you look the part nobles around here don't mind you dressed like that. They just think you like hunting a lot." Amelia says loud enough for the couple to hear while she brushes Faye.

[Rozen]

Faye only wanted it on the ground so that Amelia could brush her, otherwise it was rather humiliating because she much rather not be reminded that she wasn't human. But this felt nice, she could have Amelia brush her all the time, every second of every minute of every hour an so on and so forth. She began to eat the food and her tail began to wag at how good it really was. "Wow, this taste really good, best thing I have ever eaten in my life!" Of course that all came out as nothing but barks. Maybe it was because her taste buds changed to where meat tasted a million times better than before or maybe it was Amelia who made it so delicious. No matter the case, it was just so good.

Alice stared at Isaac with a look that said really? about his question. "Well, because he's rather young and children tend to break their parents' rules. Besides, all of them do it, not that it makes it ok and they do get into trouble, it's just that they need to experience it. But I don't think that is the right word I'm looking for. And she doubted he paid for any drinks if they id get any." She smelled alcohol on him but didn't know if it was from other people or him.

Arden and Alice stared at one another at Amelia's comment looking rather confused. "I know its small on him but...is it really that bad? We will have to find the money to get you a new outfit dear." She rubbed his back. "There are other things that we can besides clothing that we need." He stated, refusing to spend a dime on new clothing.Turning to address Amelia, she smiled. "We don't have many clothing most in our pack only own one outfit. Because we are more wolves than human, we usually just don't wear clothing, it's not our nature. So we only own just this really to be able to go out with the humans if we ever needed to. And because we can't work, unless it's just odd jobs, we really don't have money." She explained. Arden was glaring at Alice wondering why she would discuss this with them. "Why would you tell them?" He asked in a rather angered tone of voice. Alice wasn't going to be hearing it. She crossed her arms over her chest and raised an eyebrow. "Because Faye needs our help. She should know things like that for when she comes to our pack and sees naked people walking around. Humans are not accustomed to that, but you should know that."
Taking a sip of wine, she fell in love with it. She loved the taste, it was better than any she had ever tried, which really was really a lot more than one would think. "Oh wow, this beats a lot of wine I had tried in my lifetime! You know, I think our son gets it from me. I will admit, I love wine, it's honestly my favorite.

[ml1201]

"Well, I guess I was just different since my family couldn't afford such things. We worked the fields for nobles when I was younger, and they let us live on their property and keep enough food to eat. Any extra money we made was normally kept for emergencies. But the noble's youngest son became my friend and taught me how to read, and I learned from my mother what plants made for good medicines and built on that. So when the noble's wife feel ill the medicine I made helped her out until a good doctor could make it out to them. So the noble let me read his books when I wasn't working, and tried for a scholarship into a medical school, one of the first to do this. Sadly, even though I was accepted, I never got to become a doctor like I wanted to..." He stares at the rising moon, his eyes turning red as the memory of that night clenches his heart with sorrow.

"Hm? I could probably just send you guys some of my boys old clothes, my eldest two loved hunting so something might fit him better. I can just have them sent here and when you come to help Faye you can pick them up. My husband and I have no use for them, and they are just taking up space anyways." Smiling happily, Amelia slowly starts nodding off, the day having been a long one for her overall. Shaking his head but smiling, Isaac thinks she deserves some rest, getting up from his seat and walking over to her.

"I think it would be better if we put her to bed, don't need her catching a cold out here. She might be a nuisance, but she has looked out for me in the past and seems she's still like that even now."

[Rozen]

Alice looked at him with sorrow in her eyes. "I'm sorry to hear that. That must have been tough for you wasn't it? I know someone who's kinda like you, had their life ripped away from them because they were turned into a creature. What do you do now? How do you afford such a huge place? How home, it's big, but not this big. We built it ourselves. Our pack built homes to live in and our number one rule was that they couldn't have a bigger house than ours because you know, we are the leader of the pack. But anyway, it seems you're doing good for whatever it is that you do. I'm sure that your parents are proud." She smiled warmly at Isaac. She and Arden finished up eating and sipping tiny amount of wine.

"Well, she's an elderly human, no wonder she's tired. Humans tired so easily, I feel sorry for her. Maybe you should help her to bed and then we can really discuss what you want to know in more detail if you have any more questions." Alice offered. She took the brush from Amelia's hands. "And I bet your coat feels so much softer than before, and it was rather very soft then!" She smiled.

Faye noticed that Amelia stopped brushing her. She finished eating, which she didn't eat much, maybe just about half. She walked over to the table and began to paw at the pitch of water hoping that someone would be able to get her some water since she was rather thirsty.
