Forest

@❂Kyuhyun Ryeowook gave a small sigh and shook his head a little, what was he trying to achieve anyway? "You don't seem to be thinking constantly in what you've been trained though, that should say something." He offered a slight smile before tilting his head back slightly. "You'd be doing your absolute best and it still won't be good enough for some, i'm sure it's not just me that happens to." He squinted slightly. "Is that what you'd think would happen or is it what you've been told? There are those who would want you... and sure, I could kill you... but honestly? I couldn't bring myself to do that to you. Call me utterly selfish but, I'd rather show you a better life than kill you."

@⚰Ryeowook Kyuhyun shook his head and let out a breath turning his attention to face the other once more trying to keep his emotions as calm as possible though the other didnt seem to care all that much when it came to how he was acting. It was strange to him but he was going to take it. The truth was he was a lot more frustrated then he ever allowed himself to feel and now he could feel it prickling at his skin almost as he still tried to restrain himself to some degree.

"You dont understand... at all. I was trained not to feel, I was trained to be thankful for EVERYTHING I was given, be it good or bad. There is always reason for why I get beat, there is always more I could have done to improve, to follow basic instruction better... Its my fault and I deserve what comes to me." He let out another breath and shook his head again. "Those who didn't 'put up with it' as you said are weak, they are black marks tainting the good name you lot have... If I become a black mark I am wanted less, and eventually I wont be wanted at all... then where does that leave me. I dont have family, I dont have friends, I dont have anywhere to turn or go or anything... Your lot took everything and restricted everything... I am nothing now... if I am not wanted in any way I might as well be dead. So if you want to 'save me' from this... kill me now"

@❂Kyuhyun Ryeowook frowned slightly, feeling bad for something he couldn't have done all that time ago. "Not all who get trained the way you do put up with it forever. You deserve a lot better than what you've gone through and you can still start anew if you wanted." He sighed slightly and ran a hand over his hair briefly. "Sorry, I don't want to force anything,"

@⚰Ryeowook "This is what I was trained for... to be the perfect little doll and blood pack" Kyuhyun shook his head slightly and looked away from the other taking a moment to relax what little moment of anger he felt back into his normal blankness before he looks over again. "its not about helping me, or me thinking for myself. Its about my role and what I was taught, instructed, and expected to do. I know what it is to be with better masters, I know what it is to be treated better, and worse... but I have a roof, I have food, and I am... 'cared' for. I will not be the slave that makes a fuss and gets moves around and is known to complain about things. So thank you but no... I dont need mr nice vampire to try and make up for what was destroyed a long time ago"

@❂Ten [carries a basket with me as I enter the forest, wanting to find some plants and herbs that can only be found in forests]
/it’s night time and without the moon tonight, the forest is really dark, making navigating a bit difficult
[curses softly at the darkness and turns on my torchlight]

@❂Kyuhyun Ryeowook nodded his head a little, letting the human speak and frowned slightly in sadness and worry. He'd sit back against the tree a bit and look to the other. "You can still think for yourself, there are many that literally may as well be a lifeless doll, don't let yourself get to that state. Not all of us are the same as those you've experienced, there are better masters out there that'd take better care of you, you know. I'm not playing the nice guy, I'm trying to tell you that I can help if you want or need it at any time." He rubbed the back of his neck slightly and looked at Kyuhyun. "You wouldn't be the first I've helped you know. At least think about it?

@⚰Ryeowook Kyuhyun let out a soft breath listening to the other for a moment. He contemplated his options for a moment before deciding to relax slightly still keeping his normal blank emotion in place. "Look... I'm going to speak candidly, and if that gets me killed so be it. The position that I am in is beyond abusive and controlling, but its my job. I am nothing more than a slave as I have been most of my life... all of the life I can remember. It doesnt matter to me if my master is kind and nurturing, or abusive and over bearing. My position in live was chosen, he paid for me, and I learnt my place early on. I dont go against what I have been taught I dont get hurt, I dont die. I dont matter to your kind, I never will, so... dont play the nice guy, one day someone might believe you and you'll get their hopes up only to have them crushed and then its not your kind that they need to worry about, its themselves." Kyuhyun offered a strained smile, bowed slightly and pushed himself back to his feet. "I'll be going"

@❂Kyuhyun "You should be getting more than that though." Ryeowook bit at his lip slightly before shaking his head slightly. "Listen, it's not exactly my place to be telling you this. But, there's a fine line between being used for someone's kinks and ual desires and being used to fufill someone's abusive and controlling nature." He frowned and looked to Kyuhyun. "Only you can figure that difference out, I just don't want you ending up dead from it."

