(Under Control) Both Halves Are Developing Well

[Firebringer]

Firebringer's head flicks between the direction of gunshots and the now-dressing interloper. If it was on their land, action needed to be taken. For all he knew, they'd just landed in the middle of some sort of supernatural gang war. Which he might not have cared about, if it had been anywhere else.

Either way, at the moment the the board held far too many pieces.

A harsh growl marks the poor fit between his purely wolf form and the First Tongue. «Then we follow.» Vector earns himself a full-on glare, although far from the first directed toward the man. «He leaves.»

[Lesingnon]

Slick nods, in response to both of Firebringer's statements. <<Agreed.>> If the shots were from the direction the other man had come and gone the odds that they were connected were far too high for her liking. And they didn't need another unkown wandering around Tur, especially not one that might come straight back to the Locus. <<I wonder if he can get rid of the body quickly.>> It certainly seemed like he might have the power to get rid of the thing absurdly quickly...which would be ideal. Tonight especially it would be best not to leave something like that behind to be stumbled across.

Probably best just to ask, she supposed. And she gestured towards the torso with one hand. "How were you planning to dispose of that?" A meaningful glance is shot back towards the sound of the gunshots. "We might not have much time."

[West]

The man looked up from where he was bent over, picking up a phone. In the moon-limned darkness, he was suddenly very mundane. For all anyone might think of observing him, he could have been gardening.

"Ah, that would be a problem then. There are several phones missing. I believe the agreement we made stated that I could recover my phones."

He gave Chantay a polite smile.

You learned to listen carefully when silly things like Geas' could ensnare the careless.

[Firebringer]

He was no wordsmith, at least in the sense of dissecting exact meanings, but he'd thought the intent of the deal had been clear enough. Needless to say, Firebringer is less than pleased at the man's decision to balk. This displeasure is made known by a baring of fangs and a threatening growl.

Carrot and stick. No one would mistake one for the other.

[Matamune]

Daniel cocks his head at the man, amused. It's not really his place to talk-back to Firebringer but reminding him of the deal is different:

<<We promised we won't hinder him going after the man. The trail leads away from the Tur, he could be useful. And, Honor.>>

Chantay is their liaison so it's ultimately up to her what to say.

[Firebringer]

One paw scratches idly at the ground. «Leave or come with, don't care. Not left alone on Tur.» As far as he was concerned, either served the purpose. Even if both were so much less satisfying than simply ripping the man's throat out.

[Lesingnon]

A part of her was tempted to point out that they'd already completed the only action that the deal had required them to do, in transporting him back to this world. That getting rid of the body wouldn't interfere with his ability to get the phones back. The lawyer in her was tempted to engage him in the debate over wording he seemed to be inviting. That kind of thing was how she made her living, after all.

But there were more important things to do here than practice law.

"I wasn't aware that disposing of the body first would prevent you from finding the phones. In any case, the man who was here earlier seems to have gone off in the direction of the gunshots. We're checking it out to make sure that whoever's there doesn't...give us more of a mess to deal with. So...just follow us then." Because she was in full agreement that the man shouldn't be left there on his own.

And with her piece said she fell forward onto all fours as the woman gave way to the wolf. <<Lead the way.>> The words are, presumably, meant for Daniel as he was the one who had the scent. And once they were said she grabs her purse in her teeth. Because there was no way in hell she was leaving that lying around at what the police would view as a crime scene.

[West]

"Very well."

A few more moments are passed as the man makes sure he has everything, then follows the werewolves.

Fast forwarding....

It doesn't take the wolves long. What took Thao several minutes on two legs, is halved as they rush* through the grass. It doesn't take long for Daniel to lead them -- nor is it difficult. Practically a straight line, the wolves soon see a small pickup in the distance. A man appears to be loading something into the back.

*

I'm going to assume that Chantay and Matthew flank Vector, keep an eye on him, etc, to make sure he follows. I'm not trying to bypass anything important, just move the thread. If this poses any problem, or there was something y'all wanted to do, please let me know!

Likewise, I'm assuming they're catching sight of the truck with plenty of distance to stop and remain concealed, if they so choose.

[Matamune]

As soon as the truck comes into sight, Daniel stops and glances to Firebringer:

<<Approach?>>

[roadnottaken]

A glance at the pickup. «Slick talk, we flank hidden?»
