Her suspicions all night came to an end as her thoughts were right, his hands had the appearance of being raised in particular areas that calloused wouldn't reach unless he was a hard worker to the core with his hands in the past. Each little stroke with her glove was rough like harden skin like a dog's pad, but had the tone of Jasper's skin tone. Seeing this for herself Brittney let go of his hand looking to her pocket before looking back.
"Don't worry I'm not a strange oddball for a thing for hands, curiosity got the best of me from earlier tonight. Sorry for the scare there, you never know who could be lingering besides the staff. Better to be a defensive little lady than a damsel in distress all the time, it never ends like the fairy tales."
Jasper had a perplexed look from the saying, but understood what she meant when it came to the real world. He looked at his hand and hid it behind him, a little off guard that he had it examined like a specimen. Brittney saw his uneasy look as she finished the last of the tables, thinking he probably didn't expect to be threatened then looked over.
"That particular guy asks for me almost every night, he can be a real jerk but I tolerate it knowing it's only for a couple hours of biting my tongue." she tried to make it not seem hostile and strange with talk. Not after speaking she felt a slight shot of pain hit her arm, but dismissed it to keep a cool head.
" I gotta admit that without you stepping in, his fingers would've stabbed right in my side and my night could be worse, thanks again for the help back there. By the way, my name is Brittney or Honey as I'm called with the clients. I like your name, not many guys are called that around here."

Jasper slipped his hands quickly behind as if with the idea of being caught, somewhat in a panic of how to really explain himself for the sudden question. He didn't say anything for a moment, drifting his gaze from looking to Brittney to other places in the room getting the feeling that if he ran what would be the outcome from that. The other point Jasper had was that what would be her reaction if he was to say anything of what he was now, however it was possible that it won't be the end of the world if she asked about knowing hybrids. Did she know what they were? Was she one herself? or even she was working with someone to know about them even more, those were the questions going in his mind, and he didn't want to say a thing.
Taking a hesitant breath Jasper took out his hand in view to look at his padded chance in his palms, looking to see a small red dot from where his claw nail had pressed with enough pressure to bleed slightly from the quick reaction. He used his thumb to wipe it off before looking back at her direction, realizing he was in a corner and not able to just run from the question.
"There had been strange things that happened to me for the past few month, things I just though was a bad mutation or something in the water. After looking in the mirror and accepting my appearance change it kinda stuck with me."
It was all Brittney needed to know, and leaned on the seat to listen to his explanation, knowing he probably had no one to talk to about what he went through. "I seem normal looking just like I was months ago, but small things like my hands, teeth, and small areas of my body change in ways even I can't understand. I just learned to deal with it along with a couple good perks, my strength had increase even more than what it was in high school. Probably one of the good things to happen, so it's not too bad to seem normal and go with life as it goes. I got this new job and it's at night, so it's just like any other day."
Jasper peered through the hall at the clock and the last of the staff walking out, knowing it was about time to leave after last check. On the other thought in his head the idea of spilling everything out left a sinking feeling in the pit of his stomach, whould this woman say anything or just keep it in thought to know. He looks back at her with a little worry in his face, with a slight sense of fear in his eyes as he nearly cupped her entire arm in his hand.
"No one can know about everything I just said to you about this, promise to keep this a secret and never tell the owner or others here. It's a well earning job and I want to keep it a little longer that just a few days and act as normal as possible. Do I have your word not to say anything?" Brittney looked at his expression and can tell that this was very serious to Jasper, someone just trying to seek normality from a society that wouldn't understand if he was exposed to everyone. Her arm started to throb in pain again as she tried to slide free from his hold nicely, without giving him a scare but she just nodded to his plea.
"Why would I rat on a fellow employee, I know how it feels to keep things normal and you have my word. Your secret will be safe with me, however you're not the first hybrid I laid eyes on. Even my real date is one himself but I still accept everything about him, so you're not alone when it comes to the hidden hybrid."

