Wintermute tipped his head back to be able to watch the male who'd approached him and began to chuckle softly.
"Can't say I have. I think our acquaintance is about an hour or so old now. She and the pup here decided I wasn't allowed to stay out in the snow without a coat. How about you and your brother?"
Bubble Yum giggled softly and trotted back to the fire and her perch on Wintermute's back. Once she was comfy, she smiled brightly up at Sefirex, tail wagging.
"We saved Mr Wintermute and Mr Demy from the snow. Mr Demy was turning blue!"
Namine wrinkled her nose up in a smile.
"I admit to nothing. And to answer your question, I'm taking care of Bubble this weekend. We found Wintermute and Demy, he's in the shower right now, out in the snow with no coats. Bubble took an instant liking to Wintermute and since Demy was developing frostbite, I just brought them both back here and ordered Demy into a hot shower to thaw."
The little blonde pulled her hair back away from her face as she spoke. Since Demy hadn't done much more than shiver and look grateful, Namine hadn't really seen much of a problem with brinign him home to patch up a little.

Sefirex actually laughed at that comment a bit.
"He's uhhh not exactly my brother, despite looking the same. It's a long story that I'm sure neither of us want to get into right now."
Sefi turned his gaze to Bubble, giving her a small grin.
"Was he now? Well Mr. Demy sounds like a strange one doesn't he?"
"Not exactly too smart are they? To be wandering around in no coats..."
Seif whispered to the little blonde, casting another glance to Wintermute.
Now, before Seifer could go off and make some other comment on the two, the guest room door suddenly opened. Warmed up and clad in the clothes Namine had laid out, the rockstar padded back into the room.
"Didja guys miss me----heeeey, who are you two?"
Ears perked and head tilted, Demy blinked at the two scarred Audios. Seifer simply gave him a glare in return, and Sefirex seemed to be rather confused.
"Errr...Namine? Ya sure ya didn't pick up Demyx on the way home or something?..."

Wintermute gave a nod at that. "Fair 'nuff."
The black-haired audio rolled his eyes slightly as Demy reappeared. Thinking that the best course of action might be to retreat and take Bubble with him, he stood and murmured softly to the darker clad of the "twins".
"Apologies for the semi-snoopy question, friend. And now, I think the little one and I are gonna retreat to the kitchen if you'd be good enough to point the right way?"
Happily oblivious to the others conversation, Bubble Yum simply giggled again at Sefi and answered his question in her usual tone of voice. Which was to say, the next county over could have heard her if they'd wanted.
"He was wearing a fishnet shirt and a sparkly leash thing and these nifty looking pants. Those aren't good for cold weather and Namine gave him her scarf so he wouldn't freeze to death and I shared mine with Mr Wintermute and... and.. hey, where are we going?" she asked in response to Wintermute rapidly scooping her up and making for the kitchen with as much decorum as was possible.
Whispering back, Namine replied with, "Not really. Didn't seem to bother Wintermute too much, but he seems like he's used to being outdoors, you know?" she would have said more, but Demy's arrival and Sefi's confused question derailed her train of thought.
"Since Demyx still has those wings the last I saw him, I'm pretty sure I didn't bring him home by mistake. He does look an awful lot like him though..."

"Huh? I've...never heard of someone named Demyx, so I know I ain't them. And if they look like me, they simply stole my style."
Demy shrugged it off as a common occurance. Hello? Rockstar? Of course people would want to look like him.
"Still doesn't explain who they are though...."
"I don't need to explain myself to you...."
Seifer answered with a slight eyetwitch, glaring at the other male.
"...I think I'll join you two..."
Sefi snickered a bit, quickly ushering Winter and Bubble towards the kitchen as he followed them.
"This could get kinda ugly..."

Casting glances between Seifer, Demy and the retreating trio, Namine heaved a tiny sigh and rested a paw agaisnt Seifer's back, wishing that she could also go hide.
"Demyx isn't the type to uhh... steal anyone's style. He's far too sweet-tempered for stuff like that. And," now her voice took on a slightly cold edge, "Seifer and Sefirex are my friends and have just as much right to be here as anyone."
As Wintermute made it into the kitchen, he set Bubble Yum down on a counter and then carefully shut the door once Sefirex was inside. Tilting his head at the younger male, he pointed to the kitchen door with his thumb.
"Your.. ah.. partner seems to be a mite annoyed. Is it with Namine or Mr Rock Star? 'Cuase, no offense of nuthin', but if Namine's gonna be on the recieving end of any anger, I should go back out there and stand up for her, y'know?"
Swinging her legs over the counter, Bubble Yum was feeling slightly disgruntled about being taken away from the fire.
"Why're we in here? It's not fun in here unless good things are being made and why is Mr Seifer mad at Namine and Mr Demy? They didn't do anythign bad, did they?"

"He's overprotective, and don't worry. He's pissed off at Rockstar boy, not Namine. He'd never get pissed off at her."
Sefi gave Winter a bit of a wink, hinting at a relationship for those two beyond simple friendship.
"Don't worry about it, they'll work things out. And it's okay Bubble, so just try not to think about it, kay?"
Sefi didn't like to see the young one upset afterall.
"Whoa whoa whoa..."
Demy put his hands up protectively, giving the two a nervous grin.
"I just wanted to know who they were, ya know? Nothing more...just curiosity..."
Right, and wondering who the competition was, but he wouldn't say that.
Seifer bristled, the male staying rather close to Namine as if trying to protect her.

