Collin wasn't eating anyone, or hurting his boyfriend at all, really, which he considered an accomplishment for the guy. Cayden was busy trying to figure out how much trouble they were going to be in. Half the humans in Converse believed in werewolves. So how was it so bad that Rufus had seen them? As long as he didn't know who they were, they were still safe, right? Though with Collin dating Rufus, Cayden wasn't sure how long that was going to last. He huffed out a breath and adjusted his head on his paws slightly to watch Collin in time to see the huge black wolf look at him like he was going to fix everything right that minute. He picked his head up and intended to give Collin a shrug, but he never got the chance. Rufus had just made the connection. Cayden could see it on his face. Well, at least he didn't know what they looked like as humans. He hung onto that one thought as if it could save him. Cayden watched impassively as Rufus finished working it out. He'd spoken softly, but loud enough for werewolf ears. "You're werewolves... right?" That's when Collin decided to go nuts. It wasn't uncommon this time of the month, but Cayden wanted to bash his head into a tree. Just knock him out for a little bit. Instead, he reigned himself in and stood up, facing Rufus, ignoring the tail-chasing going on in the background. Very deliberately, he nodded his head twice. He didn't know why he was even acknowledging this human idiot who thought partying in the woods on the full moon was a good idea, but it was better than eating him. Maybe. Cayden could hear Collin stop behind him, as if he just now realized this might mean trouble. Cayden didn't think it would. Rufus didn't know who they were. It was all good. That feeling that this might turn out okay faded in an instant. He could hear someone coming, and not being too subtle about it. Not a wolf. Cayden turned and stepped forward just slightly, being the highest ranking person present. Could just be someone showing up for Rufus's party. Hopefully. Still, he kept his eyes trained in the direction all the noise was coming from, sniffing for any other information. The smell of silver seemed to lodge itself in his nose, and he growled before he could stop himself. A hunter. Great. Just what they all needed. An older guy who looked a bit like Rufus stormed out from the trees and immediately held a rifle up toward Collin. Probably because he looked meaner, not realizing that Cayden was the bigger threat. Cayden pulled his lips back over his teeth and very deliberately stepped in front of Collin. So, this was Rufus's dad, huh? Good job, Collin. Way to pick out a boyfriend. Go for one without a gun next time. Oh how he wished he could say that out loud. More than that, he wished he could tell this asshat with silver bullets that Rufus was lucky they were the ones who found him. Not for the first time, Cayden didn't like that he outranked Collin. Someone else could be the one to make sure they got out of this mess alive. outfit

[Rufus Lee Bailey]

Rufus slowly, and cautiously pushed himself up to his knees. Cayden's nods and Collin's umm... antics, drew an uncertain laugh from Rufus. This just... didn't happen. It didn't. His blue eyes flickered over the two pair, and he contemplated screaming with realization. Werewolves exist! Sweet god they exiiiisst!! Holy shit! But he was having some trouble even forming basic syllables, let alone yelling. He could laugh though, and laugh he did. Rufus looked down at his knees and pressed one hand to his forehead in an attempt to stifle a growing headache. Yet he still chuckled. He didn't know what else to do except laugh at this fairly crazy discovery. Some part of him thought that if he didn't laugh, the terror he so recently felt would emerge again.

Stupidly, it took him a few moments to stop laughing when his father crashed through with gun in hand. And even then, Rufus didn't want to feel anything else but relief upon seeing his father. It wasn't like him to feel terror at the sight of such a close relative. He didn't want to start. "DAD! Did you know..." Ruf's grin slowly slipped away from his face once he realized that his father did in fact know. He knew... and judging by the gun William held, he'd made an opinion too. "Wha... what are you doing?" He laughed again, but with unease and nervousness. The longer he stared at his dad's gun, the sicker he felt. His dad wouldn't just... no, no he wouldn't shoot at them. He wouldn't. The lack of swaying in his dad's hand told otherwise. "They're people..." Ruf's voice had drawn so quiet and meek that it suggested illness.
