“Okay, sounds like a plan.” Hew said happily

“I don’t mind at all, I should go anyway, see you in the morning” Glaucus got up and walked his plate to the sink, “Alrighty then sea you later I still have to unpack as well. And then I’ll treat the landscape to some Lacuna Coil.” Glaucus said triumphantly, Good night.

Start: Resort Cabin #3

Christopher returned to his cabin with Erik and prepared breakfast. It didn't take much time to serve up the meal thankfully which allowed Chris some more time to sit and rest his back. He set the plates packed with food down onto the dark stained oakwood table. Turning his gaze to Erik, Christopher asked, "Would you care for some milk or water?"

Christopher shook his head and replied, "No, I'm sorry. I didn't bring any orange juice with me. I'll have to buy some when I'm in town later on today. I have to pick up Icy Hot patches for my back anyway."

Pouring himself a glass of milk, Chris finally sat down at the table and let out a sigh of relief. The aroma of the food was quite pleasing and only fed his desire to eat the scrumptious meal that was present on his plate. He stabbed his fork into a piece of fried egg and inserted it into his mouth, chewing rather contently on it. The slight flavor of the butter that the egg was cooked in was rather pleasing to Chris's tastebuds making him quickly snatch up another piece of it with his fork.

Chris picked up a piece of bacon and bit into it, letting out a satisfied grunt. He took a sip of his milk before he began to speak. "Erik, what do you plan to do now though? I mean, you can't just keep running forever. I don't want you to have to go back if you don't want to but you need to figure out what you're going to have to do. It probably won't be much longer until someone sniffs you out."

Christopher finished his piece of bacon off, shoving it into his mouth.

"Erik, I'm going to visit the Tarhelian River today with a friend of mine," Christopher explained as he indulged in his breakfast some more, "Would you like to come along at all? Maybe it'll help clear your head some perhaps. Besides, I don't think you want to be alone right now either. So it's your choice."

Christopher continued to eat some more in silence. Then he said, "So tell me a little about yourself Erik, and I shall do the same as well."

Christopher finished off his breakfast and smiled, rather satisifed with how the meal turned out. He then answered Erik while he sipped on his glass of milk, "I'll be going with my friend Glaucus. Him and I have been online friends for a long time. We met finally last night. He's here with his family. I'm up here on vacation and to meet up with a Native American friend of mine from when I directed my movie."

"That's right. You don't know about that. I'm an independent filmmaker. I made a film a year ago called A Moonlight Lullaby. However, I tell you that the world of filmmaking can be very strenuous and overwhelming. This vacation is my break away from all that and to just enjoy something I haven't had since I was your age. Because I use to live near the woods and loved it. It feels good to have a taste of it again. And as you'll come to know, I really like wolves. Hell, sometimes it seems that I should have been born one."

Chris let out a laugh at that last statement of his, nearly dropping his glass of milk. Setting the glass back down on the table, Christopher gather his composure once more. "The reason for that is I absolutely adore wolves. I read up on them all the time, have many dreams about them, mostly dreams where I become one. Hell, my movie is about someone becoming a wolf."

He suddenly grew silent, realizing he was perhaps explaining too much. Chris didn't want Erik to think he was some some kind of lunatic. He decided to switch the focus back to the teenage boy and asked, "So what kind of things do you like to read about? Animals I take it?"

"Wait a minute," Christopher interrupted, "How can you consider dragons an animal even? They don't even exist as far as we know. They're a fantasy creature."

Chris smacked his forehead, realizing how condescending that statement came across. That was not his intention but that is how it came across, even to him. He began to scold himself internally, 'Nice one Chris! The kid probably got enough of that kind of discouragement beforehand. You want to add fuel to the fire?'

Looking at Erik with embarassed eyes, Christopher apologized, "I'm sorry about that. I didn't mean to sound like I was putting you down. It just caught me offguard you would include dragons. You don't typically hear dragons classified as animals, you know? Anyway, what kind of things do you know about dinosaurs and dragons?"

Christopher sat in awe as Erik explained his knowledge of the fantasy creatures that were dragons. It was amazing how much knowledge he had on a creature of fiction alone. He could only fathom just how much more he knew about real animals as well. After Erik finished his speech, Christopher simply said out of impulse, "Wow... Why aren't you already in college already? You..."

That's when Chris's eyes fell on the clock on the wall. It was one minute before 11am, the time he was to meet Glaucus by the fountain. "S**t! We'll be late to meet Glaucus at the fountain if we don't leave now. Come, hurry!"

Chris quickly put on his walking shoes and dashed out the door, waving his arms to motion for Erik to follow him. All the while he did this, Chris just further aggravated his back but his sudden rush of urgency was thankfully overriding it for the time being.
