Jeff blinked once then stared at Luka. After a second he said, "You are one insightful little thing arn't you?!" She was hell of a lot smarter than Jeff ever gave her credit for. Not that he didn't think she was smart but hell. She had hit it right on the spot. Then again it was her brother they were talking about. She had grown up with the little basterd. Jeff suddenly felt horrible that he had thrown him so hard into the wall. He had left a dent! "s**t, Luka, I threw him into a wall! I hope he's ok, should we go check on him?" He started figiting nervously with the wrist bands covering the scars on his wrists.

"Oh no, if you go 'crawling' back to him, he'll take it as a sign of total control on his part. He will take advantage of you for the rest of your life. And hey," Luka turned Jeff's face towards her. "remember, he does like you. He Will Come Back. As for throwing him into the wall..." She giggle at the thought. "do you know anyone who's likely to want to go through that again? Hopefully it will teach him to think before he speaks. Oh baby, you're all a fluster. Do you have any tea in here or something?"

"Uh, yeah over there." He pointed to his lower drawer near his desk space. He kept all his canned and boxed foods down there and all his fruit and such in his cabinets. He was still concerned, he wanted to make sure Yakov had not received any serious injuries, then again...Jeff remembered that Yakov was a were and healed faster than the frail humans about him.
Jeff went over to the drawer and pulled out his jar of green tea and pulled out three individual packets. "Uh,...would you or Connor like some?"

"I would absolutely love some." She went back towards Connor's room. "Hey Connor, would you like to join us for some tea?" She gave him a look that said 'no is very much the wrong answer'.

Aurora let a giddy laugh excape her when she recognized the voice.
"HI!" She leapt down from the tree to greet the big werewolf, when suddenly a very new and unpleasant smell stopped her in her tracks.
"Woah! What the hell-- what is that smell!?" Aurora looked around herself and finally noticed that there were large strange globs of some liquid puddled and piddled around at random...

"Sure, but... what the hell's going on?" Connor wanted to know as he stood stiffly. Jeff had obvious just had a fight with something. His yelling could likely have been heard all over the building and then some. But... why? And who? It wasn't really his business, so Connor neglected to ask either of those as he shuffled into Jeff's room. He'd never really been in it before, as the bathroom door was on his side of the wall.
Though he wasn't about to admit it, Connor was disappointed. He'd been alone with Luka for the first time in a while and hadn't been asleep, and for some reason that mattered.

"Napalm," Curtis answered as he surveyed the area around them. He had dropped the clothing in his mouth upon greeting her. "Someone was trying to destroy either this forest, or something in it. I started trailing them not long ago." He indicated the tire tracks with a nod of his large, white head.

Kat continued wandering closer the the center of this flat grey area. As she got closer the smell started affecting her in more ways than her gag reflex. She started getting light headed and she could feel her ears slowly poke out through her hair, Same with her tail. She had to get out of there. She suddenly panicked and turned around to head back to the forest but her vision started getting cloudy. She started running but quickly lost her balance and toppled over. She attempted to stand back up but she was too weak. Within a few more seconds she was drifting in and out of consiousness. At one point she thought she saw mutiple figures around her and strange pain on the side of her neck. Then she was out again.

"It seems that my brother is even more of b*****d than I initially gave him credit for...and I gave him a lot of credit. Oh Jeff, stop it and sit down." She took any tea making parphenalia that Jeff had in his hands and shooed him away. "Really, go sit. I've got this."

Aurora froze.
"Napalm?" She looked up at him. "Napalm? Like the stuff they use in war? The stuff they call liquid fire? THAT Napalm?" A certain sense of unease had crept over her...

Jeff didn't say anything at first. He willingly handed Luka the tea and he just sank to the ground. He sat with his legs criss cross and just turned his head from Luka to Connor.
"uh, Yakov and I were just fighting." He tried a half hearted smile in Connors direction. Jeff couldn't keep himself from now scratching at hs wrists. He pulled the wrist bands off and starting digging at teh scars.

"Yes," Curtis sighed, "That sort of Napalm. We're fortunate that we were not here when it was... unleashed. We'd both be dead or wishing we were." He gazed longingly down the path were the napalm-toting vehicle seemed to have gone. "You may come with me, if you wish, or you can go to my cabin. Katra is in that area."

Jeff was beginning to make Connor uneasy as he scratched at his own wrists. Was he clinically insane as well as a werewolf? That sounded like an all-around bad combination. All the same, Connor found himself speaking.
"Hey man... you sure you wanna be doin' that to yer wrists?"

"What's he..." Luka turned and saw Jeff attack his wrists and she dove on top of him trying to pull his arms apart, but Jeff's extra hight wasn't helping. "Jeff stop it! Connor, get down here and HELP ME!"

Jeff wasn't expecting Luka to jump on him, he wasn't even sure what Connor was talking about, he wasn't doing anything with his wrists, but as he thought this he looked down to his wrists that she was trying to pin down. He saw teh blood and almost freaked. It wasn't the fact that there was blood, it was the fact that he hadn't noticed he was tearing at wrists again. He hadn't caused blood from himself since high school.

Connor really wasn't sure how in the world he could be helpful in this strange development, but somehow when Luka spoke he had to act. After desperately looking around he found a hand-towel and seized one of Jeff's wrists from Luka, wrapping the towel tightly around the bleeding area.
It was bizarre on more levels than he had imagined, not only being in a room with wolves and not trying to kill them, but drying to stop one form killing itself.

Luka was practically sitting on Jeff's other arm. "Jeff...look at me. Jeff!" She smacked him across the face.
