Gypsy gave her a simple nod then concentrated on finishing her own meal. She wasn't used to catching it when people made passes at her or tried to express interest in her. The only reason she'd caught on with Zephyr was because the demon was more obvious than a brick wall with his passes. She finally sat back and finished sipping at her ale. As usual, she completely missed the looks they got from the males that passed by them. She was oblivious to that kind of look. It was simply the way she was. When one added in her past, it shouldn't have been too surprising that she was this way. Hell, she even missed the attentive look she got from the slave that tried to refill her glass. She simply shook her head and worked on sipping at what she had. After he left, she gave a soft sigh and leaned forward again. "Alright... Get your questions out of the way before we go..." she finally told the girl, making it obvious that she'd seen the questions burning in her eyes for the last few weeks...

Morrigan
Morrigan shook her head, trying to shake away certain thoughts. "My questions are pointless," she said. "There's no use in asking them." She drank the last of her water and then pushed her tray and glass aside. "Let's just focus on finishing my training." Something about Morrigan's attitude was so obviously different that even Gypsy should have no trouble noticing it.

Gypsy sat back in her chair again and tilted her head at the girl for a moment as she sipped at her ale. She finally set the glass on the table and shook her head, "If I send you to this test now, you'll die. You're distracted. Ask. I never said your questions were pointless, just that there would be a time for them. Now is the time," she told her firmly and calmly. She knew she'd changed in that moment on the beach at the swimming area, and changed even more when she'd moved Shade's soul on. But she and Morrigan hadn't actually spoken or even seen each other in two weeks. Gypsy had kept her working hard over that time, even harder on her natural instincts and abilities.

Morrigan
Morrigan sighed and examined Gypsy. "Fine," she said. "What caused this change in you, Gypsy? What happened that made you change so much?" She stood up. "Why don't you ever speak to me about anything besides training? I've done my best to make it clear that I'm here if you need me, that I care about you a lot more than I should. Are you just oblivious? Or do you not care or trust me? I'm having such a hard time figuring you out, Gypsy." She had essentially just admitted her feelings for Gypsy, but she was just so frustrated.

Gypsy gave a shrug of one shoulder and addressed the first issue, "I just found out that my only living relative died. I'd only just met him and was getting to know him and my mother's family. I was starting to get used to having family, learning how to have a family. Now he's gone," she stated simply, knowing Morrigan would understand her current state from that explanation. As for the rest, she actually frowned about it, "What do you mean by caring about me more than you should? I don't understand," she actually asked her that, clearly oblivious. Not simply ignoring signals. Oh no, Gypsy just didn't see the signals. "There's not much to me to figure out, Morrigan. I'm good in a fight and deadly with a blade. What else is there?" she added, her face showing her puzzlement over her last few questions. She really was clueless to a pass unless it was made extremely obvious to her.

Morrigan
Morrigan listened to Gypsy speak and then actually banged her head on the table when Gypsy had to ask what she meant. "You're so oblivious, Gypsy," she said, shaking her head. "I basically just told you that I'm pretty much in love with you, and you didn't get it. How are you so clueless?" She'd managed to keep her cool for a while, but now she was starting to get even more frustrated. Objects around them started to levitate as Morrigan's telekinesis responded to her emtional state. She didn't even realize she was doing it, and it wasn't going to stop until she calmed down a bit. So most of the light objects in the dining area were starting to float around the room, and no one would be able to get them down until Morrigan calmed down.

Gypsy responded with a look of total shock to the revelation. But then she had something more important to think about, namely the stuff floating around. So she did the only thing she could. She grabbed Morrigan by the hand and hauled her out of her chair, then out of the eating area towards Morrigan's rooms for a serious talk. There were a few facts that Morrigan likely wasn't going to like to hear and it needed to be done in a location that was safer for the general population...

