Lance paused, staring at the worn, tired looking aparentment that he knew belonged to the man named William Hughes. He had woken incredibly bored that morning, but wasn't in the mood to go out and play with the girls. Well, it was more like they had all told him no and he had somehow found himself in this part of Eden Town.
He hadn't really met William before except for in passing. He was an amusing sort, though he did seem to stammer constantly. Still, that only made it fun and he wanted to help the loner come out of his shell.
After all, you can't impress a lady if you don't have confidence!
He marched up to the door, knocking loudly before examining the flowers in his hands.
Lesson 01: Girls love presents, werewolf or human.

William groaned and stumbled along the hallway of his apartment, reaching for the door handle, dressed only in his dressing gown and a fresh pair of boxers, he hoped to everything he could think of that whoever was on the other side of the door was not about to ask him why he, William, had not made it into work today.
How would he manage to answer?
What would he manage to answer?
Steeling himself, he managed to grab the handle and swing the door open to reveal...
A red headed man..
Standing on his doorstep...
Holding...flowers?
William blinked.
then, rather shrilly;
"erm...H-hello?...c-can I help you?"

Lance beamed, his eyes nearly sparkling with delight to see that he had indeed smelled the short man within the house. He didn't even seem to notice the state of William's clothing as he thrusted the flowers into his hands.
"Hello! You looking absolutely beeeeaaaauuuuuutiful today!" he exclaimed, pushing his way into the doorway more in case William tried to close it.
He wasn't about to get a door slammed into his face twice. "I don't know if you know me, but I'm Lance! Lance Kyer, of the Validus. I'm here to teach you how to be the most charming man in Eden Town!" he paused for a moment, "Well, second most charming man. I'm the first."
Lesson 02: Always compliment them no matter what. Every girl, not matter how she seems to react, loves to be complimented.

William could only watch helplessly, flowers dangling from an unresisting fist, as this madman waltzed into his apartment
Beautiful?...teaching...Lance...what?
A sudden terror gripped William;
What if this man really was mad? and he, William, had just let him into his rooms! William might be a werewolf but he was certainly no fighter in any respect.
He hurried after Lance, a look of absolute panic spread across his chubby features.
"c-can I ask you t-to please l-l-..."
He trailed off as something else of the man's speech cut into his brain.
Validus.
The werewolf clan.
William whimpered.
"l-listen...I-I try t-to keep my head down...I-I'm no bother...I-if I've d-done anything to upset your A-alpha..."

Lance looked at William, a look of innocence mixed with confusion in his expression as his own lower lip trembled. “What? Did Lucas yell at you too? Don’t worry, he’s just jealous of men like us. We have this natural ability to gain attention from beautiful women.” He had somehow now made his way completely into the entryway, where his eyes inspected the apartment.
Well, it wasn’t too bad. At least he had made an attempt to tidy up the place, but it was in no shape to impress ladies. That would be a lesson for later though.
He turned his attention back to William, reaching forward and pulling the man beside him as he walked himself further into the apartment. “No worries, no worries. Don’t you realize women like strong men? Well, being a little weak at times is good too. Some ladies like being in a dominating position, but at the same time, you need to take initiative! CONFIDENCE IS KEY!”
Lesson 03: Confidence is key. Know when to show it and hold it back.

William had to lean to the side slightly as he was frogmarched through his own apartment, it seemed either that or be deafened by this babbling stranger as he was towed along.
"I-I don't know w-what you...h-have we even.."
he tried desperately to work out what was going on, but his brain seemed to have frozen in the light of this strangers...strangeness...
Was he really trying to teach him...Pick up techniques?
Finally he went for what usually worked best in these situations.
Whimpering out a feeble;
"p-please don't hurt me"

Lance suddenly halted, having somehow made his way into the kitchen. He looked around, wondering if the single man could cook. Women loved men who could cook, though you have to be careful. You have to figure out what she likes and doesn’t like first.
He moved forward, babbling again and letting William go as he checked through the cupboards. “Do you have tea? You should always have both tea or coffee, and something sweet just in case. If you ever have a woman over, you need to have all bases covered. If she simply asks for water then that is a very bad sign.”
He stopped, turning his head to William before grinning. “Hurt you? Are you crazy, I’m trying to help you, silly man.” He turned back around and continued his rifling. “I’m a lover, not a fighter.”
Lesson 04: Always be prepared for company.

