Finn didn't respond since he was still in wolf form, but he seemed content to sprawl across Beatrice's lap and get pet as he listened to her talk. He yawned and stretched, rolling over onto his back. Teagan was pretty quiet, but he listened as well. Eventually, they were starting to get hungry.

Irena eventually got up and stretched, going downstairs, Beatrice followed her into the kitchen.
'I'll help make breakfast." Beatrice said as Irena got out ingredients.
Finn and Teagan transformed back into people and followed Irena and Beatrice downstairs. They yawned and stretched again, clearly still trying to wake up as they leaned against the counter.
Irena began mixing pancake batter and pouring it onto the grittle she had plugged in and sat on the counter.
"I'm only going to make pancakes and sausage this morning." She told them as Beatrice rolled sausage into a pan and put it in the oven.
"Sounds good to me." Finn replied, shrugging. Teagan nodded as well and laid his head on the counter, definitely not quite awake yet. Finn looked around aimlessly, not really sure what to do with himself while he was waiting for food to be done.
Irena continued cooking and eventually all the food was done and on a plate on the kitchen's island.
"Bon appetit." She said, giving a small bow and grabbed four plates and forks and set them down as well.
"Thanks!" Finn picked up a plate and smacked Teagan to wake him up so he could get some food too. They put some food on their plates and sat down, Teagan sleepily mumbling his thanks as he did so. He seemed to wake up a little more as he ate, at least.
Irena and Beatrice both made their plates and made their way into the dining room, where they sat at the six person wooden table.
Finn and Teagan sat with Items and Beatrice to eat. "Mm… do we have to do anything today?" Finn asked, picking up a pancake to eat.
Irena shook her head.
"considering it's summer vacation, we don't have to do anything." She told him "but we could do something if we want."
"Yeah, true… well, we went swimming and skating and bowling yesterday, so that's a lot of stuff already. What other stuff is there to do?" He asked. Teagan yawned, eating slowly as he tried to wake up.
Irena shrugged.
"I don't know I always come up with the idea's you come up with something for a change." She teased.
Finn whined and pouted a bit. "But I'm not at coming up with stuff…" Teagan rolled his eyes and looked up from his plate, still groggy.
"I dunno… we could run around in the forest or something. We always find weird stuff in there."
Irena shrugged.
"Im fine with anything, honestly." She told them.
"Well, we can start with that, then, and see where the day takes us." Teagan replied, shrugging and finishing his breakfast.
Irena nodded and Beatrice got up and put her plate in the sink, heading upstairs.
'I guess we could." She agreed.
"We might run to our house to change first, though." Finn and Teagan stood and put their dishes in the sink as well. "Do you want to meet back up by the forest in about thirty minutes?"
"sure." Irena said, and looked towards the stairs.
"Do you have a problem with Bea coming with us?" She asked them.
"No, that's fine." Finn replied. Teagan nodded in agreement, and then the two of them ran off to go change.
About thirty minutes later, as agreed, they showed up to the forest in fresh clothes.
Irena kept herself in her sweatpants and T-shirt, and was waiting for them when they arrived.
"Hey." She said quietly, Beatrice was next to her in athletic shorts and a large T-shirt.
"Don't try to scare Bea, she's freaked out about hanging out in the forest."
Finn and Teagan waved when they arrived, thankfully more awake than before. They were wearing matching t-shirts, thin zip-ups, and jeans. "Oh, c'mon. You'll be fine!" Finn insisted, smiling brightly to reassure Beatrice. He decided to leave out that this was the forest he'd been bitten in, but that werewolf was long gone! He didn't live here anymore, so it didn't matter. The forest was perfectly safe.
Irena smiled and rolled her eyes.
"yeah," she told Beatrice "It isn't so bad honestly, kind of cool, actually."
"And besides, you're safe if you're with us." Finn jerked a thumb into his and Teagan's chests. "Don't forget that you're friends with badass werewolves. Now c'mon." He gestured for the others to follow as he headed into the forest.
Irena followed, Beatrice bringing up the rear, for a long time, only the sound of crunching twigs was audible as well as the song of the birds.
At some point, the twins transformed so they could run around more easily. They jumped over logs and moved things that Irena and Beatrice couldn't get over. Finn caught the faint sound of distant growling and looked up, but Teagan didn't seem to hear it, so he continued on.
Irena followed, constantly reassuring Beatrice everything was fine.
"Nothing will come near us as long as Finn and Teagan are with us." She told her sister and continued on.
Finn was still for a bit, falling to the back of the group, and then suddenly moved forward, ushering Irena and Beatrice forward. Teagan was still bouncing in the front, unaware.
Irena and Beatrice followed Teagan, as he was now in the front.
The growling drew nearer and Teagan finally took notice, spotting how nervous Finn looked. He looked around and came around the side of the group, and suddenly, Finn tackled Irena and Beatrice into the underbrush so they would be hidden. Teagan growled and barked, and then there was disruption outside the bushes. Finn looked very nervous, and he looked down at Irena and Beatrice to beg them to stay put before he jumped out to help Teagan.
Irena denied this and stood up, tumbling out of the bush.
She saw another wolf and she cried out "no! Leave them alone!" At it, before Beatrice came out, a knife in her hand.
"Go away!" Beatrice yelled squeakily as she saw the twins fighting with the wolf.
"Go find someone else to attack!"
