Michael was actually sitting and chilling, messing with his guitar and playing music to try and enjoy himself. He wanted to take his mind off of some more negative things. As much as he hated a certain person who belittled him and made him feel weak and even just show off how weak he was, he couldnt let that petty revenge control his life. And boy the gods, he was petty about payback and was damn aware of it. So he tried to chill to himself and play music to himself

"Maybe life is like a ride on a freeway
Dodging bullets while you're trying to find your way
Everyone's around, but no one does a damn thing
It brings me down, but I won't let them
If I seem bleak
Well you'd be-" he sung, but quickly stopped when he saw a child approach him. A toddler maybe? He was not good with kids and guessing their age. He was surprised why would a kid approach him. But maybe the music. The music he played changed melody, since he switched from a more original song to a nursery rhyme song. So he played hickory dickory dock, since he doubted his music would be appropriate for kids

"Hey there kiddo. Where are your parents?" but as soon as he asked, he saw what was effectivally a milf hurrying to scurry over to her kid and pick it up. Michael still playing his guitar as background music as he observed the lady.
"Well that answers that question kiddo. Go to your mamma. Or else a big bad wolf might see you with his big eyes. And use his big teeth to om nom nom you!" he then laughs and says to himself as he wipes a tear "Aaahhh, Im shit with kids"

He was surprised that the lady came in with another child. Whew, to have 2 children. He couldnt imagine. The lady also seemed around his age. Holy, she's smokin and young to have kids in his opinion. He doesnt see himself having kids any time soon. Plus his spouse would have to be super ok with having kids with him considering he's a werewolf. And he knows his race typically more wild than a pathetic human who tend to just be weak softies.

The hot mama apologized to him and made a light joke how she'd have to watch her kid around boys with bands when she gets older
"Hah! What can I say. Im a chick magnet~" he says, although he's not as much of a chick magnet. Unless the chicks are also troublemakers like him. Although recently all the chicks he expressed interest in are usually taken or just dont swing his way.

When the woman introduced herself and her kids. He nodded in acknowledgement
"Michael" he said as he simply introduced himself. He glanced at the girlie trio as he quietly played his music and wondering what to say
"So... I guess you gotta be going on your way?" he then glances at the kid who ran over to him and waved her bye
"Bye bye kiddo."

He chuckled "Yeah, seems so" truthfully, he wasnt expecting such a reply from Sofia over here. The most common reaction to his compliment or advancements were scoffing, disguist and a slap. Though its maybe because he still hasnt made proper moves on her, considering she was a mother of two.

Still though noticing her batting her little lashes at him did made him consider of trying to put his moves on her, ignoring the hell out of consequences of facing an angry spouse. He'd have no regrets of tapping this baby momma.
Still the question was how to do so and not be overly crass infront of kids, for petes sake
"I mean, I can handle two kids" he thinks to himself as he imagines a rhetorical, imaginary scenario of being with a woman who already mothered two children prior to him. He was pretty condifent in his leadership skills, even though he at this current point of time didnt want children.

When Sofia said it was nice to meet him, she realized her hands were kinda full, so she merely lil curtsy bow or something. And he in return gave her a nod, since they couldnt shake hands. Michael tho was expecting the ladies to make their leave, so he already bid them their goodbyes and let them be

To his surprise, she wanted to stay more with him. Which in his opinion she was more than welcome to.
"I dont mind. But ehm.. do you want me to move from here? Wouldnt want you to get dirty~" he teased a bit, also noting he was sitting on the ground and thus offered to move the convo somewhere more clean, like a bench or something

Then the weirdly expected question came that made him raise his brow
"I dont know why. But for some reason you're like the 3rd or 4th person who asked the same question by wording it 'I havent seen you here before'. But to answer, yes and no. Yes, by I am not local to Hargeon. But no, Im not new. This is my 3rd time here. Its just I'd mostly travel and work and typically not socialize with the locals" he answers her question

As he noticed her escorting her kids to a bench. He shrugged and decided to follow her and move closer to her and her kids. Considering she wanted to talk to him, he'd figure he'd make it easy on her to keep an eye on them and him by making it all take place at the same place.
"Sup" he said as he announced his presence

He just awkwardly smiled and shrugged "I guess so"
Truthfully, he didnt mean to sound rude when he answered her. It was just a mere observation at how people of this town tended to have the same wording when asking the question. It was a merely funny coincidence. Though perhaps he worded it badly

When Sofia said that she's not from Fiore, he seemed surprised "Really? You dont look like an outsider. You look like you fit in this community?" he said, she looked like a Hargeonian. The fact that she isnt per say is quite surprising and just shows how well she is intergrated in this community.
"Do you miss your original home?" he asks with his brow now raised. Honestly, he didnt know should he be asking or if he's buttin in some business where he doesnt belong.

