longwinded | supernatural things yes.

[It was a centuries old rivalry. As cliche as the entire werewolves versus vampires thing sounds, it's always been a thing. Marked lands and certain territories. John had heard stories as a pup about the rivaling clan, their clan leader mysterious as always. Disappearing for months on end, and coming out only when he absolutely had to.

As John grew he became more curious, venturing on the lines as young adult, and going as far as crossing them when he was almost mature. He wanted to take risks, as next in line to be the Alpha dog he needed to know the lines well. He wanted to know the territories.

It's the dead of winter now as John is exploring, sniffing out where the lines diverge and the territories divide. He's crossed into their ground with full knowledge that he is there. Usually as long as he isn't causing any trouble they don't bother him, but their seem to be a pair of watchful eyes on him tonight as he heads into a moonlit clearing.]

[No he'll be sad if you leave him. But he understands. Dawn and vampires. Not so good.]

Not really. I'm the son of the leader, everyone would rather take me down. So I kind of go off on my own.

If you had manners, you might do better. Challenging strangers and being a little shit ain't doing you favors, kid.

[He glances at him.] Bye. [No see you later. He doesn't intend to see him again.]

From:

longwinded

[Why is it everywhere he goes he gets scolded? He gets scolded so much. Ah, well. Guess there really is no helping it. He won't stop Dave from leaving. For the longest time he'll actually leave Dave alone.

When I say the longest time. I mean like an entire month. Wow. Aren't you proud of him Dave?

The next time Dave is confronted with John- he doesn't pounce on him. Nope. Good mutt. He'll actually stride up next to the vampire in his wolf form. MANNERS??? HE HAS THEM??? But hey if he wants to tousle he won't argue.]

From:

[It was a good month. It was nice and quiet and he quite enjoyed it.

He was also enjoying himself until John showed up. Dave might not need to eat actual food, but that doesn't mean he doesn't enjoy it. Dave is on a roof with apple juice and a sandwich. Why would you bother him when he's enjoying himself?]

From:

longwinded

[He's not even doing anything you stupid smelly vampire. He's just sitting there, watching the sky. Man that sandwich sure does smell good though. Dave should break off a piece for John. He forgot to eat before he came up here.

He might wag his tail a little.

~~Watch this go downhill so fucking fast.~~]

From:

rememberstime

[Dave lets out a suffering sigh.]

Why do you keep coming back? I thought you'd be tired of being shot down at this point. Go make friends with people from your clan or something. [Leave him aloneeeeee.

Nope. He's gonna keep eating his sandwich.]

From:

longwinded

[John sits on his haunches. He really doesn't feel like explaining himself. He isn't really causing any harm this time. He's even behaving like a good dog should.

~~Wait for it this is gonna go so badly......~~]

From:

rememberstime

You not gonna talk now? You seemed pretty talkative to me before. Trying not to fuck this up or something?

From:

longwinded

[Okay fine, he'll morph and stop being an animal. Just for you. He just kind of shrugs.]

I wanted to see you, that was it. Make sure you were still around.

From:

rememberstime

I don't plan on leaving town. [Dave glances at him before taking a swig of his apple juice.] This is where I stay. [Again, not mentioning that he lives or anything.] Until something or someone vanquishes me, I'll be here.

From:

longwinded

Well, this is your clan's territory after all. [And this dumb dog keeps trampling all over it.] Nice to know you won't leave, though.

From:

rememberstime

I've been here too long to consider new turf. [He doesn't care much for change. It'll hit a certain status quo eventually.] And if this is my clan's territory, why do you insist on invading it?

From:

longwinded

Because you're strong, you're a guy who defeated me. I guess you can say I'm kind of hooked on that belief you have to truly thwart someone in battle for you to get even again.

I feel like the last time was a bit unfair of me, I let my rage blind me.

From:

rememberstime

What? So you want to fight me again. Look. I don't really have interest in unneeded fighting. I get enough trouble getting food and dealing with people that don't like me.

The last thing I really need is to get unnecessarily injured because you want to get even.

From:

longwinded

I mean, maybe eventually? Not right now of course there would be no reason to at this very second. [Hrk.]

So I'm guessing you don't really like me hanging around.

From:

rememberstime

Don't take it personally. I don't like anyone hanging around me.

I've had no interest for human contact in a damn long while. [Dave finishes his apple juice and gets to his feet.] I have no need for it.

From:

longwinded

[EYEBROW RAISE.]

I'm not even human. At least I don't consider myself human.

From:

rememberstime

You're more human than I am. [And also missing the point, John.]

I just don't have interest in being social. It's not really my thing. So bye. [Dave is gonna just leave if John doesn't do anything.]

From:

longwinded

[He reaches forward, grabbing onto Dave's shirt. Nope. Not getting away that easy.]

I'm also somewhat tired of dancing around this so, here- Dave? Right? I'm extremely interested in challenging you, but it's not just for territory or reputation.

[...]

From:

rememberstime

So? [Werewolves and vampires do things much different. Dave only has a vague understanding of what werewolves do, but that's because he doesn't care to be more knowledgeable of them.]

From:

longwinded

I find you attractive. [Said with a shrug.]

Something along those lines, and it also kind of means I want to make you mine. [Dominance man, dominance.]
