It'd been a long time since he was back in the room he shared with Mahina but Angel felt like he never left. The trip to California took longer than expected but he had things to clear up with his dad but all was settled now.
He set his bag in the closet to unpack later, first he had to look for Mahina "oh how he missed his La". He searched the entire room for clues to where she would be but found none.
All Angel could find was the scent of pinapple her scent.+where can she be?+ He stormed down the stairs looking to find someone who could help him.
He found momma in the kitchen making something good for lunch when he approached her from behind.+Lord child one of you is going to kill me of a scare one of these days+ he said his apologies for scaring her and asked about Mahina.
+Oh the poor darling got badly hurt on independence day and I haven't seen her in a bit, try asking one of the others maybe they know+
Thats exactly what he would do. For him Mahina was precious and if someone hurt her there would be a whole lot of hell to pay. Angel said his thanks to momma and off to find Mahina or someone that knew where she was.
Things haven't gone so well for the Hawaiian. From the incident on independance day that got her hurt real badly to everything in the tattler to the revelation of new romance (not with her) that was a surprise all has caused Mahina to seclude herself away from the pack which was not the wisest of ideas.
Silent healed her and if it wasn't for her and for Juran and Lexi finding her to take her immediately to the packhouse, Mahina wasn't even sure she would be alive let alone walking around. Those three are or have been experiencing a closeness that Mahina welcomes and needs. Especially with her Lupa. Mahina loves her for who she is and just being here. Lexi for comforting touch and being so kind to her. And Juran. If only the wolf had a brother. He has been a friend and one who is showing what he is capable of and making such an impression on the overall capability he would go to where it involves pack. His devotion reminds Mahina much of herself.
Balcony door of her room was partly open and it was the small noises coming from the room that pulled her from staring out to then have the scent of plastic and mountains tug at her nose that squeezed her heart......Angel. Not caring about her shoes the hawaiian already was feeling tears stream down, felt like ages. The speed of her wolf worked along and Koko was already ahead and pounced the Male whining with that licks-a-million tongue over his fur.
"ANGEL!"
Last five steps were jumped and he was coming out of the kitchen and he himself was pounced. Arms clinged around his neck and her legs around his waist. She wasn't letting go. God, it felt like eons. Since she saw him, eyes closed while the flow of tears spilled......peace. For weeks she hasn't felt this calm...this relaxed. It revealed to her now just how exhausted, misberable, stressed she was. For just being in Angel's arms, his deepest scent smelled with that face of her buried in his neck it all came at once. Emotions. Hates with a passion to cry but in this instant it was a mixture out of happiness and everything.
As Angel walked out of the kitchen he heard his name being called by the very person he was so anxious to find. There was not much time to react for Mahina pounced on him and wrappe herself on him like she would never let go.
+oh La' I missed you so much are you ok momma was telling me you got hurt what happened tell me everything+
He flooded her with questions for he wanted to know all that he missed while he was gone. After she explained what happened he felt angry because he wasn't there to protect her, that was his role but was not there to fulfill it.
She told him on how Silent healed her, how Lexi and Juran were there with her as well. Most definetly he would have to do something for them as a thank you for being there for Mahina.
He held on her with the promise that he would not let anymore harm come to her when he was around.
Mahina took her time and explained every detail that happened and leaving nothing out. It is very true she missed him so very much and it showed in the way she would not leave the closeness between them. Fingers moved within the back of his hairline and her nose was caressing a line along his jaw.
"You're here now and that's all that matters to me. I knew you couldn't be here. I would never hold that against you."
There was more that has happened, like the no longer Man in her life. It was better that way. The relationship was going no where and was based on a lie. Her fingers continued to curl within his hairline. As she smiled up to him.
"Feel like going out? Could go into town, have some lunch and walk the strip to catch up, sound good to you?"
Anything was just fine for Angel, especially if it would make his La' happy.
+how bout we invite Juran and Lexi maybe they would like to come too?+
This was a good opportunity to take them maybe to dinner or some other place for helping out with Mahina, he really owed those two a lot he would have to thank Silent as well for taking care of Mahina when she needed her.
Since the tragedy of Independence Day, Lexi had not trusted herself to leave the house. The anger she felt had been so intense that she'd had to avoid reading the paper, or even going to the store. This, of course, did not keep the news from eventually reaching her. So, to keep from breaking Ash's rules, or her own, she had kept herself busy.
She helped Momma with anything and everything that she could. She spent time near Mahina and the others, soaking up the feel of their energies in the hopes that it would force the anger to ebb. And still other times, Lexi could be found at the Lupanar with her fingers buried in the earth as she stared off into the trees. It was there, in the Lupanar, that she was able to ease the anger a little each day.
The vixen had just returned to the house and was heading for the kitchen when she heard her name. Rather than forgo the bottle of water that she desperately wanted, she opted to let them know that she was nearby. So, that russet-pelted counterpart's chains were loosened to allow it to greet Mahina's and Angel's beasts, taking with it the scent of damp earth and wildflowers.
Momma was given a brief hug and a kiss to her cheek before she retrieved the bottle of water and took several swallows of the cold liquid. If Mahina and Angel indeed wished to find her, she would be leaning against the counter in the kitchen, wearing a pair of olive green athletic shorts and a maroon tank top.
Angel was on his way to the kitchen to get some of Momma's cooking which he could smell from the living room. There he fond one of the people he was looking for, Lexi was leaning against the counter drinking some water and looking hot in those shorts and tank. +Hi Lexi I presume? nice meeting you and I think a thank you is in order for saving Mahina.+
His eyes never left the red head looking at her like any man would but letting Wolfie connect with her fox in the plane that was not ment for normal people, which of course they weren't.
