Quinn shook his head, "No I'm saying your a little forward, but then again... Your only a teenager which is sadly normal for a boy your age." he just chuckled, Harry was just a horny teenager. Quinn opened his book again as he just shrugged at Mark's question, "I say three weeks, also Mark your giving him too much information his tiny little brain can handle. He's still a teen... Youngest of us to be exact and he's just at that age."

He watched Harry walk away to go veg out on the couch, Quinn liked the kid and he was a okay flirt just a little too Touchy Feely for his tastes. Quinn shook his head he was a flirt when he wanted to be, and to be a flirt you didn't need to chase every single girl that walked by. However he didn't really care right now he had to finish this book by today.

Midnight could hear the pounding of her feet behind her, but something was wrong, yet somehow felt a little right to be the prey for once in her life. She dug her feet into the soft earth then realized she was almost ready to smile. She mentally shook herself as she gained more speed and leaped over a fallen tree branch. Whats the matter with myself? Feeling happy about being the prey, about being chased after and almost smiling! Midnight didn't realize the trap she was walking into but when she realized she was getting closer to the house, she smelt Adrain's scent on the breeze. It was too later for her to slow and stop as she neared the edge of the trees, so she let out a burst of speed hoping to outrun Duncan and dodge Adrian.

Mark continued to tap on the table absent mindedly as the his wolf growled agin. Looking at Quinn he said,"your right let him run amuck, if he goes to far then one of the girls can chew him out. Also your right, I guess my talk was to much for him, maby I should slow it down for him." Once agin he realized he was taping his fingers on the table and to stop himself he shoved his hands into his pockets. "I'm sorry but is the food almost ready, I need to go back out agin soon or I'm going to start climbing the walls soon enough." It was always a problem for him, if he stayed inside for to long his wolf would get restless and it would reflect on Mark.

"Hey munchkin, how about you live a little yourself and come over here, join the party and peel those potatoes." Raena groaned and stuck her tounge out at her mother when she called her 'munchkin'. Bumping her hip against Carter so she was standing up on her own and shooting him a mock-dramatic look, she glanced at her mother annoyedly. "Alright, but we all no cooking never turns out well when I'm involved. Just a warning." with that, she flicked back her auburn curls and held her head high defiantly as she went to stand by Nancy.

Rae began peeling the potatoes quickly, sending potato peels flying. Suddenly, she yelped sharply and drew back her hand. Wincing, she inpected a somewhat deep cut across her index finger as it bled. "Well, great. Now we've got a bloody index finger, and a bloody potato." With a pout, she wrapped her finger with a paper toweland glanced at Tai. "Now am I exempt from cooking? I told you this wouldn't turn out well."

Seeing Rae try and bandage her finger with a paper towel Mark heavede a sigh and sayed,"let me see that." Taking her hand and pulling off the paper towel he put her indeex finger in his mouth and let it sit there for a second before taking it back out and saying,"that will work for now. You need to get a bandage on that as soon as you can to prevent infection. The seliva will act as desinfectant and will speed up the healing process in the mean time but like I said take care of it as soon as you can, trust me a cut can turn nasty pretty fast if your not carefull."

Tai could see that her chances of getting much help from the gum-flapping males in the room was diminishing as they got more bolshy with each other. Some things didn't change much! But it was OK. One person chopping, one person peeling, once that was done all that had to happen was for it all to go in the pot with a few sprigs of...

She looked at the meagre offering of greenery Erin presented her with, and managed to turn her look of dismay into a look of serendipity quickly enough for anyone to notice.

"Ah good thinking Erin!" she said, "Coriander goes well with lamb too. I'll put in a bit of cumin and paprika, and we'll give it a bit of Moroccan heat. Well done."

With a smile she took the herbs and began to quickly chop up the leaves, before she was distracted by a yelp of pain and looked up to see her daughter nursing an injury. She raised an eyebrow incredulously. Really, she's cut herself on a potato peeler?

"Oh Rae...OK don't worry go get that washed. That's probably enough potatoes anyway. Maybe go keep an eye out for your father, and see if Duncan is with him. Need to now how many places we're setting at the table OK?"

Adrian prowled along the treeline pensively looking for any movement...and then there it was. He could see Duncan steering the figure to the right spot, and put himself right in the person's path. Whoever it was was fast, and made a cunning lunge to get away, but Adrian was well prepared enough and managed to tackle the girl to the ground, gently so as not to hurt her. It didn't take him long to recognise who it was.

"Emily??" he exclaimed, quickly releasing her and standing up. "Are you OK? Why were you running from us?"

Calvin slammed the ball hard against the surface of the basketball court and weaved from side to side, feigning against imaginary opponents. The community game was tomorrow night and, typically, none of the team were available for practice. Something had Calvin in a foul mood tonight. He wasn't sure what it was, but the last thing he needed was to be around the rabble at meal-preparation time...Quinn being an honourary female, Erin answering all the questions nobody ever asked...grrr.

The pack dynamic got to him sometimes. Especially when it was so close to the full moon. Just four night away, and everybody was still living like a bunch of...he couldn't even bring himself to say it. He'd gotten in trouble for starting the discussion too many times before.

With a sigh her turned and went into the house, stepping into the hall and pausing just in case he caught the sound of anything worthwhile going on.

Midnight tried not cough out a curse up at Adrian as she got to her feet. Angry at being caught, she glared at him before she dusted herself off. "My name is NOT Emily. It's Midnight. Remember it or get lost." She didn't want to talk to Duncan or Adrian, at best, she didn't want to talk to anybody right now. Not answering Adrian qustions she bolted away and easily launched herself up a tree, knowing that neither guys would want to climb up after her.

Midnight watched them from above, gripping the tree with her hands, hoping that she wouldn't fall.

Upon receiving Erin’s prize Tai gave her a smile which was really more of a grimace, "Ah good thinking Erin!" she said, "Coriander goes well with lamb too. I'll put in a bit of cumin and paprika, and we'll give it a bit of Moroccan heat. Well done."

Erin snarled and ground her teeth, “I [i]thought[i] it was Rosemary. I’ll go get you some [i]actual[i] rosemary.” Erin stomped out of the kitchen muttering to herself about the confusions of gardening and dinner.

Upon reaching the padio she grabbed the second green plant she had considered taking in earlier. Stopping back into the kitchen and slamming the door to the padio behind her she marched up to Tai.


Erin slammed the plant down on the counter before Tai, “I will not be defeated by a plant so, there. That is rosemary. “

She turned from Tai, confident in her rosemary picking abilities, and with the minor crisis averted returned to her previously calm mood.

Placing her elbows on the counter top and her head in her hands she asked the group cheerily, “So I was thinking, after grub would anyone be game for game night? Maybe monopoly or scrabble?”

(Edits: sorry internets being stupid)

Quinn watched everyone do there thing Raena slice her finger, then Mark jumping to her 'Rescue'. He only had a Erin picking Coriander instead of Rosemary, then well he wasn't sure what to what she did next?

Chapter to go to finishing his book as Erin asked about game night, "I'll play with we do Monopoly..." he then flipped the page as he looked up at Erin, "But. Only if I get the race car." he said smiling only time he'd play is if he got the race car or the battleship. Anything else that was a no no.

He then glanced over at Tai seeing he should see if he could maybe help, "Is there anything I can do or are we covered?" He asked his eyes moving back and forth from his book to her as he tried to finish it.
