Aaron 1- Clubs and curiosity

Ryann

Aaron has been acting strange lately. It took me a while to be sure of it since he doesn’t emote much. But he seems… tired. Less engaged with things than he usually is. He’s good at hiding it. But I’m sure I’ve caught him yawning more than once recently. I tried pointing it out but he just gave an apologetic shrug and waved it off. Is he working too much? Or is it something else, something in his personal life? I don’t know much about what he does when he’s now following me around. It’s not like he talks about himself all that much. No one I ask seems to know anything either. He’s a very private person, but surely he doesn’t just sit at home all the time. Okay, this is my new mission. I want to know what Aaron does for fun. I’m not just being nosy, It’s for the sake of his health. I’m concerned, that’s all.

Escorting Alpha Ryann around is generally a pretty simple task. She’s friendly and not demanding at all. I think she forgets that she’s in charge sometimes. Despite the fact that she isn’t a Shifter, she’s also very popular and dominant when she wants to be, so it’s not like she gets attacked very often. I always stay alert, but there are no current threats against her and she is with Alpha Kane more often than not. I’m just dropping her home now and then I will be free for the rest of the evening. I don’t regret taking this job. It’s an important role and I like all the people I work with. Still, outside of work my life is pretty dull. I spend most of free time in feline form going out running or just napping. I shift into a very I always keep to the land owned by the compound. Most people tend to panic when they run into me and turning back to my two legged self rarely helps. I’m a large man and I have not. been blessed with the ability to reassure people with my words. I know I tend to make people uncomfortable. It’s actually why I requested the task of protecting Ryann, even before she was officially the female Alpha. She’s never seemed uncomfortable around me and while she likes to tease me and try to trick me into speaking to her, she’s never been offended by my silence.

the evening then I shift and I run. Since I finished work so early, I have a little more time than usual so I make it all the way to the edge of our land. I start running along the edge of the borders of the compound and I run until I’m exhausted. I stop with every intention of taking

mentioned that he thought he saw a big cat creeping around on Friday, I guess that was probably you. Uh… I’m James. You know, if you want to come in you can. We don’t discriminate here. I mean, it would probably be easier if you didn’t come here as a tiger… but if you want you’re still welcome to come in. There is a cover fee of twenty dollars, but I’ll waive it tonight since I doubt you have cash on you.” The human offers kindly. Hmm, I’m not sure why he is being so helpful, but my curiosity wins out and I move away from the shadows and give him a slow nod. He smiles at me weakly and steps aside, holding the door open for me. I head in, although I don’t miss how he pulls a twenty dollar note from his own. pocket and adds it to the cashbox. I resolve to pay him back
