Never, ever leave a debt unpaid. It'll come back to bite you in the butt. This was a lesson that Ryle had a difficult time grasping, a lesson that presents itself repeatedly. In fact, he is having to live with it right now. She was a friend of a friend's friend... or something like that. Either way, this strange girl is currently using the spare bedroom (and the study most days) in Ryle's house. Why? Well, it was a friend calling in a favor. She apparently has some sort of disease (non-communicable, she claims), and she is researching a cure. Either way, Ryle isn't entirely thrilled. This girl is weird in a way beyond obvious. He can smell it; he just can't quite put his finger on what it is. Then there was that pesky little fact: Ryle's secret. He is a werewolf. So, at the same time as preserving his secret, he couldn't help his curiosity about hers. Well, she was staying in his house, wasn't she? Didn't he have a right to know? It almost called for a double life. It wasn't like he could just walk up to her and ask 'Hey, are you supernatural?'. This was something that he would have to uncover slowly. At least, that was what he had thought. Suddenly things had begun to take off, things that were causing him to scramble to keep his own secret - things that tended to hint at hers. People came calling for him. Things began happening in town. And the full moon is coming. Laylani was definitely something that people liked to stare at, and she knew it. She also knew that they weren't staring out of admiration. To them, she looked like a freak, some sort of deviant. The curls spilling halfway down her back were a silvery gray, and since her face showed her to be barely twenty-two, everyone knew something was up. Most would have been inclined to give her the benefit of the doubt, to attribute it to premature graying. However, combined with the tattoos, no one wanted to believe that. They were more inclined to think that her hair color came out of a bottle. The aforementioned tattoos were of black ivy. They began on the left side of her face, the ending tendrils resting on the curves above her brow and across her cheekbone. The vines wind down the left side of her neck, branching out as they come to the base. A tendril reaches just over the top of her shoulder as the rest of the ivy spills down the left side of her back, curving up under her arm. The tattoos go all the way down to her hip, but most people wouldn't know this. Most people don't get to see anything below her neck and shoulder, as Laylani's wardrobe consists of a tank top (most of them black) and a pair of jeans. However, the great thing is that she doesn't have to explain herself. In this community, she is a foreigner. A weird foreigner with some unknown disease. Laylani can ask all the questions she wants, and no one does anything but answer. "Come on, don't tell me you're ditching me again! She never says nothin', she never does nothin', you could probably even kick her out of the house and it wouldn't..." Orin trailed off as he heard the front door open and shut. Apparently the girl was home. He gave Ryle a pointed look as the girl walked past them and disappeared down the hall. After she had passed out of earshot, Orin held up a finger. "Or, you know what? If you're so intent on this, we could invite her to come along."
