Adian glanced over once to Reiha, then went back to the road. The road to Erik's had become a comfortable one for the young man. Despite the various problems with Scruffy Adian really liked bringing Reiha here. Berial just made Reiha smile in a way that did the young man's heart feel...warm. Reiha was the first real addition to his family, in his heart. He never could accept anyone who dated his sister into his heart, too over protective, (yes he was aware and wasn't going to change) and his dad never actually dated, not seriously anyway.
Reiha though, she came in without warning and without apology. It almost seem absurbed to Adian how the girl who refused to like him he ended up falling for. At least she was a kid, she can't hurt him, can't betray him. Reiha had a tough past but Adian would find a way to work around it, or though it most likely.
For now though, Berial was a great distraction. He could make Reiha smile and laugh, and that's just what the girl needed, a normal childhood. Adian could try to give her that at least.
The car slowed as they reached the house, adian glanced over at Reiha, who of course siad nothing though out the ride, just stared out the window, muttering things to Korbin who made the apporitate noises back. At least Adian asumed they were apporitate.
"We're here."
"I know." Reiha sighed at the stupidity of Adian's statement and she climbed out of the car. She let Korbin fly up as he'd been itching to do. Berial's was the one place that Korbin felt pretty safe leaving Reiha alone for a moment while he streatched his wings. Reiha waved him off before she ran to the door. The one thing she hated about going to Berial's was the long drive, it was so boring and of course wanting to see Berial made it all the worse.
The little girl pushed the door bell just as Adian managed to step in behind her.

Scruffy answered the door looking slightly disgrunlted. He peered from behind his shades at Adian then, down at Reiha. "Berial's waiting for you, kid.." He said, moving aside to allow them inside.
Berial wasted no time in coming over to Reiha. "Reiha!" He excalimed, exited and rushing over to give the girl a tight hug.. From the living room there was a slight crash and Scruffy rolled his eyes.
"I'll be in my room.." He said, walking awa through the living room. Ignoring the pink hair woman who was sprawled on the floor onto of Erik.

Reiha glanced up at Scruffy as he spoke. The odd other Erik made Reiha feel odd. She felt small, scared, and remembered scents she hated, but she also felt strong, and proud. The girl took a deep breath though the nose to clean out the hated stench and she took a step forward.
She was beyond that now.
"Hi Berial." she grined and hugged the boy tight as she waved Scruffy off, half best friend, half lady to servent. "Hi Erik." she waved to the man when she noticed him in the living room but ignored the werid situation, caring more about Berial.
Adain, on the other hand, as he steped in raised an eyebrow at the scene he found. He was a little glad that Reiha didn't freak out like she normally would when ever sex and him were together. Then again Erik wasn't watching over Reiha.
"Are we interupting?"

Berial led her along. "Thas 'Chel." He told Reiha as he led her to his room, which now had some glow in the dark stars glued to the ceiling. "She's Erik's co'sin.. She's okies, but they talk too much.." He explained.
Brown eyes looked up at Adian and she made a snorting sort of noise, her hadn moving to cover her mouth as she moved to get off Erik. Then she went out into full blwon laughter.
Erik's cheeks went red and he shook his head fervently. "No.. ew." He said, shaking his head again as he sat up, his cheeks growing redder and redder as Chel's laughter grw louder, coupled with the occosional. "Erik? With a Girl?".. He kept blushing and looked down. "she's my cousin, thats. jsut.. ewww.."

"I don't know, if I had a cousin like you." Adian sent her a grin, "Well, not first cousin." Adian grined and glanced over her and then looked to Erik to see him blushing. He laughed a little. "Come on Erik, you wont ever get a girl if you keep on blushing like that."
"Well no one is perfect." Reiha murrmed, then grined at him. "Wow, look at these cool stickers." she grined at him as she looked around his room, heading to window that she opened up, knowing Korbin would find it when he was done flying.

Berial smiled. " 'Chel got them for me.. She di'n know Mu' had me but she wen tout to get them for me. Said sh wouldn't be a proper aunt if she din't pamper me." He siad, reciting the last bit as if from memory.
Erik mumbled something about crazy cousins as he stood, still blushing. Chel's cheeks went a little pik but she beamed at his compliment. "And who are you? Erik never told me he had any handsome friends.." She said, pushing ehrslef up witht he couch and runnign her fingers to fix her rumpled spiky pink hair.. She was a sigh next to Erik. He looked like he always did, button down shirt, as always, but she looked like she'd jsut come abck from a party, skulls and tanks tops, all in bright pink to match her hair.

"I think Adian has a sister." Reiha mentioned, "I don't really know her though, she hadn't come over. Adian also has a dad. He talks about them sometimes and calls them on the phone. He doesn't like who his sister dates. Which is stupid because he's always dating someone different." Reiha shrugged it off. "I like the stickers though."
Adian gave her his practiced grin, fast, quick and just good natured. It didn't make him look as charming as he would have wished, when he was younger he just looked goofy but he found it often put girls at ease, which was the point. Adian got over his lack of perfect looks a long time ago. "I'm Adian, my brat is his runt's best friend." Adian explained with a laugh. The term brat had love in it.