When she asked if his work brought him here. He nodded. When she asked what he does and made her guess. He laughed because she was real funny with that sentence
"Oh thats a good one. Oh I wish I could spread the work of punk rock and metal. But no. Sadly no. I dont earn any money with this. Music is just a hobby and I guess a way to express my ...erm... emotions in a positive way." he in a way told her what his music was. In truth it was something to help him cope with more negative emotions or violent urges.
So instead of acting up on his will to kill and harm. He just sings about it. It doesnt mean that his songs are just about death and wanting to harm people. Sometimes his songs are just about his feelings. It just helps him express himself in a non violent way, but also helps him express himself in a more cohesive and clear way. A channeled way.

But as for her answer "I just do help quests. While the local guild does the more hard quests that require some real fire power. I take the more erm... less serious quests. I take the filler off their hands. Help the locals do some shii-" he sees one of Sofia's kids and remembers he's in presence of children so he cant say shit "iiny stuff" he tried to be smooth by changing the word shit into shiny.
"I'm just helping small things and when I do enough I go elsewhere. Usually I stay in a town for like 3 days. This is the longest I've stayed to be honest"

Now tho he decided to ask a question.
"I know a man is usually not supposed to ask a lady this question. But in this case I think it can be forgiven" he says as he helps Sofia keep an eye on her little ones "How old are these lil ladies?"
He has his reasons, the reasons being is will these kids remember anything he says. Are they too young to remember this or are their cognitive skills sufficient

When he heard that she was the wife of the GM, he spoke "Aww man, and here I thought I could sweep you off your feet, woo you, charm you and make you mine. Pffsh, the best sh-....stuff is always taken"
he said in a sort of whiny voice, lamenting the fact that she's already taken and not as single and ready to mingle as he hoped. But funnily enough the fact that she's the wife of the Blue Pegasus Guild Master didnt really hit his head. As the words GM didnt ring true yet

As they spoke, he would nod and listen to her. "I'm not from Fiore too. I'm from Caelum" tho he is fiorian on his mothers side. But thats crap that no one cares. He sort of learned not to over share. Michael glanced at the sleepy kiddos as Sofia said that she had a way to deal with homesickness. He frowned a bit. Mostly because he didnt have anyone. And the only family he had ended up passing away. AS he glanced at the two kids, he considered patting one of them on the head. But he knew that would be a bad idea. He might make them more awake or he might be too harsh with his hand patting or he might get some very bad temptations. So it was best not to take that gamble.

When they talked about work, she seemed to also take quests which surprised him since she didnt seem the type. She seemed too sweet for that stuff. Sweet as a strawberry... tho maybe its because of the outfit she's wearing. Anywho, her question made him chuckle
"Lone wolf here. Some people wondered why I dont join a guild. But I thought there was no point joining considering I cant do magic. And Im not a fan of those magic items. I dunno.... maybe in the future I change my mind. But personally I do like to be on a guilds good side, rather than on their bad side. Y'know"
He liked her grin and as much as he wanted to match her smile, he had to have his rather subdued. He knows some people told him he didnt need to keep his true self hidden and that werewolves are like welcome as long as they mean no harm and bla bla. But he just knew people would judge him or fear him or outright just treat him differently. He knew it was best he kept the human facade

When he asked the kids age. She spoke that they're almost too. Michael nodded "Ok good.But futile info." he shrugs and smiles a bit "No point now. You're married. Cant flirt with you. I may be a bunch of things. Homewrecker, I am not. But hey, at least they wont remember me. So thats a plus" he said as he revealed that he wanted to know their age just so he can be as free as flirting as he wants and not kind of scar them with cringe or whatever. But considering she was taken, it was all for naught

