----------------------------------✪★✩Ⓚade✩★✪  ☆═━┈---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------┈━═☆ Before he could decide between a trim or a wash, the door opened with that familiar ring of bells as a customer walked in. Kade perked up from his position off in the chairs, standing behind the crude Jan as the guy watched college football as he requested or Kade at least hoped he was entertained by that stuff. He could never get into it, but it was more because he had to go greet his customer since he wasn't sure where Fleurette was. She may very well have been in the back, but Kade wasn't about to go get her when there was so much he was trying to get off of his mind. Like the disaster zone that Jan had! Unbeknownst to the man was that he was about to walk into another Caution Beware head of hair.
He patted Jan on the shoulder and leaned in to speak into his ear, not because he was trying anything but simply because he didn't want to interrupt the guy's television program. “I'll be right back, Jan, you just watch your, um, stuff.” No, Kade, it was cool sports junk that every guy was into! He silently sighed at his own mistake, but Jan hopefully was too distracted to notice.. or even care. He turned on his heel and left the man behind to go slide behind the front desk and give a bright, cheery smile at the new man to walk in. Just like he used to always do every day~! Now this expression was only reserved for a rare occasion with Yoakim Jr. and work.
“Hi!” He cleared his throat, realizing after he chirped that out that he was just a little too high pitched. Needed to lower that tone if he was going to get back to being straight! Not that he ever was straight, but, um, back to the client! “Welcome to Sugar Salon – what can I do for you?” Aside from what he could already tell. God, split-ends from hell on that one! And, ewww, were those roots poking through? Not as bad as Jan's was, but it was still not as pretty as some of the ladies he saw regularly. He kept that smile glued onto his face, though, as he watched the man and waited for a response.☆═━┈-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------┈━═☆

 ~I need you to need me~~Avien Rothenburger~
"Oi, I'm sure you can tell and I'm so ashamed I didn't take care of this problem earlier, but I've been a little too busy and probably a bit neglectful of my mane..." replied Avien as he pressed his fingers to his forehead, actually legitimately embarrassed that he let his hair get this bad. It was even worse that the boy working there was a cutie. Such a crime to be seen like this! "My hair is a complete disaster... split ends of shame and my roots..." he shook his head peering over at the boy. "Maybe I'm being a little overly dramatic, but I need a cut and color..." he looked down at his nails that were kind of chipped up from having moved all those boxes, "And maybe I should do something about those too... I've been away from a salon too long..." The way he spoke, if his voice was higher would have sounded really really gay, but since his voice was lower, it automatically brought it down a level.
Of course, Avien was completely flaming, not interesting in girls at all... But still, there was always something more masculine, naturally about him, even though he was generally as well kept as a girl. You really are a wreck today aren't you? He didn't care if he had to wait around to get this done, but he couldn't really deal with looking like he did too much longer. It was a crime against his general attractive nature, with his smooth face and stunning blue eyes. Hell, if he went all natural he'd still be stunning, but he liked his extra bit of BAM in his hair color, which is why he opted for highlights and red-lights always. ~Or else my purpose is unclear~

----------------------------------✪★✩Ⓚade✩★✪ ☆═━┈---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------┈━═☆ Maybe Kade was being too presumptuous, but, if anyone had a good gaydar going, it was him. Hey, he picked out Yoakim as leaning towards guys at least a little when the man acted nothing but tall, dark, and totally hetero! ..Fat lot of good that did him. Oh, shoo away bitter thoughts! He wasn't here! He was long gone and Kade could just relax into his new lifestyle! Hopefully. Unfortunately, his 'new lifestyle' didn't involve getting with another guy. So, Kade was left with only giving a small giggle at the man's admittance to his total lack of haircare. He pointed over at Jan, who was still sitting in his chair and watching a random football game like Kade had left him doing just moments ago.
“Don't worry, you can't be as bad as him.” He lowered his tone so Jan wouldn't overhear, “I'm afraid of catching something touching that! But, part of the job.” He shrugged and gave the other another once over. Cute~! If only he wasn't, um, straight. Yeah. Or just getting over a break up. He'd learn from enough Lifetime specials and girl talks that jumping into a relationship on the rebound was a bad idea. Theresa would kill him if he even dared! “So, trim, color, and you should really get those nails done.” He commented with a glance down at his hands. He hadn't done nails in awhile, so of course it would be fun~!
He returned his baby blues to the man and smiled again, perky as a cheerleader on twenty-six pixie sticks. “I'm with someone right now and I don't know if the other stylists are in, so, you may be in for a bit of a wait if you choose to be a walk in. You can make an appointment now and come back at a later date or do whatever you want, ho-.. du-..” Oh, shoot! Now he didn't know what to call him! Honey was out and Jan had made it clear that 'dude' wasn't in right then, so.. The only thing he could think of saying left was.. “..um, mister.” ..Yep. Kade felt like an idiot, but it was all he had left.☆═━┈-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------┈━═☆

