"Uh thanks..." Scotty glanced at the note then glanced curiously back to Cole, wondering how he'd reply.

Cole lifted his head slightly, and looked her straight in the eyes. His tensed posture still hadn't loosened up, but he picked up a pencil and paper and wrote another note, this time, sending it purposely flying to Drey.

No. Not usually, even Scotty over here has only heard my voice a couple times. When we were younger, then i stopped.

Audrey took the note and scanned over the writing once again. She looked back at Cole and noticed he seemed tense. "Well that's fine," she said, then nodded to the note. "You got a good hand writing though." She smiled slightly, hoping to make him feel a bit less nervous.

Cole still tense, loosened up the slightest, before looking down at his IPod, and turning up the music.

Scotty flicked his ears "You'll get use to Cole's silence eventually." he stated simply glancing at Drey.

Cole flicked his ear, and lifted his eyes to look at Drey. He huffed slightly, and leaned back in the chair, humming Forget You, tapping his foot ever so slightly.

Audrey glanced over at Scotty when he spoke. "There's nothing wrong with his silence." sh said. "If he wants to talk or write that's his choice. Either way," she glanced at Cole. "I'll talk to him just the same when he writes or when he speaks."

Cole looked up and wrote a couple words on his paper. Thanks Drey. He passed it over to Drey, and smiled the tiniest bit.

ooc: Common guys, lets get this thing moving!!! D

Tony stood up and stretched, he finished his ice cream. But had Chocolate all over his face, it proves how messy he is when it comes to eating. "Well, It was nice meating you all, but I gotta go."

Drew was a bit confused at the conversation. Drey seemed to be talking to Cole without him speaking a word to her. When it became clear there were notes involved, however, Drew could tell now what was happening. He silently turned to the window, looking out across the buildings and the streets in the afternoon light. "I've lived here all my life," He said suddenly. "I guess no one noticed me because I never really say much. I prefer to stick to my nature."

He stayed turned against the window, not sure how the rest of the group would respond. When Travis mentioned something about having to go, he finally turned back, but just watched him. Drew locked his gaze with the anthro, slitting his eyes ever so slightly in the expression of studying. However, he quickly returned his eyes to the window again, watching the sun's glare cover the entire neighborhood behind them. He had finished his ice cream. All that remained now were the melted remains.

He flicked his tail ever so cautiously, as if every move of his was being watched.

Cole glanced at Tony, and then stared at Drew. He blinked a few times, before he began sketching on his notepad. He sketched out the group, realistically getting every detail perfect. He worked the hardest on Drey, finishing her last.

Fingering her dreamcatcher nervously, Katherine glanced around, the fur on the back of neck starting to rise as paranoia crept over her. "Does anyone else feel like we're being watched?" she asked, her tail beginning to flick from side to side erratically, a clear sign of her nerves.

Cole watched the uneasy girl carefully, and the fur on the back of his neck rose slowly too. He looked around, and spotted to men outside to shop, andd immediantly disliked them.

"Watched?" Audrey repeated quietly, casually glancing around. If anything were to put her on edge it was the thought that someone was watching her, and she didn't know. She pricked her ears, letting her eyes wander to everything around them, watching for anything that was out of place.

Drew felt the uneasy feeling as well. He turned to see behind him and noticed the two men standing outside. Normally, he wouldn't make any kind of scene, but he stood up almost as a reflex. His own muscles did it for him and he had no say in the matter. "I think... I'm going to go attempt a catch at fresh air," He said. "I'll meet up with you guys later on..." He trailed off, carefully walking towards the door. He kept his eyes on the two men a bit of a distance away and watched them as if his life depended on it. It felt as if his eyes could detonate a ticking time bomb if he strayed them inches away from their targets.

He made it to the door and swayed it outwards, sliding his body through the gap between it and the building. He walked in the opposite direction of the men, feeling a sudden urge to go home and rest. Think. Drew tended to be like that sometimes. But for some reason, this feeling had a hint of nervousness and neediness that he couldn't ignore it. He put his hands in his pockets, swaying his tail in the manner that meant he was on his guard. When he was almost a half a block away from the shop, he turned his head away.

He could still see the men if he looked back, but for now he felt it was unnecessary.