Although as he thought about it. It clicked
"Waaaiiit. GM? Isnt that short for Guild Master?.... But the guild master here is..." almost, he almost got it... And when he understood, he looked at Sofia shocked and almost distressed "You and her?!?" but how did kids come to equation? Adoption? Magic?? Did Alisa magic a kid in this woman?? With mages you never knew

"Trust me. You're a milf alright. Kids dont dimish a womans sexiness. Besides they're still small and" glances at them "innocent." he continues "They're not angsty teens who'd protect their parent with their lives with edginess. Trust me. If you were single, you'd still be fair game." kids werent a deterrent, at least to him. He thinks he can handle young children. But the older they are, thats when they're harder to handle and push away any suitors. Thats when you really gotta like invest in fatherhood by winning not just the milf, but the kids as well. But in this case, they're babies. He watched her shade of pink and grinned. Accidentally showing his teeth a bit "See. How can you not be a hottie."
Yeah if Sofia thought the first thing he said was an ego boost. He had a lot more. Its just he tried not to really go overboard with it because she has kids and because she's taken.

As they spoke of places of origin, she has said hers. He didnt know where that was, but he pretended he did. He didnt know if it was an obscure place or was his lack of education getting the better of him. In case of the latter thats why he pretended he knew where it was
"Yeah. Thats cool. Never been there though"

They switched to guild topic and Sofia revealed that they judge people based on appearance, in case of magic. Michael thought that meant sense. They were known as the fashionable guild after all. Plus with someone Alisa, yeah, he imagined its the hot people guild. When she said he was a shoe in for the guild. It was his turn to blush and match her previous shade of pink. He immediatelly pulled up his hook to hide it.
"Uh...umm... no you?" he didnt know what to say. He wasnt really used to such compliments from a beautiful lady. Not like this.


What seemed like much later, it clicked that she and Alisa were the married couple. He felt even more embarassed. Once he calmed down and moved down the hood again. He just blinked and formed two fists with his hands and bumped the two fists, trying to figure things out. The fists being simulation of two girls. There was no.... penetration? So how? They'd just....
He looked at her and asked
"So... how do two girls make babies? Adoption? Guild Magic?"
In food sense, a man is a banana and a woman is a donut. Woman has hole. Banana fits there. But what if there are two donuts?
He never thought the day would come where he'd ask where babies come from

He chuckles "Heheheheh, cant blame a man for speaking the truth. I'd be a liar if I said that you werent a beauty~" it was the truth. Sofia was very attractive, despite being a mother. She had the looks. The body, breasts, butt, mouth, voice, chest, eyes. He could go on. But he was sure if he started, he couldnt stop. Even her batting her lil lashes would make him do things.

Although, something she said piqued his interest
"Ohoho. I mean that would be the dream~ Damn, I would join your guild in a heartbeat then"
Maybe its his animalistic lust thats talking over his self preservation and common sense. Normally he wouldnt join a guild in a million years. But if he gets to spend more time with the babe and her babies. He wouldnt mind. He'd swallow his pride and join Blue Pegasus. Which would be funny considering how he kinda made fun of it

On the topic of baby making, he turned out to be sorta right. Incantations, potions, all that magic stuff
"Mmm sounds complicated. I bet I could help you get one in a much more fun way~" he teases her back.

He wasnt sure if Sofia's marriage had wiggle room for one more. Thats what she seemed to imply. But he thought that'd be too good to be true. Or maybe thats what she wasnt implying and his mind was playing tricks on him with wishful thinking. Honestly, he wouldnt mind. Considering he met quite a few Blue Pegasus mages, he was now kind of starting to consider joining the guild. Though he was still a bit nervous or shy about it. Despite what people say, he does feel inadequate because he was not a mage. But if it means he gets to spend time with these fine ladies. He'd do it. Plus, it would beat living at an inn and save him money

"Well, Im not known for discretion. I can be a rather blunt guy. And I dont think its a crime to shower someone in compliments. Besides, truth be told, you'd be getting a whole lot more than just compliments if you werent married. So I guess there is some self restraint after all"
Indeed she was a married woman. And he was willing to back down when he heard that, but something about her sure pulled him towards her to continue more and more. Maybe her body language, the batting of the lashes or her words. He was pretty sure she could have him wrapped around her little finger and he wouldnt mind, just follow her like a lost pup. To say he was smitten would be an understatement. It was hard not to show it

