Welcome to Gaia! ::

Christian grinned when she took his hand, watching her cheeks turn almost as bright as Blank's hair. Lilian smiled warmly and took Aki's hand confidently and shook it warmly, "It's very nice to meet you too, dear." She said with a bow of her head before turning smiling warmly at the two, "Come in, I was just making dinner." She exclaimed, glancing at Christian who's large form stood in the doorway. The man turned and proceeded into the house, followed by Blank's mother.

"You okay?" He asked Aki, lifting his bag from the ground pushing his thin glasses further up the bridge of his nose.

Blank grinned and gave her hand a squeeze, "It'll be okay. My oldman looks tough...but he's a teddy bear." He said with a lighthearted laugh and walked into the house. The door led into the living room, a hardwood floor stretched through the large room, a black rug thrown over with a couch and love seat forming half a rectangle with a small tv pressed against the wall on a dark wooded entertainment stand. A coffee table sat in place between the couches and tv with a set of flows and crystal figurines placed beautifully. On one wall; various pictures lined along each other; depicting Blank in his younger days and his parents in their youth before Blank.

He set his bag down beside the front door, and began to take his boots off, remembering the rules of his house fairly well. Christian followed his wife into the kitchen, his metal foot echoing along the hardwood floor below. Soft laughter broke into kitchen while Blank set his boots to the side, "Well...This is the living room, as you can see." He told Aki, looking over the familiar room which was dimly lighten with a few lights and the large window in the wall.

He followed behind her and looked over the many photographs along the wall with a smile. Blank's own gaze glanced through the room and gave a shrug, "It's alright, I guess." He said with a light laugh. Taking her hand, he pulled her along out of the room and into the hallway, a staircase led up to the top floor while a door on the end was shut closed, opposite to another, "That leads to the bathroom" He said, pointing down the hall to the door on the right, and then to the left, "And my room on the left." He informed her, smiling widely. The hallway seemed plain with just a simple rug stretching down the long floor.

An open door frame led to the kitchen across from the living room where Blank led Aki. The kitchen was small, but humble; a dark granite top held a metal sink as it stretched from one side of the wall, wooden cupboards hung over the sink, while an iron stove sat beside a steel plated fridge, a pot boiling over one of the flaming burners. Infront of the stove, Blank's parents stood, Christian's arms looping around Lilian's waist who rested the back of her head into his shoulder, the two laughing and giggling.

"And this is the...Ugh..." Blank said, as he looked at the display of his parents, bringing a hand to his forehead, "C'mon, guys. Son here." He said, looking over at Aki with a crooked grin and eye roll.

The older couple smiled before pulling apart, Christian walking over to the black dining table against the wall and took a seat in one of the chairs, "Yeah? That's good news then." The older man said with a wide grin as he picked up what looked like a beer can from the table, popping it open with a finger and taking a drink. Lilian turned to face Aki with a warm smile, "Thank you! Actually, Christian and Blank built most of it." She said proudly, looking over to his father and then to him.

Blank scratched the back of his head a moment before glancing over to Aki, "It turned out alright." He said, blushing lightly. It had been his first carpentry job, there were some spots he noticed that he didn't like. His father shook his head as he sipped at his beer.

He grinned slightly as his cheeks turned a slight shade of red, "Yeah, I took a couple weeks of vacation a couple years ago, and this guy put me to work when I came back home." Blank said, pointing his head to his father who couldn't help but laugh, "What else could I do? You're practically all skin and bone." Christian's gruff voice let out before taking another sip of his beer.

Blank couldn't help but have his mouth hang ajar, "I...I am not all skin and bone!" He cried, pointing to his own chest defensively while Lilian couldn't help but roll her eyes and smile at the two who began to bicker.

Feeling Aki's hand squeeze his, Blank smiled before shaking his head, "You wanna tour of the rest of the house?" He asked her, avoiding the bicker back and forth.

"That might be a good idea. Dinner won't be ready for a little bit." Lilian said, stirring what was in the pot. His father nodded, "Yep; there's not much else to do here since we sold all your stuff to Zoey down the street." He said with a wide grin, "Dad!" Blank called, a stunned look on his face when his mother turned and gave him a light whack in the arm with a grin on her face, "I'm just kiddin'! Geez." Christian said with a light laugh.

The crimson warrior let out a light sigh before turning to Aki, "I'll show you the rest of the place." He said with a crooked grin, happy to be back home obviously. He grabbed their bags by the front door and motioned for her to travel down the hall, "My rooms on the left; in the basement." He said, seeing as his hands were full with their stuff.

Blank grinned, "Ahhh... I just hammered in a few nails here and there, and threw some stones around." He said, trying to summarize must of his work within a sentence. Once they got to the door, he waited for her to open the door before taking the lead. Flicking a switch, he walked down the wood steps until he got to a large plain wooden door.

The crimson warrior pushed it open and walked into the room. The room was large, a queen sized bed with black sheets and pillows stretched across. The walls were painted a blooded red with various posters, pictures and a large banner with a band logo sprawled across it. A desk was located in the corner with a two guitars lining up beside it, various chords plugged into things that he couldn't even remember.

"Well..This is my room from like...ages ago." Blank said with a grin, setting their bags by his bed with a smile at the familiar sight.
