Cassie carefully stepped over some of the stroller pieces so she could get closer to Lilo. “That’s okay.” She muttered, waving away the issue about possibly waking Addie. It was clear she was sleeping hard for the afternoon, thank god. Cassie extended the package to Lilo a little surprised when he did recognize the return address.

It was his quick grimace that turned the surprise into a little bit of concern. “An old friend? How did they get this address?” Cassie had several other questions about this ‘friend’, mostly because of Lilo’s reaction, but she bit her tongue to keep from barraging him with questions. She chewed her thumbnail staring at the package in Lilo’s hands now, “Why don’t you open it?” Cassie suggested, picking up a few discarded cardboard pieces from the stroller packaging to mostly try and anxiously distract herself.

“Yeah, just an old friend. From my not so glory days.” Lilo smiled at Cassie again, and this time it was far more believable. “He probably got it through my mom, he helped out my mom a whole lot while I was recovering from the whole leg problem.” Simple statements that revealed a whole complicated history. The story of a good friend who wasn’t able to throw off the bad influences like Lilo could. He nibbled at a corner of his mouth, unsure of how to express that any other way.

“It looks nice enough huh?” Lilo began to shake the package, thought better of it and sniffed it instead. “Paper and plastic packaging smell kinda overwhelms the senses.” Lilo shrugged but still slit the package open using his thumb. He rooted through some packing peanuts until he found a small note. “Here we go!” He took it and read it out to Cassie. “Hey lobo, got out early- ahem goes into some stuff about the past, but he says he talked to mom- there we go-” He nodded confirming the theory. “And he’s sorry he missed the wedding and my daughter’s birth so he sent us belated gifts.” 

 He looked in the package again to see a book about fairy tales that looked like it overshoot Addie’s age to be age appropriate for her. And at the very bottom a set of skimpy lingerie that was hardly appropriate for anything. He couldn’t help but grin at that.

“Hmm? What?” Lilo sat in the living room on the floor. He was puzzling over how to put together the newly ordered stroller. The one that proclaimed it would fit a toddler and a baby perfectly, the add of course did not say anything about the pieces fitting perfectly. In fact the trouble Lilo was having with it was distracting, causing him to answer Cassie more loudly then he would have liked while Addie was sleeping. He clenched his eyes and hissed in apologetically. 

“Sorry, so sorry.” He whispered back up at his wife. He cautiously opened one eye, and started to use the couch to prop himself up when he didn’t hear the wailing or the toddler shuffling awake like he feared. The relief was short lived until he looked at the package. “Huh, everything I ordered already came.” The werewolf frowned and looked at the mess on the floor, then back to the package Cassie held. Now examining it more closely he was unable to keep the quick grimace of surprise when he saw the address. “Oh, huh, this is from an old friend. His family is living in Arizona now I guess.” He made his voice calm and neutral. All the while doing internal math wondering if his old friend got out of jail early for good behavior and sent it or got his family to do it. Which lead to more wondering how his address got out and what could be inside.

With the office mostly cleared out, Cassie took most of Addie’s nap time to move things for the new baby up into that room. That meant gifts, packages, and hand-me-downs. She was starting to get a solid idea on what she wanted the nursery theme to be too, and had in secret already picked up a few items. She figured Lilo wouldn’t mind, especially since he’d already gotten a forest nursery with Addie. Cassie was sitting on a spare fold up chair in the room, opening a few boxes that she’d had Lilo bring out of storage. And then the doorbell rang, Cassie stiffened holding her breath waiting to see if Addie would wake, but she didn’t hear anything from the toddlers room.

Cassie put down her items and hurried downstairs to open the door to another package. She frowned, looking at it before picking it up. She hadn’t ordered anything. “Lilo?” She called, a little softer than normal wandering into the living room and looking for him, “Do you know what this is? I don’t recognize the sender address?”

And with that being said, there was a loud crash of glass in the brief silence that followed the barkeeper’s threats before the man joined chip tooth on the floor, landing over him with a soft thud of a limp body falling atop another body. Ryden stood behind the barkeeper with the handle of a heavy beer pint still around his knuckles. The glass itself had shattered against the back of the barkeeper’s head. Behind Ryden, the other two from the chip tooth’s gang were a groaning, bloody mess on the floor, chair parts littered all around them. 

