Eric wasn't trying to be rude but you always end up sounding rude when you ask a question like that. She then talked about how he only worked there during the summer which may have been a bit odd but not necessarily a weird thing so he wasn't to worried about her talking about it. He wasn't sure why she wanted to help him it was usual for him to have some one be nice to him he felt like if he said yes he was being needy maybe even selfish but if he said no he could sound rude. Interacting with her like this was way different then watching her from the woods or talking to some one in the book store. "A little." Eric hadn't eaten anything in a while so he hungry.
If you're chilly take my sweater (Private with FReak) Actually I need that or I may shift

Katrina nodded and ordered some food, just enough for them both. Once it arrived she grabbed it and offered him half. "You gonna tell me about yourself eric?"She asked. Since he was a stranger. She was trying her best to be polite as most of her 'friends' were just from School and she never really talked to them much. So this could be her chance.
-
Eric took what she offered trying to figure out what he should say and what he should. "Well as you know I work at the book shore during the summer and right now I'm saving for college." Eric wish he could go to college but that would be the challenge of the century for him since he would have to worry about the cold even durig the summer because air conditioners turning he room into the aritic.
-
Katrina listened to him, taking it in "ah ok.."she hummmed "I'm being shipped off..some day soon my oaremts will just tell me to go"she sighed having no control over her life
-
Eric knew what it was like not to have control over his life he had to built everything around his "condition" he could barely go anywhere without worrying about things being to cold. "Hmm." He didn't know what else to say to her he knew she life kind of sucked after watching her for as long as he did but he was not going to tell her that and sound like a creep.
-
Katrina bit her lip when it went silent, she wasn't good at sociallising. She ate up her food before clearing up. God she just wanted her wolf to show up and keep her calm. This was getting weird, he never missed a day. She took her drink and sat on her porch. Just hoping.
-
Eric finished eating and moved to clea up his plate and such. He shuffled over to the window to see her looking for him with made him frown lightly. This was the one time he wished he was wolf and he was outside in those woods outside her house he would have asked who she was looking for but he knew.
-
Eventually she came in, but it was dark now. She sighed "Got my hopes up"She breathed to herself. Honestly she just wanted him, some reassurance that he was ok because it worried her. If Eric had said he was that wolf..eventually she would believe him. "Uhm..You can stay in my room but we have to share a bed or you can have my bed and ill take the sofa if your a personal space kinda guy"Despite how shit she felt. This stranger had been shot in her garden and seemed not to have a home to go to.

Bump
-
Eric watched her with the same sad look on her features till she came back inside the house. He wanted to tell her that he was alright and he didn't leave her but he could just spit that out like it was a normal thing to say. "I can sleep on the couch it's fine." He wasn't going to invade her home more then he already did plus he would be a gentleman if he slept in her bed while she slept on the couch.
Sorry about that thought I replied))
-
"Alright...as long as your not too cold or uncomfortable.."She brought out some blankets and pillows. "Here..If you have to go home before I wake tomorrow just leave a note."She went to the stairs "Goodnight."Honestly she would of loved to have known that Eric was her wolf. Sure she would be shocked but jesus. She was lonely. She went to bed. The next morning, she was fast asleep and didn't wake from her nightmare.
-
Eric couldn't sleep that night he was so torn he wanted to tell her do badly he knew how lonely she was and he kind of msde it worse by not telling her. Sooner then he expected morning came the rays of sun shinning through the windows. "Maybe I should make breakfast." He had learned to cook a while back so he thought this would be a small waynof repaying for letting him stay here it would also help him think some more.
-
Katrina was starting to wake from her nightmare. She sat up and breathed hard with slight tears. She wiped them and grabbed some clothes and had a shower. She changed and ties her hair up into a bun and Put on her glasses. Slowly she walked downstairs as She smelt food. "Eric?"she asked before stepping into the kitchen
-
Eric couls hear her getting up then come down the stairs. "Yes?" He leaned to look at her with a smile on his features. He hoped that he didn't over step his boundaries by doing this.
-
"Your supposed to be resting up"Katrina offered a smile to reasure him that he wasn't doing anything wrong. "But I'd love some scrambled eggs on toast."She hummed wrapping herself up in her cardigan. She took a quick glance outside and grew worried, he wouldn't just leave her. She walked into the kitchen still barefoot as she sat at the breakfast bar.
-
Eric started makijg what she wanted watching as she looked out the window maybe looking for him. "If you don't mind me asking, what are you looking for." He knew she was looking for him but he was still debating telling her he was the wolf and he was okay.
-
She held her head up with her hands before sighing "Its going to sound crazy..But my best friend is a wolf"She replied "He just..sort of watches me..He has theese bright yellow orbs and he just stands there to keep me company while I feed the birds and read or study. Hes been gone two days and Im real worried..After breakfast Im gonna go into the woods see if I can get more information"She told him matter o factly.
-
Eric tried not to smile when she said that he was her best friend but then he got worried when she said she would got out into the woods to look for him. "I'm sure he is fine after all he is your friend he will come back he has been doing it for the past what eight years now." He tensed he realized it was out to late he hoped she wouldn't notice that he said that but he knew it was an impossible wish.
-
Katrina didn't miss a word. "He's never missed two days in a row"she said before glancing st him "what?"she wondered before getting a little scared "how the hell do you know that? Who are you!?"shr grew very defensively
-
Eric regretted his choice of words wanting to hide behind something but he couldn't she heard and was now demanding answers out of him. "Well you see umm.." He couldn't find nay words that could pull into out of this sticky situation he nervously bit at his lips as he tried to figure out something. "Yeah I got nothing." He sighed running a hand through his sandy blonde hair as he looked down at the ground below him he was really nervous now.
