Graham/Deputy Graham Humbert

Graham chuckled knowing he was teasing.

"Well you should try it at least once. I'm sure I'll surprise you." said Graham.

He paused as Whitney asked about Akela and sighed.

"I only saw him once since we got here. He's sort of become my spirit guide here I guess. He led me to my heart but I didn't find it before Regina crushed it. Thankfully she put a new heart into my body as she wanted to still punish me by locking me in that asylum. Thankfully I got out." said Graham.

He nodded when the others agreed that paintball could wait another day. He frowned as he said he was working as Regina's secretary so at least she wasn't hurting him for the moment.

"Don't worry Whitney. We'll free you from her soon. We just need to find a way to do it." said Graham.

He paused turning to Minos and nodded.

"Sounds like a plan." said Graham.

He chuckled at Minos saying his cooking couldn't be all that bad.

"See Minos agrees with me." said Graham.

He paused realizing he didn't tell them about his father.

"Oh I forgot to tell you guys. I reunited with my human father here and he's going to move in with me soon so we can hang out more. I only met him a few times in our old world and now we have a chance to be together. To be a family here. So I guess there was some good that camed out of this curse after all." said Graham.

Whitney smiled glad they would hang out at Graham's house. He chuckled as Graham and Minos said his cooking wasn't that bad.

"Fine. I'll try it once. But if I get sick I'm blaming you." teased Whitney.

He patted Graham on the back as he talked about Akela.

"At least he's watching over you now. I guess it'd be harder to have a wolf here. They'd probably have put him in the zoo or something. So at least he has his freedom now." said Whitney.

He smiled as Graham spoke about reuniting with his father. He knew he should reunite with his sister and grandmother. But a part of him was still afraid. And he wanted to be free of Regina before he asked not wanting Regina to use him against them.

"That's great news. I'm glad you found your father again. And I'm glad we found each other again. Storybrooke was pretty lonely this past 28 years without you guys. But now I don't feel lonely anymore." said Whitney.

He smiled looking at them both as he took another sip of his drink setting it down.

"So what do you guys want to do once we get to your place? Watch a movie maybe? Or we just going to talk? I'm fine with anything I guess as long as we're together." said Whitney.

[Minotaur/Minos Matador]

Chucklng lightly he spoke "That is right we only can die once" With that he made move to act like he was chocking before he stopped to smile "But, as you said will try it at least once & look forward t being supprised" He was said to hear about Akela "Perhaps we can help you look for Akela" He smiled with Graham last words "That is cool that you found your father & form the sound of it you guys are making up for the lost time" He was glade for his friend of course it was always great to find family or those that one would call family or that. He heard Whitney words & they where much like his own at his last question he spoke "We could do ether or even both watch a movie & talk, I suppse we can get there & see what happens" With tha he waited to see what the two would say & what there thoughts where.

Graham/Deputy Graham Humbert

Graham paused and chuckled.

"Hey if you don't want to taste my cooking that's your loss. Guess I'll give your steaks to Archie so he can give them to Pongo." said Graham.

He paused seeing Whitney's mouth start to water and he chuckled.

"Or I could save some for you." said Graham, chuckling.

He paused as the subject came to Akela.

"Perhaps you could both help me. I know we all lived in the woods in our old land. Perhaps you two could help me find him. If he's still here. Archie was turned into a human and you didn't turn into a wolf at all during the curse. For all I know Akela could only come to me that time because he's a ghost." said Graham.

He didn't want to believe Akela was gone but he wanted to know for sure either way. He smiled as they both were glad he reunited with his father.

"Yeah. Hopefully we can get a real relationship and be close. My father, Akela, and you guys are the only family I have left. We got so close in that maze that you guys feel like family to me. And I protect my family." said Graham.

He paused and grinned.

"Yeah. We can decide once we get there I guess." said Graham.

Samuel/Whitney Anderson

Whitney grinned at Minos's words.

"But once is all it takes" Said Whitney.

He paused as Graham said he would just give his steaks to Pongo as his mouth watered at the mention of them. Hearing Graham say he could keep them if he wanted Whitney nodded.

"Let's not be too hasty. Maybe you're a good cook after all." said Whitney.

He paused seeing Graham was teasing him and grinned. He smiled as Graham was glad they offered to help.

"You're right. Being a werewolf and Minos was stuck as a minotaur and you were a hunter. We all lived out in the woods in our old world for awhile. We'll find Akela don't worry." said Whitney.

he paused as Graham was wondering what they could do when they got there.

"Well a movie sounds fun. Although maybe we could just catch up some more once we get there and decide what we want to watch. Well I guess it would depend what movies you had." said Whitney.

[Minotaur/Minos Matador]

He heard Graham's words "I think I would rather have you save me some" Not that it would go will for him in the end, he heard his words on helping look for Akela. "We can look for Akela & see what we turn up" He was glade that the two where maing the relationship with his father to grew "Let use know if you have things planned with your dad so we can work around it" He was almost done with his food & drink he was hopping to be done with in like 5 mins, he listened to Whitney words he nodded "I suppose we can all leave once we are done & they bring are bill & it is payed"

Graham/Deputy Graham Humbert

Graham grinned at them.

"Alright. If you get sick I'll pay for your hospital bills. Or at least help nurse you back to health." said Graham.

He chuckled as Whitney spoke saying not to be too hasty once he mentioned the steaks as he chuckled.

"Alright. I'll let you have them when I cook." said Graham.

He smiled as they both offered to help search for Akela.

"Thank you. I don't know where he is. Perhaps he's staying with the werewolves. Akela, Whitney, and I used to be part of their tribe. I heard when the curse broke most of them moved into the woods preferring to live away from the town not trusting the rest of us. I can't really blame them. After Regina massacred most of the wolf pack it's a wonder they trust humans at all." said Graham.

