Once the introduction had finished, Sasha leaped up and was hugging the life out of Raki, not even giving him time to answer. "Oh my gosh, he's so cute!" she squealed, ignoring the poor boy's struggles to get out or at least try to breathe. She did loosen her grip so she could get a good look at the boy. "Eh? How can someone as adorable as you be related to someone as serious-looking as Asher?""Grandpa says I look more like my mother, that's why," was all Raki could say before he was squished again. "Is she always like this?!" he asked as he looked rather helplessly at Leo. Did the boy always have friends this frightening?

Leo couldn't help but laugh at Raki's struggled breathing and Sasha's squealing. "Yep, she's like this pretty much all the time." he said a little smugly, knowing that Raki was probably a little uncomfortable with having someone so close to him like that. "Alright Sasha let him breathe will you? Plenty of time to squeeze the life out of him in the future." he said with a small laugh. "So...how are you feeling?" he asked Raki again since Sasha prevented him from replying in the first place.

Raki took a deep breath when Sasha finally let go of him. "I'm fine. Yeah, feeling loads better," he replied and faced Leo. "What about you? From what I know, you tend to react badly if Big Brother is with someone else. Are you okay?" He had woken up to Asher trying to warm the life out of him, which made him happy, but he also felt a little bad and wondered how his new brother was feeling.

Leo was kind of surprised that Raki was expression genuine concern for him but it was also a bit of a relief. Maybe he didn't need to worry about Raki after all. "Y-yeah I'm okay. Just trying to keep my mind on other things." he said softly as he readjusted himself in his seat. "So....where were you all day? It was kind of a surprise to find you at the cemetery."

"Oh, nothing important. I was just hanging out with some friends. We went to an arcade somewhere far away and I happened to be near the cemetery when the fun was over," Raki said, staying as vague as possible. "What were you doing at the cemetery? Were you also visiting Mom and Dad or are your own parents there?"

"My parents are there too. Me and Ash got a slice of cake at one of the bakery's and I remembered that we still needed to visit their grave." he said softly. "Kind of odd that both of our parents were buried there, huh?" he asked softly, wondering if Raki thought it odd as well.

"Yeah, that was creepy. Still, I'm sort of glad. We can all go together to visit our parents from now on," Raki said with a small smile. "By the way, Leo, can I talk to you alone for a minute? Maybe settle a few things and all? I mean, we're brothers now and we should try to get along for Asher's sake, right?"

Leo nodded and offered his hand so he could be escorted. "Sure, you know this place better than me so take me wherever you think is best." he said softly, hoping Raki understood that he wasn't being snooty by offering his hand.

Eagerly, Raki took Leo's hand and led him to one of the unused guest rooms of the headquarters. Leading him to a chair to take a seat, he took his own chair and twiddled his thumbs. "Okay! Let's get to know each other better. Um... Life stories? Favorite foods? Hobbies?"

Leo wasn't sure about Raki's blunt energy but maybe that was just how he was. "U-um....well my life story could be the length of a book. But I like strawberry cake and...well I like pretty much any kind of food....I don't really have any hobbies. There's not many hobbies someone can do when they can't see."

"I like mushrooms and my hobbies include decoding, planning, watching crime shows, anything spy-related," Raki said. He had hoped that Leo would tell him about his life, but they had only just met, so it's reasonable that he wouldn't want to say anything. "My life story probably isn't as interesting as yours. I dunno. I've never told it to many people. Uh... So, how did you meet Asher? I mean, I know he was adopted and all, but, like, how old were you at the time?"

So far they had nothing in common, why would anyone like spy related stuff? Raki was starting to sound more like a child than Leo was. "He joined my family when I was four....He was eight and a sad little kid too. It took a while for him to warm up to us. But he rarely talked back to my parents and he always got good grades. Not a straight A student if I remember right but still good grades."

Raki grew more and more curious. He wanted to know more about the kind of person their brother was. "What was Asher like while you two lived together?" he asked a bit more seriously. "All I really know is from what Grandpa told me. He said that he was very gentle and loving as a kid. Was he like that with you?"

Leo smiled and nodded. "Yes he was. And a lot of fun too. We used to play games with each other all the time. Our favorite thing to do together was play pranks on each other!" he said with a little laugh. "Our parents didn't like that." he said softly, catching his breath a little. "There was one time when he even got suspended from school because he punched a bully for me. It wasn't a big deal back then....the kid called me a b*****d child and when I learned what it meant I started crying in the library. I forgot that Asher liked to go there and he found me." he said softly, it was nice to reminisce on the good memories they had together.

Raki smiled sadly. "He really does love you, huh? I sort of feel bad for the bully for provoking his violent side," he said. He felt as if he had missed out on having a great brother, though he knew there was no one to blame for that. Still, he wondered if he could be loved just as much. "Did he ever talk about his old family? Maybe in his sleep or something? I think he cares even subconsciously. I mean, I woke up to him holding me as if he's scared to let go of me. It has to mean something..."
