Cedric-
Cedric watched as more boats began to pull up, letting a triumphant grin slip along his lips. His siblings had their hands full now. With a slight sigh he turned and began walking down the large steps off to his right; they led down into the sand. His pace was leisurely, he made hurry to make it to the dock. He knew Gabriel would freak being the center attention in front of all the new wolves, and Briony.. Cedric shook his head. Who knew what she would do, most likely turn to violence for some unknown answer. He could see the figures of people moving from their boats, but could not make out any features. However, having the hearing that he did, he could hear them all as clear as a bell. So it seemed that Ethan and Dustin had arrived. So had Liam, Eva, and Iris. Good. He ran over what he would tell them in his mind, gnawing on the thoughts furiously. Cedric hoped by the end of the night he would have a proper pack together. He hoped they would not run and cower in fear when they found out about the vampires, or the one that was secretly among them. Ced knew it was not their fight, really, and he hated himself for doing this, asking them to lay their life on the line. But he had no choice. This was his island and he was not going to let a bunch of leeches take it over. The thought made a growl vibrate within his chest, shaking his frame forcefully.
Arriving at the dock he slowly and silently walked onto it, a smile dancing on his lips as he nodded at Ethan. Cedric picked up on all their scents. Most he smelt was fear, they were dripping with nervous energy.
Gabriel & Briony-
Gabriel's eyes widened as he noticed the small blonde kick her suitcase and growl, he blinked once, glancing at Briony who had muffled her laughter. Hearing the guy's words to the girl made him grin, crossing his arms over his chest casually. He nodded once, "Nice too meet you both as well," he said smoothly, glancing at the blonde briefly, grinning. Brion arched a brow when the the tall male looked at her and spoke, lifting her chin in defiance, "Likewise," she murmured, after their names had been spoken. Dustin and Ethan. The names seemed familiar. Had Cedric mentioned them before, perhaps? Maybe she overheard their names at some point.. Briony was one to be nosy..
Gabriel had shook his head when Briony spoke, feeling the heat from his face as he burned crimson. How embarrassing.. Blushing in front of their guests. His hands trembled out of anger, but he quickly cooled down, smirking at Ethan when he was slapped in the back of the head. Brion laughed, glancing at Dustin and grinning. The girl was small, but had that spark. Really, she just reached up and slapped a giant. Of course, Brion was more prone to punching or biting, but still. She had noticed the way Dustin had been looking at Mouse, she looked down at her large companion. The dog leaned its head back, panting lightly as he starred up at her. Her gaze flickered to Dustin and she gave a nonchalant nod in her direction. With that the Great Dane slowly got up and lumbered to the small blonde's side, sitting back on his hind quarters, tail wagging furiously. Brion smiled just barely, glancing up at her brother.
Gabe's gazed was focused out on the water as a few more boats pulled up. He took a deep breath, holding it in. However, he tensed as a large had was slapped down on his left shoulder. His eyes bounced to the hand, then the person's face, snarling loudly. That is.. Until he recognized who it was. Cedric. He exhaled, shrugging his brother's hand off. "Sorry, Cedric," he said quickly, lowering his head as if ashamed.
Cedric chuckled, glancing out at everyone who moved onto the dock. "Hello everyone," his deep voice boomed, causing Mouse, the Great Dane who had spotted another dog, and was moving towards it to pause and sit down. "My name is Cedric Kaelin, and these are my siblings, Briony," He placed a hand on her shoulder, causing her to roll her emerald eyes and give what seemed to be a wave at the newcomers. He grinned, "And Gabriel," He motioned towards his brother slowly.
Gabe gave a nod and a forced a smile at the other guests who had just arrived. "As you may know, I am the one who sent you the letter that brought you all here today. I hope your flight and boat ride over was enjoyable." Cedric went on, looking at each person, studying them. They needed much training, he supposed. "If you would, please follow me to the house. There, I will take you to the quarters upstairs, where you may pick your room. On the way I am open to answering questions, and after you are settled in I am opt to doing the same." He did not falter as he spoke, his expression cool, calm and collected.
"My siblings are here to answer your questions as well, if I am busy. Tonight there will be a bonfire down on the beach. That is for you all to socialize and get to know each other. There, I will give you more.. Insight on what else will be going on during your stay." Cedric picked his words carefully, flashing an award-winning smile to swipe away any "nervous" expression that may have crossed his features.
Briony narrowed her eyes, gazing up and over at Cedric skeptically. More insight? What more could he say?? They were there for a get-away so they could be who they were freely.. What else was there? If she was in her wolf form her fur would have bristled. Gabriel glanced at Brion, giving her this look as if to tell her to calm down.
"Gabriel will help any of you who may need help carrying your luggage." Cedric did not miss a beat, making eye contact with each person on the dock briefly. He was a good public speaker, a good persuader at that. If he wasn't what he was.. He might have done great things in his lifetime, or so he hoped. Yet, what was better than helping a few werewolves grow to their full potential? Gabe let out a exasperated sigh in under his breath. What he wanted to do.. Help weak people carry their luggage. He glanced at the blonde who was having trouble with her suitcase when she first started off the boat. "Do you need help?" he mouthed to her when he was able to catch her attention.
"Briony, you will be staying here, waiting to see if anyone else will show up." Cedric murmured, eyeing his sister who, if she could, would be shooting laser beams from her eyes to burn a whole through his head. She nodded a bit stiffly, giving a gentle snap of her fingers. In that moment Mouse stood up and, slowly, walked over to sit at her feet.
"Now, if you all would please follow me," Cedric mused, glancing at Ethan, and grinning. "Glad you could make it, friend," he chuckled, turning as he began making his way off the dock. He figured a person or two would start asking him questions immediately, and braced himself for it. He would be surprised if none of them were curious..
