Aydan: lol 7:36
Aydan stared at him. Because of them? He glanced between the pair with curiousity. Why would he think that? Sure he was jealous, rightly so, given his history with the woman, but it wasn't anything overly horrible. He wouldn't destroy his music for the sole reason that someone else got his girl. There had to be more to it, but Kelly seemed so adverse to talking about, and Elise seemed to be stunned into silence at the moment, he decided to let it go. What was done was done, even if he couldn't remember it being so. "That's okay, Kelly. At least you managed to save some of it from my stupidity," he said without any hint of ire, ignoring the doctor's orders and working to sit himself more upright with a soft groan. Ugh. This had better heal fast, was all he had to say about it. "You saved some of it, so thanks. I appreciate it" 7:41

Elise watched in absolute stunned silence as the conversation between both brothers traveled where she didn't want it to go. Aydan asked about the destroyed music, and Kelly had been honest. Honest enough to tell him that it was he who'd destroyed most of it. Aside from the bit that Kelly had saved. Elise swallowed the lump in her throat as Aydan thanked Kelly for saving it. She shifted from foot to foot and considered taking her hand from Kelly's, though she didn't want to let herself. This was good. She needed him, and Aydan needed to see them. Like this. As a couple. Elise sighed silently and gave a weak smile, unsure of what else to say. "At least you're out of the hospital." She added. "Is your head feeling better?" 17:59

Kelly was still regretting the fact that he could've saved more. When his brother had made an effort to thank him, and in watching him do so the older brother didn't know what to say. That's when Elise spoke up. She had been silent for most of the exchange, though that was probably out of discomfort. His hand shifted again over hers, after seeing his brother's own obvious discomfort. He could feel his heart sinking, but bit back the uncomfortable notions. "If there's anything you need just let us know." he offered. "And if you'd rather be in another room I can assist you too. I can get the sheets for you now if you'd like." he was more than ready to make amends. 20:56
Aydan: as I said, just when you get the chance. ^.^ 20:56
Elise nodded as Kelly spoke, holding fast to her fiance's hand. It was better like this. This was how it was meant to be. After all, it was Kelly's and Aydan's and her own parents who had put them up to this. It had to be approached sooner or later. She felt better answering Aydan's questions when Kelly was there with her. Less likely to run away at the first sign of discomfort again. "Did... did you have any questions?" 21:02
Mal changed name to Stiles 21:05
Stiles: >u> 21:05
Elise: oooooooooooooo 21:05
Kelly: OH MAN 21:05
Kelly: I left Gg in th elobby 21:05
Aydan: o.o stiles! 21:07
Aydan: lol 21:07
Aydan They were eager to leave, to run away, though why he wasn't sure. He could see that in the way they held themselves, presenting them to him. So why had they even sought him out? "I'll be fine. The music can wait. Can't hold a guitar at the moment anyways," he said, his clippant attitude resurfacing a little when he realized all this. "And no. No questions. You two run along now. I can tell you have someplace you'd rather be." 21:11
Stiles pulled up in front of the grand house and parked in the drive. So, this was the infamous Hirose home, he thought to himself as he took in the elegant facade and sprawling grounds. Malcolm had mentioned his childhood home a few times over the years, but this was the first time he had seen it in person. After Mal's little brother had preformed at his party he couldn't deny that he had been interested in signing him, but he hadn't had a chance to ask Mal if that was something Aydan would be interested in, so when Mal and Clara had approached him about talking to him he had been happy to oblige. Granted, driving miles out of the city to woo a potential client wasn't in his usual job description, but these were... special circumstances. It was Mal's little brother, and, well, although Mal hadn't said anything and Stiles knew next to nothing of the details, he knew that his friend was rather torn up over the circumstances that had lead to his younger brothers current state. Besides, it didn't hurt to go back to the basics once and a while and get involved on the front lines again. He stepped up to the front door and knocked heavily on it. 21:16
Kelly: POWERPUFF GIRL COLOURS 21:16
Stiles: LOL 21:17
Elise: BLOSSOM! 21:17
Stiles: Aydan is Bubbles XD 21:17
Stiles: Ohmygoshlol 21:17
Aydan: o.o omg 21:17
Aydan: lol 21:17
Kelly had been more than eager to take on responsibility of some kind now with the concerns of Aydan. But it seemed like his approach had fallen by the wayside and that perhaps the couples shared strength had been taken too much into account. He had a point though, that the music could wait. Where holding an guitar at was not in his best interests, perhaps revisiting grand memories of love lost wouldn't be much better. "Alright." he said looking a bit crestfallen. "Be sure ot let us know." he repeated. "We'll be around." 21:27
