(Appears about 19 though he's actually like 2-3 years old. I'll explain if you need me to )

The men looked to each other, the business man sighing like he was frustrated before he and the other men turned to leave, turning on their flashlights as they started to head into the forest once again, likely to continue searching.

Lupine soon heard them leaving and relaxed slightly. Still there was the fact that he was sitting in the closet of some stranger who apparently lived in the woods. He had yet to realize that the stranger was the one who was sitting on the park bench earlier. The boy kept himself folded up in the back of the closet until he was certain it was safe.

(I was picturing a 12 year old version of him here, simply for my own state of mind, but yes, please explain.)

After making sure they were gone, El walked to the closet and opened the door, "You can come out now. They're gone."

(PMed.)

Lupine peeked up from his arms, bright eyes gazing up at the man from behind the clutter inside. After several moments he slowly made his way out, bringing himself to his feet, he looked to the male in front of him, much shorter then him, he put down his hood. His discolored eyes analyzed him for a moment before he spoke. "Thank you..." he said in a soft spoken voice as he held his arm with one hand, shyly.

"You're welcome," Elemeno nodded, "Why were they chasing you? And why do you smell like metal?" he asked.

Lupine blinked at the sudden questions. He rubbed his arm absently, seeming reluctant to answer them. The boy simply looked away, with an emotionless look on his face. It wasn't only metal that was likely wafting in his scent, odd scents of an unknown substance that smelled similar to oil and chemicals, however his clothes smelled of the outdoors, of cities hints of wilderness here and there hinting he had traveled a bit.

"I promise I don't bite," El said, his tone becoming calmer and more kind, "At least tell me who they are?"

Though he did not turn his head, he looked to Elemeno from the corner of his eye before he looked out the window nearby and his brow furrowed. "...Lupine." He said softly before turning slightly towards the male. He looked confused for a minute. "What happened to that animal?" he asked, his eyes looking around wondering.

"They are Lupine?" he asked with confusion then answered his question, "That wolf was me," he said. He didn't seen to have any qualms with admitting his lycanthropy and just shrugged.

"I am called Lupine." he says again correcting him. Lupine however didn't flinch like others would when someone would see a werewolf for the first time. He in fact looked almost curious. One brow now risen he looked over Elemeno. "Wolf. You are a wolf?" he asked. "How?" Him asking this clearly meant he knew nothing of lycanthropy nor anything on it's legends.

"I'm not quite sure how," he shrugged a little bit and sat down on the couch, "But I can change my shape to be two kinds of wolves."

The boy stared at him, confused by this statement. Watching as Elemeno sat himself on the couch, he sort of stood there unsure of what to do next. His hands fell to his sides as he peered around the cabin again, spying the window. Lupine walked up towards the window, looking outside into the woods, as if wondering if they were truly gone.

"Who were they?" El asked again, "They didn't seem friendly."

His eyes once more fell on the male who sat on the couch before he looked out the window again. "Lab coats." He simply said, eyes tracing over the treeline, he turned and leaned himself up against the wall. Lupine paused before he looked to Elemeno. "Your name?" he asked.

"They're lab coats?" he asked but shrugged it off. No need to dig into it really. "I'm Elemeno, but most people call me El. You can too."

Lupine nodded and slid down against the wall to sit on the floor. Pulling his legs to his chest, he sat silently as he looked up to Elemeno. His head bobbed a little at the introduction. He didn't speak for a minute or two before he coughed roughly, covering his hand over his mouth in the process. after removing his hand, he had stared at his hand for a moment before hiding it in his pocket away from sight.

"Why were they chasing you?" he asked and started flipping through channels on the TV.
Despite the rustic outer appearance, the cabin was pretty modern inside. His TV was a large, flat screen, the kitchen had many newer appliances and even the coffee table had a modern feel to it.

He watched the tv for a moment as Elemeno had asked the question. The boy looked to him and gave a shrug. All honesty, Lupine didn't understand why they had been after him. He rather remembered his friend mentioning that they had a specific reason for it. "Repossession?" Lupine said having remembered what she had said to him.

"So... Like... They own you?" he gave Lupine a strange look.

He blinked and figured that it was good enough explanation, since he really didn't know how to explain it any who. Lupine nodded and gave a slight shrug. It was clear he wasn't too sure himself. The boy shifted where he sat slightly and stared at the television once more.

"Well... You can spend the night here, if you'd like. Do you need something to eat?"