@⚰Ryeowook Kyuhyun tilted his head a little and looked at the other quizzically for a moment before shaking his head quickly. "There is nothing wrong is my allotted free time" He muttered shifting a little ignoring the fact that he thought it was wrong. "I dont think my rules are... out of place."

@❂Kyuhyun Ryeowook hummed a little and looked to Kyuhyun for a moment. "That just doesn't seem right, at all." He muttered, it seemed way too little to allow him to do what he wished. "Have you been given any other rules that seem a lot out of place like that one?"

@⚰Ryeowook Kyuhyun nodded slightly keeping an eye on the other. He knew the rules he had in place weren't normal but he wasn't about to make that common place knowledge. He was thankful for the things he had. "I am given an hour a week, and not to be back any later than that" he responded with a light shrug dropping the 'perfect slave' role just a little still being cautious about it. "It hasn't been long... but I don't really know. I always just guess time"

@❂Kyuhyun Reowook gawked for a moment. "An hour...? You only get an hour to do what you want to do?" He'd ask calmly despite wanting to go kick this human's owner, either way he didn't appear thrilled hearing that. "Rules?" he'd ask while raising a brow, shaking his head a little. "I suppose if I were in your owner's presence you should follow them just so you're not getting in trouble." He started, shrugging a shoulder. "Like this though? You needn't apply what you've learned to me, I'm not that bad. Anyway, how long have you been out?"

@⚰Ryeowook Kyuhyun nodded a little though he didn't want to go against this person either. He knew who he was, to a degree and he wasn't all that sure on what the stand was on who our ranked who in this situation. "Technically. I'm only allowed out for an hour" he responded shifting a little. "I don't know the rules when I run into someone... Like you"

@❂Kyuhyun Ryeowook tilted his head slightly, that much was an improvement. He looked tot he human and shook his head a little. "I mean, nothing much other than some company while I'm here I suppose, do you have a curfew?"

@⚰Ryeowook Kyuhyun glanced at the other for a moment before shaking his head. "It's nothing. I made a mistake. It will heal" he responded once again before glancing around. "Is there anything you needed me for?"

@❂Kyuhyun Ryeowook frowned in a bit of concern, humming since he knew he couldn't push the other to tell him, well, he could but there'd be the risk of having the other too scared to be around him. "They don't happen without some force... I can't exactly force you to tell me something but, I can't really do much to help you if I don't know things either." He'd lean his head back against the tree and look to Kyuhyun. "I know I'm a vampire, but that doesn't change the fact I was also once like you." He shrugged slightly. "You can trust me, I care for other's wellbeings."

@⚰Ryeowook Kyuhyun lifted a hand to his lip gently touching the split before letting his hand fall back into his lap. He wasnt stupid enough to admit what was happening, he knew it wouldnt do anything to tell another vampire about one of their owns actions when he was practically nothing but food to them so he looked down. "Its nothing, its just a split lip" He responded closing his eyes for a moment before letting out a breath. "It will heal quickly"

@❂Kyuhyun Ryeowook smiled when the other came over, sighing quietly when he noted how the other sat, he did often wonder what others did with those in their care. Humming he'd tilt his head slightly and watch the other for now though he had wondered about the split on the lip. "What happened to your lip?" he asked softly.
He had no idea why he'd be worrying about this human in particular every so often, more so when he saw him, he'd been aware that most who owned bloodslaves used them for , which he figured was fine, though anything else seemed to sicken him at the mere thought of it.

@⚰Ryeowook [ yey ]

Kyuhyun narrowed his eyes just slightly in the response he got from the other vampire. It wasn't like everyone he had been with had punished in the same way his current owner did but the simply act of being nice was often used to hide something more. The nice words normally weren't met with a smile, and an offer of talking, they were just used to make him feel better about the situation he was in. It never worked

Yet here was a vampire offering a smile and basic human decency when he had nothing to do with Kyuhyun. He shifted a little in place aware thay he could deny the request and head back to his owner, but his training had also taught him not to do such a thing, so he shuffled forward, eyes downcast. He offered a bow before sitting down on his knees hands resting in his lap as he waited for more from the other.

@❂Kyuhyun ((yus i can work with that beb ouo))

Ryeowook had long closed his eyes to just enjoy the natural sounds around him, there'd been a thing recently where he had started to hum randomly in the silence, just a random tune though could sound eerie depending on what tune he chose to hum. Maybe it was the sound he'd picked up, or the shift of scent in the air that had eventually stirred him from his moment, eyes opening to scan briefly around himself before landing on a figure he'd seen before and as before that person's aura wasn't clear in the sense he couldn't seem to ever see it. He wouldn't lie when he'd say he was worried about the other's wellbeing.

