Alec continued to sit along the grass; his body frozen like a gargoyle as he was silent, watching as Eva walked away, holding his body tall and his head high as he focused on her; the soft sway of her hips enticing him. He watched as she moved her hands into her pockets, slightly revealing more of her lithe body. He looked away as she rounded the corner, moving farther away from the school grounds. He stood up, looking around at the kids as they bustled around the school yard, catching up with their protective werewolves. As he glanced around, he noticed the sight of a vampire, and he became thoroughly surprised by her presence; vampires oddly scarce in this area.<br/><br/>Alec settled into a slow walk behind Eva, keeping space between them, though happily listening to her talk and feeling the growing confusion that seemed to play off her emotions. He brushed it off, deciding to let her think, as the silence of her voice showed she wanted to be lost in her own thoughts. He guided his large paws in slow, large strides along the sidewalk, making sure to watch Eva more carefully as they town became more dismal, run down. He could hear the gentle taping of his claws hitting the concrete as he steadily walked, keeping his head slightly down, his ears forward, listening to the sounds around him. He noticed the figure of a body at his side, though quickly realized it as himself; his charcoal coat and piercing eyes staring back at him through the glass window.<br/><br/>His head perked up as he noticed a man, slowly approaching Eva, walking across the street, as suspicious look upon his face.<span style="font-style: italic">He must be dumb.</span>He thought, beginning to roll his eyes, though quickly stopped as he noticed the silver in his hand; a knife now brought out. He thrusted forward, pushing his back legs hard in an effort to clear the distance between himself and Eva. He accomplished the distance in a few strides and pushed against her, alerting her with his emotions. He turned away from her before seeing her reaction, and instead set his sights on the dimwitted man. The man held his knife forward, ready to thrust it at Alec. Alec pushed away his confusion before pouncing forward, landing his weight against the man's chest. Alec heard the loud breath come out of the man with a "omph", his knife now laying a few meters away. Alec held him down, his large paw pushing the man hard against the concrete; he growled, baring his ivory canines before chomping at his throat; a spare second not thought the action. Alec backed away, licking the copper tasting blood away before turning to Eva. He pushed his muzzle against her leg before disappearing into their apartment.
