Welcome to Gaia! ::

Aylee had heard from Ryuu that there was a guest in the house, one the android had never seen before and who didn't seem like a Sin'aeis. SO she decided to check it out. After all, strange people were strange, and on occasion meant new children for Aylee! Er. Not that that was, uh, a good thing. Really. Chaco had enough to do without having more children. Uh. Coughcough.

Regardless of Chaco's lack of time these days, Aylee made her way up from her basement lab and into the first living room, where Ryuu had told her the stranger had went. She pulled open the door and stepped inside the room, only to lay eyes on that... deer kid. The one she'd tried to pick on about Kunny being an assassin and all. Y'know, make him afraid? Not that he'd ever fallen for it, and it didn't matter much; she had her kids to pick on as well. "Yo," she said, smiling, "What're you here for?" After all, she hadn't seen this guy in AGES, and somehow doubted Kunny had either.

He was fidgeting. That was so adorable! It was just like Chaco trying to explain to new Sin'aeis owners just what their kids were. Or, y'know, talk about anything else, actually. Fidgetfidgetfidget.

...Uh. ANYWAY. Back in the neighborhood? Aylee hadn't known he'd ever left. Her brother just spent nearly all of his time working, and therefore wasn't home as often as she would like (though he seemed quite happy with the arrangement, after all he didn't have to put up with her kids when he was gone). Especially since Solo left.

Why HAD he left, anyway? Aylee hadn't done anything particularly mean to him that week, no costumes or anything. He'd just... decided to move out one day.

...

She was digressing. In her own mind, no less. Awesome.

"He's not home just at the moment, actually." He probably would be, later that day or over the next two, though. He'd been gone for almost two weeks now, and was due back from his latest job anytime. "I haven't seen you around lately. How long has it been?"

Three years WAS a long time. Especially for Aylee to remember a face. But then, this guy HAD been going going out with her brother, so that was probably why she remembered him. Kunny had just... stopped mentioning him, though, and Aylee never thought to bring him up because, well, she's forgetful. Duh.

"Fine! Well, Solo moved out, and Kon's bandmates moved in, which has caused a bit of noise, but fortunately Ryuu is around to help Chaco keep up with the cleaning. Luc's been out of the house more, and..." She honestly had no idea she was rambling, or that Pryderi probably didn't know 90% of the people she was listing. She lived in her own world, was that such a bad thing?

Out in the hall, the front door opened, and a rather... annoyed if not angry voice, "Ryuu, grab me a clean shirt and get me my sister. WHY did I listen to her? WHY? I have terrible luck. Really. WHAT was I thinking."

This caused Aylee to stop in her chatter and look at the door to the hall, "Speak of the devil, Kunny's home. BEE ARR BEE!" She flounced to the door, and entered the hallway, "Kuuunny! Guess who's here?!" Smilesmileglitterglitter.

Of course, it was clear from the look on his face that Kunny was in no mood for her ramblings. It probably didn't help that he was covered in blood, clothes ever so slightly torn. "Channa. WHY in gods name did I decide to listen to you and wear my only good white sweater? Of course, it would happen that the one time I have issues completing a job it would be THIS time." ... "WHAT are you going on about?"

It took Aylee a few moments to notice the blood, "...You bleeding?"

"Not much. Most of it was my target's. And again, Channa, what the blazes were you going on about? Who's here?" Kunny looked over at the stairs and Ryuu came down carrying a black sweater for the assassin, "Thanks."

"Just someone to see you," Aylee said, chewing gleefully on her bottom lips. "You'll be surprised. BUT. How bad are you hurt?"

"I SAID not that much. That means not bad. Just a few cuts here and there. My target and a whole load of traps set that my client neglected to tell me about. Fortunately none of them were poisoned." He took off his white sweater and handed it to Ryuu. "WHO is HERE, Channa."

Aylee tapped her foot on the floor impatiently. Why couldn't he just tell her the details THEN deal with the visitor? "In the living room," she said with a sigh, "See for yourself."

Kunny rolled his eyes and pulled the black sweater over his head. The dried blood on his hands and face flaked off, and the cuts he did have didn't show through the sweater because, well, BLACK yanno? He then reached over and pulled open the door and headed into the room his sister had just exited, only to stop a few short feet in. "...P-Pry."

"I... ah..." Kunny said, his face bright red by the time Pry had finished his statement. The absolute last person he'd expected to see was Pryderi, and perhaps for good reason. Three years was a long time, and he too had thought he'd been forgotten. "Uh... I just... I..."

It was perhaps fortuitous that at this point Ryuu stepped in and proffered Kunny a wet cloth. "Huh? Oh... Thank you, Sasakura-san." He took the cloth and Ryuu stepped out with Aylee stepping into his place beside her brother. She was grinning rather childishly, obviously amused. Her attention span is remarkable.

Kunny decided to ignore her for the time being, and used the cloth to clean some of the dried blood off his face, "Er, no. It's just... Well, I wasn't expecting you. Uhm. What are you doing here? I-I mean, not that I'm not pleased or anything, it's just... Uhm. Unexpected."

He uhmed worse than Chaco, sometimes.

Goddamned contagious blush. Now with Pry blushing Kunny felt even MORE awkward, if that were possible. Why did most of their meeting go like this, anyway? They were both so bad at this.

But Pryderi's wants weren't unreciprocated. Kunny had also wanted to see the deer boy, but really hadn't known how to go about it. And he was usually on a job, which made things so much harder. And time had gone on, and before he'd known it a whole year had gone by since he's last seen Pry. And after that, well... It was just... awkward.

And yet it hadn't changed feelings. That was... good. "I... see. Uhm." Kunny had no idea what to say. I mean, where did you go from here?

Thank goodness for Aylee. "YOU ARE BOTH SO PATHETIC," she said, frowning, "How HARD is it to say hello to someone? And hold conversation? I can hold them for HOURS."

"Channa, SHUT UP. For Chrissakes, imagine if you and Rian hadn't seen each other for years. How would YOU react to him after all that time?"

"...That's a stupid question. I'd respond like I normally do. Why?"

Kunny shook his head. "Nevermind. Why do I bother." He finished wiping the blood off of himself, or at least the parts that were visible. "So, uhm. How have you been?" This question was directed at Pry, and fortunately Aylee was bright enough to not respond herself.

Kunny shrugged, "Yeah, kind of. I haven't been home very much, since work has been taking up most of my time." He did his best not to say uhm. UHM. Always with the uhm. He spoke normally every OTHER time, why not when he was around Pry? Damnit. "I'm really the only one around here with any income." He shot a glare at Aylee with this statement, then proceeded to ignore her again.

"You were actually lucky you came today, you know." If only his sister wouldn't spend so much money. And she kept adding more people to the household, using more electricity. At least Ryuu bartended as a side job to pay for the electricity he used. That was a blessing. "Has your family been alright?"
