[At first when the video feed clicks on it shows a ceiling but then with the noise of someone knocking things around the camera angle swings wide and downwards, revealing a mop of shaggy hair and then a kind face with blue eyes and the kind of stubble that speaks laziness rather than style, grinning widely enough to show off some perfectly white teeth.] Well hey there... city? I mean I guess I'm talkin' to all y'all at the same time.

[The feed moves as Drew stands, taking his phone device with him.] This thing is a hell of a lot fancier than my cell at home I mean look, 'm basically in HD. [Cue a moment of preening after that particular Texan drawl, the bartender looking at himself for a minute, satisfied with the results.] But uh yeah, guess I'm kinda gettin' off track here. The names Andrew Warner, but my friends call me Drew... so basically all of y'all can call me Drew 'cause we're all gonna be friends, right? [There's a look of glowing optimism in his face because Drew didn't exactly make enemies to begin with.]

Guess life here is kinda like life home, I mean with the basics at least, I'm gonna be tendin' a bar here, so I hope at least some of you like to drink. [He nods at that, as if to himself, it was basically home sweet home... just with some glaring differences that he wasn't going to get into right now because they worried him.]

Thought I'd introduce myself at least... but one last thing. [He grins, eyes suddenly glowing a supernatural blue, the focus of the camera changing momentarily.] Any other werewolves out there? Guess I'm kinda in the business for an alpha.

We're werewolves, not actual wolves. [ please, drew. ] Does the colour mean anything in particular where you're from?

Hey well I can turn into an actual wolf! An' the things I do with real butts on werewolves is totally different so y'probably shouldn't ask for the details. [Drew shut up, go sit in a cave until you can be a member of society.] Uh.. it means I've got blue eyes? [What the shit Peter only one of you here is a homicidal maniac.]

Let's just pretend I never heard that, and you can pretend you never said it. [ deal? deal. and look, okay, he's just curious and wants to know things. ]

Speaking of which, I don't believe I've introduced myself yet. Peter Hale. From what I can tell, we're the only two werewolves here, though there are plenty of other supernatural around.

Uhh I guess? [Drew is just gonna meet that with awkward laughter because, yeah.]

Peter! Well Peter I guess you saw my introduction so yeah, I'm Drew. [Drew seems genuinely shocked.] Just two fuckin' werewolves I mean hot damn. There are more than that in my apartment building alone.

Maybe there are more hiding in the woodwork. I haven't been here for all that long— just a little over a month.

[ but it seems unlikely; peter has a good nose on him, and he hasn't run into any other werewolves yet. ]

You might be in for a long wait for an alpha to come along.

Well yeah, considerin' I'm learnin' pretty quickly that no-one's as open 'bout these things as I am.

[He sighs but it was fine, really, ish, maybe.] I might... don't y'feel kinda weird? Not havin' one?

You get used to it. The alpha situation back home was a little— unstable.

Tell me about it... my boyf- [He cuts himself off, Engel wasn't your boyfriend damn it Drew.] - this guy I know, he became an alpha recently. It... it was pretty fuckin' hard for me man.

[ yeah, that wasn't a smooth catch, but peter won't call drew on it. he'll just file it away for further exclusively, to come back to. ]

Well, it's like that, isn't it? Sudden shift in responsibilities, people taking notice when they didn't previously— change always has its ripples.

Are you nervous around him now that he's an alpha?

It sucks. Was so fuckin' easy before all this. [There's strain evident in his voice when he says it, for the first time.] Nervous? [He shakes his head a little.] I'm mad... sad... confused, not nervous.

You didn't expect him to become an alpha.

[ hmmm. ]

Never in a million years, the same guy didn't even have a fuckin' pack. [God it was so stressful for Drew that coming here was almost a relief.]

You aren't part of his pack? I'd have thought you were, considering how affected you seem to be by this.

I guess y'could say I liked him for more than the fact he's an alpha. Got to know him a while back, tried to get him to join my pack but he didn't agree with how we do things. [He's just desperately in love with him Peter, its fine.]

Ah. [ he makes a noise like the light bulb just went off over his head, which, well. it more or less did. Then it does change things, doesn't it? Since he's an alpha without a pack now. Do you think you'll leave yours to join his?

Or rather, I suppose the question I should be asking is, do you want to?

[Drew sighs unhappily.] I uh, I don't know man... I wanna be with him but I dunno if I wanna be with him like that. [Because realistically speaking he had feelings for Engel and things could change horribly if that relationship changed too.] I just... I don't know what the hell I should do.

Well, at least you've earned yourself a temporary reprieve, unless he shows up here in the city in the near future. Plenty of time for you to sort out your feelings.

Yeah but I kinda miss 'im too, man... [Drew's voice takes on an almost whiny company.] What if I get all lonely or whatever.

[ an undercurrent of amusement ran through his voice. ]

Then I suppose you'll have to make do with what you have here. I'm sure someone will be willing to take a lost puppy in.

Gotta hope so... [Drew grins though, his expression earnest.] Maybe do you wanna hang out some time?