Giving herself a slight shake, Namine offered Demy a slightly apologetic smile.
"Fair enough. I should have made proper introductions when you came out. I should not have snapped at you. Sorry."
Bubble Yum continued to fidget. In spite of Sefi's words, she couldn't help but worry a little. She never seen Seifer angry before, after all. Still, she had more pressing concerns.
"I'm bored bored bored! There's nothing fun to do in here."
Wintermute grinned at Sefi's explanation and shook his head.
"Well, makes me glad I didn't try hitting on her then. Now... what to do while we hide out..." he paused, glancing around the tidy kitchen as an idea struck him. He winced a little at the thought of the potential mess, but it would keep the three of them busy at least.
"I... don't suppose you know how to bake or cook or something?" he asked as he reached for a pan.

"Erm...okay. Annnnd I'm sorry for...sounding like a jerk..or something."
Woot, apologies taken care of, they could move along now.
"Thanks for letting me shower by the way, I feel much better now."
Indeed, the weird blue tinge had gone away, and the guitarist had stopped his shivering.
Grumbling just a bit, Seifer bit back any rude comments and turned to snuggling Namine instead.
"...Name's Seifer....and....welcome"
A slight pause....
"Or something..."
The last bit was added on quietly, Seifer struggling not to kick the rockstar's a**. Namine wouldn't approve of that afterall.
"Not a clue...."
Pft, why bother knowing how to cook? Seif and Sefi usually just wandered around and got fast food or something. Much easier to handle.

"Well, you definately look better," Namine replied, studying him closely. Blue tinge gone, shiverign gone, excellent. She let out a soft purr as she was snuggled by Seifer, leanign against the taller audio.
Wintermute wandered over to the fridge, pulling out a arton of milk. Hopefully, Namine wouldn't mind him messing about in the kitchen. It was all to keep Bubble Yum entertained after all. Hunting around, he founf sugar, cocoa powder and even a half full box of cinnamon chocolate truffles. Score! Snagging a handle, he seized a knife and chopped the truffles , setting the pieces off to the side.
"Would you mind keeping an ear open for the other three?" he asked Sefi, careful not to let himself be too distracted. "I'll handle keeping the kid occupied if you can do that."
Wriggling down from her seat on the counter, Bubble Yum gravitated over to Wintermute, sniffing appreciatvely as the smell of chopped truffles hit her.
"That smells good! Whatcha making? Are you gonna make hot chocolate? You have all the stuff out that Namien uses when she makes it. She never puts candy in heres though. Are you puttign the candy in yours?"

"Yep, feeling MUCH better"
Demy stretched, grinning at the two.
Silently eyeing the guitarist, Seifer wrapped an arm around Namine as she leaned against him. Let her handle this....idiot. If he acted up Seifer would be sure to step in.
"Yeah, I'll listen for em"
Pft, if Seifer had been pissed off he'd be able to hear his 'twin' coming from a mile away.
"Don't worry about it..."

"Yes, I'm adding candy to it. It'll make the hot chocolate a little richer and creamier, hopefully. And it should have a nice spiciness thanks tot he cinnamon," Wintermute dealt with the questions in rapidfire order, mixing ingredients and simmering everythign together. Within moments, the scent of cinnamon and chocolate hung heavy on the air.
Bubble Yum hovered around Wintermute, watching him avidly as he concocted the cocoa. Heaving a contented sigh, because things were actually happening now, she stood in silence takign it all in.
Namine smiled and gently eased away from Seifer. She wanted to make sure the other three were all right.
"Well, I'm glad you feel better, Demy. Now, if you'll both exucse me, I'm gonna check on Sefi and Wintermute ad make sure Bubble hasn't driven them both crazy with questions."
Grinning, she hugged Seifer again before hurrying to the kitchen. Really, it was just a retreat fromt eh palpable tension in the room. But, at least it was a valid reason to run.

"Someone's coming, I think it's Namine..."
Ears twitching, Sefi backed away from the door in case the female made a sudden entrance.
"Doesn't sound like Seif is ripping that other guy apart though...ast least not yet."
Seifer grumbled a bit as Namine moved away. The white clad male was certainly not happy he was being left alone with Demy.
Then again, if the rockstar acted up no one would be around to stop him kicking his a**....
"Er....okay?"
Demy fidgeted a bit, watching Namine run off before turning a nervous grin to Seif.

Carefully opening the door, Namine slipped into the kitchen, heavign a relieved sigh as she closed the door and leaned against it. After a moment, she sniffed and grinned.
"It smells good in here, you three have been busy."
With a perfectly deadpan expression on his face, Wintermute pointed to Bubble Yum.
"She did it. All her idea."
A soft giggle from the youngster made him smile as he hunted out mugs to pour the cocoa into.
"Mr Wintermute used some of your candy though. Was that okay?"
Bubble still wasn't entriely convinced that using the truffles had been okay, no matter how good they made the cocoa smell.

"I just stood by the door and looked pretty."
Sefi snickered a bit, turning to look at Namine as she slipped inside.
"So how are the boys?..."
Ears flicking, Sefi awaited an answer. The possibility of Seif maulings always made for an interesting story.

Moving forward to help Wintermute fnid mugs and pour cocoa into them, Namine glanced back at Sefi and shrugged.
"Hard to say, really. They were just sort of staring each other down when I ran in here."
Finding a tray, she set the full mugs on it as well as a small bowl of marshmallows and hefted it, preparing to take the tray out.
"Get the door for me, Sefi?"
Bubble Yum twithed slightly, wantign to attack her mug right away. Hot chocolate was better than coco moo anyday! But, she knew she'd have to wait until Namine set the tray down. Sighing quietly, she waited for Namine to clear the door before bounding out.
Fishing a small hip flask from his jeans pocket, Wintermute held it up and arched an eyebrow at Sefi. Moving in a little closer to avoid Bubble overhearing, he whispered, "Somehow, you don't strike me as a straight cocoa kind of guy. Got soem brandy to spice it up, if you and your 'twin' like."