Now the thoughts in his mind changed from being afraid to being more on guard, trying to think if Tobias should be feared or watched not to get scared by antics. Either way at least he was givin a warning in advance instead of a sudden surprise if it did happened. With everything secured Jasper continued to follow Brittney in the allyway, faintly illuminating from the glow her eyes as they walked. He glanced from the walls till his attention came to a startle of a large object coming at him, his reaction was to try and catch.
"Don't think muggers can be able to catch up with the way I drive, no worry honey is a durable machine. Just make sure to hang on." Brittney smiles admiring her bike.
Jasper didn't question and put on the helmet on before hopping on, before asking anything they were already full throttle down the streets. After zipping through the night traffic, both of them were at the mouth of the forested trail out of sight from any eyes to peer. Brittney looked over to make sure he was still there or just out of breath before killing the engine.
"How about a little night stroll in the dark woods? Where nothing but the sounds of the creatures that lurk in the shadows. She said in humor and adding the creepy hand gestures, Jasper just looked around the tree canopy.
"As long as we don't have to be fast and the furious for another minute, talk about knowing your way around the city."
Both headed into the more rugged brush twisted path, weaving through the naturally made maze of turns and dips till their feet met with a pebbled path. Jasper was looking around in amazement that there was even residents living in a place like this, then again she was talking about others that were just like them that preferred to be isolated from the city's view to those who wouldn't understand too much. Along with the fact there was one that could be just about anywhere if it wasn't for seeing a speck of glowing, if you can catch it in time. Brittney kept glancing over to Jasper and smirked a little, knowing he was going to be in for a surprise once they make it to the manor.
"So this Tobias guy....." Jasper decided to break the silence." What's the worse can he do when it comes to so call prank." She simple made of few sounds of laughing.
"You have no idea......in fact when we have the last newcomer come to the manor he pretended to be one of the gargoyles, making it look like one came to life snarls and evil laugh in all. That can give you an idea of appearance a little."
Jasper just heaved out a slightly spooked exhale as they were met with a large iron gate, creaking the door open enough for both of them to get through. Just as Jasper shut the gate behind him he stood where he stood from hearing a echo, slightly distorted chuckle among the tree lines. It would stop for a moment or two before resuming in a new position, what sounded like surround the two. He slid his hand to his side where he kept the knife concealed,in case this wasn't what he was expecting and it was to change into an ambush from above. Though he take Brittney's word, but at the same time he did not know what was in store if someone new was to just come by. Jasper was at the verge to grabbing for the handle before he heard Brittney mutter some profanity under her breath, and slipping off one of her heels and tossing it high to the right. In a sense of fear he scanned the area in hopes to hear the heel hit a trunk, drop to the ground, a hiss, something but heard nothing.
"Nah nah, caught your shoe, I learn from the past so you know." they hear a metallic sounding voice right above them, along with more echoing laughter that moved. Jasper had a hunch that it was most likely Tobias that was talked about, at least from the look Brittney was giving off as he turned to her.
"Oh get off it and you try and wearing them for hours for one night, never mind that for now I have someone from work that wants to speak with you. Trust me he is no danger and only seeks some information that I thought the leader would know better. Perhaps come down for a better look?"
All that came as a reply was silence, before Jasper let out a yelp looking to a pair of bright blue eyes peering from the shadows of a tree.

It took a moment or two for Jasper's vision to clear from the sudden change in light, but through the adjustment he should see a form come into view clearly. Not just the eyes anymore but the appearance of the lurking shadow. Jasper looked from different points at what he was seeing right in front of him, if it wasn't his eyes nor him echo tone that had him shaking it would be what he was mixed with to have those traits. At first he thought the wings were just part of the tree, but from a closer inspection it was certain they were a part of Tobias. Seeing the slight startle, Tobias could tell that Jasper had something concealed with the way he was holding his pocket.
"Don't worry I'm not gonna suck you dry of your blood, already did that earlier in the evening"Tobias snickered a little at his own bad pun, even if it was overly done for even his own standards.
"I'm joking, just trying to break the fear factor thing happening right now, since it looks like your ready to strike me down at any moment. Pretty much a common action around these parts I suppose."
Once Jasper's sight cleared normal he looked to Tobias, having to give a double take just to be sure this was reality. To him Tobias looked not as spooky as he was sounding in the dark, his tall stature was close in height to Jasper but more slim built with some muscle. Adding on to the wings at rest position, it made him seem bigger in size hence the intimidation part. Tobias saw the stares from everywhere and simply nod his head, having to deal with this more times than he could count already.
"Now that we got the stares of awe out of the way, you can tell I'm not gonna go and simply try to bite or anything. Apparently wanna have a little chit chat with me about a few things, I myself have a few words I would like to say as well with you being a new face. Let's start this simple, what are you called?....name wise that is."
Jasper loosen his grip and took his hand out of his pocket, slowly but progressing to feel a little at ease.
"The name is Jasper, I just started to work at the same club that Brittney does, from what I was told you can shed some light about what's happening. At first I thought this was all a bad dream, but from the changes to myself and glowing eyes I can see it's all real."