~I need you to need me~~Avien Rothenburger~
Avien couldn't help but chuckle a little bit at the boy. The way he referred to the other guy over in the chair, seeming genuinely horrified by the prospects of touching that messy mop of hair, and checking him out when he thought he wasn't looking. Yeah, moving to this island was a great idea... There was no doubt about it now. He smirked and shook his head a little bit, "Oh, I can stick around for a while... I don't really have much in the way of other plans until I get myself suitable for public sight again..." His blue eyes wondered over the boy for a moment, dubbing him definitely ideal, "Oh, and my name's Avien, by the way... so you don't have to have anymore awkward fumbles from not knowing that..." Even though it was really cute when this stylist got flustered.
He was glad that he found this salon, that the stylist spoke his language of hair and nail care, and further more, that at some point he was going to be presentable again. ~Oh yes, he'd feel like a bran new man once his hair was all silky again and his nails clean and clear-coated. He really did love going out to salons. It was like his little get-away to spoil himself. And really, he did spoil himself, indulging in red colors... They always rinsed out, so he had to take really good care of it. As a matter of fact, the fact that his hair was still so vibrantly red was the only thing that proved he wasn't an unloved child that didn't know anything about taking care of himself. ~Or else my purpose is unclear~

"Are you ******** talking about me?" Jan said he had zoned out watching the game. Hey it was sports he didnt care. "What-? Whose.. is he your gay friend?" Jan made a wtf face. God dammit he was surrounded by them! "Whatever. Lets get this over with Kade who isnt gay." Jan snorted and laughed. "Then you can have fun with your ******** girlfriend all you want." Jan said as he pointed to Avien. He had to admit though, he was a bit jealous. These guys.. with the way they looked they could have any ******** chick they wanted! "Stealing all the bitches..." Jan commented to himself in a disgruntled frown.
"I mean how the ******** do you two do it?" Jan said continuing on his own thought and conversation in his head. "How can you ******** look like that? And not get all the bitches in the world? What do you ******** do? Huh? Whats the damn ******** secret?" Jan asked Avien more than Kade. Of course maybe if Kade was a bit more refined, stopped swearing and had a makeover he'd get a date or two.

----------------------------------✪★✩Ⓚade✩★✪ ☆═━┈---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------┈━═☆ Kade laughed, happy to hear the guy was involved in his appearance. Hey, better than some people he knew! Much better. Eleanor never seemed to care how she looked, so long as it was 'decent', by her standards, and he had to force most of his other friends to do that too! Unless they were working at the salon, but that's really a given.. Not that Ellie was his friend anymore, but, um, shoot! He needed to stop thinking about that stuff! Stay in the moment, Kade! He took a breath and gave a hopeless shrug at Avien's comment on his fumbling. “I'm Kade. That's Jan.” He added as he noticed Jan speaking up with a frown. May as well introduce the whole salon. “There's normally two other girls here, Nadia and Fleurette, but I think they're taking a break or something. I haven't checked the calender yet.” It could be their day off, too. Kade had been scheduling it so he could work alone on some days, considering it was normally pretty slow here and he was starting to enjoy some solace.
Once that was all said, his attention went to Jan who was making his presence known in a way that made Kade cringe. He really did hate those obscenities, but he wasn't going to ask him to filter it. Not unless junior was here, at least. He disliked the almost sarcastic way Jan stated his self-proclaimed sexuality and was about to snap at him for it, when he switched his message to something more pleasing. He got all the girls? Well, he said bitches, but Kade couldn't dare to think that of ladies. Still, the point stood. Jan just called him popular with the ladies! He didn't know girls thought he was cute~! Here Kade had thought he was going to have to ask Jan for advice on how to get girls, too~! He didn't expect the opposite to happen! His ego inflated enough for him to blush and giggle bashfully.
“Well, if you want to know how.. we do it,” He paused and held a finger to his lips thoughtfully, creasing his brow as he went over the several differences between him and Jan. ..Uh, well.. “You need to take better care of yourself. Seriously, no girl wants to get with a guy who can't cover basic hygiene! It's, like.. If the guy doesn't care about himself, what makes her think he would care about her.” Saying that had Kade stopping to wonder just why in the heck he had overlooked Yoakim's tendencies. Then he had to wonder why he didn't have girls clawing at his pants for him to get with them! He had to be drunk last time and he didn't even remember how that went.

