To Carve A Personal Image On the Face of the Moon

Erin laughed and shook her head.
"Naw, you just gotta give the boys tough love."  

[Aradia Helevorn]

she shrugged, "in time, when i get more comfortable and know whats ok to do. I know what it's like for people to press my buttons and i don't want to do that to others." she smiled slightly. "besides i'm not the type to just jump in. i'm rather cautious you could say."  

[FigTreeDoctor]

Ben nodded.
"That's the smart thing to do, especially now that you hang out with bratty teenage werewolves."
Erin continued nodding. "We don't use the term 'bratty' lightly. It's mostly Iggy and Ben, though."
Her brother elbowed her in the ribs.  

[Aradia Helevorn]

she smiled, "well it still seems that you're all very close. i mean it's quite nice to notice." she looked around. "i mean, back home people would just as likely stab a friend in the back as they would anyone else." she shook her head. "it's absolutely mental." she looked back at Ben and Erin. "but here i can see it's quite the opposite." she smiled. "and i'd like to be a part of that."  

[FigTreeDoctor]

"We were all raised together. 'Cept for Johnny." Erin said.
Ben nodded. "But he's family, anyway. Welcome home."  

[Aradia Helevorn]

she smiled, "home, that sounds nice." her face made a very calm and comfortable expression.  

[FigTreeDoctor]

Ben smiled and checked the large sports watch on his wrist.
"Whoa! It's midnight already?!" he said, his eyes widening.  

[Aradia Helevorn]

Teresia looked at him wide eyed, "I have school tomorrow!"  

[FigTreeDoctor]

Ben grinned. "Wanna ride home?" he asked.  

[Aradia Helevorn]

she sighed and nodded, "that would pry be for the best." she replied with a shrug. she turned and waved to everyone. "I'm heading out. School in forks." she grumbled.  

[FigTreeDoctor]

"We'll see you after school." Erin said, waving.
The others nodded and chouroused a "see you later."
A giant, sand colored wolf sat outside, waiting for Teresia.  

[Aradia Helevorn]

she looked at him wide eyed for a moment, "you've got to be kidding me." she tried not to laugh.  

[FigTreeDoctor]

Ben's tail drooped and so did his ears. A low whine escaped from his chest.  

[Aradia Helevorn]

she looked at him sadly. "i'm sorry. it's just i wouldn't expect you to want to carry me yourself." she replied and climbed onto his back, behind his shoulder. she rested her arms around his neck. "this is so odd." she replied rather to herself.  

[FigTreeDoctor]

Ben whined one more time, then his ears perked up. A wolfy laugh rumbled through his chest.
"Hold on tight!" Erin shouted from the doorway.
