Soft light brown hair flowed around her face, almost as if there was a heavenly radience about her, though there wasn't. Bright green eyes almost the colour of a cross between emerald green as well as an olive colour. Rectangle shaped glasses with a black frame rested neatly above her nose. Jiangu Langzongse sighed as she stood in front of an old abandoned manor. It would have to do, though she was the only one. She hoped others like herself, that had no one would come and find this place home...though this place needed a lot of work. She stood up glancing at the manor. Another sigh escaped her throat, realizing she might as well began getting things started. Gently pushing up her glasses back in place she headed towards the old manor. Thankfully it was furnished, but there was a lot of dust, and cleaning to be done.

"This is going to take me quite awhile."

Jiangu said to herself as she disappeared inside the manor, grabbing the sheets off of the furniture, this place almost reminded her of a haunted place, though it wasn't really haunted but it just needed to be taken care of. The place was clearly abandoned for so long. Though as she shooked out the old white sheets a cloud of dust appeared making her sneeze repeatedly. She would be immersed in what was going on to be able to be aware of anyone coming this way. Thankfully this manor had a ton of rooms. It just needed someone or people to tend to it, to care for it. To make it beautiful once again

Erik shivered in the cold his hood covering his face, he waited for the trap he had set to catch something. He hid in a tree not making a move. Finally the small silver bell rang and his ears twitched as he grinned. He swung down and landed with barely an audiable sound. Walking to his trap he saw he had caught a rabbit. The eyes of the rabbit were scared and looked at him to be free. He sighed and drew out his hunting knife, "sorry but I need to eat..." he said as he quickly slit the rabbits throat making sure it died painlessly. He waited for it to bleed out and cleaned his hands and knife in the snow. He picked his prey by the ears and quickly went back to his camp, he skinned it gutted it and ate all he could making the rest jerky. His ears twitched and he sighed, "...better get moving..." he said as he packed his supplies and headed away sniffing the air for some sign of life. He found a scent and frowned, it seemed human...but something else as well.

He thought for a moment and shrugged as he started to follow it. He reached an abandon manor and crouched down staying down wind to whatever was making the scent. He silently thanked his uncle for teaching him wilderness survival. He kept his head down as he tried to listen to the movements happening inside.

Jiangu continued sneezing due to all the dust, she wouldn't have been aware of someone coming nearby the manor
or had picked up her scent. Though if he noticed the other scent would've been her being a werewolf, if he had noticed.
Snapping her fingers she went to try to pry the windows open, some easily opened whereas as a few refused to.
Shaking her head she made a note to get those one's repaired. Making a check list for the things that needed fixing she walked outside deciding to see if anything else outside needed repairing too and it was as great as any of an excuse to be able to get away from the dust. Though she didn't see Erik, she would stop mid track, as she sniffed catching a scent that hadn't been out there before. Glancing in the direction the scent was coming from she headed in that direction. Eyes narrowing hoping now one hadn't come to attack her.

"Whose there?"

She asked, her voice firm as she waited for an answer. She wasn't about to be fooled, she caught the person's scent.

Erik froze seeing the brown haired woman, "how had she caught my scent?" he thought to himself. He closed his blue eyes and silently crouched further down, he still had his knife in hand but he didn't want to use it on someone else. He calmed his beating heart his blond hair covering some of his face. He decided to hear what this woman would do. If she hunted him for what he now was he would have no choice but to attack, but he did not wish to do that... he hated hurting people. He took a slow breath and opened his eyes waiting...like a hunter would when hunting their prey or when they needed a predator to not spot them. He was not sure which one he was.

Jiangu sighed when she wouldn't get a reply, deciding to give the stranger some time, she would walk passed him, though she knew he was there
due to his scent being a lot stronger she walked passed him, though in view sight, she changed forms. There in her place was a beautiful light brown haired werewolf as she raced away to catch herself something to eat. A soft howl escaping her throat. Moments later she returned after eating her prey, shifting back into that of more of a human appearance, Jiangu fixed her glasses back into place. Walking passed where Erik hide, though again she caught his scent she would finally speak again.

"I know your there...I can smell your scent."

Jiangu finally told him. Waiting for a reply she walked back towards the manor as she leaned against the railing for support. Glancing at her list, she marked down the area's outside that needed to be fixed. For starters the fence needed new wood on it because the older wood was falling apart and practically rotting off.