~I need you to need me~~Avien Rothenburger~
"Nice to meet you Kade," he smiled softly at the boy with his features, his dazzling blue eyes lingering on him for a moment longer than they probably should have. Avien couldn't really help it. This little stylist was just too cute. Or at least he was little in Avien's standards since he was generally Mr. Tall Dark and Handsome before he started getting red and blonds put in his chocolate colored hair. Then again, it was also cute to see how he cringed at what Jan said to him. It was kind of funny, but now the tall man with bad roots was wondering, Wait, don't tell me this kid is trying to be straight? The though was baffling, since the angry sounding unkempt man in the chair brought it up. It was so outwardly obvious that Kade was gay, just by the way he looked, talked and moved. That was actually something that kind of attracted Avien. Guys that weren't afraid to admit they're gay are always better than ones still in the closet. He'd learned that the hard way... repeatedly... Okay, maybe he didn't learn a thing as he always seemed to fall for them anyways. The heart wants what it wants, that's all Avien could say for himself in regards to all the partners he'd had in the past.
I wonder what happened that's made him insecure in his sexuality like that... maybe a bad break up? Eh, I better not ask about that since I'm still pretty much a stranger... but still my heart goes out to you little hairdresser... If you need a hug just let me know... He though about saying the last bit out loud, but decided that would probably be a bit forward, and he didn't want to scare him away.
That was something that Avien always had an problem with. He was always told he was too clingy and lovey... Of course, when he loved someone, he really meant it, and fell hard in love, but that kind of killed him in the ends of relationships, as he'd still love them even after they broke up. At least he kept a lot of really close friends that had a shoulder to cry on? Yeah, no... they would cry on his shoulder from time to time, and he ended up filling the position of a big brother to everyone, not just Clark anymore. It really sucked how he got himself into those kinds of situations, but at least he knew he was still needed in a sense... kind of... sort of... but not really. There was a difference between being needing and being used...
After hearing Kabe's comment about hygiene he nodded, "True enough... you can't attract anything but flies if you don't take good care of yourself... After all, everyone wants someone that's going to care for them and take care of their needs, right?" He'd been a therapist to too many girls during his high school years, having to tell them that it's not their fault their douchebag boyfriends broke up with then and that it just wasn't to be. For a relationship to work out, both parties had to care for one another, and fill the needs each person had in the relationship. This was one of the reason though, that most people didn't stick with Avien too long. He overcompensated, caring too much, and wanting to make everything better, that in the end, they couldn't give anything back to him and felt smothered.
After his comment to Jan, he looked back to Kabe again, Where should I sit to wait? It would be kind of awkward sitting all the way out in the very front of the building in a chair by his lonesome, waiting, while the others were back there talking. He was a social butterfly and needed to have people around. Heck, that's why he left the house. Clark wasn't exactly the type of person you could talk to... He only wanted to sit around and play his games and eat junk... It was a miracle the man didn't way a thousand pounds by now... God bless high metabolisms? That's what Avien was going to chock it up to... ~Or else my purpose is unclear~

That had Jans attention. He looked at the two with narrowed eyes before letting up. "Go on..." Jan stated, curious now. After all he was alot of show and no action. Insecurity reared its ugly head with him frequently. So he put up the a*****e front. The only way he knew how to be. Especially with his upbringing. Non-existant father pretty much. Mother was into drugs.
"Cause it cant ******** be as simple as ******** that." Jan said to Kade though his tone was softer he was still swearing up a storm. "Besides i shower.. " Jan paused.. no wait when was the last time. He remembered Integra trying to drown him recently saying something about him stinking. That was yest- crap. Okay maybe he could be a bit more.. attentative about his hygiene.
" So go on what else do you gays got for me?" Jan said as he stopped paying attention to the college football game on the TV and looked to Avien and Kade.

