"Well, now that you know about me, tell me about yourself," said Beomgyu as he walked around Toronto with Youngtaek. "I don't know what you want me to say," hummed Youngtaek. "My past isn't as... Bad I guess," he added.

"I mean, it's not as bad compared to yours," Youngtaek added quickly. "I wasn't part of Seongyoon's coven until much later, when I went to Russia," he explained.

"What caused you to join his coven anyway?" Asked Beomgyu. "I was rescued by Seongyoon, and was given the chip after a bad accident," explained Youngtaek. "I don't remember what the accident was, but I know I couldn't walk," he added.

"I'm forever indebted to him, despite the fact that I don't follow him anymore like I used to," Youngtaek explained as Beomgyu tilted his head to the side in thought.

"Who's the main holder of the chips?" Asked Beomgyu. "It's Bomin, actually," replied Youngtaek. "So I'm protected as it is, if Seongyoon was going to try something," he added.

"Daeyeol says that the kill switches were turned off, so I'm fine with that," hummed Youngtaek. "I am just happy to be able to walk, you know?" He asked. "I understand that," hummed Beomgyu as he nodded. "Then you'll know that a fox 'shifter with my kind of genes is rare," said Youngtaek as he turned to Beomgyu. "You have the genes of a 9 tailed fox?" Asked Beomgyu as he tilted his head to the side. Youngtaek nodded. "The three of us, Bomin, Jangjun and I, do," he replied with a shrug. "Interesting," hummed Beomgyu.

"They don't exist anymore, but they sort of exist through us fox 'shifters," explained Youngtaek. "I'm pretty sure Bomin's the oldest right now, along with his brother," he added. "Hm," hummed Beomgyu. "But not every fox 'shifter has 9 tailed fox genes," he remarked. "Nope," replied Youngtaek. "Interesting," remarked Beomgyu. Youngtaek shrugged, like it wasn't a big deal.

It took some time before Beomgyu felt like leaving Canada all together, switching out the pack for a smaller and lighter one that was big enough to hold two sets of clothes, one for Youngtaek and one for himself. Youngtaek's shoes would be tied to the bottom of the pack and that was fine with Youngtaek.

"Where are we going?" Asked Youngtaek. "We're heading south, to the states," came the reply as Beomgyu turned away to let Youngtaek strip and change after he folded his clothes up. Beomgyu turned around and went to put Youngtaek's clothes into the pack and tied his shoes to the bottom of the pack before putting the straps on his shoulders.

"Ready fox?" Beomgyu asked with a smirk after adjusting the pack and making sure his phone was secure in his pants pocket. Youngtaek growled, but nodded in response, causing Beomgyu to turn and sprint off at full speed. Youngtaek pushed to run after him, using a burst of speed thanks to the computer chip in his spine to easily keep up with Beomgyu.

After stopping in the Rockies to make sure the pack there was fine with him hunting humans Beomgyu hunted in Denver, Colorado before moving on, heading southeast now as he headed towards Louisiana to catch up with an old friend.

Youngtaek followed him without complaint, though Beomgyu did stop for a while so that Youngtaek could catch up on sleep and regain some energy while Beomgyu hunted. After that though, they continued on to Louisiana to meet up with this friend of Beomgyu's.

Youngtaek didn't know anyone, so he was sure that Beomgyu was leading him to meet new people. He just hoped they were fine with him, as he was a new person to most of the people he had met so far.

Taking a canoe up the river to where they needed to go, Beomgyu had been looking more and more excited to meet up with this friend Youngtaek had never seen or heard of.

"He's an old friend from military school," explained Beomgyu as he rowed his way up the river while Youngtaek kept an eye on their surroundings. "Really? Down here in the swamps of Louisiana?" Asked Youngtaek. "Heeseung is special," Beomgyu commented with a snort, earning a raised eyebrow from Youngtaek as he turned to Beomgyu before turning back to the front.

"Hyung! Your vampire friend is here!" Someone shouted from the dock that Beomgyu maneuvered the canoe to sit against. "Hello Niki," greeted Beomgyu as Niki went to tie the boat to the dock. "Gyu," greeted Niki as he grinned at him. Beomgyu made sure it was stable before handing Niki his pack and climbing out, helping Youngtaek out of the canoe.

"Gyu!" Came the greeting as Heeseung ran over with someone. "Hey Heeseung, Jay," greeted Beomgyu as he bumped fists with Heesung before turning and doing the same with Jay.

"Long time no see," commented Heeseung as he tilted his head to the side. "I wasn't able to leave the country until a few weeks ago," came the reply from Beomgyu as he shrugged. "I know I have a German citizenship but I needed to do a few things first," he added. "Hm," hummed Heeseung as he turned to Youngtaek.

"This one with you?" Asked Jay as he too noticed Youngtaek. "He is," Beomgyu replied with a shrug. Youngtaek eyed the both of them with his head tilted to the side, wondering what they would say.

"Welcome to the states," greeted Jay as he grinned at Youngtaek. "Thanks," mumbled Youngtaek as he grinned back. "Don't mind him, he's never been out of Europe before," explained Beomgyu. "Oi, we need to introduce you to stuff we're doing here then," Heeseung said, nodding.

"Like what?" Asked Youngtaek. "Gator hunting season!" Explained Niki. "All of us are here, and since Jaehwan is busy this year he gave his tags to us," he added. "Gator hunting season?" Asked Youngtaek. "It's something the 'shifters do here when they're not busy with missions," explained Beomgyu. "It's why I came down," he added.

"We're usually done by the first week though, since it's all of us," explained a new voice as Jungwon walked over with Sunghoon and Sunoo. "We have an odd number of people this year," he remarked. "I'm with Heeseung this year, you know this," explained Beomgyu. "Of course," replied Jungwon as he nodded. "The fox is with you too then?" He asked. Beomgyu nodded.

"You can be our mascot," explained Heeseung as he grinned at Youngtaek. "Mascot?" Youngtaek asked in horror as he look offended. "Mr. Fox the mascot," Heeseung said with a snicker, earning a sigh from Youngtaek. "Leave it," commanded Beomgyu. "He's only joking around," he explained. "Right, right," grumbled Youngtaek.
