@HUNTEDD0WN were a nuisance that brought them a lot of attention. “Name your price.”

@HUNTEDD0WN “Pay you?” He grins. Couldn’t blame her for the offer, good opportunity to make money. “Well, I might be interested. How much would this cost me?” I mean, I don’t get paid that much to load/unload shit, but I have some cash stashed away.” And it might be worth it because they+

Sniff. Sniff. And he peeks from his booth towards the entrance.

@HUNTEDD0WN hardware store. I do all the loading for the owner.” Pays good enough and the old man never asks about the abnormal strength.

@HUNTEDD0WN them. They’ve just become scavengers picking on travelers and snatching roadkill.” Wesley begins to smoke after a regular who wears too much body spray enters. He gives the man a thumbs up before scowling. “And if you need anything else I’m usually down the road at the +

@HUNTEDD0WN Figured she’d only be a few days before she’s off visiting her sister or whatever it was. “Also just a heads up there is a few more dogs around the outskirts that I keep at bay. They pretend to play nice but can be some complete assholes together.” Has a few scars from them.

@HUNTEDD0WN “Well, Selene, it’s decent for a town out here. Good thing is the price reflects that.” And it beats being out in the wilderness for extended periods of time. “They also don’t pry. Stay there long as you want, and as long as you pay, there will be no questions asked.” +

@HUNTEDD0WN someone’s trophy mounted above a fireplace. “Wesley.” He sticks out a hand to her. “The local K-9 unit.” He cracks a smile.

@HUNTEDD0WN He shrugged his shoulders. “I guess you could put it that way. I just want to keep things cool here to keep hunters away. A few deaths that look like our handy work and the next week we have a bunch of wolf hunters filling the motels.” Wesley had no interest in being +

@HUNTEDD0WN Without… friends?” Or a pack. Just from observation he could tell she had to be pretty dangerous to be traveling like this.

@HUNTEDD0WN “Well sometimes I’m surprised myself. But I suppose I make a better fighter than most of us, lived in a pretty contested area some time ago.” He puts up the cash to cover the cost her beers and the food he devoured. “So just passing through? What has you drifting about? +

@HUNTEDD0WN wild beast was a relief. “So sorry about the introduction but I give it to everyone who comes here. If I cover the tab does that make us good? Don’t want to be looking over my shoulder when I’m out.”

@HUNTEDD0WN “That’s…fair.” He was the same and sensed the annoyance. Wesley couldn’t help it, not too many of them are so reasonable. “Not too concerned about the rabbits, don’t think any here will miss them much.” Scratching at his beard he breathes finally. Knowing she wasn’t just a +

@HUNTEDD0WN interested in just seeing her try. “Just giving a heads up to the stranger. A lot of people see a secluded dead end place and think easy pickings.” Another smile before finishing off the beer. “No threats.”

@HUNTEDD0WN He meant humans, been protecting the town from his own for a while now. Amongst their kind he’s been called kinslayer lately. The threat from her makes him smile. This is also why he tries to avoid being around others like her. It brings out the worst in him, even now he’s +

@HUNTEDD0WN He’s approaching and sits at the stool next to her. Wes has a beer of his own in hand. He gives the bartender a nod before leaning towards her. “Evening. If you plan on turning this town into your personal hunting ground, don’t. Like this place too much.” Sips his beer.

@AHuntersHowl And the beer is ordered, and drank down to near-empty. She’s already ordering another, her blood runs too hot for one beer to do anything. She turns slightly to glance at him over a shoulder .. eyes narrowed.

@HUNTEDD0WN The man goes back inside the booth to finish eating. Wesley got a good look and she seemed new so maybe it wasn’t anything to worry about. Still would have to give the usual introduction. He’ll wait until she has that beer maybe it’ll help the conversation.

@AHuntersHowl Realizing her mistake the moment she walks in. Best to act natural instead of bolting out. Casually making her way to the bar without glancing his way. She came for a beer. She’s getting that damn beer.