She kept her space from him until Mahina came into the room after him and she took Mahina in a hug.Mahina then tuckied herself into the bend under Angel's arm keeping close was what he wanted never leaving her side.
They spoke of the issue at hand and after the conversation came to an end he decided to ask Lexi if she would like to join them for dinner maybe and if she could pass the message onto Juran.
Mahina felt so much better then she had in months. With Angel back home everything felt so complete. He was more of a brother figure in her life then her real one. Well,her own had his own life, a job, schooling and a wedding to be planned. So his life was a bit chaotic to drop everything and come see her, but he would she just never let on that she really needed him to. She walked right along with Angel towards the kitchen. Koko, her wolf was already running up ahead and pouncing at the russett furred fox. Mahina, the moment she saw Lexi went a stride ahead of Angel and hugged with and of course a soften rub to the femme's cheek.
"It's good to see you Lexi. This here is Angel in case you haven't met him before."
Mahina moved her way back to Angel and coiled her arms around to his back and pressed her cheek to his chest. Blanketing herself in his rich scent of plastic and mountains. To Mahina it was a rich and masculine scent and she liked it and even found comfort in the scent.
"We are heading into town to go to the Mall and dinner, would you like to join us?"
Lips twitched into her usual smirk as Angel greeted her, a brow lifting when he thanked her for saving Mahina. She certainly hadn't expected that anyone would feel the need to thank her for helping not only a pack member, but a friend. Smirk grew into a smile as Mahina came up to her, giving the other woman a hug and cheek rub.
``You look wonderful as always, Mahina, luv.`` Emerald greens turned back to Angel. ``It's a pleasure to finally meet you properly. As to the thank you, there's no need.``
Her furred counterpart romped and nipped at the two wolves in that other plane, familiarizing itself with Angel's beast. A sip of water was taken as she thought over the invitation voiced by the two, then gave a slight nod.
``If it won't be a bother, I'll certainly join you. If you'll just give me a few minutes to change?`` A glance at her attire as she chuckled. It was bad enough that she got unwanted attention when she wore jeans and a t-shirt, she'd hate to think what effect her outfit would have on the male population outside the house.
``If you want to ask Juran along, you might try calling him. I believe his number is on the list by the phone.`` A slight shrug. She was merely being helpful before she passed the two to go change, fingertips brushing Mahina's arm as she went.
Not five minutes later, she was back downstairs dressed in dark blue jeans and pale green gauzy shirt. Brown sandals completed the outfit and she'd not bothered with make-up for this outing since she was with friends. A check of her back pocket assured her that her wallet was in place, and a check of the front made sure she had her keys - two things she never left without. Following her nose, she found Mahina and Angel and leaned against the wall.
Isn't it pretty much speak of the devil, when someone appears, it's the whole ears ringing thing. He was coming in with a package, more a shopping bag of paper, some snacks he wanted to keep in his room for when the moon came. His clothing is simple, loose jeans that are well-worn, not quite faded yet though. His t-shirt of grey is tucked into the waist of his pants, a belt of black leather cinching his waist and Nike sneakers with a grey swish upon the sides with those ankle high white socks, Nike too!, but hidden beneath the hem of his jeans. He stops short of the stairs seeing the others and he raises a hand, waves and smiles.
"Hi everyone, where are you all off to?" He asks and looks them over. Hmm and who is this wolf, the one whose scent he has smelled time and time again in Mahina's room.
He strides to him, setting his paper sack down by the stairs, forgotten for now. "Hi, I am Juran." May as well introduce himself.
"Lexi, very good to see you as well." After shaking the man's hand, he walks over to Mahina and Lexi, giving each of them a bearded nuzzle of cheek to cheek, the hairs upon his face surprisingly soft and not scratching to their softer skins, the affection for the women more than the men, not quite... erm used to nor really wanting to do that with most men, but... if the Ulfric did it, he would too.
Angel greeted Juran as he would any of the members in the pack and turned to face them all. +We're off to get some dinner and hang out at the mall my treat as a thank you for saving Mahina , and Juran you and Lexi are my honored guests for doing so.+
With that said Angel hoped the male would join them along for they saved his La' and they deserved the well treatment.
When Angel would see Silent he didn't know but she would get a special gift as well maybe the Girls would help him find something at the mall that Silent would like,
Affectionately she returned Lexi's greeting. The foxy lady was one she wanted to know more about before the explosion. Now with the ever present bond Mahina felt with her, the more she wanted to know.
Then Juran's forest scent was so strong and Mahina leaned away from Angel's enough to return her cheek rub to the male. Andrea was a very lucky woman. To have such a not only beautiful man for her Fiance, but one who shows such compassion and that is a rariety in Men, in general. He really is one that is making strides to be pack and show his self worth. Hmm, reminds her of someone else she knows 5 months ago who was given a second chance at life after Lilith saw to burning the last breath out of her for trying to save Dakota, a pack member she really didn't know to well. And here 5 months later once again Mahina is found a way out from death and was saved by him who didn't know her all too well. But she is pack. Of course you cannot forget the help Lexi gave. Without her constant soft talking and touch, Mahina wouldn't have stayed so calm. It was a life experience as the first one was. Both left behind a deep impact with her. And now her bonds with Juran and Lexi are stregthening just as her bond and love for her Lupa. If it weren't for Silent's aura and quick thinking she still wouldn't be here. Mahina loves the swamp wolf, even more now.
Smiling to Juran and Lexi, she stayed close to Angel's side. He was her comfort. So hard to explain. With Angel she just felt more like herself and free. Like he was her barrier from bad. They all have a deep and special place in her heart. Just with Angel it ran deeper and if someone were to walk up to her saying he is her brother and showing her a birth certificate to prove it, it would not even be a shock. That would just be like the calming sensation of a cool breeze against the heat of the sun. Satisifying.