Erik stumbled back as she transformed into a wolf but stayed within his hiding spot, "she is like me? Th-ther are more?" he thought to himself in amazement. The wind blew reminding him of the cold when she came back and remarked at him though she didn't look at him. When she went inside he slowly stood up from his crouch and thought for a moment on what to do, there was someone else here someone like him, but she could be dangerous. Finally his curiousity won and he sighed as he sheathed his knife and silently walked up to the door knocking on it as he shifted his eight from foot to foot making sure his hood still covered his ears.

Jiangu walked back inside the manor, when he hadn't answered. The door closed.
Though she had no idea what Erik was trying to decide, let alone what he was thinking.
Then again she was glad she couldn't read people's minds. It would've been an overload of her sanity.
Besides she preferred to remain sane. Jiangu was only dangerous when she felt threatened, she was more so cautious about people she didn't know
because how was she to know if anyone was here to harm her or not. She didn't know that, so she had every right to remain cautious even more so when she had been shot once by a tranq gun and she refused to ever feel so horrible again. She had done it to save another. Glancing at the door however when she heard the sound of a knock
on it, Jiangu moved from where she had been leaning against slowly heading towards the door, the sound of the door creeked open, as she stared at who was on the other side of the door.

"Yes?"

She asked coming face to face with a young man. Noticing the hoodie on him she waited for him to speak. Though her nose wiggled due to the strong amount of dust in this old place. It would take her a good amount of time to make this place livable for anyone else who needed a home, a place to stay and live. But she was willing to make it happen.

Erik blinked, he had come here and had no clue what to say! He blinked and tried to think of something when a cold wind blew to the right making him shiver, "uh can I stay here? I have some jerky to trade for that..." he finally settled on saying as another gust of wind blew nearly knocking his hood off. He clutched it tightly though, the knife on his belt showed as he lifted his hand up as well as his black nails. "I-I won't harm you...I mean why would I? Your well you are a female and-" he sighed, "I should probably shut up right there... um I saw the transformation. I won't tell anyone, it is just really, really cold and I don't have any place to stay I have been outside of almost a month, and I can't go back home." he bluttered out and closed his mouth realizing he was rambling. He looked down keeping his hood low he really didn't want his ears shown, though to others it might seem like he didn't want his face shown.

Jiangu stared at the young man, her green eyes studying him as if she were trying to decide what to do about him.
Watching however the man shivering it almost made her feel somewhat guilty seeing him looking so cold literally made her feel
cold even though she was always too hot in body temperature. Sometimes if one were to notice it would almost seem like she always had a high fever though she didn't, she
just felt warm all the time. Hearing Erik's question, she pondered for awhile, though hearing his words, she blinked hearing him mention about not hurting her. Hearing him mention trading off jerky, what? Did he think she was some kind of person who would accept something like that? Shaking her head sadly at him, she wasn't going to accept that.
"I'm not taking your jerky for a place to stay. But how about this...if you wish to stay...your welcome too...I'm trying to fix this place up...and if you wish to stay longer...then you'll be assesed. For now you have come as some rogue, since your new here. You'll be placed as an assement. If you wish to stay that's fine...though please understand, that people have to follow under my rules...I don't have much of them...besides this place is in need of people to fix it."
Jiangu finally answered him. Moving out of the way she motioned for Erik to come inside.
"I'm Jiangu, Jiangu Langzongse. Alpha."
She introduced herself to him and her position. Though looking at Erik, she would ponder before she asked something else.
"I don't doubt you won't tell anyone you saw me, changing it's what we werewolves do."
She stated as she closed the door behind them. She wondered where the other member of this place was. She had allowed to live here, though they had promised to go pick up some groceries, so she sighed waiting for their return.

(Going to make another werewolf:) Their the one's who'll be getting the groceries)

Erik took her hand in his bandaged covered hand, "Erik...no last name...ummm no rank either?" He said a bit confused it was obvious he was new at this. He walked inside with a sigh of relief, "sure I can help...I am good at hunting..." he remarked. As he stepped inside and knocked the snow off his boots. "S-so you know what I am?" he asked her, still not taking off his coat or hood, "umm do you need me to put my knife or satchel anywhere?" he asked her as he sneezed at all the dust in the room, "sorry." he muttered as he warmed his arms.

