Welcome to Gaia! ::

(First!)

If Bryn still had a tail, it would have been wagging- just towards the end of the previous summer he had finally lost the last thing that was definitely not human. Now being permitted to go out in public during broad daylight he was constantly looking for a reason to go out and meet people outside his family. Extensive and loving his family might be, there were so many things out in the world to see, smell, and possibly pee on. It was a childhood habit his parents were still trying to correct.

Bounding down the stairs and bursting through the door to the apartment- which they had moved into after his brothers had shipped out- he went straight to his mother with the mail and an invitation to a pool party, "Can we go? Oh please! Please say we can go!" His sister walked up and took the paper from him, her critical gaze reading the description with mild disdain.

"Bryn, it's probably just a lousy pool party. It's just going to have a bunch of boring grown up's." She tossed the paper on the counter and stared at her brother as though he were the most immature person she had ever seen. He didn't quite understand why she had become so volatile lately, one moment wanting to wrestle like they always had and the next wanting to rip his head off. He vaguely recalled his parents homeschooling him about sex education, having a lack of interest in anything beyond 'tab A goes into slot B,' all Bryn could think of was something about hormones.

"Yeah, and I've never been to one."

"Well mom already said she's taking me to get my ears pierced today. And Dad never goes to those so I guess you're stuck. Stop being such a baby." Bryn could handle disappointment, and there was always the small hope that may be just this once his father would go to a human event. What the young werewolf couldn't take was being called an infant, and at that point tackled his sister to the floor.

"You take that back!" Holding her by the collar he was about ready to shake an apology- or anything that resembled one- out of his fraternal twin, "Davina, you take that back!"

"Get off of me! I swear I'll kick your a** you d**k!"

Usually their mother waited for their conversations to peter out before talking, it wasn't because she didn't want to interrupt but because she liked to know she had Bryn's attention. By the time her youngest son had her only daughter on the floor she decided that this time their chatter wasn't going to come to a nice stop anytime soon, and might in fact upset their neighbors. With an unnatural strength she grabbed Bryn by the back of his shirt and pulled him up to his feet, and with a foot pinned her daughter to the floor, "That is enough from both of you. We have neighbors now, and I will not tolerate your fighting and screaming. Davina, stop antagonizing your brother. Bryn, I have no problem with you going to this event, but you will have to talk to your father about the particulars. Until then you will go to your room and study for your math test on monday." sensing that they had both calmed enough to behave she let them both go, "Now, I am going to get back to making supper. And I don't want to hear either of you above a normal indoor volume. Do I make myself clear?"

"Yes mum." They spoke in unison and Bryn got out of there as quickly and quietly as he could, he hated math but would rather study than face his mothers wrath. Later he did speak to his father about going to the party, and was very surprised when he was permitted to go by himself, "You aren't a puppy Bryn. Just remember not to take insults from a human seriously, don't get possessive of the buffet table, be careful around the leech, and don't you dare pee anywhere but a washroom."
