"I…" He hesitated a little. It would be nice to go out again… But he shook his head. "It's too much of a risk for me." As much as he tried to convince himself that literally one in a thousand would know he was a werewolf, if not less, he couldn't help but just set his mind on the consequence of death. "And… I think we have plenty here that we can work with." He grinned nonetheless.
She smiled and nodded, 'Are you going to cook or am I?" She stood up and grabbed the hammer, putting it away before she came back to hear his answer.
"I can cook dinner for once, or are you not gonna let me?" He crossed his legs and cocked an eyebrow, to the brim with sarcasm. I will anyway, I just want to see what she says…
Emmeline scowled at him, "You can do what you want, though I figured you'd want me to cook since you can kinda tell me to do whatever since I'm staying here for now."
He stood up but slowly and eerily turned to her, smirking and still holding that eyebrow in a cocked position. "Any thing?" Miles leaned towards her and put her under some pressure. "Absolutely what ever?"
her cheeks flushed pink and she looked away from him, "There's obviously borders..no murder..things like that.." She mumbled.
He retreated a little when she said something. "Well obviously…." Miles still kept a dark eye on her. "I was talking about… Hm… Other things… But I'm sure murders aren't allowed either." He meandered into the kitchen to get something on the stove.
"Ohhh…" Her face turned bright red and she shook her head, "Those things too, boundaries."
"Well, you set the bar pretty high when you told me everything unless you intended to friend zone me," Miles grunted, putting the kettle on the stove and shoving some logs in the oven. He managed to light it on fire to get some water heated up.
She blew a small breath out and put her hands over her face, knowing that it was still bright red, "Ok..let's get this straight, I really like you, I'd prefer that you weren't in the friend zone, but that also means there are still boundaries."
"Oh, of course, of course…" He said, rolling his eyes. I hope she knows my mind isn't all that dirty. Miles got some other food and vegtables out for the soup. But hopefully…. Maybe one day she can see past that dumbass boundary.
"Since I'm now thoroughly embarrassed, what can I help with?" She hopped off her bed and walked into the kitchen, looking up at him.
Miles sat back, and glared down at her for some time. "You can take a break, and that's all I'm gonna let you do for now. Or let yourself take a bath or something and I'll even let you use the hot water." He swallowed a lump in his throat, yet smiled anyways.
She smiled lightly and nodded, "A bath doesn't sound half bad," She looked up at him and nodded again before heading to the bathroom, starting the water.
"Just don't make me come and get you," He nearly quoted her as he put some venison in the pot to simmer.
"Alright," She called, shutting the door and taking her clothes off, she set them neatly to the side and smiled as she sank into the tub.
Miles let out a long breath when she was out of earshot. What the hell am I supposed to do with her?…. He closed his eyes and furrowed his brow, irritated. Just…. Let her say that without having intentions?… He shook his head. Oh no no no…. I'm gonna break those boundaries eventually whether she wants me to or not….
She sighed slightly and closed her eyes, realizing how long it had been since she'd had a warm bath. She smiled and splashed the water around with her hands, acting almost like a little kid.
Miles finished cooking up the soup and let it sit on the fire for a bit. He glanced out a window and cursed inwardly at himself. Tonight is one of those nights, isn't it….? He put both hands on his face and groaned relentlessly. Tonight's the night of my death…
Emmeline dunked her head under the water and washed her hair, humming slightly. She sat in the water for a little longer before draining it and stepping out. She grabbed a town and dried off before throwing her clothes back on.
(Lol I think it’s hard to dry yourself off with a town, Emmiline X3)
He shook his head. It looks like I’ll be spending the night in the shed…. Miles halfheartedly stirred the soup in the pot. But…. I will be honest, who else knows what I am? I don’t think anyone can trace werewolves in human beings all too well, and since I actually have a brain while I’m in transformation… I could practically get away with it.
(XDXDXD ya that would be difficult)
She ruffled her hair up with the towel and opened the door, walking to his room and sitting down on her bed. She dried her hair off again before walking to the kitchen, leaving the towel on her bed. "How's it going?" She asked with a smile.
“It’s…. alright….” He took the pot off the stove and extinguished the oven’s fire. “I’ll be sleeping in the shed tonight, so don’t be surprised.” Miles served up the soup in a clean bowl and handed it to her. “Unless you have some unfathomable amount of pity for whatever reason….”
She took the bowl thankfully and nodded, "I mean, I can bring you out a blanket like normal," she started eating and smiled, "This is pretty good."
"Thank you," He responded wholly as he took a serving for himself. Not that I'll be cold or anything…. Miles otherwise didn't say anything as he absentmindedly began to eat, staring off into space.