Aio-mary let out a small sigh as she paced around her tiny studio apartment, paintings of the wildlife half finished around her room. She couldn't think of what to do next! She ran a rough hand through her hair and snarled in anger before coming to a conclusion. She couldn't stay in this room, she would go mad if she did. She plodded through her room and grabbed the thickest coat she had, before she went outside. She shuddered a little as the cold air brushed her cheek, wrapping her arms around her form for a moment before her hand reached into her pocket and pulled out a cigarette and a lighter. She stood outside the door way, shuddering a little as her calloused fingers fumbled with the light, trying to get the blasted thing to work. Finally there was a spark and her face was bathed in the warm candle glow before she lit her cigarette. She smiled as she flipped the lid of lighter closed and inhaled the smoke deeply before walking down the sidewalk.

She wondered where she would go when her stomach rumbled and reminded her that she needed food. To the grocery store then. Her booted feet clomped down the sidewalk before she put out the cigarette and walked into the small store, she had no idea if there was any of her 'kind' there. She couldn't smell much other then the smell of smoked tobacco that clung to her clothes.

Jiangu shook his hand as she noticed Erik had bandages on it, a part of her wanted to ask him what had happened that had him sustain such injuries.
Though she decided the last thing he needed was to be bombared by her questions. Though she nodded her head in response, a gentle smile showing on her face.
"Nice to meet you, Erik."
Jiangu answered him as she studied him with those green eyes of hers. Though noticing the look of confusion she wondered if Erik had ever been in a pack before.
"All werewolf and wolf packs along have ranking. It's amost like they get specified jobs that they only do to help contribute. After your here for a week and I feel like this is the place for you,and you do too...come talk to me, and we'll see about giving you a rank of a hunter, alright?"
She asked him. Hearing his words after she had closed the door. She wondered where the hell Damon was, he was late once again. He better have not bothered buying booze again, they needed food too. He could spend his own money on booze.
"Your help would be greatly appreciated Erik."
She answered him. Though hearing Erik's question she nodded her head gently pushing up her glasses. Without them she was as blind as a bat in her human form. Werewolf form it wasn't a problem.
"Yeah, it's quite obvious with your scent. Why you weren't able to tell?"
She asked him a look of surprise on her face. Though hearing Erik asking her about his knife and satchel. She pondered.
"You can put it in the room you'll be staying if you would like. Though be warned this place needs a lot of work. It's why I'm trying to make it better. I'll show you what rooms aren't taken...and fair warning...don't go into Damon's room. He gets really pissed off."
Jiangu answered Erik, as she headed up the stairs waiting for Erik to follow her so that she could show him where he could stay or allow him to pick a room.
"Sadly I don't make much money, I'm going to look into looking for work, so we can get some paint to paint this place up. I don't own much, but we make it last as best as we can."
She answered him once he had followed and they were upstairs wher ethe rooms were.

Damon, entered the grocery store, a bored look on his face. Glancing at Jiangu's neat writing he rolled his eyes as he had to go get groceries. Though he wasn't about to piss her off by objecting to her request. She had already given him the option of either cleaning that ruined manor up or going to buy groceries. He didn't do cleaning or dusting or any of that. When she was done all that he'd be fine with repairs, but other then that he wouldn't bother arguing with the alpha. Grabbing a grocery shopping cart, he headed into the isle closest to him and began gathering items on the list. Jiangu however would be wrong he hadn't bought any beer to take back with him, though he had gone out for a bottle of beer to drink, so the scent of beer was on his breath. He used his own money for that and he didn't think he wasn't able to do that. Not even thinking of the possibility as he walked down a certainl isle that he would even run into another like him. However it wasn't until he walked down a few isles from then when he caught a scent, sniffing he glanced in the direction of a woman. She reeked werewolf, though it wasn't that she stunk...it was just obvious by her scent what she was.

Erik nodded, "um I was only recently turned? Is that the correct term...When I woke up covered in blood and meat in my mouth I-I fled to the wilds....I haven't met any one else til now...I can help rebuilding as well I made my own shelters." he remarked as he followed her up the stairs slipping a bit before catching himself, his hood falling off as he let out a small yelp in surprise. He didn't have time to cover his ears but he tried to plaster them to his head.

Aio-mary wasn't really too aware of her own scent, she had gotten used to the smell of fresh rain fall that clung to her skin, fresh tobacco, the musk of a werewolf and another scent that was all her own. She happened to looking at a drink mix for booze pondering if she should be cheap and buy it for practice or make her own. She sighed as she put it down when she suddenly caught the musky scent of a male near her. She almost dropped her basket. She turned around and couldn't help but let out a small snarl before regaining control of herself, she hated when she did that.