----------------------------------✪★✩Ⓚade✩★✪ ☆═━┈---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------┈━═☆ Was that poetry? Kade raised both brows slightly in surprise when the man spoke along with him. Not that Yoakim never took care of Kade, he did when he could, and that meant when he wasn't busy with Eleanor. He would hate himself for always going back to that topic, but it was still too fresh for him to just drop it. Everyone got compared to Yoakim now that he looked at them, one of the bigger reasons he should be avoiding guys and situations in which sexy, clean, and tall men in need of a manicure walked into the salon, feigning to be Mr. Perfect. All that concluded from just a few minutes chatting with Avien – poor guy didn't stand much of a chance as it was now. Oh, well, Kade was at least giving him his work face! He glanced at the waiting area and felt the urge to laugh at how blind the guy must be to not see all the chairs and magazines. Yoakim would have just headed straight there, but, then, Yoakim never did come to the salon, not unless Kade was borrowing a small child and forgot to bring it back. Yep, that's a story for another time.
“There's magazines and stuff over there.” He motioned to where a few comfy chairs, ranging from cotton-candy pink to a pale blue, were situated. The magazines were all as close to 'new' as Kade could manage all the way out in the island like he was. Shipping costs started to get to him, after all, but none of them were more than a month or two old. Better than the General Store could manage. But, then, the store was burned down, so it wasn't much competition anymore. “Or you can take any of the chairs next to Jan if you want to chat. Do you want a wine cooler..? I have some in the back.” He added as he remembered getting Jan one in his excitement earlier. It would look rude if Jan and him were the only ones drinking, after all!
Before Avien could reply, he started to the slightly ajar door in the back of the styling section, talking over his shoulder in response to Jan, “It is as simple as that, Jan.” Sounding a bit snappish? Maybe. But, Jan had reverted back to calling him 'gay' and, honestly, with how many times he's had to tell the man, he should have a right to be miffed. “Get a job, can't be with a guy who won't support himself, your own place, since rooming makes you seem like an unstable college kid..” He drifted off when he was in the back officially, not wanting to shout since that just made negative vibes all over the place! Now, to get to the mini fridge~!

~I need you to need me~~Avien Rothenburger~
Yes, Avien was more than aware of the waiting area at the front of the building. He did not want to be exiled there and out of the conversation, since Jan seemed to need a lot of help from the flamboyant duo. He had waited for Kade's response to everything before even reacting in the least. It was rude to just shout over to someone you just met, especially when there was a cute, perky little hair dresser right there for you to smile at! Yeah, it was official that Avien was attracted to the boy. He couldn't help it, he was such a breath of fresh air, even though he did seem a bit troubled behind his professionalism. I'm willing to bet a bad break up if he's trying to be straight... I'll sit back and wait for you little cutie... maybe some day...
The man tended to get a little carried away in his head, thinking about potential love interests and all. He believed in love at first sight, or at least strong attraction... "I think I'll join you back there... I don't like being antisocial... It's one of the things I really love about coming to a salon, the atmosphere," he wasn't lying, or trying real hard to flatter the owner. It was his honest way he felt about going to salons. Every single one that he'd gone to consistently, he knew the staff, and was pretty much their counselor, and them his when he needed it. Not that he ever really talked about heartbreak in regards to himself. He was one of those people that still hung on for dear life to their exes as friends. It was a troubling pattern to live out really.
"Sure, I love wine coolers," he replied going in the general direction of where Jan was, but not getting all that close. The man was a bit disturbing to the eye, not that Avien was extremely shallow, but he also swore a lot, and seemed to be really offensive. Maybe that was just his personality? That was probably it. Listening to Kade continue on with the ways he could become more attractive to women. "Yes, being able to support yourself financially is generally important. People also do judge on what surrounds you. If you work as a bagger at a grocery store making minimum wage and live in somewhat less than pleasant conditions, it's generally held against you. Clean is always a good thing." He paused after following up Kade's words with that and watched the boy for a moment again before peering back over at Jan.
"Softer kinder words are also generally more attractive as well," Avien always spoke in soft, but attention grabbing tones. He was just a good speaker, and smooth talker. Or at least he liked to believe that.He also believe in honesty being the best policy. He generally didn't lie, and if he did, it was for a damn good reason. He didn't like dishonesty. If he was going to say it, he was going to say it with real meaning, not just hurtful falsities. "No one really falls hard for someone that speaks so harshly to them..." was his concluding statement on that idea.
He did hope that this man didn't take all of this too harshly and get mad. After all, they'd just met, and he didn't want to seem like he was a snobby know-it-all jerk, but at the same rate, he liked helping people. Whether it was helping Clark get to a new level in his game, helping and ex get over a rough break up, or even helping someone better themselves, he liked to help where he could. That was why he was so glad that he was opening a coffee shop here on the island. Coffee shops were such intimate feeling spaces, where everyone can relax over a nice hot beverage and chat about this and that. Oh, it would be so nice when it opened up! ~Or else my purpose is unclear~