He grinned and nodded.

"Well I think we'll decide when we get there. If we prefer to just catch up we can do a movie night another night." said Graham.

He nodded to Minos.

"If I have something planned with my dad yeah I'll make sure it doesn't clash with our guys night. Maybe I can invite him along next time. I don't know if he has many friends in town and I would like him to meet you guys." said Graham.

When Minos said once they brought they bill they could just pay it and go. Graham nodded and to his surprise the waiter showed up with the bill as if hearing them. Graham chuckled at the timing as he headed to the counter and paid for his meal getting a cup to go as another waiter brought him a cup of his drink as he stepped aside to let the others pay.

Samuel/Whitney Anderson

Whitney grinned at Graham's claim.

"I'll hold you to that." teased Whitney.

He smiled in relief as Graham said he'd let him have the steaks as Whitney chuckled. Soon the topic shifted to Akela and he nodded. When Graham mentioned the werewolves living in the forest Whitney nodded. He glanced at Minos worriedly as Ren had nearly hurt him that day but thankfully he'd been able to talk him down from it.

"I know about them but they're not thrilled to see me either. Ren knows I'm under Regina's spell. He tried to hurt Minos and I stopped him. But he viewed it as a betrayal at first until he learned of the spell Regina has me under. He left making a vow to free me. I just hope he doesn't do something stupid." said Whitney.

He paused as Graham said he'd make sure anything they did wouldn't interfere in any plans with his dad. He grinned when Graham said he might invite him along next time.

"Sure. I'd love to meet your dad sometime." said Whitney.

When the waiter came with the bill Graham got up to pay his bill. Whitney followed also getting a cup to go as he finished his cup at the table. He smiled paying his bill at the register and stepped aside for Minos to finish.

(ooc: Guess we could do a time skip after your post to the apartment.)

[Minotaur/Minos Matador]

Minos nodded with Grahams words "We can start the looking for him in the forest, when ever you wish to start. And as you said Graham once we get there we can see where things go" He smiled "You are welcome to invite your father, we could still have the all guys night out" He saw the waiter show up with there bill after he made note they could pay he chuckled "I suppose they must of hear me" He payed for his food as he waited for the others to be ready to go, so they could go talk. "Well he might do somthing stuppid & just not think of it as so" Once the others where done paying he spoke "Are we already?" He was ready to leave like the rest of them & hang out.

(OOC: We can do the time skip on this thread or just start a new one is fine to)

Graham/Deputy Graham Humbert

- Time Skip-

Graham arrived at the apartment with Whitney and Minos. He smiled as he headed to the fridge and pulled out a beer as he shut the fridge. He turned to the pair.

"If you want anything to drink or eat help yourself. I've got plenty." said Graham.

He smiled taking a seat on his couch.

"So what do you want to do? Keep catching up? Or watch a film perhaps." said Graham.

[Deleted]

Samuel/Whitney Anderson

Whitney smiled as he walked into the place and grinned.

"Pretty cool place Graham." said Whitney.

Hearing Graham say if they wanted anything to help himself. He grinned. He headed to the fridge grabbing a coke as he joined Graham sitting on the couch.

"Both sound good. But maybe we should catch up some more first. We can always watch a movie later." said Whitney.

[Minotaur/Minos Matador]

He heard the twos words it sounded good "you do have a great place, of course not always dealing with Mr. Good but still you got the place". He waited a moment before he spoke "I think just talking would be good to start". With that he waited to see what the two would say.

[Deleted]

Graham/Deputy Graham Humbert

Graham nodded.

"Alright. Well there's not much else for me to catch up on. I mean we just repeated the same day over and over during the curse so they sort of all blend together. Although being stuck in that asylum for months wasn't fun either. I'm so glad to be out of there." said Graham.

He hated thinking about that place. He still owed a debt to Jefferson. Thanks to him he was free. Although he hadn't seen him since that day.

"So what have you two been up to lately?" asked Graham.

[Deleted]

Samuel/Whitney Anderson

Whitney nodded glad to catch up some more. He had to admit the days under the curse did blend together. Since the day repeated and all. But being reminded of the asylum made him wince. They should have known something was wrong. He felt bad he'd let Graham stay locked up in that place for months.

"I'm sorry you were locked up there. I should have known something was off. We all should have. She had you and Belle locked up there. And she kidnapped Kathryn and faked her death like she did to you. And we can't prove a thing." said Whitney, annoyed.

He knew Graham didn't blame him or anyone in the town. Regina's plan had been flawless. If Graham hadn't escaped they might have never known he was there. He smiled when Graham asked what they'd been doing.

"Well aside from working for Regina not much. Although I wish I could still hang out with Ren or have the courage to talk to my family. I was so sure I wanted to talk to them. Then I got captured by Regina. And then the curse. If it wasn't for you and Minos I'd probably have gone crazy. So thanks for that." said Whitney.

He knew he had to talk to Ruby and Granny eventually. He just wished there was way to remove this spell he was under.

[Minotaur/Minos Matador]

He heard Graham's words "I cannot say really anything is difrent, much like you it was all the same for many years & nothing really changed" He heard Whitney's words "Regina is a bit to smart & more so with the curse being broken to be caught so easly on such a matter. As much as I hate to say it I think that Mr Gold might be one of the few that could prove anything when it comes to Regina & her magic, I know Emma is good, but she had not had to deal with magic so much like many of use have" He waited before he spoke "I think being with out company in Regina's prision would of driven me more crazey, but know I get to make new memorys"
