→ It wasn't an easy job, pretending that she was here as a common patron. Every non-human in the establishment knew what she was, and assumed she was a mutt. That in and of itself pissed her off, but it was better that way. Buying her way into the back, she masqueraded as a woman who simply liked to watch, and that was all right in a place like this. With distaste for the sights and smells she encountered on her way towards her destination, she breathed in deeply to find what she thought was Faris's trail. She didn't know about the brother that still lingered in Faris's scent. When she entered the room, she knew she'd found someone other than who she'd been looking for.

→ Since Faris had left, Pilot had refused to leave his brother's old room. He'd moved all of his stuff into Faris' room and he was laying curled up on the sheets that he wouldn't let anyone wash. He'd only taken a few clients, ones that could stand to fuck a boy who would not stop crying. The rest of his time he spent curled up in Faris' blankets, trying to make his brothers scent stay as long as he could but it was already going away with the sweat and sex of other people. Today he was just laying there, not crying or doing much moving, just staring at the door. When Louisa came in he didn't say anything, didn't move much, just brought the blanket up higher.

→ "You aren't Faris." She moved her eyes around the room, focusing on every little detail of it. "But he's spent a lot of time here. Where is he now?" She'd stopped on her way to Coldwater Flats from New Orleans for the express purpose of picking up Faris. She hadn't been in contact with Hunter, but she didn't suppose he'd mind much her bringing a new member of the pack along with everyone else.

→ "Some man took him." Pilot said, his voice sort of empty as he laid there. He wasn't eating, wasn't sleeping. Wasn't doing anything but feeling completely fucking hopeless over everything. "He said he was dangerous and he was taking him somewhere to be with people like him. Said that I couldn't come too." And now he was alone, completely alone.

→ Louisa sighed, realizing her mistake as soon as Pilot spoke about a man. She'd made her pack wait for her, delayed their arrival at Coldwater Flats, all for something Hunter had already taken care of. This was certainly a lesson in humility on her part. Sitting down on the bed without being invited, she tugged at the covers so she could get a better look at him. "And why would you want to go to a place where everyone is different than you are?" Because she could smell that he was a human.

→ "Because I miss Faris." Pilot frowned, not caring if he was so different. "He's my brother. I came here to be with him and then they took him away." He tried to pull the covers back up, reaching for them even though she was holding them down. Biting his bottom lip, he just looked down a little and let his shoulders hunch up. "I want to be with him, I don't want to be here alone."

→ "What's your name?" Her voice was kind, very soft compared to Hunter's voice. It was clear she was a powerful being, but she couldn't exude it so fully as Hunter was able to. She'd never be able to handle a pack so large as his. "I'm Louisa. I came to take your brother away too. But it looks like he's already where I'm going."

→ "Pilot." He said, frowning a little bit as she said she'd come for Faris. They all came for Faris and they would all just leave him behind. "Can you take me with you?" he asked, hardly getting his voice above a whisper. "I want to see my brother, I want to go to my brother... please take me with you."

→ She wouldn't dare. If Hunter hadn't brought Pilot too, then he had a good reason for it. Shaking her head, she looked as if she at least felt bad about it. "You shouldn't be here though. This is no place for anyone. Don't you have a family that misses you? Someplace else to go?"

→ "No. There is no place else. There is no one else but Faris." When she told him now he just stopped looking at her, letting his gaze lower away from her. Frowning, he tried to pull the blanket up again. "Leave me alone now." Because if she was there for Faris and there to not take him tos ee his brother, then there was no reason for them to be talking at all.

→ "I doubt very much this Faris of yours would want to see you giving up." She folded her arms across her chest, letting go of the blanket so he could tug it up again. "It isn't a prison he's gone to; I'm sure you'll see him again when it's safe." Which could be a long time, but she didn't mention that part.

→ "You don't know anything about me and you don't know anything about Faris either. Leave me alone now, please. Just go, just go away." He didn't particularly like her because she couldnt' give him the answers that he wanted and she couldn't take him with her, so he didn't want to talk to her.

→ Looking disheartened, she stood up, realizing there wasn't much use in staying. It was true, she didn't know much about either of them. Pausing at the door, she turned. "Well do you have a message I can take to him for you? Something you want him to know?" She could offer at least that much right then.

→ "No." Because any message he had wasn't a good one and nothing was better than something bad. Turning over, he pulled the blanket up over his head and he just stayed quiet, ignoring the fact that Louisa was still sitting there.

→ Reaching into her pocket, she left a piece of folded up paper on his nightstand. Shutting the door on her way out, she snuck back down to the main bar and out into Seattle. The paper she'd left was a map of ColdWater Flats she'd printed before she'd left. It had no markings or indications of where Wolf Haven was. She didn't know if it was a clue for him to follow, or simply something he'd throw away or never look at in the first place. Either way, it had probably been a mistake on her part.