She would be a sight to see, gray paint, green, and brown paint on her face, hair, and hands and an unlit cigarette in her mouth. Her jacket was old and had some holes in it, and her jeans were tattered in the knees and upper leg. It exposed slightly tanned skin and trim legs, legs that some men would dream of. She looked around to try and find the other predator, her eyes looking like that of an animal before the gray orbs landed on the male. She looked him up and down, trying to see if how much of a threat he was before she approached him, her hips swaying. She stood close to him, getting close enough to bother anyone, on the edge of his personal space.

Jiangu listened as Erik explained to her about being recently turned. Her expression changed as she looked somewhat saddened to hear about him being left alone like that. Realizing he must have been so frightened. Nodding her head showing Erik she was listening was well as that she understood. Though hearing his question she gave a nod showing that she had heard him.
"Yes that's the correct term. You must have been so frightened. Sadly I don't know how that feels because I was born and raised as a werewolf. My parents were werewolves."
She explained to him. Hearing Erik offering to help, she nodded giving him a thankful look.
"All the help is greatly appreciated. It's sad to think that this place has been left so long abandoned. I know it'll look much better once it's fixed up."
As they walked up the stairs she hadn't been aware that he had almost slipped however hearing his yelp of surprise she glanced at him in time to see his ears. Staring at them she wondered why he wanted to hide them.
"What's wrong, Erik?"
She asked him as she looked at him a little confused as to why he had yelped.

As Damon was in that same isle as Aio-mary, his eyes glanced at her, and as he heard a snarl coming from her, his eyes narrowed almost in annoyance.
'What was her problem.'
Damon wondered annoyed as he wasn't about to take his length of time enough to have Jiangu down his throat with how long he had taken, though he growled back at Ai-mary not knowing if she was going to try to pick a fight or whatever. Watching her as she watched him, Damon watched her approach him. The amount of personal space between them being not giving, he wondered what was this woman's issue anyways. He didn't show that he was a threat though he moved so suddenly bystepping around her, as he continued on, in a sense he was pretty much dismissing her attitude as if he was use to that all the time, considering he was like that all the time himself. Glancing at the list he continued on grabbing things from the shelves.

Erik pulled up his hood embarassed by his ears, "S-sorry, scared myself there..." he said with a nervous chuckle, "It isn't so bad...just can't see my family is all..." he said trying to sound like that didn't bother him, he cleared his throat and quickly changed the subject, "so how long does it take for someone to gain control of themselves when they change?" he asked her curious, he didn't want the taste of blood and unknown meat in his mouth ever again if he could help it. "and um is there a cure?" he asked her.

Aio-mary was close enough to smell the beer on his breath, the musk of the werewolf, and a scent that was his own. She didn't back down at the sound of his throaty growl, most would have, most females would have, but not her. She even smiled when he growled back but she didn't push it, even seeming to calm down when he didn't seem to be a threat. A long leg backed away from him as he sidestepped around her, giving his space back. She stared at him for awhile before sighing and approaching him once more, she should at least apologize to him.

As he grabbed something off of the shelf she tapped his shoulder. “Hey...sorry about that...haven't seen many...well ya know...around here. It got me riled up...” She said softly before grabbing a box off of the shelf and putting it in her basket. “How can I make it up to ya? Oh, maybe I can make ya a drink some time?” She offered, trying to make some peace between them.

Jiangu glanced away as she studied the poor condition of the old manor, though as Erik apologized she glanced back at him when she heard a chuckle.
Nodding her head, though she didn't understand about not seeing family in the same situation as he had, she did however understand about what it was like not being able to see her own. Though it was entirely a different situation then Erik's.
"I can't say I know how that feels...and it's alright, Erik."
Jiangu replied, though she looked at him as she spoke again.
"Though I do know what it's like not being able to see my family...except completely different situation then yours."
She explained, though she didn't go into it. Something told her otherwise though he acted like it didn't bother him about not getting to see his own family, she somehow doubted that it didn't bother him. But she wouldn't press it from him. So she wouldn't say anything else about it. If he wanted to talk about it, then fine. Though hearing Erik's question, she glanced at him.
"Hmmm sometimes it varies. I guess it depends on the person really. I know it took Damon a long time to do it, he wouldn't admit that though...but he still can't control it now and it's been almost half a year."
Jiangu answered him. Though hearing the other question about there being a cure, she shook her head sadly at him.
"Sadly there is no cure, Erik."
She said as she gave him an apologetic look.