Georgia joined the chat 21:33
Georgia had been still been taken in by the surroundings. The fact that there were stair cases and corridors right off the bat did not help by ways of showing her where to go. The maid that had let her in had said that she would be back, after she'd dealt with some things, leaving the woman there int he lobby all by her lonesome, for at least a while. From behind her came a knock a the door. Inquisitively the brunette around, as if waiting for a sing, or more appropriately someone else to come and answer the it. For a few moments no one came, she wasn't even sure if the person outside was still outside. Maybe they still got salesmen and missionaries or even cookie selling squirts even at a place like this? Maybe they could a take hint then. She waited with baited breath. 21:34
Georgia: note to self, wrong 'bated' 21:34
Elise looked from Aydan to Kelly as the moment for questions drew to a close. He didn't want to know anything. Whether it was out of jealousy, or something else, Elise didn't know. She still felt awful, but Aydan was doing his best to get past it, and she knew that she should let him. Elise wouldn't push. Not now, anyway. "Okay." She added softly, giving him a soft, sad smile. 21:35
Elise: hahah 21:35
Elise: fish breat 21:35
Elise: h 21:35
Aydan felt the pricks of frustration at the corners of his eyes, listening to them give in to his dismissal so easily. He closed his eyes and sighed, dropping his head so his expression could not be easily seen. "I will. Thanks. See you around." he said quickly, pain lancing through his voice. He was jealous, and he was hurt that they would do this. They wanted to go. he could tell. So why should he ask them to stay? Hell. why did he even take visitors. Maybe he was better off in his bed... "See you later." 21:37
Stiles stood there for a few moments before he started to worry. Mal said that they would be home... and even if they weren't, didn't he say that they had staff here? (Who had household staff these days? He had a nine figure income and he didn't even have any full time staff.) Feeling more awkward than he could remember feeling in years, he knocked again. 21:38
Elise: qUICK SOMEONE ANSWER THE DOOR 21:41
Elise: FOR THE LOVE OF GOD ANSWER THE DOOR 21:41
Georgia: LOL 21:42
Kelly stood amidst of a strange awkward silence. Where tehy hadsaid their goodbyes but hadn't left yet. Though it made sense that that ones who should leave would be the ones with working legs to do so. His eyes fell glumly down for a moment, knowing that this would be their timely exit. "I just want to say I'm sorry... again." he apologized yet another time, for things that were left unspoken between the three of them. Before he could get an answer the awkward tension had already been enough for the eldest one to handle. Taking his fiancee's hand, he turned to finally leave. 21:45
Georgia staff shows up, nope 21:52
Georgia asked Chatzy to choose between staff shows up and nope. Chatzy chose: staff shows up 21:52
Elise felt Kelly's hand close around hers after he apologized to Aydan yet again. There were so many things she had to apologize for, but Elise knew they'd fall on deaf ears. Stubborn. Aydan always had been stubborn. Refusing to give up on his dreams of being a star. His dreams of ending up with her. She took a deep breath and pushed it out, already starting to feel the guilt starting to titillate her attention. Before long, she'd be sucked into the nether of despair again, if she didn't distract herself. She turned away with Kelly, walking with him toward the kitchen, very much in need of a drink and a quiet place to sit. She walked along with Kelly in complete silence until she came to the room she'd been aiming for, and filled the kettle up with water promptly, taking out a mug for Kelly and a teacup for herself. Five minutes later, her tea was ready - and although she preferred cool, sweet tea, this was good enough - and so was Kelly's coffee. She sat down in silence, unsure of what to say.. if anything at all. "I.. didn't think he'd take it so well..." she admitted, finally. 21:54
Georgia asked Chatzy to choose between recognize and nope. Chatzy chose: recognize 21:56
Georgia exhaled slowly. There it was again. Another knock. Whoever it was behind the door, they were still there. Meanwhile on this side of the heavy double barricade no one else was coming. Apart from, well her, who was already there. But she wasn't technically a member of the household yet, what if she misrepresented them? More rather, why was she so worried about misrepresenting strangers that she had basically sold her own hand to? They were people that probably though very highly of themselves. She could do that. Shaking her head as f trying to into a zone, the short haired brunette psyched herself up and motioned for the door. To be stopped by a familiar maid. Her and maid exchanged glances, to which they mentally bickered and settled that it was the servants job to answer the door, after all she had heard it from the other room too. And so, the door came to open, revealing a snappily dressed man on the side. This person, now this person, the on call caterer remembered. Her eyed were wide with surprise. Man, this household really had to be up there. 21:57
