"Right, a friend," Connor agreed. He was skeptical, but didn't push it. Maybe nothing had happened. Maybe a drunk buddy had needed a place to crash. "I had a friend over last night, too, as you can see," he commented and shrugged, trying to mask his desperate longing to clarify things. "Nothing happened over here, though." Connor was fighting to sound casual, and Jeff obviously wanted to leave. "Well, have a good morning." Connor turned away and started straightening out his bed.
***
"Maybe if I give you some pain-killers you could run on it?" Curtis suggested, "or would you rather not risk it? Even if we can't go out in wolf form, I would like to investigate and find out who left that... substance... near my house."

Luka came out of the bathroom. "So, how did you sleep?" She went and sat rather obnoxiously on the bed that Connor was obviously trying to fix. "I think your matress is softer than mine. It's nice."
~~~~~~
Yakov barely waited untill Jeff came into the room. "Dude man, I have a serious problem. I'm kind of lacking clothes."

Jeff just shut the door when Yakov explained his clothing situation. Jeff got an idea and acted on it before he could actually think about it. He opened teh door again and poped his head into Connors room, "Hey can Yakov borrow a pair of jeans and a T-shirt, he left all his clothes in his room last night."
----------------------------------
Kat nodded. "I want to at least be outside, I'm starting to feel a little clastrophobic." Before they left the cabin she grabbed one of the scarfs they are bought and made a homemade sling.

Connor ceased in his bed-making and scowled at her. "Well enough to not notice a six-foot long wolf in my bed," he answered. He tossed the pillow that he was holding into her face. Just as Connor was about to respond to the "soft mattress" comment, Jeff was reappearing and asking about spare clothes.
"Uh... sure..." Connor answered uncertainly. "But I'll need them back soon. I only have a few outfits worth of clothes." He pulled a shirt and the baggiest pants he owned out of his drawers. "He is a lot taller than me, isn't he?"
***
Soon Curtis and Katra were back outside, in human form and in the general area where she had stepped in... whatever it was. They were accompanied by flashlights now. Though Curtis would have preferred to run about freely as a wolf, at least being in this form would prevent any humans from being frightened by them.
"Here's our culprit," he mumbled as he shone his light's beam over the pile of goop with a large wolf print right in the middle of it.

Luka caught the pillow and tossed it back at Connor. "Yeah, like half a foot. Jeff, just use yours, it's easier to make things shorter you silly."
~~~~~~
Yakov was going to kill Jeff. He was seriously going to kill him.

Jeff flushed again as he shut the door and turned to Yakov. He half expected him to throw sometihng at his head.
----------------------------------
kat sniffed about but could only smell smoke.
"I can't use my sences as well now. But I think I smell smoke somewhere around here." She looked around trying to see if she could catch a direction.

After catching the pillow, Connor merely dropped it on his chair.
"Well, that was strange," he admitted. "At least you didn't need to borrow clothes. He decided to start brushing his hair, partly out of needing to do something, and partly to see if Luka would interrupt that as well.
***
Curtis tensed as he continued to investigate the strange substance. He couldn't believe that he hadn't recognized it before.
"This is napalm," he growled.

Luka watched him run the brush through his hair several times before she couldn't stand it anymore. "Can I..." She took the brush from his hand, sat him on the bed and began brushing his hair ignoring all protestations.
~~~~~~
Yakov was pissed. "What the hell is wrong with you man?! You could've just went to my room and got me clothes, but no! You just start screaming all over the place about how you've got me naked in your room! What, do you just want to go tell everyone?! Do want me to have a giant sign to carry around: "I slept with Jeff?!"

"N...napalm! What the hell is napalm doing out in the middle of the woods?! My arm isn't going to fall off is it?" Kat was not only susrprised but suddenly more concerned about her arm than before. She took a step backwards and hit a tree. She had barely tapped it and it started the creak. The tree wasn't very big but it didn't look very healthy. The bark was falling off and most of the needles were brown. The tree creaked one last time before splitting in two and fell to the ground with a loud crash. Kat jumped at the sound.
---------------------------------
Jeff was releived that Yakov wasn't throwing anything but he didn't like Yakov yelling either. "I'm sorry, sometimes I don't think before I act..." His voice came out unfamiliarly small and weak. He went over to his closet and pulled out a pair of jeans that were a size too small for himself and tossed it onto the bed. He then went in search of the perfect shirt...

"It won't fall off," Curtis tried to assured her as he looked at the felled tree. "But... it may scar." His brow dipped into a scowl as he surveyed the considerably more noticeable damage done to the clearing. "Who would do something like this? Did they see me in wolf form? It's fortunate that it didn't reach the cabin but... I wonder how far the damage goes?" He turned to Katra. She looked understandably nervous.
"I'm going to investigate some more. Don't feel like you have to go with me if you don't want to."
***
Connor hadn't been able to put up as much of a fight as he'd wanted to due to his injuries, but he did plenty of verbal fussing, mainly to assure Luka that he hadn't gone completely soft on her and that he was not incapable of taking care of himself.
"You just can't get enough of my hair, can you?" he asked cheekily.

Kat looked around and figured she might slow Curtis down. "I think I will look around here to see if I can't see any foot prints or what not, you would make better ground if you run on all fours. Don't worry about me." She half smiled and went back to searching for any evidence.

Aurora heard the sound of a tree falling.
Well, honestly the normal person wouldn't know what the sound of tree falling is short of having a chainsaw noise first... but Aurora had been in the forest quite a lot you see and miraculously managed to be nearby when a tree fell. It had surprised her substantially. The whole process was almost completely silent (the cracking of wood inside was even almost indiscernable) and when it hit the earth the sound was exactly like that of a tennis ball bouncing off a cement curb. Aurora had actually spun around quite suddenly wondering what a tennis ball would be doing in the forest when she noticed the newly fallen tree... so she remembered the sound well.
After a moment there were voices also. She wondered who or what it might be. Being a cat, curiousity demanded that she know... of course having stealth didn't hurt either.

"No, I can't. And I really don't care what you are or aren't capable off, I mostly just care about me." Luka smirked at the back of his head. "So, what you want doesn't really matter right now," she teased.
~~~~~~
"Okay, you know what dude, if people see me walk out of this room in your clothes, I'm never gonna hear the end of it. It's like...so embarassing. Seriously, can't you just go get me my clothes."

Jeff raised an eyebrow, "Do you want people to see me go into your room and take clothes out of it? Plus, do you want me to leave you here, alone, with your sister and Connor? What if Kat comes by to meet for our chem paper? She could easily smell you and know that you were here..." Jeff pulled out a light blue tee with a silver coat of arms on the front out of the closet and threw it at Yakovs face. "You are going to put these clothes on and you are going to like it!" Jeff hadn't ment to sound so,...in comand but he was tired of Yakovs whining.
