Locating Greer had been easy since Niko had an open and active connection to him. He was keeping Greer dormant until he knew who he was, and from there he'd decide on if he'd let him wake up or not. He could sense other supernatural beings around the sorcerer, which only made him even more suspicious of the man.

Once they got to Cold Water, Niko found a quaint little bed and breakfast and rented a room for them. He pinpointed Greer from there, and though he insisted Bae and Miles stay behind, he had a feeling at least one of them had followed him - if not both.

He was standing outside of the mansion, peering up at it with a frown. He knew exactly what was inside. Vampires, and a lot of them. That worried him even more about why this sorcerer was looking for Bae. Was he selling lycanthropes to vampires? Or sex? Or both? There was only one way to find out, but he wasn't sure how he was going to go about getting into the house.

That's when Morris happened along, and Niko sensed him as soon as the man step foot out of his car. Turning, he stared over at Morris for a moment. It was obvious Cold Water was a hot bed for the supernatural. Still, Nikolai could tell Morris wasn't a powerful necromancer. Not yet, anyway.

Mason smiled. It was nice to have someone to share things with again. And not just anyone, but Bae. He'd share whatever he had, too, even if it wasn't much at all. He knew Bae would always appreciate it.

Taking his half, he took a bite and chewed. It was good, but he liked to think it tasted so good because it was Bae's and they were sharing.

"It's been a rough few months," he said softly. And he probably hadn't been eating as well as he should have given the fact Bernie had been feeding from him sometimes. The others actually didn't like his blood much, the younger ones. They said it made their veins ache.

	Bae took a few bites of his half and then set the rest down in front of Mason. "We'll fatten you up in no time. I think that--if they want--we should stay with Miles and Nikolai for a little while." They'd become familiar to him and Bae was a big fan of the familiar. He couldn't even fathom that some of Mason's temporary pack was still alive and so very close. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You think they wouldn't mind?" Mason asked, his brow furrowing up a little bit. "I don't want to be a burden - I mean, I have some money, but it's suppose to be for school," he added honestly as he finished up his half and then took the bit left that Bae had left for him. "Can I get a drink of water?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Raising his eyebrows in surprise, Bae tilted his head. "You have money left for school? You should use it for that. We can stay and you can finish your schooling up."

He ducked back into the fridge and got a bottle of water out, cold and crisp, and handed it to Mason. "Don't you want to finish school?" He didn't quite understand why he wasn't doing that right now--but he also didn't fully understand the kind of loss Mason had been through.

	Mason took the bottle of water and twisted the cap off for a sip. At Bae's words, he blinked and offered a little shrug of his shoulders. "I don't know, maybe," he said softly. "It's just all different now. I just miss the pack and being in Seattle, going to school, makes me think of them too much." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh," Bae said and nodded a little bit. "But I think your friends would have wanted you to keep going." The very thought that one of them might have a chance at doing something normal like school was really important to Bae. It was an opportunity he never thought either one of them would ever have.

	"They would have," Mason said honestly as he cleaned his face up with a napkin, then he scooted up onto the bed after he'd gotten rid of his shoes so that he could curl up against the pillows. "You'd stay here with me? What about the other two? What'd you say their names were again?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	impotentwaffle 2010-09-04 07:24 pm UTC (link)
	"I would stay, we could stay." He didn't know about his rescuers, but if it meant Mason achieving his goals, he would stay without them if that was necessary. "Miles and Nikolai. I don't know if they would stay. Nikolai travels for his job but--maybe he could make this his home base." He wasn't sure that he had the courage to ask him to do that though.

	Mason set his water aside and he blinked before he reached a hand out, making a grabby sort of motion with his fingers. He wanted Bae closer, and he waited for the other panther to get settled before he curled up against his side happily. "Would we live together? Can we sleep together?" he asked softly.

	impotentwaffle 2010-09-05 03:11 am UTC (link)
	"Of course we would live together," Bae assured him. Resting his head against the pillow, he shut his eyes, focusing on exactly how it felt to have Mason crushed up close to him. He'd been imagining this moment since Mason had been taken away from him. "And if we share a bed, it will save us money," he noted logically. "I think that's a very good idea."

	One of Mason's arms slipped around Bae's waist, and he pressed his face against the front of the other's neck, just beneath his chin. He let out a comfortable and happy sigh as he relaxed. "If they come back, will they just sleep in the bed with us?" he asked softly, because the bed was surprisingly huge. Mason hadn't ever seen a bed so big before. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Bae kissed Mason on the forehead. "Yes, they'll probably curl up with us. Is that all right with you?" He didn't want Mason to feel uncomfortable with strangers, which he realized Niko and Miles were to Mason. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crucio 2010-09-05 03:40 am UTC (link)
	Mason nodded his head a little bit, and he pulled his head back a little so that he could brush a kiss against the side of Bae's jaw, and then the corner of his mouth before he settled once again. "I don't mind," he said softly, "Just as long as you're here." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	impotentwaffle 2010-09-05 04:36 am UTC (link)
	Their lips had gotten so close and Bae felt his heart beat a bit faster. But then they were settled again and he had to relax. "Good," he said quietly and tucked his hands in against Mason's waist. "I think that you'll grow to like them." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I'll like them because you like them," Mason said quietly.

They'd helped Bae, they'd kept him safe and apparently they treated him well. As far as Mason was concerned, Nikolai and Miles were golden in his book. Bae hadn't ever been the most trusting type, so the fact that he trusted the sorceres spoke volumes to Mason.

"I'm afraid to sleep, what if you aren't here when I wake up?" he asked with a sleepy smile.

	"If I'm not here when you wake up, then it was a nice dream for both of us and I'm still somewhere looking for you. And I'll wake up knowing you're still looking for me." That was somehow comforting to him, though he would much prefer for this to be real. He shut his eyes, deciding not to wait up for Nikolai and Miles to get back. (Reply to this)(Parent)