"It's you again." The vampire stated simply, offering a small smile to Kyuhyun before gesturing to the space beside him. "Would you like to come talk today?" He'd ask, he used other people's aura's to determine how he himself should really speak and with this particular one he chose to keep a friendly front.

@⚰Ryeowook Kyuhyun liked his moments of 'freedom' where he could just relax by himself in some semblance of normality before returning to the reality of his existence. The recent split in his lip still stung as his tongue flicked across it, the sensation reminding him of the subsequent bruise thay would lightly darken his cheek in the coming day or two. It wasn't bad, not all the time, he'd made mistakes and he'd faced the consequences of those mistakes. He wouldn't do it again.

This hour a day he was granted to simply relax in whatever way he saw fit was the nicest. He could go out into the town, he could sit in a shower, read, sing, dance, whatever he wanted for just an hour, but what Kyuhyun enjoyed most was relaxing around nature. The way it closed around him caging him in in a way he felt comfortable with while displaying beauty and grace in movements from the breeze was enough to get through a good many things.

Today was no different, his hour started and he stepped foot off his master's grounds and into the thick woods around them exploring a well tracked path, only by him, towards nothing in particular. Each time he dared to go a little further, take a different turn, but never too far that he wouldn't make it back. Today he took a left, today he aimed to move further away, today his path was blocked by another, someone he'd seen before, someone who had him hovering on the edge of his limited vision and senses but probably easily discoverable by the vampire propped against the tree. Did he make himself known, did he return to his master, did he just... stand there...

[So you know... he's probably blank. Like completely emotionlessly blank. Maybe with a pickle of apprehension and confusion, but it could just be the breeze or something... if you know what I mean]

@❂Kyuhyun Ryeowook sighed in content once he found a spot to sit at and sat up against the large tree, leaning his head back on it while contemplating things, he wanted to just get away for a few hours at least before he had to go back and do more work. He'd perhaps go check up on a couple of humans just out of habit a little later, right now it was his relaxation time.

@☾Yoongi Right... one of you guys...
*it's still so shocking for him to think about, honestly; how could this have happened to him? He's always been a music nerd with nothing that exciting happening in his life besides having a fair amount of and doing some partying*
Oh... is he... intimidating...?
*slowly follows you, a but clumsy and stumbly, still adjusting to his new body and drained from his near-death experience*

@☾Baekhyun *chuckles at your words, looking ahead* good you aren't... would be pretty awkward otherwise...
*blinks a bit, looking back*
You're one of us now, there's no reason to hate you...
*starts walking in front of you, effectively leading the way*
Good.
Jiyong is our pack leader.

@☾Hoseok Hmm.
/leads you to the caves in question, keeping up a fairly quick pace in the hopes of leaving them behind us
Humans don't... pursue you often, do they?
/peers into the cave, ensuring no one is inside, and then steps in
We'll be safe in here.

@☾Taemin /Taeil ghosts after Taemin, centuries of sneaking around making him unnoticable in the night
/when they arrive beneath the tree, he stands a distance away and watches the wolf for a few moments
/with a soft hum, he chooses to make himself known, moving out of the cover of the shadows and sitting down under another tree; his gaze is trained ahead of him, but he watches the wolf from the corner of his eye

[post deleted by owner]

@☾Hoseok So they're humans?
/nods in understanding
I'm Ten. Nice to meet you
/Ten's eyes follow the path of Hoseok's gaze, and he nods
There's a cave system not far from here
/starts off in that direction

@⚰Taeil (it is okay~❤️)

*Running around inside the forest in middle of the night which it become his regular routine. He was in his wolves form, a white wolf with average size and brown eyes. His feet dragging him to his secret place which he always sleep, almost 3 month now. He find it quite nice and comfy to sleep there rather than sleeping at his own house. Arrive at his secret place, he went under the big tree, a place where he usually sleep. Plop down on the ground as he curl into a ball. The wolves didn't really pay attention to his surrounding, he eyes was too focus on the full moon where it seem beautiful to watch at the same time it is sad to stare at it too.*

@☾Taemin /Taeil slowly ghosts through the forest, observing the quiet night scenery
/he's not sure what he's looking for, (nothing, really); but still he looks, his eyes scouring the terrain
/anything that moves he zeroes in on, sizing it up and weighing it in terms of usefulness and entertainment value
/but nothing quite catches his eye like the wolf he sees in the distance; the wolf which he approaches, slow and thoughtful