Damon didn't expect her to back down by his growl. He only did it to clearly show he wasn't going to allow even a woman to growl at him just because. He got that from his alpha already though, he had to let that slide from Jiangu. But he wasn't going to put up with anyone else giving him attitude. When he walked away he wouldn't give Aio-mary a second thought. That was until he felt a tap on his shoulder causing him to look at her. He didn't smile. His eyes studied hers almost cautiously. Not quite sure what to expect from her. Though surprise showed on her expression as he heard the woman's apology. Hearing her words he blinked at her, he hadn't expected to hear her apologizing. Brushing the white hair and black streaks from his face as he tossed something into the cart he turned his attention back onto her. Not sure what to really think about this woman.
"Not that I didn't deserve it."
He would say as he looked at her. Whether that surprised her, he shrugged.
"I've been told that I act like a prick at times. No biggie. Though you may have to get use to it, there's a few of us around here. I live with some."
He said shaking his head, though he didn't know about the newcomer he was meaning he lived with Jiangu he didn't want people assuming he and Jiangu were together when they weren't. She was just an alpha to him. Nothing more. A companion perhaps but nothing that meant anything that great to him. Though hearing the woman asking him something, he blinked surprised that she was asking about making it up to him.
"Don't worry about it."
He said shrugging as in telling her she didn't have to go out of her way to do anything.
"I do come drinking here a lot.."
He said, but stopped what he was going to say and shrugged.





((OOC-I'm still hanging on the cliff wondering what's going to happen to Ashlin too. Gah the suspense:P ))

Erik sighed, "guess those movies where true then...err what about the whole silver bullets?" he asked her, "and are there any ya know werewolf hunters I should be wary of?" he asked obviously wanting to know everything he could, it got to hot for him and he sighed as he took off his jacket, his head was starting to itch with his ears pressed against his head like they were. So he sighed in defeat and let them perk up like how they usually were. "...these won't turn back to human ears..." he muttered before she could ask about them blushing a bit.

The twenty-one year old nodded her head, taking her unlit cigarette out of her mouth and tucking it behind her ear. She looked down at the ground, almost looking ashamed by her own behavior. “No, no ya didn't. I can't really explain my behavior other then to say...well the...the group I lived with before...they weren't especially nice to me, to women in general.” She commented, it was the best way she could explain herself without going to deep into her past, not with this stranger.

She rubbed the back of her head before looking up at him, her gray eyes now looking more human then before, and not nearly as angry and she gave him a polite smile. “I have been told I act like a...well it rhymes with witch. If only they knew how right they were.” She said with a small chuckle. “But it was still rude of me.” She tilted her head and stared at him, surprised to hear that there were more of their kind out there. “Damn...really? I probably should stay out of their way huh? I don't get along with packs...don't trust them.” She said softly before shaking her head, her black hair whipping around her paint covered face.

Her ears perked up at the fact that he drank and she grinned at him. “So do I...but then again I am a bartender, I am supposed to know if what I make tastes right?” She smiled wolfishly at him, a playful look in her gray eyes. “It is the least I can do, besides it would be good to drink with someone again. Plus...I have a new recipe that I want to try out and I need a guinea pig. Or if you don't want to be that then stop by my bar, it is the one on the corner called 'Hell's Hounds.' Ask for for me, names Aio-mary Doe." She said, holding out a calloused hand.

Jiangu blinked hearing Erik's questions.
"I wouldn't exactly say that.."
Jiangu answered Erik about the movies. She knew the movies overstretched the truth about things like Werewolves.
"Silver bullets don't kill us, but they do injure us. It's more like an allergic reaction more then killing us like how hollywood portrays in the movies. They tend to overstretch the truth a lot about races."
Jiangu answered Erik. Hearing Erik's other question she glanced at him. She didn't honestly know about the werewolf hunters. She was lucky she hadn't ever ran into them, though she was sure they were out there.
"I don't know about werewolf hunters, someone told me once they do exist but I've never ran into them...though you do have to beware of other werewolves, their are enemy clans that would kill on sight someone who was merely passing by. Their more territorial then the usual werewolf is of their territory."
She explained pushing those glasses back up at the brim of her nose. Though watching Erik, she couldn't help but noticing the blush after he muttered something.
"I'm sorry I didn't catch that."
She answered regarding what he had muttered.