“Sorry, mate.” Ryden mumbled to the barkeep, picking up whatever weapon he held a second ago. The groan that was his response told that the guy was also a supernatural and luckily a tough one. But nevertheless he was not getting up from that hit in the head right away, surely not fast enough to call the cops.

“Yo, Lilo! Shake ‘um off! We gotta scoot!” Ryden warned, stomping a foot against the floor to give Lilo a hint on what to do. The dude had a fucking metal leg. Better fucking use it! Ryden was there to catch the men who held Lilo back with the taser stick the moment Lilo managed to get them off himself. If Ryden couldn’t make the taser stick work, he’ll beat them with it instead, so help him God.

Lilo, under normal circumstances, would stand there with his mouth agape. Startled that Ryden would go after the bartender. Lilo had been out of the game and started to think of this in terms of Soapberry people and outsiders; Chip-tooth was an outsider and fair game, the bartender was part of Soapberry. Plus he kind of liked the guy.

These were not normal circumstanced. 

“Oye!” Lilo pushed back against the men that held him. His metal foot lifted up, then came down hard on lefty’s toes. No one, not vampire or werewolf, could hear the crack of bone about the shouts and other crashing things in the bar. Lilo could feel the man’s grip loosen. That was enough.

He wrenched himself free, growling as he did. “Ryden!” Lilo crunched down harder on the broken toe. Ryden was right there to catch hold of Lefty. “Hah! That’s my man!” Lilo continued pushing himself out to the reach of one so he could crack his fist against Righty’s jaw. It didn’t need to be much him all Lilo needed to do was hurt them just enough to discourage being followed. Just enough hurt. The truth was with Ryden there backing him up he didn’t really need to hurt anyone at all. He just needed to run for it. But the more punches landed.

It was invigorating. It got his blood up. The violence, adrenaline, growling and cracking. Each blow that landed reminded him of a time when he was younger and when he loved this sort of thing. Why he loved it. 

Then, even in heat of it, Lilo could hear the sirens in the distance. They ‘why’ he stopped all this and put it behind him for years came crashing down on his shoulders. He turned to Ryden, teeth gritted. 

“Shit. There’s a back door to this place right?” His eyes scanned the area. “Side door? Roof top?”

Cassie’s form still sat still and attentive and Lilo came rounding back to her. The dark wolf’s head remained tilted in question. Her yellow eyes only flicked when the other wolf barked and Cassie stood nuzzling his side for a moment before moving closer to where the thickness of the fog began. She was slightly concerned by it, but curious all the more and Cassie only looked back at Lilo one last time with perked ears till she leaped into the fog and practically disappeared.

She didn’t know what would meet her on the other side. Cassie hoped it was just more forest, and some strange weather anomaly had taken place. And it was…more forest. But there was something distinctly different about it. Before the wolf even got a moment to try and decipher what sort of magic she smelt (it permeated through the air and practically buzzed in the soil beneath her paws) hands were on her.

The wolf yelped, curling inward on instinct, but the hands were soft and gentle and then she felt something light go around her neck. She bared her teeth her fear, but the few faces she glanced up at seemed unaffected by the display. “Oh she’s beautiful.” A young blonde with honey colored locks cooed, another blonde and brunette nodded along with her, “I’ve always wanted one.”

One of the girls elbowed her, “We’ve always wanted one. We’re sharing her. A she-wolf. Can you imagine how jealous the other sisters will be.” Cassie’s ears flattened at that. Who’s pet had she just become? But then the thing around her neck wasn’t even a collar or lead of sorts it was just…flowers. Her yellow eyes stared at the trio of them, her hair bristling slightly. They were glowing. Some sort of ethereal beings.  This was some sort of…Fae territory and Cassie hated it.

Lilo had really been enjoying the day. Time in nature. Alone with Cassie. The warmth of her breath and body had hardly left him when he heard the yelp.

He didn’t think twice before following Cassie deep into the fog. He plowed forward, seeing only blank grey as he rushed back and forth, barking and growling at nothing. He had rushed in blind, and the fact he hadn’t heard anything past the initial yelp only terrified him further. 

If he had the voice to speak it he’d be crying out desperately for Cassie. Following the traces of his wife’s wolfy scent he came out of the fog snarling and looking around frantically. He made an awful racket, nearly trailing wisps of white into a much more flowery clearing. 

“Oh sister watch out. This one looks touched with some sickness.” One of the girls spoke, taking the elbow of the fae-girl that held Cassie’s flower leash. She frowned. 