Like a tackle in a game the boys were nothing more than a cripled heap right at the others' feet, a mix of movement and profanity were the only actions taking place. Tobias was all but the most annoyed, since he felt pinned with all the weight on him, "Can there be one night that it doesn't become a tackle in football?....Just what were you doing to be running up the stairs like a kid who doesn't listen to a stair rule." Frank finally gained his footing back, unraveling from the two other boys rubbing his head from the impact.
"Sssso ssssorry for running, I was jusst about to catch up with Jeremy who was so consumed in his papers."
Of course there was grumbling from Jeremy as he emerged from the heap and lend a hand to Tobias. Jasper didn't say anything but also lend a hand to help out, but not before taking a look to Jeremy and Frank of there appearances. Almost close to being identical with snake patterns yet different like one was only in the process of changing just like Jasper, human but not at the same time. Tobias stretched his wings out a little, careful not to whack someone else on their feet to ease the tension from the hit.
"Well with the halls being dimmed out try not to cause a huge domino effect next time. Well before I want to go on with more reason on that, this is Jasper by the way. He is new and just coming out himself with a little help. I was about to get the ball rolling and shedding some light on the clouded details. I'm sure this is one way to see were not much of a harm, but just chaotic at times."
Jasper shakly raised a hand in saying hello, now that he was slowly seeing other and not feeling to out of water.

Frank put his mug back down, and took a spot right next to Jeremy with tounge jetting in and out and watching Jasper. He culd tell that he was beyond freaked out at the two staring back, which gave him a gleaming fanged smile at the situation at hand.
"You sssse it'ssss kinda interesting after you get passsed the scary part. along with nearly piercing your own lips when you try to bite down. However it'ssss very beneficial when we can pump venom out, sssometimes it can be as simple as pretending to go for the right strike."
Jasper tried t keep his glance at the two, but they keep traveling towards those long fang he knew were that of a viper. In his mind it was like he could hear the rattling of a rattlesnake, but of course he couldn't tell if it was all in his mind or coming from Frank, who suddenly disappeared. Looking around he couldn't see him, but could hear him just the same as earlier with Tobias. "I may be new to this while hybrid thing, but through trial and error have develop ways to use my new bio weapons to their fullest. Of course it doesn't all have t be just striking with a very deadly poison......"
Jeremy looked to see a slight rattler slinking right by Jasper's foot, and smirks in amusement at what Frank had planning in the works right behind the unsuspecting Jasper. With a little slithering, the tail was wrapping to his feet while Jeremy talked a distraction.
"At first I wasn't too sssure that's Frank would do well, but with sssome practice it hassss paid off. Enough he could be ready for combact if need be."
"My other part isss right, assss I wasss ssssaying if it's not the bite that'll get you. It can be so discreet that's it'll literally wrap you up in ssssome waysss." GFrank adds on as he appears right behind Jasper's shoulder. His eyes merely met with narrow snke like pupils looking right at him, before feeling something wrap around his legs and shaking like crazy. Jasper yelps in reaction before backpedaling too fast and falling to the floor, while Frank starting gasping for air with his hissing cackle.
"Ok there show off, were trying to make him understand us, not fear us like we'll attack at any moment. That nearly happened already earlier." Tobias spoke from the darkened corner.
Jeremy looked over and Frank loosen his tail while helping Jasper up. "Oh come on now, we were jusssst having a little fun on what a sssnake can do bessidessss bite."
