The City Centre

@[H] Krystal [RM] "Are you a threat or not?" Tzuyu raised an eyebrow, wondering just what the other was trying to achieve by talking to her. What kind of question was right; and right off the bat as well. But she could see the others point, was the brunette indeed a threat to her and the pups, who were just beyond the bushes in front of her. Ah, what a good question. Not even Tzuyu would find the answer, nor, could see find the time to make the older female understand.

"A threat?" She repeated, raising an eyebrow at how steady the others vocal tone sounded and resisted the urge to roll her eyes. "My, how am I supposed to answer that when I don't even know the answer myself," She paused, lifting a hand up to as she hiccuped. She could feel her cheeks heat up slightly out of embarrassment and sighed, lifting her gaze over at the female. "....No." She clarified, "No, I am not a threat but I'm not a mood to talk nor be around others at the moment, sorry."

@Baekhyun [FC] "I quite like a simple pad thai with chicken in it." He smiled, ordering their food for them and looking over to the other. "Want anything specific to eat or drink?" He hummed looking over the menu to see if he would want anything else himself.

@Leo [IC] Baekhyun smiled when the alpha described the food and then hummed happily. He looked over at the menu and soon enough, he spotted a dish with rice noodles. "I'm gonna get a pad se ew," he said and nodded, "How about you, Leo?" he asked curiously.

@Baekhyun [FC] "I eat everything, so there is no use asking me." He chuckled, walking them over to the thai shop to take a look at the menu. "I've had thai food before though, and it's always nice and homey. Makes me feel good when I finish eating it, so it's a good option."

@Leo [IC] Baekhyun giggled excitedly and when faced with the options of food, he his lips as he thought, "Hmm, I feel like rice noodles~" he said, "So... Thai?" he asked and then turned to the alpha to see if that was okay. He wanted an okay from someone who knew the food better than he did after all.

@Baekhyun [FC] Leo stood up when he saw the other finish up and pay for his clothes. He smiled, leading the other out of the store and towards the food court. "Okay, so now that we got the clothes down, we can do one of these options for food since it will be quicker and cheaper than to go to a restaurant." HE smiled, pointing to the various shops that were there. "Chose any one of them."

@Leo [IC] Baekhyun continued to try on several different items of clothing and soon enough narrowed it down to two pairs of jeans and a sweater. He didn't need too much and he didn't wanna splurge on just clothing either. He wanted to have some things to eat and or drink whilst he was out here as well. He went over and paid for the things before moving back over to the alpha, "I'm done~"

@Baekhyun [FC] Leo smiled and nodded, leaning back on the couch and hummed to the music that was playing int the store. He didn't think about how one would take care of themselves outside of the city, but he was sure there were some things the other could do in the forest. Even just sitting and thinking bout life and himself would be something. "Okay, go ahead."

@Leo [IC] Baekhyun giggled softly as the other smiled at that and then checked himself out in the mirror. He turned to look at the other and then nodded, "Yeah... I understand. I guess living in the forest my whole life hasn't really let me explore myself too much compared to the wolves out here in the city," he commented and then sighed softly, "I'm gonna try on some others~" he giggled, heading back into the change room.

@Baekhyun [FC] "They do They look very comfy." Leo smiled, chuckling at how happy the other looked to be getting out and actually doing something for himself. "You have to make sure to treat yourself more often. It's what really helps to keep you happy in the end. Never someone else or the pack. Besides, it's nice to get away from everything."

@Leo [IC] Baekhyun smiled, looking into the mirror as well and humming softly as the other spoke. "Well, I do have my own money that I've been saving up for personal spending~" he giggled. "I'm gonna go try on something else too~" he said, skipping back into the change room and choosing a slightly big hoodie to go with the skinny jeans. He came back out and showed Leo once more, "Don't these two look good together~?"

@Baekhyun [FC] Leo waited for the other as he looked around the shops, humming and reading a magazine while he waited. He smiled when the other came out, tilting his head. "Looks like they are the right size for you. Those are nice. I'm not sure how much stuff you plan on getting though."

@Tzuyu [MP] Krystal let her eyes survey her surroundings, her heart melting almost immediately when the sobs didn't stop, she quickly grabbed both the pups hands as she surged forward, desperately looking for the source. Her heart was always soft to those in pain, and this was no exception, she closed her eyes tightly, trying locate the person by either smell or sound, but soon let out a soft gasp of surprise, this was no ordinary person. A wolf, she sniffed the air again, a young one too. Maybe around her age? Most likely younger. Krystal was now wary as she continued looking, if this wolf was a threat to the pups, she no doubt would fight.
Then she saw a flicker of movement by the bushes, one more sniff and she knew this indeed was the wolf. She let go of the pups, giving them a stern look and a gesture to stay as she carefully glanced over the bushes. Krystal's face was expressionless as she looked down at the female wolf, but her heart throbbed when she saw the wolf's puffy eyes and tear stained face. "Are you a threat or not?" she kept her voice steady, but her eyes surveyed the other, searching for lies.