“Eek!” The fair-haired fae-girl pulled back away from Lilo. Tugging at Cassie as she did. Lilo, as a wolf, paused. His hard work, conditioning his violent tendencies to not snap at vulnerable human shaped persons, was at odds with his instinct to protect. “Oh horrible beast.” She smirked then, at odds with her sudden fright. “That one can be your pet. I’ll keep the she-wolf.”

“Don’t joke about that.” The teased girl chastised the other one with a playful slap. “Poor thing has something dreadful caught on it’s hind leg.” Her eyes narrowed. “What is that?”

Cassie watched Lilo get used to the prosthetic leg in his wolf form for a moment, her tail wagging low and languidly back and forth. When the other wolf barked and growled playfully, Cassie yipped back and started to chase after him again. Only when Lilo stopped to blink at her, the dark wolf didn’t pause with him but continued into the bushes and trees of the mysterious forest. If she could have snickered at her husband, Cassie would have. It was supposed to be a race, that would show him to stop and stare at her.

Still, once in the cover of the forest Cassie didn’t go too far, she dropped on the ground twisting her body so that some of the fallen leaves got stuck to her coat. It was the best way to take in the scents of the new surroundings. And they were extremely new surroundings. Almost untouched in a way, especially by other wolves, but then maybe she was just so used to the parks and groves around town the island was like a clean slate.

Her ears twitched as she laid on her side watching for Lilo, and then the wolf’s yellow eyes shifted off into the distance where fog seemed to be forming almost out of nowhere, spilling slightly out of a cluster of trees. Cassie tilted her head sharply in curiosity and sat up staring off at the strange sight, not planning to investigate until Lilo noticed it as well. They didn’t need to literally lose each other in the forest.

Lilo bounded through the forest. Miles of untouched wildlife, because the pristine nature of the island guarded by magic and mystery. If he was still in his human form he would have told Cassie this was their best idea yet (besides the marriage and the baby), stopped to admire the roses. As it was he had to fight to keep up with Cassie now that he gave her the upper hand.

He panted, happily, mouth lolled open. Fighting against all the brand new smells that called to him, trying to distract him from the objective. It was becuase of this new landscape, unusual scents, that he didn’t notice Cassie laying down at first. He jumped ahead of her, head looking this way and that. Whining when he couldn’t find her. 

The wolf assuming he lost her in the fog. His ears lay flat against his head. Growling at the far-away but slowly encroaching fog. Then his ears perked up, he looked behind him catching the familiar scent and the movement of Cassie sitting up. He barked at her, happy she was there even though he so clearly lost. His eyes focused away from the rolling thick grey fog.

Now this was what Ryden was really good at - violence had always been his one true vice. This alone would’ve gotten him far in the criminal world, if his conscience hadn’t kicked in at some point. He was a compilation of every badass fighting scene in action movies, and he didn’t need no stuntman, now even more so since he’d acquired supernatural powers.  

Above the chaos, he could be heard cackling evilly every time he landed a blow or cussing loudly whenever he received one. He knew how to use the group’s numbers against them; dodge to have the fist land on the person trying to grab him from behind, sidestep to hide behind someone and use them as a body shield, pick up chairs and furniture like Jackie Chen to gain advantage, play dirty, be unpredictable, get a blow in that mattered and didn’t just slap a bitch. 

Surrounded as he was by four men, all of them big, tough and flaunting superpowers, he didn’t make it look like he was at a disadvantage at all. One werewolf stepped from the back. The moment he’d grabbed Ryden, he went over his shoulder, tossed at one of the men in the front. They scrambled to pick themselves up, a pile of tangled limbs. Other two swung at Ryden almost simultaneously. For one, he ducked his head low, the fist flying over his head. The other, he received in the ribs but he was already a tense ball of rock hard muscle for it to hurt too much. The street brawler in him knew how to accept blows, curl in on himself to withstand a hit. 

The one who swung a fist over his head was pushed back with a side-kick and then Ryden was picking up a chair. The man who hit him on the ribs jumped back and avoided the first swing. But the two who were on the floor a moment ago didn’t, and it crashed into them, shattering and bringing them down again.

The other two though were more than eager to listen to chip tooth’s commands. Pissed that they hadn’t brought Ryden down even with the odds of four against one, they turned to Lilo. He was their target anyway. Leaving Ryden to beat the other two maniacally with what was left of the chair he held, they charged at Lilo, one at each side, canines bared and fists raised.