Kelly: rainbow text~ 21:59
Aydan: why is it soooo hard... TT.TT He's not that bad a kid.... TT.TT 22:01
Georgia: it's pov X'p? 22:02
Aydan couldn't help it. As soon as the door fell closed behind the pair, Aydan let out a cry and pitched the book he was reading after them. This was ridiculous! It wasn't fair! He was so jealous of those two, no matter what face he put on. Why did the suit get what he wanted? Why did it have to be Kelly?! And did they show up only to flaunt it? Maybe if that's what they had been doing since the announcemne.t... yeah. he could see himself giving up and taking the most drastic way out available. If that had been the case at all. He sank back onto the couch with a sigh, closing his eyes as he put his hands over his face, struggling to control the emotions that had wanted to erupt from him. Jealousy and pain. That's what he was feeling. Mostly the former. Damn it. He had wanted to end up either Elise. Or if not her, then someone, so he wouldn't have to watch her.... 22:05
Stiles asked Chatzy to choose between recognize, vaguely, nope and lol yeah no. Chatzy chose: nope 22:05
Kelly: Ahh dinner brb X'P 22:12
Aydan: maymays going to head to bed now. sorreh. 22:19

Georgia: Ahh, Good night Maymay! Sleep well~ and no worries 22:35
Stiles: Night~ 22:37
Elise was timed out 22:54
Kelly led out away form the from the room of literature to be found seated quite solemnly in the kitchen, nursing a fresh cup of coffee between his hands. "Neither did I." he voiced. The aydan they had spoken to just now was much more understanding than his previous more irrational self. Though that looked to be the case Kelly was still unsure of how he should take it. If anything it only made him worse about what he had done. He just starred at his reflection in his dark coffee. "Cream." he uttered, before sliding off from his seat. He needed a distraction, and something to take out some of the bitterness he had in his cup. 22:58
Elise joined the chat 23:06
Elise blew the steam off her cup, waiting for it to cool a bit before taking a sip. She didn't know what to do. Her fiance was stuck in the same rut she was. She just nodded when Kelly slid off his seat to fetch some cream to put in his coffee. Her hands wrapped around the dainty teacup, and she took a deep breath. "This should be easy." She murmured. But it wasn't. It was anything but easy. "Do you think we can move on from this?" She murmured quietly, asking the question that was pressing down on her chest. 23:11

Kelly fetched the cream from the refrigerator and poured himself a healthy amount. "I don't know."he blurted truthfully before turning to place the container back into the fridge. He sat back down and stirred his drink slowly with a teaspoon, looking rather contemplative. "I don't want to stop trying." he finally said gazing up at the face of the woman he wanted to marry. "But until Aydan gets better..." he closed his eyes knowingly. It would've been a suggestion that was wrought with much pain and consideration, and he had left it unfinished. 0:11
Aydan was timed out 0:20
Elise knew the answer before he'd even spoken it. Not until Aydan got better. Elise couldn't help the overwhelming depression that threatened to crash down on her like a tsunami. "Maybe we should.." she began, casting the first stone so he didn't have to. "Spend some time.. apart." She added, voice hushed and a husk of what it used to be, all emotion drained out of it as Elise detached completely. She sat there, holding her teacup stiffly. 0:22
Kelly was timed out 1:12
Stiles was timed out 1:18
Kelly joined the chat 1:24
Kelly had not wanted to be the one bring such a thing up. No, especially since thye had only been reunited earlier that day. She had understood what he had meant, and so it was liekly that she had conceived of the same thing on her own accord, even before. He knew it was a tough choice to make but it was the perhaps the most sensible. They couldn't move forward simply by turning a blind eye to the issues at hand. They needed time, time apart to come to terms with it. More than anything he had worried about how she would take it. Not well it seemed. She sat frozen, stiff, and hollowed like a tree. Surely he couldn't leave her that state. But what could he do? He wasn't sure he had it in him. So he'd search elsewhere for the answers. What did his heart want him to do? It compelled him to be by her side of course, and he did. He sat beside her, looking down at the table at first as he rested a reassuring hand on her forearm. "It'll be ok." he had said the same thing to her countless times before, but never in those times before had he wanted her to take solace from those words, more than now. "I'm not going anywhere. I'll always be here if ever you need me." he turned to face her then, even if her eyes could not be met with his. "I'll wait." he vowed, against the strains of his own hearts desire.
