(should we do a time skip or something?)
(yeah, probably. To when, do you think?)
(maybe when Cyrus calls Erikos?)
(sounds good)
Cyrus sat in the middle of the woods, phone in one hand, the slip of paper from Erikos in the other. It took I'm a moment to work up the courage, but he eventually dialed Erikos' number, holding the phone up to his ear as he listened to the ringing and waited.
Erikos rolled onto his side, blinking slowly as he heard the phone ring. He smothered the joint he had been smoking, rubbing at his eyes as he reached for the phone. "'Ello?" he asked, his accent slightly thicker as he spoke
"Erikos, it's Cyrus, the wendigo," Cyrus said once Erikos answered the phone. Why did he feel the need to make it clear about who he was. Erikos should know, right? God, he was just getting a bit nervous, he didn't get into too many relationships because of what he is.
"Hey hey, Cyrus! Was wondering when you'd call," Erikos said, a grin spreading across his face as he glanced over at the stolen TV he was watching a movie on. Truth be told he wasn't certain Cyrus would call at all, but hey, he wasn't complaining
"Oh, yeah?" Cyrus asked, chuckling slightly at the thought that this might go better than he planned. "So, when are you free? We could maybe go and do something sometime?"
"Well, I'm free right now. Little on the stoned side, but that's not the worst thing in the world," Erikos said with a small laugh. "Maybe you could come out to the river? It's a little out of the way but it's pretty cool in my opinion."
"I should be able to get there. Where is it, exactly?" Cyrus asked. Erikos said he was stoned. He did drugs? He thought to ask what kind, but then went against it.
"Yep," Erikos drawled. "Deadman's River. A bit out of town, and you have to go through a bit of a backroad to get there, but you shouldn't get too lost."
"I should be fine finding my way," Cyrus said. He could have added in because I still smell you but that seemed inappropriate to say at a time like this.
“Alright, coolio,” Erikos drawled. “See you in a bit,” he said before hanging up. He reached for the joint again, lighting it quickly before taking a quick drag of it
Cyrus hung up and stuffed the phone back into his pocket before forcing himself to stand. He looked down at himself, wondering if his simple attire would be decent enough to meet Erikos in. He never wore bright colors, just lots or blacks and greys. Those shades looked better on his extremely pale skin. So, he began to jog- which to a human would have been more of a sprint- towards where he thought the river was.
Erikos sighed, finishing his joint before smothering it again. He stumbled over to the windows, making sure they were all open as he did his best to air out the cabin
After around 15 minutes, Cyrus found his way to the cabin and river. He looked at the front door, taking a deep breath before he knocked and waited for a response.
Erikos grinned as he heard the knock to the door. He hopped up, walking over to it and opening it with a smile. “Cyprus, pal! Nice to see you.”
Cyrus smiled at Erikos, hands stuffing into the pockets of his jeans. "Hey, Erikos, good to see you too," he said, shifting his weight on his heels a tad.
“Well, come on in,” Erikos said, still grinning as he stepped aside. He rubbed at his eyes a little, secretly hoping it wasn’t too obvious he was still a bit high
Cyrus stepped inside, lowering his head a tad so he wouldn't hit his head on the doorframe. He was always cautious about that. He hit his head on door frames and such way too often. "Nice place," he hummed, looking around the room.
“Pretty nice for a cabin in the woods,” Erikos said with a small laugh. He flopped down on the couch, a lazy grin on his face as he looked up at Cyrus. “You want something to eat or…something?”
Cyrus didn't realize it until Erikos had mentioned it, but he was starving. "Yeah, that'd be great, actually," he said. He took a seat on the couch as well, legs stretching out in front of him.
“Do you want…meat?” Erikos asked, getting up and walking over to the fridge. He pulled out a few leftover fish, gesturing with one before downing the other himself in a few bites
Cyrus' stomach churned at the side of the meat, and he shook his head a tad. The Wendigo gave an excited noise though, and his stomach rumbled quietly. "I'm a vegetarian, so no thank you.."
Erikos laughed a little at that before eating the other fish. “A vegan Wendigo, huh? That’s gotta make life hell,” he said before reaching into the fridge again. “Heads up,” he warned before tossing a salad kit in Cyrus’ direction