Someone sure sounded like they were having fun. Even with all the chaos, a cacophony of hits, grunts and screams, Lilo could hear that much.

“Fuh-!” He  grunted. Unable to hit the hard ‘ck’ of the curse with all the wind knocked out of him. Some one had smashed into his side from behind. He never even saw the two coming; he should have. Should have never taken his eyes of them, or left his back exposed. Stupid. But Lilo didn’t have time to lament or think about how out of practice he was at this. He stumbled to the side and another werewolf was already grappling at him. 

Lilo gasped for air, pulling in a long breath and swiping at the strangers face with claws extended. His claws dug streaks into the other man’s chest, but his win was short lived as he felt strong hands around his wrists, fighting to pin his arms behind his back--leave him exposed. 

“Ahahaha!” Chip-tooth clapped loud enough so Lilo could hear him. Lilo growled, then grunted as another punch landed, curling his stomach. “Hah!” Chip laughed again. Lilo struggled looking for an opening, looking for Ryden. Then, just as chip was about to clap his hands together again he stopped and dropped his hands. Body convulsing as chip tooth’s eyes rolled back into his head, exposing just the whites.

The asshole finally fell, and Lilo could see what was behind the sudden change. The bartender held up a kind of stick, pointed directly at where chip-tooth’s back just was. From context clues alone Lilo figured it was some kind of magic taser staff, or whatever. Made sense enough to have it in a a magic bar.

“Hey! Don’t care what this is about. Don’t care who started in. No fighting in my bar. Stop now or I’m calling the cops.”

It was nice to meet someone who seemed genuinely happy, so many people were so sad now a days. 

“That’s so sweet, how long have you two been together?” He asked innocently, he was so used to living in Calgary that he didn’t always remember that people had tragic back stories in this town, like a lot of tragic back stories. Though he couldn’t really complain he had a slight one too, but that wasn’t the point.

Nathan didn’t think before he took off after the leg thief, he may not be a werewolf, but he had run track and was pretty fast. “Stay there! I’ll be right back!” He yelled back at the fallen wolf. The first thing he thought when he took off after the thief was ‘Why he was doing this’, the second thing was ‘oh shit trash can.’ He vaulted over the trash can  and only stumbled a little as he landed on the other side. He had ran track, not done hurdles, ok.

He  caught up with the thief as they rounded the corner at the end of the street. only a little behind the man by a few feet, he made the last few strides and leaped jumping to tackle the perp.

“Whoa! Hey!” Lilo nearly toppled. Then he just gently wobbled with the force that Nathan left him with. He shimmied over, grabbing onto a store front as he watched the scene play out in front of him. The werewolf’s eyes widened as he watched his new atronach friend preform moves that looked like tri-athlete training.

“Holy shit.” Lilo whispered to himself as he meandered slowly behind Nathan. He lost track of the two figures but he was coming up on the atronach and the theif, slowly.

“Holy shit, dude!” The theif yelled a lot more loudly. His dirty long blonde hair peeking out from under his beanie as he wiggled and fought to try at get away from his pursuer. “You just went on Jason Bourne on me. What’d I do? Steal your girlfriend?”

rydenbolt‌:

Now Ryden had a clear picture of how this would go. Chip tooth they had decently spooked and sure, Lilo was everything but in daddy mode now. But when a few chair legs scraped against the floor as the four… no, six people by the sound of it suddenly sprang up to their feet, Ryden knew they had to act fast. He was gonna wreck his second bar since he got here. God, please don’t let it be that blondie that arrests him again.

He released chip tooth and slowly straightened up to face the opposing gang outnumbering them by four werewolves. Just as Ryden had suspected, the guy brought a few of his pals with. Only one was taller than Ryden. Good. That one will fall first. “Don’t think he will listen to ya, mate. We got company.” He warned Lilo in an attempt to bring him back from the heat of the moment. Gotta think straight now. 

“Bullshit!” One of the guys spat, cracking his knuckles. “There ain��t no twenty of you. Not in here at least.” Well, it seemed like someone had an ounce of brain matter in their noggin to see through Ryden’s bluff. 

Ryden grinned wickedly. “Well, he’s one.” He pointed at Lilo. “I count for the other nineteen.” The sharp smirk was wiped clean. Think straight? Fuck that.