Kelly was still regretting the fact that he could've saved more. When his brother had made an effort to thank him, and in watching him do so the older brother didn't know what to say. That's when Elise spoke up. She had been silent for most of the exchange, though that was probably out of discomfort.

Kelly: I left Gg in th elobby 21:05
Aydan: o.o stiles! 21:07
Aydan: lol 21:07
Aydan They were eager to leave, to run away, though why he wasn't sure. He could see that in the way they held themselves, presenting them to him. So why had they even sought him out? "I'll be fine. The music can wait. Can't hold a guitar at the moment anyways," he said, his clippant attitude resurfacing a little when he realized all this. "And no. No questions. You two run along now. I can tell you have someplace you'd rather be." 21:11
Stiles pulled up in front of the grand house and parked in the drive. So, this was the infamous Hirose home, he thought to himself as he took in the elegant facade and sprawling grounds. Malcolm had mentioned his childhood home a few times over the years, but this was the first time he had seen it in person. After Mal's little brother had preformed at his party he couldn't deny that he had been interested in signing him, but he hadn't had a chance to ask Mal if that was something Aydan would be interested in, so when Mal and Clara had approached him about talking to him he had been happy to oblige. Granted, driving miles out of the city to woo a potential client wasn't in his usual job description, but these were... special circumstances. It was Mal's little brother, and, well, although Mal hadn't said anything and Stiles knew next to nothing of the details, he knew that his friend was rather torn up over the circumstances that had lead to his younger brothers current state. Besides, it didn't hurt to go back to the basics once and a while and get involved on the front lines again. He stepped up to the front door and knocked heavily on it. 21:16
Kelly: POWERPUFF GIRL COLOURS 21:16
Stiles: LOL 21:17
Elise: BLOSSOM! 21:17
Stiles: Aydan is Bubbles XD 21:17
Stiles: Ohmygoshlol 21:17
Aydan: o.o omg 21:17
Aydan: lol 21:17
Kelly had been more than eager to take on responsibility of some kind now with the concerns of Aydan. But it seemed like his approach had fallen by the wayside and that perhaps the couples shared strength had been taken too much into account. He had a point though, that the music could wait. Where holding an guitar at was not in his best interests, perhaps revisiting grand memories of love lost wouldn't be much better. "Alright." he said looking a bit crestfallen. "Be sure ot let us know." he repeated. "We'll be around." 21:27
Georgia joined the chat 21:33
Georgia had been still been taken in by the surroundings. The fact that there were stair cases and corridors right off the bat did not help by ways of showing her where to go. The maid that had let her in had said that she would be back, after she'd dealt with some things, leaving the woman there int he lobby all by her lonesome, for at least a while. From behind her came a knock a the door. Inquisitively the brunette around, as if waiting for a sing, or more appropriately someone else to come and answer the it. For a few moments no one came, she wasn't even sure if the person outside was still outside. Maybe they still got salesmen and missionaries or even cookie selling squirts even at a place like this? Maybe they could a take hint then. She waited with baited breath. 21:34
Georgia: note to self, wrong 'bated' 21:34
Elise looked from Aydan to Kelly as the moment for questions drew to a close. He didn't want to know anything. Whether it was out of jealousy, or something else, Elise didn't know. She still felt awful, but Aydan was doing his best to get past it, and she knew that she should let him. Elise wouldn't push. Not now, anyway. "Okay." She added softly, giving him a soft, sad smile. 21:35
Elise: hahah 21:35
Elise: fish breat 21:35
Elise: h 21:35
Aydan felt the pricks of frustration at the corners of his eyes, listening to them give in to his dismissal so easily. He closed his eyes and sighed, dropping his head so his expression could not be easily seen. "I will. Thanks. See you around." he said quickly, pain lancing through his voice. He was jealous, and he was hurt that they would do this. They wanted to go. he could tell. So why should he ask them to stay? Hell. why did he even take visitors. Maybe he was better off in his bed... "See you later." 21:37