Damon stared at the woman, listening to what she had to say. If she was a male she would've gotten the silent treatment. He had no memory of what had happened to him, so he simply had no passed as far as he was concerned. Though hearing her mentioning group, his brown eyes looked at her not really changing in expresson on his face. He didn't really show like he was going to press on about her past.
"That's me in a nutshell...except for men...I don't trust them...Women...well I guess I've been told I'm more of an ass to newcomers in the pack and especially when it's men. Though how is one to know what kind of person comes into the pack."
He said shaking his head, his white and black streaked hair falling neatly behind him. Hearing her words he laughed getting what she was going to say.
"I've been told I act like an ass and a prick a lot. But I honestly don't give a rats ass if I do or what."
He answered. Though hearing the woman's words, he shrugged.
"Nah...it's just Jiangu and me...she's the alpha and she's pretty laid back...she'll call someone on their bullcrap but other then that she's alright. It's just us two...but sometimes she might as well be two different people. She's busy trying to get this place we're residing in repaired hoping more like us will come to live with us and become a pack."
Damon answered rolling his eyes, he didn't seem as enthralled about that. But he didn't bother to say otherwise. Hearing what she would say he nodded.
"Me Niether."
He agreed about not trusting them. Watching the woman's black hair covering her painted face, he didn't seem to notice or commented on it. Though hearing her mentioning about bartending and the place she worked at, he laughed as he ran his fingers through his hair.
"I just came from there."
He said. Nodding his head in agreement about bartenders needing to make sure the booze was good enough for the customers, that would be the only answer she got from Damon on that subject. Though he wouldn't comment on the guinea pig comment but simply shrugged almost an inbetween sure or whatever he was neutral on that, but didn't seem bothered by the idea. Hearing her giving him her name, he nodded again.
"Alright. Well I'll see you around then. I better get these groceries back at Jiangu before she thinks I blew all the money drinking again."
He laughed as he pushed the cart on. Though if she followed he wouldn't have been annoyed.

Eriks' ears twitched, "My ears...they didn't turn back when I changed back into a human for the first time...I don't think they will." he said, "It makes me stick out in towns so I stay in the wilds." he commented as he tied his jacket around his waist, "so what are the others like?" he asked curious about the other werewolves were like here. He sniffed the air, "can we tone down are sense of smell or hearing?" he asked, his first experiance with his sharpened sense of smell was garbage and he nearly threw up because of that. He winced as he accidently brushed his bandaged hand against a wall.

Jiangu listened to Erik, as she glanced at him hearing what he had to say, though surprise about the ears. Then again she never really had to think about such problems being born as a werewolf and raised by werewolf parents.
"From what I know, there is a way to make them go back...though I'm thinking since your recently turned you can't do it yet. I honestly don't know how it's like or went through that considering I've been around others of our kind,though I can say I'm willing to try to help you through that. Whether I can though, I don't know but it doesn't hurt to try. Though hearing Erik's question about the others she blinked and laughed.
"Well there isn't many. Though like I said, Damon's kinda moody,hot headed....he's really grouchy and tends to give newcomers the cold shoulder. But give him time, he's not so bad. He's just untrusting towards others. You see he went through what you did....except.."
Jiangu was about to tell him about Damon not remembering about his life beforehand but wondered if it was wise to do so, she decided against telling Erik, Damon's business.
"Except different situation altogether. Though one day you'll know. I wish I could tell you but it isn't my story to tell."
She answered him finally. Though hearing another question, she shook her head at Erik.
"Sadly you never dimmer thouse senses and if it were to happen it's usually something to worry about."
She answered.

Erik nodded a bit sadly, "Ah I just need to get used to it then. First time was...unpleasant." he said with a shudder. He tested out his injured hand and saw the bandage turn red. "...damn..." he muttered revealing a nasty gash on his hand, he took out a new bandage from his satchel and wrapped it tightly around. "I hope I don't cause you guys to much trouble. If I do I promise I will leave."

Jiangu gave Erik an understanding nod.
"Yeah"
She said answering him. Though watching his hand, and him re-bandaging it, she listened to his words.
"I can't say it'll get easier as it's up to you. Only time will tell,Erik."
She answered him. Though hearing his words she shook her head and pushed her glasses back up.
"Don't worry about that, right now."
She answered regarding him having to be too much trouble, or the leaving part.