He lunged in, guns a’blazing. In cases like these, a surprise was an advantage. The tallest of the men fell when Ryden delivered a clean, powerful uppercut head on to his chin. The dude hardly had a time to blink. However, Ryden had successfully gotten himself surrounded by the other five - little did they know that they’ve just caged a wild animal, and he was about to rattle their bars.

In the meantime, chip tooth snapped out of it and grabbed Lilo by the collar while he was distracted. Twisting the fabric until it started to choke, his other arm drew back to deliver a blow to Lilo’s face, unless stopped.

Before Lilo knew what was happening he was in the middle of a fight. Thankfully he had Ryden at his side. That whole ‘being worth 19 guys’ thing might have been bravado but as far as Lilo concerned the young wolf was living up to it.

“C’mon man. C’mon you fucking pricks, huh? Show me what you got.” Lilo was doing his part too. Shouting into the fray. Eventually just one loud voice shouting nonsense into the chaos, just one of them. The regular bar patrons were shouting. The staff was bound to be pissed. But the more immediate threat to the two rogue wolfs was this pack of criminals coming at them. 

Someone landed on the floor but Lilo didn’t have time to dwell on that because chip-tooth snatched at his collar. It tightened around his neck. He chose to spit in his attacker’s face in lieu of protecting his own. The blow landed, Lilo felt the heavy sting of it, the blunt pain and dribble of blood from his nose. 

The pain was just settling in. His body was getting used to it. Lilo grinned and pivoted his weight. Prosthetic swinging into the side of chip-tooth’s knee. The heavy metal bar cracked into bone; bar one out. His attacker’s grip faltered. The man dropped to one side, one leg unable to sustain his weight. 

“Fucking kill them. Fuck!” Chip-tooth yelled out the order. Clearly going against commands but he was too pissed and in too much pain to really care.

“Oh ha, ha-“ Cassie scrunched her nose at him tilting her head from side to side in a playful rhythm so that her hair swayed and poured over her shoulders. She gave a short yelp when Lilo suddenly dove forward to shift, stumbling a step ahead and giving the happy panting wolf a quick stern look before knelt and grabbed into his fur to begin and put on the new prosthetic.

She grumbled slightly, “Gah, Lilo stand still. You’re worse than Blue.” Cassie had to wrestle with him and his excited wiggles for a little bit before the prosthetic all snapped into place. “There.” She breathed, finally finishing her own undressing and saying to Lilo, “Last one to the forest brush is venison.” Cassie dropped to the sand on her black paws and started to prance through the thick, slightly sinking terrain, kicking up sand behind her paws. She was going purposely a little slow and watching back for Lilo most of the way.

Lilo was almost as bad a blue. Too smart, too excitable, and too in love with his wife to really sit still. His wolf self wanted to give Cassie happy licks all over her hands as thank-yous even before she finished helping him with the metal prosthetic. He did a few happy jumps in the sand to get use to the movement of metal in unison with his own limbs. 

Rein had done a marvelous job. It felt almost alive with it’s movements. He didn’t have time to marvel however because as soon as he was set up he was being challenged. Cassie shifted and far ahead of him. He barked happily, his ears perked and muscles itching for the competition. With a playful half growl his powerful legs dug into the ground. Tearing up the soil as he sunk into it and bounding forward with the pistoning of the prosthetic. If he could have laughed as he passed his kind wife, who was going slow enough for him to catch up and surpass a little bit. As it was he stopped to look back and blink at her twice,

Cassie nodded when Lilo confirmed he would need some assistance. She turned, half undressed herself as she dug into her backpack in the boat for the prosthetic. Cassie held it in one hand turning back to Lilo stark naked. She only pulled back the tiniest bit before blinking at his smug little expression. She bit the side of her mouth a small dimple of amusement appearing before Cassie turned somewhat instinctively looking around just to double check and make sure no one was spying on them.

“Well, I  certainly think that’d be best.” Cassie responded holding out the prosthetic a little checking the buttons and clamps before she raised a brow at him, “As long as you promise not to nip me.” It was a tease and she walked a little closer nodding towards him again, “Go on then.”

Lilo smirked and wiggled some more, playfully eyeing up his wife as she began to join him in the birthday-suit club. At this point he’d seen Cassie plenty of times but he felt it was still a treat.