As Esabel lead the way to the Mess Hall, there was no way to miss the looks she got this time. And they were, indeed, all directed at her instead of him. In fact, everyone barely looked at him at all. Instead, she got a mixture of looks. Most were looking at her luscious a** in the short shorts she was wearing that hid little from the imagination, the athletically muscular legs, and the tank top that hid even less than the shorts. The fact that she was barefoot was only an afterthought to the ones watching (and obviously lusting) her. But some were glaring, obviously wishing she were dead and bleeding. If they could have gotten to her without witnesses, they would have. Esabel, however, was oblivious to it all as she simply lead Wolfe to the Mess Hall where she ordered two plates then motioned to a random table. As she approached to sit at said table, the rest of those sitting there vacated the premises quickly. So she and Wolfe had the table to themselves as she motioned for him to sit down on the bench across from her instead of next to her. She really was trying to behave at this point and even looked subdued as she sat with one hand propping her head as she looked down at the table and let her finger trace idle designs over the surface instead of looking at him. Thankfully, the food was delivered in short order. A basic plate for her along with a nice ale. But a meal fit for a shifter laid out for him along with a pitcher of ale. There was enough food laid out to satisfy six shifters, to tell the truth, but apparently the kitchen slaves thought that he looked really hungry. Of course, the kicker to his meal had to be the centerpiece for it: two full roasts cooked rare, one beef and one venison. Esabel toyed with her food, though she did eat a bite here and there. Overall, though, she was getting close to looking miserable. But even miserable, she was attractively adorable and managed to draw more than a few interested looks that she was still oblivious to…

Into the fires of battle! Wuflric Von Shadowfang xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Wulfric was amazed by the spread of food placed before him a fine meal to say the least he carefully sat down he relaxed slightly when he was sure the bench could hold him... coming from someone who was used to cooking his food over an open fire it was not surprising they'd try to accommodate him, but something was missing while the ale and food had a fine scent to it there appeared to be lacking some of the modest things he's used having with his meal that helped him relax, and seeing as esabel was toying with her food he could imagine this was dull for her as well... sighing Wulfric reached across the table and tapped in front of her plate to get her attention and then grabbed his small pack... for a brief moment he paused to look around, gazes were diverted upon making eye contact with them and most dispersed... certain he wasn't going to be watched he pulled out a small vial with a odd liquid inside, for him it was icing on the cake for any meal but whether or not she agreed with him was entirely uncertain, but it was something he cooked up that made even a basic meal seem like it was luxurious. he took the lid off and poured some on the meats he had and then put a couple of drops on her meal, not much as the contents of the vial would probably be very strong at first...
He sat there for a moment just staring at her to see what she would do before he turned his attention to the meal and casually took pieces of meat and started eating, all the while being alert to his surroundings there was difinately more to this place than he's seen and was going to have to check it out further after he's settled in and when he's not keeping an eye on esabel. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Esabel looked up when he tapped on the table and watched as he put some stuff on his food and a smaller amount on hers. She dutifully took a bite and gave an impressed nod at the taste. While the food here was good and good for you, the great stuff was reserved for Lily and the Pillow Room. “Thank you,” she said softly before she looked down again. She was eating, and the food tasted better with his stuff on it. But she still felt bad for pushing him far enough to force his shift. Honestly, though, sometimes she just didn’t think. Alright, most of the time, she didn’t think. But she still felt bad, “Sorry for making you too mad,” she finally apologized, hoping he wouldn’t be too irritated with her. Yes, she was a walking nutcase most of the time with the attention span of a toddler high on sugar in a toy store. But she did have a good heart, even if it was on the evil sociopathic side. Besides, she had a feeling that he didn’t like her too much anyway and while she usually avoided (or killed) people that didn’t like her, she knew she’d have to behave with Wolfe from now on. While her current behavior wasn’t really the way she truly was at heart, she didn’t see that she had much choice. “Esabel will show you around a bit after we eat. That way you know where everything is,” she added, still in that soft voice as she tried to be helpful to him. Maybe she'd start going to the Pillow Room and take a few of the job description bits off his shoulders. There had to be someone in there that wouldn't mind sex with her...

Into the fires of battle! Wuflric Von Shadowfang xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx up to this point Wulfric had been content to eat, the meat went by fairly quickly since he was in his wolf form, and was intrigued when esabel apologies, he stopped for a moment to look at her since words couldn't be spoken he merely nodded, the fire in his eyes was still strong but if one looked closely enough long enough one could tell that there was potential for him to be gentle beast when he wanted to be... Wulfric bowed his head couldn't help but suddenly feel bad for her while she was far older than he was by much he couldn't help but think she and her kin were well out of time as much s he was though his situation was brought on by a single wolf when he was on a hunting expedition... seem so long since that fateful day and the things he's seen since... shaking his head he looked at her and then looked at what was still left of the meat and took a moment to finish it, the ale while good wasn't as strong as it could have been for him but the taste was well enough... he looked at esabel once again before standing up from the table, towering over everyone around he couldn't help but notice that people were starting to take notice a few he seemed to recoqnise but couldn't place them anywhere... well he couldn't but they obviously did as they started walking towards him turning to face them he growled sharply as they approached, unfazed they stopped close taking in his full size, compare to them he stood two feet taller than them which to most only gave concern but they looked at him and merely sighed, cocking his head he couldn't help but feel like he was being judged "don't mind us just a bit off to see a were with white fur, you are a odd one" looking them he couldn't help but feel disgust and annoyed that they would think he was odd, though suppose he was if you thought about the packs that roamed around. shaking his head in disappointment adn turned around to see what esabel was doing. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Unto the anvil of war!

