It was relieving for Lucan that Eryan took the berries. He looked on with a small smile, admiring how her lips moved with each small chew. It was a subtle attraction but enough to catch the attention of the wolf inside of him, whome Lucan struggled to keep complacent.<br/><br/>A smile stretched across Lucan's lips as Eryan explained the other reasons behind her partial fatigue. Lucan joined in with a small chuckle.<br/><br/>"You know, for the most part I agree with ya, these extra sensitive senses do tend to take in more than needed. But on the flip side it is a bit nice to know who to have small talk with, and who you want to keep their mouth shut." Lucan exchanged another friendly smile, content on how their first real conversation was going. That is, until she asked the one question he hoped she wouldn't.<br/><br/>Lucan let out a brief sigh as he rubbed his forehead and turned away for a second. He made his way over to an adjacent tree and leaned his back against with his hands hanging idly inside his pants pockets. For a few seconds he closed his eyes to gather his thoughts so he could explain himself in the least threatening manor.<br/><br/>"Well it's kind of a long story...as I'm sure you noticed, I haven't always been around here. Back in the regular world I struggled with regular life just like everyone else, trying to live on the streets after my parents tried to drown me in the river. Well eventually I ran into a band of werewolves. They took me in, raised me a bit like the military would, with a touch of street thug mentality. " Lucan paused a moment and began pacing slowly in front his tree.<br/><br/>"Regardless I felt like I was where I belonged for once. Well their fearless leader had this wonderful idea for the whole clan and an initiation for me. Of course they wouldn't mention it until it was time, and when that time came...it was too late..." Lucan paused again feeling the air tighten around them both. He attempted to glance at her to see if she could sense where this was going, but he could already feel it and he knew the best thing was to just get it all out there.<br/><br/>"There really is no excuse for it...I really wish I got picked up by the Shadow's first but life decided otherwise. When we got to the Shadow's cave, that's when Dark Sky explained what we were doing there. Now I did some...unlawful things in my life on the streets but I never hurt anyone. Mostly petty theft. But Dark...he was...is one sick mother fucker. By the time I realized he planed on practically killing all the Shadow's It was too late. Too much damage was done. I attempted to save a couple of the Shadow's, even took Dark on myself but I wasn't ready for that kind of fight. He gave me this as a reminder of my failure that night to stop the claws." Lucan lifted up his black tank top revealing the harsh claw scar in its entirety that stretched over his chest and torso.<br/><br/>"Not sure how long I was out for but I woke up to see James and the others who survived standing around me. Told them pretty much the same thing I'm telling you now and that I'd stay and help out if they allowed it or just kill me. As you can see they kept me around. But to be honest I don't know I belong here. After what happened I feel I don't deserve to be around your pack. I got a taste of how close knit this crew is and I love it. Its the type of "family" I wish I got into first, but now I feel eventually I'd just taint it with my presence, like I'm a living reminder of that night. Memories are horrible enough as is. I really am sorry that you have hear it like this but I think you deserved to hear it from me first. I definitely didn't want you to get this as your first impression of me but I won't blame you for hating me. So to answer your question plain and simple, you guys don't need me here so I think I'll head north, maybe into Canada..." Lucan fought back a couple tears explaining himself. He wasn't sure why he was so open to Eryan about all of this other than she needed to know, but something about her just made him comfortable enough to spill it all in front of her. The hardest part was anticipating her reaction, which surprisingly he really cared about.
