Welcome to Gaia! ::

((My brother's is dirty. D: When he is here anyways. He has chips and everything from who knows when. At least I don't keep food in my room.))

Abel was still counting in his head when Talen came out. He looked up lip tucked under his upper teeth as he thought about what was behind him. "That's..." he glanced to the door and shuddered a bit. "That's good. We should check on Saul." His voice came out rushed and he rung out his hands with an anxious look.

"Before...before I EVER go in there again...you should clean..." he said with exasperation and rubbed at his arms. "Please..." He gave a shaky smile, still fidgety. "Sorry..."

((Haha silly boy.))

Abel nodded to himself. "Thanks..." He muttered before going after Talen. When they got there it seemed Saul was sleeping, until it was confirmed that in fact, he as not. Abel gave a little laugh and sat down where he had been sitting before.

He made a face at Talen's statement and sighed. "I really thought I was going to suffocate..." he said softly but then smiled and examined Talen's guitar that was in his hands. "But it's okay. Let's hear you play something." He leaned back on his hands.

It was obvious he was completely content where he was. If everything could always be this way, he'd have been perfectly fine with it. There was something about just sitting around with people who made you comfortable and happy that words could not describe. It was a whole new experience for him, being around people and actually feeling at ease. It was usually the opposite when around people, he'd be nervous and always trying to make sure he was doing things right, not saying anything that might make someone feel less than happy.

He felt completely himself.

((Lalala. Haha if you wanna jump around again, that might be good! Cause we should probably get the day over with. Unless you were wanting them to do something besides being lazy and sitting around. Haha.))

((AHAHAHA I know. xD You don't always have to...I just offer it. Haha. :> I'm gonna post before I watch this thing on DISCOVERY CHANNEL. YES! It looks interesting. D: ))

Abel had almost forgotten about everything before Monday came. Abel would insist on cooking the meals and cleaning everything that needed to be cleaned, except for Talen's room. He hadn't set foot in that room since Saturday. He was sure if he did he'd definitely have a panic attack. Instead he played it safe and stayed in the clean rooms that he personally fixed up.

Every now and then something would trigger a memory he'd have rather had forgotten, but as always, he was good at hiding the emotions they brought. If he felt anything but happy, he'd just smile it off and go about spending the day with Talen, Saul, and Alice.

On Monday he took a shower and saw that he was completely healed. He knew he shouldn't have healed that fast, but he figured it was a perk of being...dead. He put on his clothes and met up with Talen downstairs before fussing over Saul and making sure he had everything he needed.

"We'll be back before you even know it." Abel said gently with a smile and looked up as Talen left. "Don't do anything reckless either." he said with a serious face before going out after Talen.

As he got up to the other boy he scratched at his head and breathed in as he usually did whenever going outside. It felt calming having fresh air in his lungs. "I feel good about today." He declared. Although he definitely did not feel good about the day. He never felt good about stepping out of Talen's house and onto the streets. There was that chance, that large chance, they'd run into things they didn't want to. And that made Abel anxious to get the day over with.

With that said he went silent and stared at the sky, watching the sun rise past the clouds and continue to illuminate the world. Maybe his feelings were wrong, maybe it actually would be a good day. Maybe.

(( WATCHING SHOW NOW! *runs off*))

((Yes, Happy Birthday Mr. King. ))

Abel sighed softly in response to Talen and nodded. It had been a pretty hectic and chaotic week, and not in a good way. It seemed like it was years ago when he first came here. Yet it was only nearly a week ago. He tried to look on the bright side to things as he followed after Talen.

The minute they were on school grounds Cain was coming towards them. Abel's face tightened and he looked away, his chest burning with dislike. He wasn't going to say he hated Cain. He couldn't hate, hate wasn't an emotion in his dictionary, but he knew he disliked him. Everyone had good in them, but for Cain, it seemed it was buried deep, deep, deep down.

Abel remained quiet as Cain and Talen talked, doing his best not to look too disturbed by Cain's presence. He put his hands in his pockets. When Cain spoke to him he made hardly a movement, only the flicker of his eyes towards the boy and then back to the crowd before them.

When Cain spoke again, Abel finally looked up to him, a look crossing his face. He was about to say something but swallowed it down. In the distance he saw Lilith perched quietly on a bench, eyes directly on them. Abel looked away and frowned. He wanted to leave. As if knowing his feelings the bell rang loudly and Abel immediately looked to Talen

"We should get to class, Talen." Abel said for the first time since Cain appeared.

((Cain is SUCH A PEEPER! GOSH. Put those peeps away, ya freak!))

Abel narrowed his eyes to the air in front of him as Cain spoke. He breathed through his nose and when Talen began to move, Abel was following as quickly as possible. At Talen's next words Abel looked to him with a frown. "You know I won't leave you with him again." He said quietly. When they passed Lilith, Abel gave a smile to her and continued after Talen.

He wanted to say more, like tell Talen he shouldn't even listen to Cain, much less meet him after school, but somehow he knew that would cause Talen to get upset or frustrated. Instead Abel kept quiet.

((And since you don't enjoy me throwing the skips on you...hahaha I'll take the liberty of doing so!))

The day went without any event. Abel sat in class with Talen and would talk to a few people that came up to him. Again he had the same girls as before asking him questions and making him blush, which would produce a round of giggles and laughter. He enjoyed himself though, being able to be with people that enjoyed his company. He wasn't used to it, so of course he was nervous, but it was the kind of anxiety that was good.

He also tended to correct Talen's history teacher, quite often. She'd say something about Europe and Abel would instantly raise his hand and tell her that it didn't happen that way. He could sense the frustration off the woman, but he couldn't sit around and let her teach these kids something wrong about what he had lived through first hand.

By the end of the day he had met a good amount of new people and was trying to remember their names as Talen and he left their last class. His eyes were looking up and a finger was in the air as he murmured some names in his head. With a smile he looked to Talen and tilted his head. "I think today went okay." He declared just as he saw Lilith rounding the corner, face as blank as a canvas and walking straight towards them.

((Lalala.))

Lilith stopped in front of them and took a breath. "Saul." She said simply and she narrowed her eyes. "He better be at your house, or I swear I will kill him." She sounded extremely serious as she spoke. For a minute Abel thought she meant it. He studied her carefully as she tightened her lips.

"He's okay. He came over this weekend. It's alright." Abel said with a calming smile and nodded. Lilith frowned more and looked to the ceiling. "You can go see him if you want. I'm sure he'd love to see you."

She let out a hollow laugh. "No. That'd be too risky. Just let him know he made me angry."

((That was short too! It was longer...but I didn't want to do too much for some reason. D: I felt like Talen needed to have a chance to get in there...?))

((Awww dog walks...))

Lilith crossed her arms and raised her chin. "Impressed with what?" She demanded but Talen continued to say something else and she looked away, shaking her head. "I know. But I can't. It's his fault he left the hospital anyways.

Abel laughed a bit before Talen asked where Cain was. He lowered his gaze and tightened his mouth.

Lilith looked back to Talen and raised her brows. "Am I supposed to know? I'm not my brother's keeper. But if I were to guess. He's probably outside somewhere. We all know how much he enjoys school." She frowned and positioned her bag on her shoulder, catching Abel's gaze. She looked in thought and then looked away quickly.

"Why?" She asked, knowing exactly why, but for some reason wanting Talen to say it himself. Abel sighed and rubbed at his arm, he didn't want Talen to go to Cain, but if he did, Abel would go with him. He wasn't about to let Talen alone with that guy.