“I can’t make any hard and fast promises when you look good enough to eat.” He laughed again at his own lame innuendo. Then Lilo winked and doffed his prosthetic, placing it less than tenderly into the boat. He didn’t hand on Cassie for balance for long. He was too eager for this, too eager even for more playful looks or innuendo. He dove forward; diving into the wolf form that greeted him happily, cracking bones, stretching skin and sudden onset hair all over his body.

He’s gotten so used to Soapberry and it’s relative safety he didn’t bother to look around, not due to the nudity or the shift. A coffee-cream colored wolf looked up at Cassie, mouth open and panting happily.

Cassie grinned back knowingly of herself before she nodded in silent agreement with Lilo. She was only glad the island was not a long ride away and could already feel it begin to slow and be pulled in by the gentle tide. She set her oar down and carefully stepped out, only wincing slightly as her shoes sunk a little into the damp sand. “I’d say, that’s the best plan of action.” Cassie spoke, kicking off her shoes and tossing them in the boat before she started to drag it up and away. “We’ll just leave everything in there. It’ll make it easier.”

When the boat was safely up and away from the pull of the water Cassie began to undo the few buttons on her dress, “You need help?” She offered, motioning in particular to Lilo’s prosthetic. A moment later her lip curled upwards, “”Hopefully there are no screaming deer here, huh?”

Lilo brushed his hands together, rubbing away the sand that already coated his palms. Only this much activity and sand was already getting everywhere. He laughed and sighed looking over at Cassie.

“Ahah, I hope nothing screams. At us.” He tugged his shirt over his head, tossing it into the dingy. Already half naked and working on his shorts he nodded at Cassie. “Yeah. I am maybe gonna need some support to get into the prosthetic. I mean Rein did a great job of making it and we can stand it up in the sand real good but, ay, the wolf can only make so many adjustments without thumbs.” He laughed at his own lame joke. Shorts falling to the ground before he stepped out to them, naked except for his shoes, waggling his eyebrows at Cassie. No once of shame or humility.

“Mind if I change first?”

Cassie carefully stepped into the boat with the second paddle in hand taking a seat before Bryan began to lower them down. She held herself against the seat of the little dingy, but didn’t feel the sway as nervously as Lilo did. She didn’t realize of course that a boat on choppy waters may not be the best environment for him until he made that little laugh and glanced over at her. Cassie felt a momentary wave of panic, pulling harder on her life vest jacket. Where she usually had no problem picking up an slack, she was not a strong swimmer herself.

“A flare gun…” She murmured in echo, glancing at it before she started rowing slowly with Lilo. “We won’t need that.” Cassie laughed with a slightly crooked smile. “But I vote we skip the beach and go straight for the woods.” She admitted quickly, looking back at the large resort boat that started to slowly inch away, “I’d say I’ve seen enough water for a while. What about you?” Her blue eyes scanned the surface of discussed water quickly before she raised her brows and added, “Oh I grabbed your wolf prosthetic too. That way you can get some real adventuring done.”

“Ayyy, Lobocita you think of everything.” Lilo smiled over at Cassie, eyeing the prosthetic he nearly left behind. He was holding the oar more confidently now, steadily drawing it through the water as he hoped Cassie didn’t catch his momentary panic. “Hah, I think this time on the water has given me boat brain or something. It’ll be nice to get on solid ground and really smell that good pacific northwest forest smell.” He grinned, and let the oar drag through the water to slow them down as they approached the beach. He’d watched a nature special in his show.

“We gonna drag the boat up away from the shore and leave our clothes in it? What do you say?”

Cassie gave a little whine and pouted her lip yanking the sandwich away when Lilo managed to get a bite in himself. She wanted to grumble at him to get his own, but knew it was a fight not worth having to begin with. She finished off the crumbs and dusted off her hands before she turned with his arms still loosely around her waist. “Fancy, mysterious, is that was you like?” Cassie wiggled her eyebrows before breaking away. “I’ll grab a few things from the room and meet you back out here. We can talk about our island itinerary as we row to the land.”