To his credit, William only flinched slightly at the mention of tea, his mind still unable to decide what to do with this...Lance...fellow, and confused enough on it's own.
Maybe if he...Went along with what this man was saying...Comply with his demands...He might eventually go away and leave William in peace? And hopefully not steal anything valuable while he was at it.
he tried to sound jovial as he lent on the counter, wrapping his dressing gown tighter around himself.
"A-a lover...r-really? heh"

“Yeah! If you fight too much, you get all beat up! Although some ladies do like a few battle scars, I prefer the comfort of a woman than the teeth of a fellow werewolf.” He explained, giving a wave of his hand before closing the cabinets.
He turned, placing his hands on his hips as he tilted his hand slightly. He surveyed the rest of the kitchen before his eyes landed back on William. He seemed to finally realize the man wasn’t even wearing pants, though it only led him to a different pointer.
“Wardrobe!” he exclaimed, once again grabbing hold of William and going back through the house. It took him a few times before he finally found the bedroom. He stumbled into the closet and the bathroom first, though once inside his destination he looked around expectantly.
“Hrm…not too bad.”
Lesson 05: Know when to fight, and know when to call it quits and make up

William, by not just a little caught up in Lance's enthusiasm, peered nervously round at his tidy little bedroom;
From his neatly made little bed with the blue covers, to the small round blue rug on the floor and the closed yellow blinds.
like it's owner, It was hardly an attractive room, but it was clean and tidy, with little fuss or nonsense.
William felt a small blush of defensiveness flush across his cheeks at Lance's words.
"w-what do you mean...n-not too bad?"
he quavered, feeling a little put out.

“It shows that you do care about cleanliness and appearance.” He stated, moving inside and beginning to go through his drawers and closet now. He was frowning though now, realizing that his style didn’t seem to change at all. Did he wear the SAME thing EVERY day? How boring!
“We have to do something about your wardrobe though.” He said, pulling out something for him to put on and tossing it at his head. It was a silent command to at least put pants on. Last thing he needed was another visitor stumbling across Lance with William half naked. “You need more variety. Doesn’t mean you have to change your style completely, just have a few special things.”
Lesson 06: Show some decency and don't be a pig

The suit trousers hit him in the face with a soft thwack, draping themselves over William's head and blocking out his view of whatever that man was doing to his clothes.
Desperately William dragged them off of his head and started tugging them on, realizing that he was taking orders from a complete stranger, albeit an incredibly enthusiastic one.
And more variety? What was he talking about? William wore suits every day, he liked it. It made him feel smart; less like the lowly little clerk that he was, more like the man he had been.
"I-I have...different... c-coloured ties..."
He found himself mumbling in protest, knowing it wouldn't be enough to appease this ginger typhoon of love advice.

"I think a pink suit would fit you, or maybe even red? Something loud!" he turned, eyes seeming to sparkle at the sudden possibilities. "Oh, no no no, suits are great! Sophisticated, smart, crisp! Those are all great qualities for style! You just have to loosen your tie every once in a while."
He carefully folded the clothes he had been holding out, placing them back in their correct places. At least he was being considerate.
"Just sometimes, when you dress differently you stand out a bit more!"
Lesson 07: Dress to impress. You don't want swagger, you want class.

"B-but I don't want to s-stand out"
He was whining now, and he knew it, but what would he achieve with a bright suit and tie? How was he supposed to hide it when he...Well...Went for his little runs in the forest?
Pink and red were hardly subtle colours.
But still...The crazy man did have something of a point...
It wasn't fun being a wallflower.
"...B-But you...you think so?"

"You're not going to be running around in rainbows or naked, silly man. You're not going to stand out too much, just catch their eyes. Make the ladies do a double-take!"
He whipped around, arms flailing for a moment before he ruffled his own curly red hair. He'd been in the kitchen and the bedroom, maybe living room next? Entertainment!
He began to leave Will's bedroom now, heading where he thought the main room was. "I don't think so, I KNOW so!" he turned around, pointing a finger at Will's face. "I am the werewolf that's going to change you into a valiant man!"
Lesson 08: Changing yourself isn't always bad, so long as you don't lose your true values.