Stiles stood there for a few moments before he started to worry. Mal said that they would be home... and even if they weren't, didn't he say that they had staff here? (Who had household staff these days? He had a nine figure income and he didn't even have any full time staff.) Feeling more awkward than he could remember feeling in years, he knocked again. 21:38
Elise: qUICK SOMEONE ANSWER THE DOOR 21:41
Elise: FOR THE LOVE OF GOD ANSWER THE DOOR 21:41
Georgia: LOL 21:42
Kelly stood amidst of a strange awkward silence. Where tehy hadsaid their goodbyes but hadn't left yet. Though it made sense that that ones who should leave would be the ones with working legs to do so. His eyes fell glumly down for a moment, knowing that this would be their timely exit. "I just want to say I'm sorry... again." he apologized yet another time, for things that were left unspoken between the three of them. Before he could get an answer the awkward tension had already been enough for the eldest one to handle. Taking his fiancee's hand, he turned to finally leave. 21:45
Georgia staff shows up, nope 21:52
Georgia asked Chatzy to choose between staff shows up and nope. Chatzy chose: staff shows up 21:52
Elise felt Kelly's hand close around hers after he apologized to Aydan yet again. There were so many things she had to apologize for, but Elise knew they'd fall on deaf ears. Stubborn. Aydan always had been stubborn. Refusing to give up on his dreams of being a star. His dreams of ending up with her. She took a deep breath and pushed it out, already starting to feel the guilt starting to titillate her attention. Before long, she'd be sucked into the nether of despair again, if she didn't distract herself. She turned away with Kelly, walking with him toward the kitchen, very much in need of a drink and a quiet place to sit. She walked along with Kelly in complete silence until she came to the room she'd been aiming for, and filled the kettle up with water promptly, taking out a mug for Kelly and a teacup for herself. Five minutes later, her tea was ready - and although she preferred cool, sweet tea, this was good enough - and so was Kelly's coffee. She sat down in silence, unsure of what to say.. if anything at all. "I.. didn't think he'd take it so well..." she admitted, finally. 21:54
Georgia asked Chatzy to choose between recognize and nope. Chatzy chose: recognize 21:56
Georgia exhaled slowly. There it was again. Another knock. Whoever it was behind the door, they were still there. Meanwhile on this side of the heavy double barricade no one else was coming. Apart from, well her, who was already there. But she wasn't technically a member of the household yet, what if she misrepresented them? More rather, why was she so worried about misrepresenting strangers that she had basically sold her own hand to? They were people that probably though very highly of themselves. She could do that. Shaking her head as f trying to into a zone, the short haired brunette psyched herself up and motioned for the door. To be stopped by a familiar maid. Her and maid exchanged glances, to which they mentally bickered and settled that it was the servants job to answer the door, after all she had heard it from the other room too. And so, the door came to open, revealing a snappily dressed man on the side. This person, now this person, the on call caterer remembered. Her eyed were wide with surprise. Man, this household really had to be up there. 21:57
Kelly: rainbow text~ 21:59
Aydan: why is it soooo hard... TT.TT He's not that bad a kid.... TT.TT 22:01
Georgia: it's pov X'p? 22:02
Aydan couldn't help it. As soon as the door fell closed behind the pair, Aydan let out a cry and pitched the book he was reading after them. This was ridiculous! It wasn't fair! He was so jealous of those two, no matter what face he put on. Why did the suit get what he wanted? Why did it have to be Kelly?! And did they show up only to flaunt it? Maybe if that's what they had been doing since the announcemne.t... yeah. he could see himself giving up and taking the most drastic way out available. If that had been the case at all. He sank back onto the couch with a sigh, closing his eyes as he put his hands over his face, struggling to control the emotions that had wanted to erupt from him. Jealousy and pain. That's what he was feeling. Mostly the former. Damn it. He had wanted to end up either Elise. Or if not her, then someone, so he wouldn't have to watch her.... 22:05