And Cassie really wasn’t gone more than a few minutes stuffing a change of clothes for both her and Lilo into a small backpack she could sling over her shoulder. She came back out onto the dock seeing they hand already inched closer to Grizzle, and the merman Bryan was working on a few ropes for the dingy. “There’s a few life vests in there should ya need it.” He pointed out. “We’ll come back around sunset to pick ya two up. That leaves a few good hours to roam. Grizzle ain’t too friendly at night-“ He chuckled, glancing between the pair, “Not that wolves couldn’t look after themselves. But I always did prefer a safe feather bed.” He smiled crookedly which Cassie half returned and then Bryan stepped to the side, handing a paddle to Lilo. “Well in ya goes and I’ll lower ya down.”

Lilo licked his lips and winked playfully. Hoping that a dash of roguish charm might help Cassie forgive him. Cassie, as always, had the best plans for things and soon they were ready and standing beside the dingy. He held the oar and grunted an affirmation, the manliest affirmation he could muster for Bryan. Who, as far as merms went, seemed manly and sea-weathered enough to know about ropes and tides even if he liked feather beds.

“Yeah, sounds like a plan.” Lilo continued nodding, tightening his life vest as he did. Though he considered himself well versed enough in the outdoors, as it pertained to wolf things, Lilo was the biggest landlubber on the boat. Even getting into the dingy that was strange for him. Everything was so--not flat, and it bobbed. Bryan waited for everyone to be seated before lowering the dingy, which jerked a bit. “Careful there Bry!” Lilo gripped the edge, then tried to laugh it off as he looked up toward Cassie.

“Alright. No worries. The water is clear and calm now, it may get choppy at dusk but nothing that wolves couldn’t row through. There’s a flare gun in the emergency pack next to where we had the life vests.”

When Cassie realized not all of their honeymoon was going to be spent on the island she was initially confused, but then pleasantly thrilled. The resort boat that seemed to float around wherever Grizzle just so desired to be was lovely and humbly ran. Lilo was correct to think Cassie would loathe to leave it. When she had spa and pampering and practically whatever she wanted at a simple request going into the thick forest of Grizzle practically wanted to make her laugh. But this was Lilo’s honeymoon as well, and Lilo did like that sort of thing.

She trailed behind him out onto the deck of the boat in a more flowy sundress and pair of flats despite the dropping temperatures. The air was nice and clean and Cassie was finishing nibbling on a sandwich from the café when Lilo looked back at her with his question. Her brow raised, “Hiking? I didn’t bring-“ Cassie’s lips quirked and she couldn’t help but laugh at herself. “Oh. No, duh. As wolves.” She rolled her eyes, as if to say ‘I knew that’ though it was clear she’d momentarily forgotten. “Sure. The fog isn’t so thick. Let’s just bring a change of clothes. And make sure we let someone know so we’re not lost.” Cassie wiggled her fingers “Ohhh. Into the abyss.”

“Mmmm,” Lilo didn’t really hum to himself. The gentle rumbling noise in his chest was more like a drawn out appreciation of Cassie in flowing florals. The ocean air and boat scene must have been good for her because she was glowing. Of course Lilo thought that every time he looked at Cassie, he grinned. “We can stroll around, maybe frolic on the beach. If you don’t feel like going for a wolfy run through those forests.” He offered the compromise even though she already agreed.

“I like the sound of that. The abyss.” His grin grew wider and he stepped closer to her. Hands finding his way around her again. “Sounds fancy, and mysterious.” He wiggled his eyebrows then craned his neck playfully to take a bite of her sandwich. “I’ll go talk to Bryan about getting a dingy to the Island, and he’ll know to look for us later.”

Honeymooning || Cassie & Lilo

Lilo took a deep breath of ocean air and looked over Grizzle island. It was still visible, if lightly mottled with fog. The floating resort, run by a family of genial selkies and one merman (brother-in-law) promised to be an all inclusive spa and resort--tending to client’s every need.

They delivered, and Lilo felt practically pampered standing on the deck of the ship with his newly purchased boat shoes and tan shorts. He was the sort of person who went on fancy boats for vacation now, never mind it was minutes away from his house. He had to imagine that Cassie wouldn’t want to leave.

“Het,” Lilo leaned and looked back to see if his new wife was behind him, “you think today might be a good day to go on a hike? Or do you feel like staying in?”

He hadn’t been around the werewolf for very long, but Cooper was already at ease with Lilo and his demeanour. He would pretty much chat away with anyone as long as they were pleasant enough, but something about Lilo just set him at ease. There was something gentle in him. “Of course. I’d love to do something like that. I mean, I don’t have a backyard, or any kind of yard at the moment, but if someone can loan me one I’m sure I can loan my BBQ skills in turn,” he joked with a sincere smile. 

