"No one's home, right?" Nori double-checked.

"Of course," Blair said with a nod, "My parents are never home. Off travelling somewhere." She waved her hand dismissively. With that, she stepped out of the car, slamming the door shut behind her.

Relieved, Nori nodded and climbed out. "Good. Gonna be hard to explain all this..." He started toward the house, relieved to be able to actually relax on a comfortable couch or something. Highly preferable to the forest floor.

Blair followed close behind, pointing the car remote over her shoulder and locking her doors. "Yeah, no kiddin'." She mumbled, stepping forward to unlock the front door. She pushed it open, revealing a massive living space just through the foyer. She led the way inside, dropping her keys on a small table near the door.
Once she entered the living room, she collapsed onto the large couch with a huff, sinking into the fine material. She looked over at Nori, gesturing wide to the room. "Make yourself at home."

He quickly found a comfortable spot and laid down. "This place is massive..." He slowly closed his eyes.

"Well, y'know. Ma's a lawyer, dad's an engineer. They make good money." Blair spoke flatly, as though just talking about it put a bitter taste in her mouth.
After a second of silence, she twisted around to face Nori. "So, I guess we should figure out a plan, yeah?"

"We're about a thousands steps past any plan I've ever come up with before." He told Blair. "For now, the plan is "don't get re-caught by Alpha"."

Mat nodded at Nori after finishing his long observation of the house, "I think that's about all we can do. But do you know if he has any weaknesses or something?"

"You're the only person I've seen get the better of him." Nori shook his head. "I don't think he has weaknesses." He laid his head back down, and started changing again, back to werewolf form a few moments later.

"There's no way we can just sit around and wait for him to find us," Blair complained, resting her head on the arm of the couch. "Even if he has no weaknesses, we need to find a way to take this guy down."

"Short of unloading a shotgun into his chest, I doubt we could." Nori told her. "And I don't think Mat could do a repeat performance when he'd still injured." She tapped her nose. "I can at least give us a bit of advance warning if he finds us."

"You mean a shotgun would work?" Mat straightened up, a smile that was perhaps a bit too excited crossing his face, "Well by all means, let's get one! Can't be too hard, right?" He shrugged a shoulder then, with a slight wince, "Besides, he didn't do that much damage, I could go another round."

"And if you go another round, you could end up dead." She told him tersely. "And no guns, the sound'll draw too much attention, and cops finding a dead werewolf is probably gonna cause even more problems." Nori gave a slight sigh, and shook her head. "...I'm still not even sure I'm comfortable with killing him, anyway." She muttered.

"I gotta agree with Nori. We can't risk your life this time." She told Mat gravely. "We're probably gonna need as much man power as possible, so you should let yourself heal. Get your energy back."
Then, she turned her gaze to the ceiling. "Maybe this is just a human's opinion, but murdering him doesn't seem very fitting. I mean, c'mon, a werewolf jail actually doesn't sound too bad right now. Why the hell don't you guys have something like that?" Blair asked exasperatedly, throwing her arms up into the air, and then dropping them back down at her sides.

"...Maybe there is somewhere like that, I have no idea." Nori admitted quietly, shaking her head. "I've never met any werewolves but him, and he's never been too concerned about getting me to understand anything but which one of us is in charge." She glanced to the two of them. "Sorry."

"I know of several prisons outside of this galaxy," Mat murmured, looking oddly on edge, "they could probably hold Alpha. But we don't have anyway of getting there." He looked up, "Unless either of you know anything about intergalactic travel. But I doubt it."

Nori stared at him. "...No, I don't know anything about intergalactic travel." She responded flatly.

"You're the only alien here, Mat." Blair deadpanned. Then, she sat up straight, eyebrows knitted together in deep thought. "Well, if you don't know anything, maybe Alpha knows something. If he's as controlling as he seems to be, he must have some sort of place that locks up anybody he doesn't wanna deal with or something."

"Yeah, kinda figured that," Mat muttered, an irritated look sweeping across his face. An ear twitched as he heard Blair and he gave her a puzzled, if somewhat concerned look, "Are you really suggesting we walk up to Alpha-- y'know, the guy who's trying to kill us if he's feeling merciful-- and just ask him how we take him out?"

"I'm not going anywhere near him." Nori told Blair immediately. "He's manipulative, and he'd probably get me to go with him somehow. He knows me too well."