Stiles asked Chatzy to choose between recognize, vaguely, nope and lol yeah no. Chatzy chose: nope 22:05
Kelly: Ahh dinner brb X'P 22:12
Aydan: maymays going to head to bed now. sorreh. 22:19
Aydan: see you tomorrow -hugs all- 22:19
Georgia: Bacck~ 22:34
Georgia: Ahh, Good night Maymay! Sleep well~ and no worries 22:35
Stiles: Night~ 22:37
Elise was timed out 22:54
Kelly led out away form the from the room of literature to be found seated quite solemnly in the kitchen, nursing a fresh cup of coffee between his hands. "Neither did I." he voiced. The aydan they had spoken to just now was much more understanding than his previous more irrational self. Though that looked to be the case Kelly was still unsure of how he should take it. If anything it only made him worse about what he had done. He just starred at his reflection in his dark coffee. "Cream." he uttered, before sliding off from his seat. He needed a distraction, and something to take out some of the bitterness he had in his cup. 22:58
Elise joined the chat 23:06
Elise blew the steam off her cup, waiting for it to cool a bit before taking a sip. She didn't know what to do. Her fiance was stuck in the same rut she was. She just nodded when Kelly slid off his seat to fetch some cream to put in his coffee. Her hands wrapped around the dainty teacup, and she took a deep breath. "This should be easy." She murmured. But it wasn't. It was anything but easy. "Do you think we can move on from this?" She murmured quietly, asking the question that was pressing down on her chest. 23:11

Kelly fetched the cream from the refrigerator and poured himself a healthy amount. "I don't know."he blurted truthfully before turning to place the container back into the fridge. He sat back down and stirred his drink slowly with a teaspoon, looking rather contemplative. "I don't want to stop trying." he finally said gazing up at the face of the woman he wanted to marry. "But until Aydan gets better..." he closed his eyes knowingly. It would've been a suggestion that was wrought with much pain and consideration, and he had left it unfinished. 0:11
Aydan was timed out 0:20
Elise knew the answer before he'd even spoken it. Not until Aydan got better. Elise couldn't help the overwhelming depression that threatened to crash down on her like a tsunami. "Maybe we should.." she began, casting the first stone so he didn't have to. "Spend some time.. apart." She added, voice hushed and a husk of what it used to be, all emotion drained out of it as Elise detached completely. She sat there, holding her teacup stiffly. 0:22

Kelly had not wanted to be the one bring such a thing up. No, especially since thye had only been reunited earlier that day. She had understood what he had meant, and so it was liekly that she had conceived of the same thing on her own accord, even before. He knew it was a tough choice to make but it was the perhaps the most sensible. They couldn't move forward simply by turning a blind eye to the issues at hand. They needed time, time apart to come to terms with it. More than anything he had worried about how she would take it. Not well it seemed. She sat frozen, stiff, and hollowed like a tree. Surely he couldn't leave her that state. But what could he do? He wasn't sure he had it in him. So he'd search elsewhere for the answers. What did his heart want him to do? It compelled him to be by her side of course, and he did. He sat beside her, looking down at the table at first as he rested a reassuring hand on her forearm. "It'll be ok." he had said the same thing to her countless times before, but never in those times before had he wanted her to take solace from those words, more than now. "I'm not going anywhere. I'll always be here if ever you need me." he turned to face her then, even if her eyes could not be met with his. "I'll wait." he vowed, against the strains of his own hearts desire.