"Well ******** is that how that fuc-" Jan retorted angrily to the two before he stopped himself. No.. no what they said made sense. Jan bit his lip and went silent for a good while. "And yeah i am ******** only 18 man. What do you want from me? Parents were ******** too." Jan added without going into detail. "Eh ill let it sink in. But go ahead get to cutting, washing.. whatever your going to do." Jan said with a wave of his hand. He couldnt very well change overnight. But he had to admit they had a point. Those ******** Tepes twins seem to always get the girls. Well mainly that Vladimir. He was always clean, well groomed, suave.

----------------------------------✪★✩Ⓚade✩★✪ ☆═━┈---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------┈━═☆ A few moments later and Kade came back with another in his hand – raspberry, just like the other two were. It was more fair like that, at least, and Kade only had cherry and raspberry stocked back there. No way was he letting anyone but him touch the cherry coolers – those were his and his alone! He used to share one or two with Fleurette, but, now? Oh, no, sugars, they were going to stay labeled 'Kade' until he drank them or else someone would have to pay. He headed back towards the pair, noting that Avien was going with his word and hanging out with them. Considering how obviously gay he was, Kade was pretty sure this wasn't helping Jan's view on him very much.. But, then, who was he to tell someone 'no' just because they were gay? That would be so hypocritical! So was claiming to be straight after dating a guy for three years. Huh. Well, Kade brushed those thoughts aside, not wanting to think on any contradictions like those right then. He handed the cooler over to Avien with a smile and turned back to Jan.
What were they talking about..? Kade looked between them to try and see if they were still on the same topic as before, but all he got was a demand to start the hair rescue! He nodded and chirped, “Okay! Let's get, um, washing done first. To the sinks!” He gently pulled Jan out of the chair and started to guide him over to where the washing was done, pausing to let Avien follow. Of course, he didn't take as long to decide on where to begin when he had another customer behind him and washing was pretty basic. Especially when he recalled Jan's 'admittance' on his lack hygiene. Kade tied the pastel purple cape around Jan's neck before he sat him down, just so he didn't get any water on his clothes. Even if they probably needed it.. He crinkled his nose while he wet his hair down, looking at the greasy locks with disdain. Ah, the abomination of hairstylists, gifted to Kade today along with a 'prince'. He wondered just what he did or – oooh. He got it now. He stared at Avien for a moment, suspiciously. But, he dropped it in favor of washing Jan's hair, turning back to the man.
“Oh, God, Jan, have you.. What brand do you use?” It felt like touching hay! Seriously, even a bar of soap couldn't be this bad of a result! Like.. like he was touching hay that had cooking oil spilled all over it.. He shivered – this was worse than grooming dogs!

"I dont know.. a ******** bottle. I dont pay attention i just ******** grab s**t." Jan frowned and made a face at Kade. "Hey it was either this or ******** Keith raping you in the a**. Im doing you a favor remember?" Jan rolled his eyes. Of course he closed them when the soap came. He squirmed slightly not liking people touching him really. Unless it was for sex and no ******** way was he into guys. Danielle aside.. ******** deadly a** drag queen. Too good at that s**t.
"Besides.. if you do a job ******** job maybe ill let my friends know and youll be in for a few ******** customers." Jan chuckled lightly. Eh he'd tell them anyways. The gay guy did seem to know what he was doing. And he was nice.. which was off putting but hey.

