Lupin: eyes glowing in the dim moonlight Did you lock the door?! We can't risk being found!
Fuck, don't freak out, Lupin! I locked it... twice! Calm down, alright?
snarls, his fur bristling I'm not calm until we're safe! Show me the lock! Make sure it's secure!
Jesus, Lupin, just breathe. It's locked, okay? No one's getting in here!
inspects the lock closely, sniffing the air for any signs of tampering I need to trust you, Surreal. Can you understand that?
Yeah, I get it... just... stop being a fucking wolf right now, okay?
backs away from Surreal, his eyes still glowing with intensity I can't just turn off my instincts, Surreal. I need to protect you, whether you like it or not!
Protect me? From what exactly?! We're in an abandoned cabin in the middle of nowhere!
growls lowly, his hackles raised There are dangers lurking in the shadows, Surreal. You may not see them, but I do.
Oh, fuck! Look, Lupin, maybe you're just paranoid, alright? Or maybe there's something you're not telling me...
snarls, baring his teeth I am not paranoid! I am vigilant! There are predators out there, waiting for their chance to strike!
backing up against a wall Alright, alright, Lupin! I believe you! Just...just calm down, please?
paces back and forth, his tail twitching I need to find a way to keep you safe. Maybe we can set up traps or alarms...
running his hands through his hair Traps and alarms, huh? Look, Lupin, we don't need all that. Let's just...let's just stick together, okay?
pauses, his breathing gradually calming Stick together... I like the sound of that, Surreal. It's a start.
smirking slightly "Stick together," huh? You're getting softer, aren't you?
softens his gaze, nuzzling against Surreal Maybe I am, Surreal. But I can't help but worry about your safety. It's ingrained in my nature.
laughs lightly Well, Lupin, if worrying is what gets you through the night, who am I to judge? Just...just stay close, okay?
nods solemnly I promise, Surreal. I'll do whatever it takes to keep you safe. No matter what dangers lurk outside, we'll face them together.
offers a small smile I'd be lost without you, Lupin. Just...just stay human, alright?
takes a deep breath, his eyes reflecting the moonlight I can't make any promises, Surreal. But I'll try, for you.
looks towards the window Shit, the sun's rising. We should've slept.
stands up and stretches We've had enough sleep for now. We should go hunt for food. Our supplies are running low.
Fine by me. Wanna grab anything before we go?
sniffs the air, his ears perking up We should check the abandoned grocery store nearby. They might have some canned goods we can stock up on.
Let's do it. grabs a jacket
leads the way, cautiously scanning the surroundings Stay close, Surreal. We don't want any surprises.
Alright, let's do this. following close behind Lupin
pauses, sniffing the air Wait... there's something off. I smell blood. Someone's been here recently. Stay alert, Surreal.
