Lavi made sure to make plenty of boubbles and used the rags on her back to scrub the back, with one hand holding it above her head and another at her butt also holding the rags. It wasn't before she had washed her rags through that she started with her back, she continued to scrub the rest of her body untill all dirt was gone. Lavi pressed out as much water as she could from the rags before using a towel to wiping her body dry. First taking on her rags before unlocking and picking up the clothes to wear above the rags.

With the t-shirt and sweatpants on she intended to carefully examine her surrounding and to see what Jacob where up to, to see if he had no good intentions but then her nose twitched as she smelled food and she just knew that he was a good guy, for real. She followed the scent until she ended up in the kitchen. She didn't realize, not that she would care since she was dressed but the rags below the clothes made the new clothes moist which told the truth that she was keeping her rags. "Fork.." she didn't even need to say the whole sentance "I-is it for me" she wondered if it was alright to use it, she wasn't allowed to at home.

Jacob had just finished putting out the final touches for the meal when Lavi appeared. Along with the dinners, he had brought out some silverware and drinks. Having set the table many times for himself and his girlfriend, he had to resist the reflex to get out the candles and wine.

"Of course it is. How else are you gonna eat?"

Lavi was greeted with a warm smile, following by a quick curious glance. She looked much better than she had earlier, cleaner and fresher. The clothes were indeed a little big for her too. But what caught his eyes were the noticeable wet spots along her chest and hip area, areas that matched up with her earlier rags. Jacob found that a little odd. Had she forgotten to dry off those specific areas? He had to stop himself from staring and simply let it be.

"Come. Have a seat and eat."

He pulled the chair out for her before going to his own, which was across from her. As they ate, he remained quiet for a little while, hoping that some good food would help Lavi feel more comfortable around him before he started asking questions.

So, would you mind telling me a little about yourself, Lavi... of the Wind? How did you end up in the park like that?"

"With your hands?" Lavi answered suspicious, though she knew that not all where treated like her and she was blinded by love to notice details of others. Light was mostly awake during schoolhours so he couldn't show her the correct way and Dark was, well Dark.

She knew she was immune to poisons due to her immortality so poisons wouldn't workthough she would eat it even if that wasn't so, she nodded when Jacob invited her to eat. She curled her eyebrows in suprise when Jacob stood behind the chair, she had to think fast now, either he had wanted to wait for her to sit down on the other chair or the one he had pulled out. She sat on the one he pulled out, since she had confirmed that he was nice for real this was probably one of those nice things he would do.

"What do you wan't to know? I am of the wolf" Hinting to the fact she was a werewolf though she thought that was a perfect vallid way of explaining it and that it was common sence to understand this explanation. She could tell him, he was nice, he wouldn't betray her. "I snuck in and rested on that patch I pointed at." she was good at giving direct answers so if the questions where indirective others would not gain what answers they sought, this was however not the case when it came to Dark as she would try to avoid the questions unless they where persistent.

"You're... of the wolf...?"

Lavi's reply only partially answered Jacob's question, and raised even more questions about her. He had no reason to assume that she was lying, since she had been so straightforward so far. But looking over her again, and noticing that she lacked any visible wolf ears or wolf tail, he had to wonder what she exactly meant.

Her second answer was equally straightforward, but lacked any nuance for him to build more questions upon. It seemed that Occam's Razor was in full effect and the simple explanation was just that she wanted to rest outside on a patch of grass. Nothing more. It especially more sense when Jacob considered her assertion that she was a wolf, or something.

"Okay. So you're... Just a wolf? Like a werewolf or a shifter?"

Jacob could not help but become more curious about Lavi.

"And you just like being outside, dirty and almost-naked?"

Werewolf, the concept was modern though she was aware of it concidering she was one "T'was what i said" maybe she needed to explain after all "Silver doesn't hurt me and I am not feral but i can shift into a Werewolf". She looked at him curiously when he scanned her "I am either Human or of the Wolf, there is nothing in between." With Jacobs questions she realized that he was looking after wolf features, his actions where reasonable since this was the modern time where very few knew of Lavi's clan and the power of the Wolf, she was just so used to her friend which she had grown up with and knew everything about her.

"I like being clean, real clothes and being outside, I just rarely have time for it" was the best explanation she could manage without lying and without mentioning her friend however she may have hinted towards something. Hints that there are some kind of obstacle preventing her from regular showers, going out side wearing clean and whole clothes. When she was done explaining she gulped down the vegetables, she would eat the rest as well it was just that vegetables where important, they provided strenght and decreaed fatigue. She would use the silverwere provided however awkward it was.

Apparently Jacob had not been thinking literally enough in the case of Lavi. As the young woman explained, she was simply a wolf. A wolf in the guise of a human woman, perhaps, but still just a wolf. He imagined that she was more of a "shifter" than a werewolf. If silver bullets do not do anything to her, then she was probably as equally unaffected by full moons. The lack of any visible wolf features emphasized her full human disguise.

