"Good. Otherwise I'd just have to grab you both by the ears and drag you down to confinement." The Beta smiled warmly, however; she liked the goofballs, they kept things from ever getting too serious in the Hyperion. "All right, off with you."
The devious duo made their way back to the stairs, heading for the upper levels of the hotel and whatever mischief awaited them there. Heidi was tempted to follow...but more tempted to stay right where she was. You're going to embarrass him, she scolded herself. Go on, now, back to patrol. Still, she was moving very slowly.

William almost didn't notice his audience, but as he circled carefully around the punching back to have another go, he caught the three scents, one of which sent his wolf into a fit of excited yipping. It took the fighter a few moments before he managed to get up the nerve to move from his 'hiding spot' behind the punching bag.
"Heidi?"

Damn. Heidi forced herself back to the doorway. "Hello, Will," she said in a would-be normal voice. "Sorry if I disturbed you....Violet and Jeremy were plotting something evil over here, and I, ah, encouraged them to find something else to do. I would have said hello, but I didn't want to interrupt."

"Ah, Tweedledee and Tweedledum..." Will chuckled, giving a shake of his head. "Lord knows what kind of havoc they could have unleashed. Thanks for deterring them." He beamed at her. "You're not interrupting, either. I'm just...blowing off some steam. Wolf's more restless than usual, it seems."

"Yours too?" Heidi understood only too well. "I don't know what it is, mine's been horrible this cycle. Alternating between pacing and craving attention and wanting to lash out at anyone who seems remotely happy. It's been all I can do to keep her under control."
Though she's been behaving rather nicely since I came down here...

The fighter nodded in an understanding manner. "And the ordeal with Andrew...is going to be all right? He wasn't attacked by anything...abnormal, was he?"
That would certainly be bad. Granted, he figured that if Andrew had been bitten by a wolf, he could probably just come into the pack...

"I think he'll be all right. Nate seemed optimistic. As far as anyone can tell, his attackers were human, so there shouldn't be any supernatural repercussions from the ordeal."
Absently Heidi tugged on a lock of blonde hair. "Well, um...I should let you get back to your...training."

"Oh..."
The sudden urge to find something - anything - to get Heidi to stay with him was hard to deny. He scrambled for something, some kind of intelligent remark that would give way to small talk, but then he made the mistake of meeting the blonde Beta's eyes. Will felt his ability to speak slowly slipping away the longer he held her gaze.
"Uh, well, I wasn't really...that is, I don't really have to train right now." ...Right. Wanna try that again? "Erm. What I meant to say was, I'm finished." He smiled sheepishly. "Are you...well, did you have any plans for the rest of the night?"

Heidi had to concede that, while shirtless!Will was very very easy on the eyes, tongue-tied!Will was absolutely precious. Maybe Dia was right, she thought, recalling her earlier conversation with the Alpha Female.
"Well....nothing specific," she replied. "I usually spend the full moon nights patrolling the halls, making sure things are all right -- which is how I caught those two. But it's not like I'm required to do that, or anything....did, erm...did you have something in mind?"

Will felt his face beginning to burn. "Um...not really, no," he admitted with a nervous sort of laugh. "I was just going to wander aimlessly...again..."
Pathetic.
"Or, um...well, if you'd like some company on your 'patrolling', I wouldn't mind walking about with you."

"That would be nice," Heidi replied honestly. "It does get rather lonely -- even dull. It's very unusual for anything to go wrong, really, so most of the time it's just me walking in circles until I get tired and fall asleep somewhere." She chuckled, wondering if that sounded stupid.
"I'd be glad for some company, if you really don't mind."

"Not at all," Will replied with a roguish smile. "And I'll do my best to keep things interesting."
He retrieved his shirt and was about to pull it back over his head until he noticed it was rather...pungent. In spite of himself, the fighter blushed, then quickly crumpled the sweaty fabric up behind his back. "Erm...though, perhaps I should find a clean shirt, first."

Heidi smiled, not at all put off by the blush, which was adorable. "Well, we can always stop at your room first," she offered, "so you can clean up a little. I don't mind waiting."
Shame it involves you putting a shirt back on. Oh, really, what is wrong with me tonight? At least it's only in my head...if I start saying these things out loud I'll know I've lost it.

"Good, thank you," he chuckled sheepishly. The fighter quickly grabbed his shoes from their place by the door, as well, and slipped them on. With a smile to his Beta, he gestured to the door.
"Shall we?"

"Of course." Heidi gave Will a warm smile, then left the room and headed for the stairs.
