Welcome to Gaia! ::

"No it does mean something's wrong..."

She was watching through the glass and was already moving to her feet, picking the orb up and sticking it in pocket which was surprisingly roomy.. old ones when Dyvim was an orb.

"Come on Jyn," she said walking towards the door and outside, crouching between the two. Her hand went Lani's forehead before she took in Mercutio's appearance.

"Oh dear..."

Mercutio didn't say anything. He started growling like a wolf warning it's enemies to stay away while he removed his jacket, scarf and shirt. He removed his boots and tossed them aside.

"Not here Mercutio! Not now!" Jynelle called from just outside the cafe' door.
Mercutio's head turned to see her, and the young man got low on his hands and positioned himself ready to leap on Lani. He shook his head and reached a hand up to his head again. His injured arm was burning under the bandage. He unwrapped the wound, blood now trickling to the ground. "I can't hold it... It's too much! The cigarettes weren't helping." He shouted before thrashing his head around.

The werewolf slammed his hand on the ground before lunging at Lani, his eyes flashing bright green again.

Lani would have been jumped, but Raven lept in front of her?

Panicked, she looked between Raven and Mercutio, teal pupils still shrunk, aqua aglow, even in the daylight. Her eyes were just chock full of terror. Lani took her jumpy orb from Raven, just as panicked as she was, finally calming down a bit when in its guardian's grasp. "Gracias," she mouthed in a quick, breathy voice, before turning heel and darting inside the building. Surely he wouldn't be as stupid to follow her inside to kill her?

... and why her?

So much for makin' friends, huh? She really didn't mean to make an enemy, oh well...

Mercutio pinned Raven to the ground and snarled at her. He didn't look like himself, even though everything was the same. He let her go and clutched his head once more. The agony was getting too much. Crouched on the ground beside Raven his body started changing. Within just mili-seconds he was in the form of a massive wolf. About half the height of a man on all fours with a lot of muscle casing his bones. He snarled angrily and leaped through the closed glass door, Jynelle ducking out of the way to go and help Raven.

Inside Mercutio turned his head to see all the panicking customers. He growl low before leaping on one of the nearest ones and sinking his teeth deep into the middle aged man's flesh. The werewolf's jaws started snapping his bones as the man cried out. Blood poured out onto the table and all over the floor, now lifeless body in the werewolf's mouth was not a very pleasant sight to see.

Lani was at least smart enough when inside. She'd rushed through the cafe out the back end of it, leaning against the wall beside the door. She sighed deeply, clutching her crystal orb to her chest, which beat slowly against her chest, hummed a crystal tune, and warmed against her chest. The pain in her body died.

"Oi, what a strange day. li'yl crystal. I sure am gettin' a lot of those, lately." She looked down at the orb, pastel tinted mists swirling inside.

"Well, at least I have the day off now, right...?" Lani made a promise to herself that she would relocate this Raven person sometime to talk about what the hell went on.

"No..."

She took the flute and pressed it to her lips, her fingers moving over the holes. She played the one thing she could think of....a soothing music that tamed a dragon's restless soul and she was hoping it would work on Mercutio.

Her hearing heard the sirens and the vampire blood reared its ugly head. She watched Mercutio's wolfen form through a lazy eye, continueing her play of the flute.

If it didn't work, she would fight...

"Lani is okay?" Jynelle asked looking up at the young woman with saddened eyes. "He's not always like that... only... only sometimes." She joined Lani outside and held a cell phone out infront of her. She'd taken it out of Mercutio's pocket earlier.

The corsea dialed a number and selected a speaker phone option. She didn't like holding noising things to her ears. 'Hello, Niro speaking.' The voice ong the other end on the phone answered.
"Niro! I don't know what to do! Mercutio's lost control of himself!" Jynelle yelled getting a little teary.
'Jynelle? Okay stay calm. Tell me what's been going on.'
"Mercutio... his craving got the better of him. He changed in the middle of the street."
'What? That stupid f***ing wolf! Is anyone hurt?'
Jynelle nodded forgetting the man on the other end couldn't see. "Yes. He killed a man... and tried to attack a nice lady we met."
'Oh great, and today was working out so well! Finch, what did I do with my gun? What do you mean why? That stupid werewolf let his hunger get the better of him again. You know that won't do anything! He's my brother, of coarse not!' The man on the end appeared to be arguing with someone.
"Niro, hurry up." Jynelle called into the phone before hanging up.

--

Mercutio's attention snapped to Raven. He let out a low growl before jumping down from the table and approaching her. The wolf's head thrashed around a little and Mercutio started changing form again. The blonde panted for a second while on all fours before he passed out (naked) on the floor.

Lani calmed down, and nodded, "Si, Lani is okay," she repeated, still hugging her orb. Right now, with what all just happened, she felt like her orb, and maybe Jynelle, were the only ones that gave a damn or didn't hate her or something. She didn't know any better of Mercutio, but right now....

... she didn't at all think fondly of him. Not until a proper explanation.

Lani waited until Jynelle hung up with this Niro person. Then, "So, care to do some e'splanin', li'yl missy? Jus' what happened in there?" Lani figured they'd have a moment just long enough for Jynelle to at least tell her... SOMETHING that didn't make her feel hated or a threat.