Lilo’s question wasn’t too personal, and of course, it made sense. There were many reasons supernaturals might be a little cautious about humans and want to know more about them. “It’s not pushy. I had a… shall we say an encounter with the supernatural. I met a guy who was a witch through that, and he suggested this place to help me… adjust, re-examine my life, move on? I think a little of all that.” He wasn’t on the defensive because Lilo gave him no reason to be, but he had told his sad story so much that he just didn’t feel like diving into it again. 

“Congratulations on the wedding. Yeah, I mean learning about all of this is an adjustment, but I find it exciting and interesting more than something to freak out over.” After what Cooper had been through, being around a talkative werewolf with an adorable witch for a daughter was a breeze. 

Lilo nodded in acceptance. It all sounded very reasonable to him and so he said so.

“Yeah that sounds right. Nothing more helpful to re-examine life and all the things you think you know then to surround yourself with all kinds of different things.” He grinned. “I’m not gonna pry to much about what you are moving on from. Mostly I am just glad to be sure you weren’t that type of human that is too uncomfortable around supes or being some sort of magic tourist.” Lilo worked the napkin into his beard. Dabbing at the grease. 

“Ah, not that I thought you were, or that it is not understandable.” Lilo’s gentle laugh couched his correction. He hoped he hadn’t come off as too harsh before. “Weddings are exciting man. But boy are they hard work. You would not believe how it’s got my nerves up.”

That was all Ryden needed to know - that daddy wolf was willingly out of whatever he’d been involved in before, that he didn’t want no part of this and that this bloke and his envelope were a bother he’d rather avoid. He nodded discretely when Lilo directed his pleading gaze at him, just to show him that he understood, no questions asked, no matter what Lilo did to earn the money that was being shoved under his nose. There was only one thing they needed to do right now - chase the intruder out of ‘their territory’ and make sure he knew that he should never come back.

Since whatever the other dude was letting out of his mouth didn’t matter Jack squat anymore, Ryden’s eyes were on Lilo and his next move. He didn’t miss the way his hand lingered on the hefty wad of cash but he wasn’t about to judge Lilo for it. Earning an honest living was hard, especially if you came from humble origins and had a family to feed. Ryden knew that well enough. He could bet that both of them could share a bucketful of nasty shit they did for a bit of cash between them and even have some left over. But that didn’t mean they should stay in the gutter forever. People change and find different ways to get by.

Lilo just about ready to snap was enough of a cue for Ryden. Just as the other were hissed out his warnings, Ryden didn’t wait for the prick to react. He lashed out, the chair he sat on falling back with a clatter as he got up, hands finding fistfuls of the chip tooth’s jacket. He had to control his grip so that the table he slammed him onto wouldn’t give under the impact. Their drinks fell off and glass shattered. Somebody yelped with surprise in the sudden silence in the background.

“Now ya listen to me here, cabron.” Ryden drawled, slowly, as if talking to a simpleton. His pronunciation of the foreign word was by far inadequate compared to Lilo’s but it would hardly matter while looking at the toothy, overly sweet grin he squeezed it through. “My mate here says no. So ‘nless ya want his whole new pack of twenty down upon ya in a matter o’minutes, kickin’ yer butt straight outta this pretty little town, ya better call off yer bunch o’mangy mutts and scoot. Dig?” He snarled threateningly into his face, an elbow right under his throat in a vice-tight lock. The threat was a bluff but Ryden had scanned the perimeter during their brief conversation and noticed a group of strangers sitting at a table in a corner, sparing them too many curious glances. It would be dangerous not to suppose that the bloke didn’t arrive with some backup.

Chip tooth faltered. What Ryden said clearly rattled the man, and disagreed with whatever information he’d been given about Lilo. But with one other wolf to back up Lilo, there was bound to be more. His eyes flickered to the table of strangers Ryden clocked correctly. Chip-tooth would be a horrible poker player.

“How about you just take all of these hints we’ve been giving you and you go.” Lilo jumped up. Emboldened by Ryden’s support and too angry to even notice that the messenger had back up. “Tell who ever is holding your leash you tried and failed, buddy.” Lilo picked up the envelope of money and threw it into the asshole’s chest. There was some rustling in the background of the bar, but Lilo was too out of practice in altercations such as these to notice. “Before we kick your ass.”
