Cody turned around on his stool and leaned back against counter. His head was starting to swim with all the information on the state of the city. He realized that if what Denali and the rest of the people here were saying was true, he would have to rest and leave in under a week. He didn't mind conflict, but he didn't really want to get involved if it wasn't his fight or if he didn't want to. He tossed several ideas around in his head while Koja explained what he did around the area.

Once Keiji was finished, Cody apologized,"Sorry about that. I'm not the best with names. I can remember a face most of the time, but I can't remember names for the life of me." Cody shrugged,"I'll just call you Koda then. It's easier to say and kinda catchy."

The rain began to fall harder and wind began to pick up. His mind and attention went back to what Denali had said about herself. No wonder she looks razzled, must have had a lousy day with the beauricrats. Ouch. He looked back outside the window as a flash of light briefly lit the darkness. Though Cody was pretty chill with many things, the booming thunder caused him to jump a little. He turned his head at the moving of a chair and the near silent pawsteps which led to the stairs. He followed the direction of the noise and notice some clothes on the floor and some fur sticking out behind the steps. Must have really been a lousy day. He saw Chin-Mae approach the Denali's lynx form and couldn't help but smile. Even a human has compassion on us and even we have weaknesses.

His sensitive ears caught what the waitress had said. So this place a haven, like the eye of a hurricane,"He mumbled.

He heard the rain began to light up just a tad,"The rain seems to be lightening up a bit. I think I'll take a chance and try to head back to the place where I'm staying."

He got up from his seat and began his walk to the door.

(forgive me for not posting for soo long..i had no muse for posting here)

Denali laid there and listened to movement by the counter she had been at. The sound of footsteps and something move across the floor. Before she knew it the girl was next to her wrapping her up in the towel and trying to comforte her. Naturaly Denali would have clawed someone's eyes out for doing such a thing, her natural instints too strange in the form to allow others to handle her. heck even in her human form no one could or would handle her. She rested her head on the girl staring off blankly with her golden, green specked eyes. She was soo tired, her stress had pushed her to the limit and she was sure she would stay in the form till sometime tomorrow. The soothe feeling of being petted, though very odd, relaxed Denali.Stay here? I could..and then figure out what to do with my self...She thought.

Then suddenly a phone went off making her lift her head up, ears perked. With a sigh she got up to walk down the stairs to her clothes. She pawed around till she got a phone out. Being that she had paws and not hands the phone fell and slid across the floor into the open where the others could see it. Gracefully her made one leap down to the phone and opened it with her teeth. She was glade she had done with before and had it down."Hello.." Her voice had a hint of a purr and a soft almost seductive tone. It was always like this in her lynx form. She listened to the person on the phone go on and on about her appartment."I NOW!" She finally snapped, twitching her lil tail."I'm in no mood to deal with you! And stop calling me before i put charges on you!" She hissed and pawed at her phone till it closed. She sat down and shook her head slowly from side to side.

Glancing back at the girl she gave a smile as best she could in her lynx form." A room would be wonderful...thankyou.

(sorry for the long absence. I had finals, had to travel home, and these past two weeks have been busy. As a warning, I'm not on as much over the summer. Good to be back. By the way, anthro form refers to the Cody's half werewolf form)

"See ya all later," Cody waved to those inside.

He took one last look at the cafe before he went outside. Sure enough, the rain had died down somewhat. He looked both ways to make sure the coast was clear. Seeing that it was he began walking left. He mulled over the conversations over his meal. He didn't quite believe them...But I'm gonna keep an open mind on this. Last thing I want, is to get involved in a war. Cody took a peek behind him and glanced at the rooftops. After being certain, by sight and by smell, he disapeared into the nearby ally. I wonder if that person following me was out for my blood...hope not...oh well, it's not gonna do me any good worrying about it.


He began to shift into his Anthro-form. Unlike the werewolves he had met thus far, he could shift in an instant if he desired. He felt his nails on his feet and hand morph into claws. He felt his tail form. Fur grew across his body as he his muzzle and teeth formed. In less than a second he was finished. He opened his eyes and cracked his neck. Much more comfortable. Cody preferred one of his fur forms over human form, the two legged one his most favorite of the three. With the invisibility his fur gave him, he dashed onto the rooftops and disappeared into the night.