"Oh?" he raised his brow as his interest was piqued, exactly her type.
"Well... I can let you be the boss. I'd be willing to join your guild. If you want now or some other day, I'd be open"
After all, he was looking into Blue Pegasus ever since he met Alisa, although back then he was still on the fence. But now it feels like he made his choice. And it was his choice, he CERTAINLY wasnt hypnotized by this mommy beauty infront of him

He chuckled too as she laughed and spoke "I mean if you ever wanna test that theory, feel free to fine me" he winked back at her, saying that if she ever wanted to, he was sure open to rocking her world, and he didnt mean that musically

"Trust me. I'm an expert when it comes to biting and knowing my bites. And as I have actually met your lovely wifey in the past. And hey, even if I do bite more than I can chew. Lets just say I'd be happy if it was with you two~ Besides, if Alisa thinks sharing is caring then... I can say she's better than an angel or a seraph. She sure is somethin alright."
Indeed he has met Alisa, and she left him out of breath, literally, because he was racing her for top speed. But her melons were something that floored his mind into ooga booga caveman territory. Like rawr.

As he thought of the guild and remembered Esperia exists and also met the guild masters niece, he kind of had one question on his mind about the guild. He hasnt really found an answer while looking into it
"So... Blue Pegasus. I was kinda looking into it as said. You say its all about beauty and being fashionable and such. Are you guys like accepting of all races? Like are there any like... whats the word... limits I guess? Like I know Rune Knights are slightly stricter when accepting darker races like daemons and werewolves. Is a thing like that true for Blue Pegasus?"

He smiled as he listened to her and enjoyed her excitement. As her excitement grew, so did his. Luckily he had some self restraint. The little children she had being one primary reason why he didnt just swoop her of her feet and give her a kiss.

He happily nodded when she said that she likes a man who doesnt mind having a lady in charge. Yep, he was willing to let her take charge. Well, not always, but a nice healthy balance wasnt bad. Besides, in some scnearios, a lady was better equipped then him. She certainly had better wits than him.

He chuckled when she said that he's a bad influence on her and said with a playful wink "Heheheh. The worst~"
Guilty as charged. But he didnt care. He was proud of it. He was always a bad influence on people. Whether she intended to or not, it served him as a compliment

"I am a quick learner. And I am very eager to learn from you~" he replied when she said about bringing him up to speed about certain things. He was just getting all the more eager to be part of her world. Her and her wifes. He'd def follow her. Like a lost pup would follow a human to their home. A lost and yet very smitten pup. Those eyes were certainly hypnotizing. Though before he got any degenerate ideas, he'd glance back at her kids to remind himself not to do anything unsavory.

When he asked a personal question, which he tried to mask as personal, he noticed her frown, which did make him frown a bit as he worried if he said something wrong. Half scared of making her think less of him because of such question or possibility of what he might be.
Yes, she said her guild is welcoming of everyone, no matter what they are. He nodded.

Though being shrewed and keen as she is. Showing she is brains and not just beauty, she asked him what he might be. He relaxed when her gaze softened. And decided to come clean about. For the first time openly telling someone in years. He doesnt count Esperia the mind reader nor Vex whom he just threatened for his own safety

He gave her a wolfish grin which revealed his more sharper teeth
"A werewolf~" though he went to assure her he was chill "Though, dont worry. I'm not like the rest. I control my urges. Im a carnivore and I dont eat humans " even though they're tasty.
Besides, he channeled the destructive urges into music. And focused on different sort of urges. The kind that were obsessed with a certain beauty he was talking to.

Michael went on to further explain the secrecy "Normally, people like me are only about meat, food and power. Which leaves humans very... cautious and unwelcoming of my kind. Plus with hunters and people who are hostile of my kind... yeah So thats why I chose to pretend to be a human"
Paradise Dawn was like a monster hunting mercenary guild. If any guild would attack him, it would be them. Plus Dark Guilds were a thing. Mages also take quests, so if someone puts a quest on a werewolf in the area. It could be taken by a Blue Pegasus member if he was open about his nature.
Thats why he was secretive.

