it had been some time since the woman last found herself in Gypsum, the small town a hidden gem that was nestled between two national parks. if not for a need to escape, to take advantage of all that natured offered and further explore, Skylar would have never stumbled upon the small town. never would have had the pleasure of setting sights ( no matter how off putting golden optics were ) on another alpha like herself, though he of the tall and handsome type. and wolfy. unfortunately at the time, the tigress had been ill prepared to venture around and fully explore, sans a wallet and proper clothing.
there had been a promise to return, quietly uttered as the cloth that adorned a lithe frame was folded and returned to their owner. and the intention had been there, to meet Will properly. but clearly fate had other plans, as chaos descended upon the hospital that she worked, and the queen found herself unable to find respite outside of a couple hours to rest her eyes each night. when it all began to settle down, some eight months after her adventure, Skylar announced that she planned a trip. that Ruby ( a wereleopard and her second ) would be in charge of the streak in her absence.
that was early morning, two days prior. at the present moment the queen sat within her car, parked on the side of the road as eyes swiveled both left and right. pondered whether she should venture straight to the hotel, or take the opportunity to explore the town at night; the sights and S M E L L S, the local restaurant that served authentic Hawaiian food - actually that sounds wonderful, as the felines stomach growled. made its need for sustenance known.
slowly, each movement purposeful and meticulous, the door was opened and the woman extracted herself from the front seat. kicked a boot covered foot back to shut it as the soft click of heels against asphalt began. it constant despite the various hustle and bustle that passed in her approach of Ekahi grill. a hand had left a pocket to open the door but stilled before the cool metal touched fingertips, body turned to face open air, eyes shifted as if they saw searched for something.
quickly the tiger queen moved from the doorway into the night, as she all but pranced up to a figure that had been walking nearby. obnoxiously tall, heavy musk of wolf, biceps larger than her face; Will. likely he noted her presence in town and came to investigate, given her power level and the possibility of she being a threat. little did he know, Skylar had come to the small town to find him once again, curious of the story behind why he - and other lycanthropes - chose such a remote location. interested in the story behind such, as the queen had once moved to a small town in an effort to escape.
" hello again. " full lips parted to reveal straight and pearly teeth, grin broad in her own amusement. " I do'na know if ye remember me, but I was wondrin' if ye would like to get a bite to eat? My treat. " a casual offer, one she fully expected to be rebuttled yet could not help but express. it would allow the pair to have a casual conversation, in a setting that would be public and avoid awkward states - outside her eyes, that could easily be covered with contacts should the issue arise.
