Erik looked at him. Just blinking as he wasnâ€™t trying to dangle anything in front of or about. He just blinked and finished off his steak. He looked at him. â€œCuriousity killed the cat. Along with other natural enemies to the cat.â€ He listened to the man speak. His eyes went wide. For a second shock flickered through his eyes. Then it was gone. â€œYour home is always welcome to me...â€ He blinked a bit. In case something happens? Like what? What could possibly happen? He just blinked. He looked at him. Lonely...so the guy was lonely in his home. â€œUh...thanks.â€ he said. Attempting a smile but failed. This smiling business was hard. He drank more coffee. Pouring yet another cup.<br/><br/>He looked at Hayden as he spoke again. Tilting his head to the side much like a dog would in curiousity or studying of someone. â€œHmm?â€ he said simply. Tilting his head up straight again. â€œNo. I donâ€™t.â€ he said seriously. â€œI do not see you as a cocky jerk. You seem to have potential to at times be cocky...but I donâ€™t see it. Nor do I see a jerk. I know jerks...you arenâ€™t being one right now.â€ He listened to the man as he continued to speak. â€œAre you sure you are acting? You can be a damaged soul...and yet...still have come so far like you. That is what you have been telling me isnâ€™t it? Well not in those exact words but something similar.â€<br/><br/>He closed his eyes and sipped away. â€œYes...we are...friends.â€ He said softly. He jumped as that crack of lightning and the thunder made him groan. It was so LOUD. So fricking LOUD! He shook his head. â€œI like to dance in the ran. Or walk. Or run. It is liberating.â€ He said softly. He shook his head and his eyes seemed to sparkle a bit. â€œCome on? You canâ€™t tell me you and cut loose and just...took a walk in nature. When the world itself seemed to be crying its eyes out.â€ He sighed a bit. â€œI like rainy nights because...I can pretend...the world is crying for me. What my father beat into me was not allowed...crying that is. I...havenâ€™t cried since I was little.â€ He shrugged a bit.<br/><br/>Then looked at the man. â€œThanks for breakfast dinner...brinner.â€ He walked outside into the rain. Lifting his face to the tears of heaven. Just standing there in the rain. His wolf howling as if there was nothing more than the greatest event in the world. He just waited for Hayden to come out. He yawned and stretched. His hand fisted and began to rub his left eye. As his eyes were half drooping. His mouth opened slightly in a cute sounding yawn. â€œI shouldâ€™ve slept...more than a week ago.â€ He mumbled to himself.
