A new tent, larger and fancier than anything he'd ever owned before and would probably beat the pants off his next tent when it came ti replace it. Rufus had moved camp since he'd come to Forks and was now closer to the mountains. It would be simple to grab animals for their blood and he wouldn't have to worry about humans bothering him. He also had a small river nearby with a waterfall that he used to wash his clothes and bathe himself. He had his guitar and everything else he needed. The homeless vampire was perched on a rock overlooking the water and he stared out at it, blinking slowly and just watching the fish swimming around in it. There were all kinds of things in the water and if he were human, he probably would have enjoyed fishing for them and eating them. Just throwing them back into the water after yanking them out by a hook seemed.....cruel.
His guitar lay propped against his rock, close at hand and he just enjoyed the day. It would start to rain in about a half hour, maybe an hour. He could see the gathering dark clouds, smell the change in the atmosphere and saw signs of nature preparing for the rain. It was to be a thunderstorm probably. Great. He hated thunder and lightening. It never made him very comfortable.
He heard footsteps and turned, seeing a familiar aura. "Ah. Miss Alex. Hello." he said brightly, "Come to hunt? Well sit and rest if you like." he then noticed something, her aura seemed....troubled. Sad. Angry. He stood up and went into his tent, coming out with a comfortable folding chair. "You are troubled about something. Sit. We can talk." and he sat back down on his rock and faced her. "How is your family doing? Did Miss Alice like the present Jasper made for her?" he wasn't going to make her talk about whatever was bothering her. If she was upset, then forcing her to talk would only make things worse. He would let it come out on its own. Or.....not at all. "I understand you and most of your family attends the high school. How is that going? I have never actually gone to school myself. I learned everything I know from tutors along the way in my human days and from experiences in my vampire days. What is it like? Do the teachers still beat the students with rulers and place them in the corner with cone shaped hats upon their heads that read 'Dunce?" he inquired.