Jacob felt slightly ashamed for simply assuming that Lavi liked being dirty just because she was a wolf in human clothing. It was disrespectful and he had to look away from her momentarily as she made it clear that she was just as civil as he was.

"My apologies. I should've worded that better."

However, there were still questions he wanted to ask. New ones, in fact.

"So... Where do you come from, Lavi? Are you from the island? I've seen my fair share of people-with-animal-feature while working at the Academy, but I don't think I've ever met a wolf-woman just out and about like you were.

Not that I think you were causing trouble, or getting hurt.

It's just... unusual. It's not everyday I get asked by a security guard if a half-naked woman is mine."

"My people called me the West Wolf of the Wind, we have long since been forgotten by humanity." Indirectly she was actually saying that she had lived a long time, intentially or not but she felt that her explanations didn't cut it so she would try again "My tribe, my people where humans through and through but when a tribesman saw a captured and wounded wolf she saw the spirit of the wolf and fought to release it. She couldn't win against the multiple outlander so when she would fall the spirit of the wolf jumped into her, the spirits of the wolf melded, merged to become of the wolf." She took a quick break to catch her breath and continued shortly.

"The human spirit was sentient and the wolf spirit gace the body strenght and enhanced senses, with this unification the two became one and defeated the outlander. This is the story told from mother to child but i am the last of the Wolf, of the Tribe. Vampires." The Vampires was almost that of a whispering, as she did her best not to growl she looked away, she didn't want her new friend to see her angry.

When she had finally calmed down she continued, not from where she stoped but to answer "Sorry 'bout that, I just wanted to stay on that spot of grass, it isn't special but because of that it is special." Not quite sure if she made herself understood or not, she hoped she did.

Jacob was more than happy to finally receive a comprehensive answer from Lavi. He had nothing against the woman to begin with, but his curious mind would not let sleeping wolves lie. He simply needed to have a clear and specific picture of what Lavi was or who she considered herself to be. So when she started to regale him with the tale of her people and her own origins, Jacob gave her all of his attention.

He barely touched his food as he listened intently to Lavi's storied history, nodding in affirmation and showing genuine interest in his eyes.

"That's... Quite the origin story, miss. I gotta say."

It seemed that he was almost on the mark in his assumption that Lavi was a wolf in human skin. However, he failed to even guess a few key details that made Lavi into something he had never encountered before. The fact that there were apparently two(?) souls inhabiting her body, sharing her presence in the world, was a pretty new concept to him.

"No need to apologize. I fully understand now. I should be the one apologizing for assuming that you were, well, a vagrant or something."

Saying that out loud made Jacob himself cringe.

"Sounds like you have everything all together. But, um, I don't know if the guards at the park will let you just sleep out there like you were. It's unfortunate, but I don't think they can bend the rules that much.

Though... I think you could get away with it if you just wore regular clothes. Then you would just look like a sleepy park patron."

The two spirit she talked about where merged into one. She ate the remainder on her plate with shaky silverwhere usage, like a child learning to use a fork and knife but in the end it worked, trying not to get impatient to get the food into her mouth payed of. "Your actions outweight your words." she smiled, as if to say that she forgave him, besides he had been realy nice "Thank you for everything." she blushed, this was proper manners but she rarely had any use of it.

That would work but it meant that she needed to fight in the underground to get her hands on money so she could buy clothes, then it would be to late to go to the park so she would need to hide the clothes until the next time she had some spare time. Not to mention the time sink into washing herself before putting on her the clothes and hiding them again at the end of the day just to get dirty again.

While she by no means wanted to be dirty she needed to be to appear as if she was obeying him and he rarely allowed her to shower. She had thought of this idea before but fellt that she was given more time to actually rest in the grass if she didn't though on the other hand if she did came washed and clothed she wouldn't need to wory about others finding her "I will think about it.".

Lavi could be very cute when she was cleaned up and not being overly confusing. Jacob could definitely see her attracting a few young men if she ever thought about being so feral. But that was unfair. She was exactly who she was supposed to be, considering her circumstances. Expecting her to just change herself for the sake of a young man's attention was foolish and a little rude, especially because it seemed that Lavi was otherwise perfectly fine with her life style.

After being taken with her blushing smile, Jacob could only return in kind after he finished his own meal. As he cleaned up their plates, he was surprisingly thankful that Lavi managed to keep her shaky eating to a minimum, lest he have a mess to clean up.

"You are more than welcome, Miss Lavi. I hope the meal was to your satisfaction."

He was getting his own satisfaction from providing a bit of care and charity to Lavi. She might not have been the troubled vagrant he initially thought her to be, but helping another person and making them a little bit more happy was good enough on its own.

"Now that you've eaten, you don't have to stick around any longer if you don't want to. If you wanna stick around for a bit, that's okay. But you can't be here for long, my girlfriend will be home eventually. Heh. And I don't think she'd like seeing a partially-wet girl hanging around the place."