But he thought it would be fair to be open about all that should he join Blue Pegasus. No secrets and so the guild could accomodate to him or maybe help him if he ever feels a certain crisis. Though of course if he is in a howling mood, he would leave the guild and be at the lighthouse. He wouldnt wanna wake up his guild mates or the lovely waifus.

He chuckled "Aye aye teacher sensei. I promise I'll be a good boy~" he played along with her. And he wouldnt mind bringing her an apple. He knew she only jested and wasnt literal with it. But why not. He'd do it for her. He can start with apples and then escalate it to much more 'enticing' things as she said

When he found out she was cool with it, he relaxed. It was like a weight was off his shoulders after that confession. He nodded to her when she then said or asked that he's a good boy.

Soon he though realized one of her kids was waking up. Probably looking for a good boy. He considered showing the kid a trick, but realized maybe its best he saves that for later when they're at the guild and when he's a guild member. If he did try and show her fun stuff, then the kid might wake up and Sofia would have a lot more on her plate. So for now he trusted the mommy to calm their magical child back into sleep.
"Do you need help with one of them?" he asked quietly. Offering her assistance if her hands were full

He tilted his head to the side when she said she wouldnt worry too much then. She explained that she and Alisa had dealt with demons and their spawns. And they even had werewolves as members.
That was a new one for him. He nodded as he listened
"Ok, so um... how do I go about to becoming a member?" he asked
Seemingly since he pretty much mentally sealed the deal he would become one of them. Now he was curious on the exact steps what he needed to do? Sign papers? Get a tattoo stamp thing? Get a fancy outfit like the males usually do of Blue Pegasus? Was there a makeover thing. There was so much to learn

Michael tilted his head to the side, confused what she meant. Soon she would make what he could only describe as cat sounds. Yeesh, he disliked cats. But maybe thats his inner canine that spoke. Tho cats make nice food.

And soon Michael would turn out that he was half right. It was a cat, but just not the one he imagined. It wasnt a domestic magical cat, nor was it an annoying exceed he'd wanna rip to shreds. It was actually a Lion. Let him repeat. A LION.

He looked at the pink beast curiously and confusedly. He watched as the animal sniffed the air suspiciously. And he glared back at the beast who was suspicious of him. He didnt show fear, but strength. A kitty wont make him back down no matter how big was it. He also sniffed the air a bit to get the scent of the pink animal. Though he calmed down as soon as the Lion did. As it focused on Sofia and the kids.

He atched as the animal roared and what seemed he did was also make a portal
"W-Wh.... WHAT THE FUCK!!??!? EVEN AN ANIMAL CAN MAGIC?!?!?" he mentally fumed at that fact. He wanted to bite his fist to calm down, but he needed to be calm, no matter how hard he was mad

He felt calmer as Sofia turned his attention to him. Michael nodded and went with Sofia.
"Yeah please. I am eager to join that to be honest I dont wanna wait any longer" he said rather pleasantly to her. He made up his mind and wanted to join. Waiting any longer would just be torture. He was guildless and alone long enough. He wanted to make this new change as soon as possible. Though he surmises he should later talk to the guild master.

"Pretty much" he openly admitted with a shrug. Truthfully, the Lion started the hostility. Michael just wasnt gonna whimp out. Plus he still has a beef with a certain exceed that he wants to hurt after she disrespected him. So yeah, perhaps he isnt a cat person. Although he never got to act on that like a dog would. So this was new to him just as much as it was new to her.

He blushed a bit over her excitement. Like he was happy as her and was happy that she was happy. It was a nice feeling. Though she asked if he wishes to walk with her or be more daring. As she extended her hand, he took it
"Im all for being more daring~"
He had no idea what she had in mind. If you'd ask him, he probably imagined her arriving there on a new steed.... Him. Since he can transform and be like an animal.
Like carrying a human on his back was not really a problem.
Though soon, he'd find out that she had a much more magical idea in her mind. But whatever the case was, he was eager to do the initiation. Though perhaps that meant seeing Alisa as well. And with her wife at his side no less. This was gonna be something alright