~I need you to need me~~Avien Rothenburger~
Avien had been working in a starbucks cafe back in the city since he was sixteen, so there wasn't much nice he could say in regards to Jan's protest of age. He'd keep his mouth shut on this one and just let Kade keep the conversations afloat for the most part... well, when he got back from fetching he wine cooler. The older man's eyes followed the boy carefully as he moved, hoping not to get caught sneaking a peek at him. He was really cute, and the man couldn't stop thinking that as long as he peered over at him. Before he came back though, he peered back at Jan, who was still being a bit snarky.
Yeah, a shampoo job would be the safest bet for Kade's fingers to survive touching that mop of, could you even call that hair anymore? "Thanks" he said with a smile as the took the cooler from the boy, fingers lightly meeting as they did. It seemed like a dramatic moment, touching at all in the back of Avien's mind, but he knew better than to act on anything that part of his brain could come up with. That part of his brain was the hopeless romantic, or the majority part of his brain.
He followed the two over to the shampoo bowl, happy that he wasn't alone or anything like that. He couldn't help but smirk a little at the face Kade made when he touched the hair. He figured it was bad just from looking at it, but it had to be even worse than it looked if it caught the adorable stylist off guard. "So how long have you been working in a salon?" not just this salon, but any salon... He was curious. He hoped that the man getting his hair washed didn't get angry for him butting in, and asking about it. Most guys that worked in salons for a long time were really great for chatting... He'd dated one once, and it was going pretty well until he moved away. The kitten didn't do long distance relationships, and it wasn't like Avien to hold anyone back from their dreams of moving to Europe. ~Or else my purpose is unclear~

----------------------------------✪★✩Ⓚade✩★✪ ☆═━┈---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------┈━═☆ A bottle? Oh, he really hoped he wasn't using dish soap! That would.. No, wait, his hair was too dark for that mistake. Then again, why was he even bothering to figure this mystery out? He could be using ketchup for all Kade knew! He did smell funny, but he would guess that was because of the general hatred of showers that Jan apparently had. He only continued to scrub with a soft sigh in disappointment at how careless some people could be. ..Until Keith was mentioned. At that point, Kade's expression dropped into one of anger and he stopped his scrubbing for a second in thought. Oh, of course, he had to mention that a*****e. He probably wouldn't dislike the teenager so much if he wasn't such a.. such a.. LeBlanc. He humphed and continued his work without a comment on what Jan said, giving him a cold shoulder for making him think such hateful thoughts. Did he really have to bring Keith up?! Kade was having enough trouble not thinking about Yoakim as it was, he didn't need his brother in his head now too!
Kade could only be thankful when Avien directed the topic elsewhere and, even if the man didn't understand what recovery he had done, he still gave him a grateful look. “Mm? Oh, um.. I've been managing this salon for.. Three years?” Wasn't it that long..? Three seemed kind of small considering everything that had happened. But, there was their anniversary, so, he guessed it was three years at the least. He nodded, “Yep, three years on the island. I worked in a bigger one in Los Angeles before for a few months after beauty school before getting transferred out here. Before that, I swept at local barbershop during middle school.. Um, I don't know if that counts, though.” For one, barbershops were like the bane of Kade's existence. He almost cringed right there remember how simple and boring the haircuts he saw being done there were. Plus, the sound of those electric shavers just gave him chills. He stopped for a moment again, but this time was just to add up the years. It wasn't really that impressive, now that he thought about it. It was just by a stroke of luck he ended up managing any salon, even out in the middle of nowhere like he was!
He decided not to tell Avien the exact number, since it was still essentially three years, and went on to shampoo Jan's hair – oh, thank god for that. He was almost afraid his hands would end up slimy or something if he had to keep touching him like that! But, now started the real work of scrubbing. “What about you, Avien? Any work yet?” He already assumed the man had only recently moved in. He was too new of a face for Kade not to draw that conclusion, so the next one would be a question on whether it was for work or just to go some place new. Avien did seem young, so it wouldn't be a surprise if he only came out to get out of the house and find cheap housing.