Esabel really only took notice when a few other guards approached Wolfe and made their strange comment to him. She took the comment as a way of attempting to insult him and got to her feet to cuddle up next to him, her arm around his waist as she glared at the idiots. That glare had them shifting a bit nervously but they didn’t back down. So she took things a step further and moved up on her toes to give his cheek a light kiss, “Esabel still says you’re a pretty wolf,” she whispered to him softly, reminding him of her earlier comment to him as she complimented him. Then she turned to the idiots and gave them a smile that had three of them backing down instantly in pure fear. Two more backed off when she approached the one that had spoken and gently caressed his cheek before she gave him a kiss to his cheek, “You boys better be nice to Esabel’s new puppy… Or Esabel’s gonna get mad…” she whispered in the silence of the room before she turned back to Wolfe. She offered him her hand and a small smile that was actually inviting, “Come on, Wolfe. Esabel will show you around. You just ignore them idiots. They won’t be bothering you no more,” she told him as the guard she’d kissed began to whimper in pain as he started to slowly rot from the inside out. Soon enough, he’d be screaming in pain. But, for once, Esabel didn’t want to be there for it. Instead, she simply wanted to show Wolfe around the base. But it was strange… She was completely oblivious to any threat directed to herself. But she’d jumped in and acted in his defense without hesitation. And she’d done it with a ruthless precision that would guarantee him respect at this base for as long as he was here…

Into the fires of battle! Wuflric Von Shadowfang xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Wulfric stood there for a moment watching as the guard started to cry out in pain, under normal circumstances he'd had ripped his head off and been done with it but since he had only been here a short time he was trying to play nice but after seeing this he was crtain he was going to have to be alert and ready, as one thing was certain he was going to have to crack a few heads sometime in the near future before anyone would give him a wide berthing. Turning his attention to esabel Wulfric looked at the extended hand, he paused for a moment before taking it, his hand engulfed hers and followed her out of the dining area to see the rest of the place. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Unto the anvil of war!

Esabel gave him a dazzling smile as he took her hand, the smile taking her from adorable to desirable in an instant. She ignored the screaming as she led him out into the hallway again for his tour. Behind them, one guard glared at Esabel's back, "Friggin mistake," he called her under his breath before he moved to get the dying man to a more suitable place than the dining hall... ((Exit))

Esabel practically danced the whole way to the dining hall, very obviously so filled with happiness that it couldn’t be contained. She also ignored the looks they got. Instead, she only turned to grin at Wulfric when he gave a grinning growl at her display, completely unrepentant for the way she was affecting him. She didn’t have to tell anyone to bring them their food. A few kitchen slaves simply came out and set up a table for them. Thankfully, the food was much better spiced this time, showing that someone in the kitchen was finally taking some pride in their work. So Esabel sat at the table and went at her plate with gusto, leaving Wulfric to work at the impressive spread they’d given him. At least they were prepared to feed a shapeshifter’s appetite from long practice. One of the slaves gave a whistle of appreciation when he caught sight of the marks on Esabel and gave Wulfric a grinning nod to his very obvious skills, proving that Esabel wasn’t the only one in the base with such kinky tastes in the bedroom. Esabel completely missed the byplay, as she usually did. Somehow, she managed to miss stuff like that but always noticed it when someone was poking, or provoking, her Puppy or her family. While they still needed to talk to Nalyne about the attacks and the information they’d gained about the attacks, her uncle was still a bit busy at the moment and leaving the whole thing in Wulfric’s capable hands. It showed a lot of trust in Wulfric for Nalyne to do so, and even more trust to leave Esabel in the shifter’s hands. So they were at loose ends until their prisoner was healed up enough for more questioning. They still hadn’t asked him who else had been hired, after all, and so didn’t know how many attacks to expect. At least they knew part of why Wulfric kept getting attacked. Being attached to Esabel had made him even more of a target. Usually, being at loose ends was a bad thing with Esabel since she tended to get bored easily, which almost always lead to her getting into situations that got her in trouble and/or injured…