@Leo [IC] Baekhyun smiled as he went about the shop with the other member of Leo's pack and felt happy that he was receiving help. He giggled as he went about, looking at the different clothes and picked out a few before heading to the change rooms. He put on a pair of jeans and soon came back out, "Leo~ How do I look in these skinny jeans?"

@Baekhyun [FC] Leo called for the person in his pack, smiling as he explained the situation and moved to sit down a a free couch. "He will walk around with you and choose clothes he feels fits you. Then you can go try them on and see how you feel about them. I'll be right here."

@Leo [IC] Baekhyun smiled as the other led him to a store, looking around as he saw all the different clothes for both males and females. He blinked a few times and then nodded to the other, "Oh, okay, thank you very much," he smiled and then giggled softly, feeling happy.

@Baekhyun [FC] Leo nodded, leading the other into a store he knew a lot of his younger members of the pack enjoyed getting clothes from. One even worked there, as a way to bring income into the pack, as they did live in the city. "Okay, my younger pack mates love this place. I'll have one of them help you out, since he works today."

@Leo [IC] Baekhyun looked around them and smiled at how many different stores there seemed to be around them in the mall. He hummed and shrugged, "I think any one of these stores would be nice, to be honest with you," he smiled and then giggled, "Mind leading the way?"

@Baekhyun [FC] "Sure, we can go into some clothes store. Well, there are quite a lot of those here and all of the are of different styles. Is there any specific style that you like or are we just going into any random one and we'll see from there?" Leo smiled, stopping in the middle of the mall.

@Leo [IC] Baekhyun smiled and then hummed softly, letting the alpha lead the way as he looked about, finding it so interesting how there were so many people in one space. He wondered about that question as well and tilted his head, "Maybe... some clothes stores?" he asked.

@Baekhyun [FC] "He is very cute." Leo smiled, nodding his head and standing up. "Let's go then. It's not to far from here." Leo led the other towards the mall, keeping him close so that the other wouldn't get lost in the crowds of people. "What is the first thing you want to do at the mall?"

@Leo [IC] Baekhyun smiled and looked over at the photo, a giggle escaping his lips when he saw how cute the other was, "He's so adorable," he smiled. He looked up and then listened, "I see~" he nodded. He hummed and then sipped on his drink, finishing it off, "So, should we go now?" he asked, feeling kinda excited now.

@Baekhyun [FC] "He is the light of my life. Maybe you could meet him. He loves making new friends." Leo chuckled, showing the other a picture of his son. "A mall? Sure we can. You'd be surprised how things you do in the forest can translate into things you do in the city. They always have something for everyone here, since the humans love that stuff."

@Leo [IC] Baekhyun smiled to the other and nodded, "It must be lovely having your own child," he smiled and then chuckled, imagining the small bundle of joy being so hyperactive. He wondered if he'd ever have his own family one day. "True~ But I've lived in the forest for most of my life and only came out here for errands," he pouted, "Could we perhaps go to a mall and perhaps just explore there a bit?"

@Baekhyun [FC] "Yes, his name is Kitae. He actually just turned two few days ago, so now he is in the break everything, scream for everything age. I'm excited." He chuckled, nodding his head. "Well, what can't you do in the city minus hunting? Well, let's start with things you like doing or have always wanted to do. That could help."

@Leo [IC] Baekhyun smiled to the other and listened attentively, nodding and humming to show that he was listening, "I see, you have a son?" he asked softly and blinked a few times. He thanked the other for ordering their drinks and thought about what they could do. "Well, I'm not too familiar with the city to be quite honest. Just some parts. So, any suggestions?"

@Baekhyun [FC] "I did. I made sure to have some time for you this week. I rarely get off time to hang out with people, let alone have many friends in the first place. So I am forcing myself out. My son's at school, so I have time to do whatever it is you want to do." Leo smiled, ordering them some drinks as they sat and talked about what they wanted to do.

@Leo [IC] Baekhyun managed to reach the cafe and entered, looking around as he heard his name. He smiled shyly when he saw the alpha and went over to him, bowing slightly out of habit and then sat down, "Hey, Leo," he said a little awkwardly since he wasn't too used to calling an alpha by their first name, let alone be in such a casual situation like this. He tried to relax though, "Long time no see. I'm glad you received my message," he smiled.

@Baekhyun [FC] (cool)

Leo got the message from Baekhyun, making time on that day so that he could hang out with the other. Outside of his pack, he didn't have too many friends outside of the Forest Clearing pack alpha. It may have been why he felt like he needed to protect the other, being a close pack. He waited at the cafe, watching as the other entered. "Hey Baekhyun!"

@Leo [IC] (Yeah, I'll time skip to the next time he visits ^^)

Baekhyun had been so grateful to Leo's words and actions, being comforted in a place where he wasn't the most comfortable. So, he did indeed try to spread the word as much as he could to his packmates. And soon after, he finally had some time to himself and thought it might be a good time to visit the alpha. So, he let Leo know in advance to meet up at the same cafe from last time and once the time and day came around, he went out to meet him.
