Tent (Maikaiden Kanakaredes)

As Garulia sat down with Vinny to eat, laughing at the Italian crack, he bit into the dinner.
"Mm, tastes AWESOME," he said through a mouthful of food.
He suddenly heard a loud howl, and, looking out the window, he saw a full moon and his heart filled with dread.
He stuck his head out the door and saw, atop the hill near the tent...
a werwolf, rearing and howling. Then it turned...and charged...straight at the tent!
Gar transformed and charged the beast, they met in the middle of the field and fought for hours, Gar never allowing himself to be bitten, only scratched, finally beheading the beast with his claw.
He turned back, the blood leaving his clothes, and headed back to the tent.

Vinny covered her mouth with her hands, trying not to scream. Gar! She stood there for hours. In the first few minutes, she conjured an efficient-looking first-aid kit, she didn't know how to do 'healing magic'. Whn Gar came back, she shoved a chair under him and started applying so much ointment he looked like an opaque ghost at the end of it. "Not the best you've ever looked." Vinny joked. Then she turned sirius. "That thing could've killed you!" she said, worried still.

Garulia chuckled at the "not the best" crack, but he was taken aback by the sincerity and care in her words.
"Hey, I'm okay," he said, wrapping his arms around her when she was finished. "Thanks for worrying about me, that was really kind."
Gar hugged her close for a long time after that.

Vinny hugged him back for as long as he did. She then let go, and sat down on the bed. "Sure you don't need anything? Juice? More pasta? Type of meds?" she asked, pulling down his covers in case he wanted to go to bed. Then she went to the tv and turned it on, then paused. She never watched tv, only a little when her brother wanted to. "Wha'dyou wanna watch?" she asked, the tv still at an Agatha Christie.

"Hm..." Garulia thought. "I don't really wanna watch anything, not like there's really ever anything on."
He shrugged. "If you wanna watch something you can, I have some movies, down there," he pointed beneath the T.V. "You could watch a super hero movie or something, I don't really know all that's down there, pretty much it's just a bunch of movies from home."
He patted his seat on the couch next to him facing the T.V.
"We can watch whatever it is together."

Vinny blinked. "If you don't mind, could we watch Agatha Christie?" she said, nervous. She was kind of a girly-girl. After watching a minute or two, she realized that this one was a Miss Marpole 'Why Didn't They Ask Evans'. She loved this one, and sat up straight. She looked at Gar. "Is it good?" she asked, worried. She might have to get him mor into it.

Garulia shrugged. "It's alright, I'm more of an adventure kind of guy, not exactly my style."
He shrugged again.
"Vinny, I have a question..." he didn't know how to begin. "How do you like it here? Do you only stay here because you like me or...what? I just wanna know, not that I don't like you being here."
She's gonna take this the wrong way, he thought, a worried expression on his face.

Vinny blinked. "Well." she said, getting up to make popcorn, "I really like it here. I suppose I did like you that way, and still a little. Anways, it's a lot better than at my parent's house." she grumbled the last bit. "We're constantly arguing, and too little independence." she said. She took the microwaved bag out of the microwave and poured it into two, neatly washed bowls.

Garulia nodded, satisfied with her answer.
"Mm, popcorn," he said, taking some out of his bowl and popping them into his mouth.
He turned back to Vinny. "I'm exhausted, did I look cool out there against the werewolf?" he joked, laughing and tensing his muscles.

Vinny laughed hard until her ribs ached. "Yeah, I suppose." she said. "I'd never be able to do anything like that." she muttered. "I'm not nearly brave enough. That's why I was sorted into Ravenclaw. I bet you were in the middle." she said. "Anyhew." she changed the subject, checking her clock. "Well, eleven's about my time, but that's during school, so I can sleep much later, therefore can stay up much later." she smiled.