He smiled. "Maybe he'll take you to meet her soemday. I din' even know Erik had family 'sides me.. He doesn't have a Mu' anymore.." He said, his voice dropping slightly. He had overhead snippets of Scruffy and Erik talking..
"He's not a runt...." Erik mumbled but Chell jsut waved her hand to silence him.
"Pleasure. I'm Chel."
"Ixchel." Erik said, earning him a pumch on the arm from Chel. "OW!" He said, pouting. WHy was his cousin always so brash?
"Ixchel. But you can call me Chel. I decided to move to Gaia and I'm crashing here with Erik for a while.."
"Wait. WHat? You never said you were moving!" He was silenced again as Ixchel put her gfinger on his lips, not even turnign around to face him.
"I was goign to tell you soon.. She said, Erik jsut rolled his eyes. Ixchel wa.s. soemthign else.

Adian laughed at Erik's mutterings and then he reached over to grab his hand, doing an over exagerated bow and kissed her hand quickly before sending her that grin again. He always went for the laughs, he couldn't pull off charming but he could pull off cute.
"Well Gaia can always use another beauty, especialy one as pretty as you." Adian grined before he stood up and glanced at Erik, "He's a cute runt, relax man. Better than a brat." He laughed again.
"I don't think Adian has a mom. He has pictures of his family everywhere in his house." Reiha murrmed, as she sat down on Berial's bed. "But only his dad and sister and sometimes him and his friends you know? I don't ever see a mom." Reiha didn't have a lot of esperiences with moms, no one she cared about had one.

Berial nodded. He never saw pictures of family aroudn the house at all and Scruffy got.. testy whenever the subject was brought up.. "Can Erik still be a Mu', even if he's a boy?" He asked. He'd only recently come to the distinction that Mom's were girls and Dad's were boys..
Chel seemed genuinely charmed though as he spoke, her smile growing wider. "Are you always so flattering, Adian? It's enough to make me blush as bad as Erik" She asked jokingly. She recognized his flirt and she was flirting back.
Erik rolled his eyes. It was sickening.. "I'm gonna get soem water.." He said.. Chel was lieka s ister and that was jsut.. grosss....

Reiha shrugged, "I don't know." she admited, "I mean, I don't know much about Mu's. I don't see why a Mu can't be Erik. I mean he loves and cares for you and you love him back." Reiha mentioned, that's how she classified a Mu.
Adian grined, "Only to the pretty girls." he teased, he always liked it when he got girls as open to his girls as he was. Some girls got so prissy when you flirted with them, like they expected every guy to be different, only talking to them if they wanted marriage, kids, to worship thm and had a huge bank account. It got anoying.

He nodded, sitting there in the dark thinking for a moment before looking up. "But you take care of me too, and I love you back.. does that mean you're my Mu too?"
Ixchel smiled broadly. At first she ahd beena little worried. Erik ahd prefered this palce over Earth, so perhaps it was more reserved and prudish, liek him, but she had found it crazier than earth, by a long shot. "So Adian, Is Reiha also a.. passenger(she had remember what Erik called them) or is there someone I should worry about before flirting openly nd blatantly with you?"
Ixchel knew full-well Reiha was a passenger. But she'd rather not even mess with a guy witha fiance or something. She'd gone down that road before. It wasn't pretty.. She didn't seek commitment, she wanted fun, but it wans't like she was about to court danger either..

Reiha paused to think about it, kicking her legs. "I think it's different with us, because we're the same age, you know? I mean if you had a sibling that wouldn't be a Mu. I think Mu's have to be older, able to give you a home and stuff. Like I couldn't give you a home 'cause I can't work yet, but Erik does work and he can."
Adian laughed, "Sometimes I wish. At least then I'd know where she came from." For a moment something flickered into Adian's eyes, something deeper than the causual flirting he prefered with women. Reiha's past was a mystery to him, and yes, he wished it wasn't. "And I'd have someone to blame for her additude." he shot back, forcing the dark mood away.
"Naw, I got Reiha off the train just like Erik did, different times of course. Meeting Erik was just by acident, a pretty lucky one though. Berial's been a real help in lighitng Reiha up, she was such a p***k before she met him. Plus, Erik gives me a little project." Adian glanced at the man, then leaned closer to Chel, "Trying to get him laid. Hard work, but I think I can do it, he just needs to relax a little, he's sorta cute in the bookish shy way, you know?"

Berial nodded lying down on the floor to stare up at his tiny stars.. "You're really smart.." He said, looking over at her and smiling. "I'm happy I met you, Rei.." He said softly.. He had been, thikig alot, since the night of his panic. The fear he hadfelt that night.. It had gripped him tight and.. he didn't want to lose anyone.. Perhaps that was what had got him so scared..
"Berial's a sweet kid.. Should have seen his face when I brought him some stickers. It's nice he has a friend though. Erik can be quite the hermit." She said in response, before glancing over at Erik at his second words.
She chuckled though. "Laid?" She said, her tone lwoering so Erik, whowas sying himself in the kitchen could not hear her. "That's quite a project.. He hasn't even had a girlfriend yet." She looked over at him again. "Though he could be adorable if he wanted to.."

Reiha grined over at Berial, and then moved down to lay next to him, grabing his hand as she stared at the fake stars. "I'm happy I met you too Berial. You're my best friend. I wont ever leave you." she swore quietly, her hand squeezing his tightly.
Adian grined, "Yeah, he's a cute kid, little whimpy though, it works though because Reiha is so tough she just takes care of it. I'm sure once they start going to school Berial will get more friends, he's too nice to not earn them."
Adian glanced at the ktichen again, and grined at the idea of him getting a girlfriend, "I geuss he's more of the girlfriend type. He just needs to find someone...I dunno calm, able to handle his nervousness, and his awakwardness till it just fades away."
