Hale looked up at the large house before him and sighed a little. Would Sojo entrap him again? He flushed red at the thought and shook his head to clear it; no, he would be more careful from now on, after all, he had only met Sojo three days ago.
Readjusting his dark olive green kimono that matched his eyes and checking to make sure his Dust Bottle was securely within the robes, he stepped up to the front door and knocked very softly and shyly. Frowning slightly, he made another knock, this one being on the audible level, though not much more than the first.

The dust wriggled free of the couch standing up and shaking a bit at the rush of the climb. He shook his head slightly and made his way to the front door. The knock the first time had been plenty audible, who ever was behind the door was quite rude. Looking back at Sojo who had looked up from his morning tea-making he frowned, and beckoned to answer the door he did so.
Unlocking the latches he opened the door looking at the guest. "How--" he started to speak before Sojo pushed him out of the way gently.
Sojo stood up from the counter as the door opened setting the various herbs back on the granite counter tops and walked up behind Hymn. As the door swung open he stood wide-eyed at the guest. Hale. Shaking his head for a double take he pushed Hymn out of the way rushing out the door into Hale, who he immediately hugged. "Hale, you came!" he said cheerfully to his companion."Hale?" asked Hymn, looking through his glossy blue eyes at the other person standing within Sojo's arms. He hadn't mentioned anyone. Shrugging off the thought Hymn welcomed the guest in with a slight frown on his face at the interruption of their peace.

Hale blinked as the strange scuffle at the door unfolded before him and he found himself wrapped in Sojo's arms, "S-sojo-san," Hale stuttered in surprise. The look on the other young man's face upset him a little and he pushed away from Sojo until he was far enough away for personal space and bowed, "My apologies for disrupting your evening," Hale said in his apologetic Host voice.
He straightened up again and looked at them both, "I, uh," he became quiet again, remembering that Sojo didn't like his Host act, "brought some of my favourite tea and some homemade jame and scones," he mumbled, looking shyly towards the floor. Hymn's frowning was throwing him off balance.

Sojo looked to Hale and smiled before turning his head to Hymn, who he glared at. Hymn shocked, stood up and rushed up stairs slamming the door to his room as he escaped from the reunion. "Sorry 'bout him, that's my dust, Hymn. He is just a little...unsocial around people." Sojo explained taking Hale's hand and leading him inside. Soon after they entered Sojo returned and locked the door to keep the Whi Forest creatures out of his home, he didn't need an invasion, again.Taking his time though he made his way to the counter stashing away all his herbs. "If you'd like you can come over here, I will get Hymn down from his room." Sojo said shuffling up the staircase will he got up into the dusts room.A moment later he returned the dust behind him giggling at Sojo, who looked like he was on fire his face was so red. Placing an arm around the others neck he smiled, pulling out the thing hold his hair up and laughed. "Eh, now you find it funny?" he laughed tossing the hair tie back at Hymn."Just a bit," said Hymn bowing slightly to Hale "Nice to meet you, you seem..interesting." Hymn smiled and took a seat on one of the chairs.

"Unsocial?" Hale quipped, wondering if his own Dust would be like that as well; that concerned him, since he had to lead a very social life. Hale watched as Sojo locked up the house again so thoroughly, "Why so many locks?" he asked curiously; it wasn't like there were a lot of bad thieves around or anything.
He shyly approached the counter, looking around carefully as he did; last time he was here he hadn't had a chance to see anything, "It's ok, you don't need to bother him," Hale said, trying to stop Sojo, but it was too late, the man was already gone.
Hale sighed softly and waited for Sojo's return, feeling badly that he want to bother the young Dust when he obviously didn't like Hale. As they returned, Hale looked up from the counter where he had been standing, his hands folded neatly on the smooth surface; they were laughing now? What had Sojo told the teen? Hale turned bright red as Hymn spoke to him, and he looked away shyly, "N-nice to meet you too," he murmured.

"Good Pick," said Hymn taking a cup of tea from previously from the counter and walking back up to his room giggling slightly as he did so, making sure not to make too much noise to interrupt the "couple".Sojo's face finally returned to normal as he put on a kettle full of water before he returned to Hale and sat next to him. "So, how have your last few days been?" he asked slightly curious to how the other had been getting along in the city. Taking the others hand he smiled leaning up against him.

"I've finally gotten myself unpacked and my house is slowly falling into it's new order," Hale replied, still blushing and not looking at Sojo. Hymn's words were bounding around in his head, making him more shy than usual, because when Hale wasn't acting like a Host, his personality flipped around to nearly opposite it seemed.
"I, uh, met another Guardian, and told them about the Dusts as best as I could," he said after a few more minutes. "It was quite a beautiful bottle too," he added, "Some sort of flaming feather." He looked up at Sojo finally, only to flush red again and stare back down at his hands shyly, "I brought my special blend of vanilla tea with real vanilla bean and flower," he said, placing a package down on the counter that contained the tea, jam, scones.

"That's good, it seems your quite the popular one to run into," he said eying the stuff in the bag before standing again. Reaching up he stretched yawning slightly. "If you want feel free to fix it." he offered kissing Hale on the cheek before he returned to the pot again chopping up some vegetables to put in the dish. 'Carrot. Potato. What else? Oh yes, the meat,' he thought returning to the large fridge.
Hymn came down the stairs a moment later, his hair tided back up, and back in his normal dust attired. Except for the helmet. Pressing his tongue to his lips he snorted. The air was so wet around here lately that it felt like everything outside was covered in moisture. Moving slightly he took a seat looking again at Sojo who seemed distracted and content humming. "So you're Hale?"

Hale fidgeted cutely as Sojo gave him another kiss and returned to his cooking, "S-sure," he muttered softly as he picked up the kettle and filled it and set it on to boil. He didn't know the layout of the kitchen, but it didn't take him long to get a plate, kinfe, and some butter for the scones.
As Hymn came downstairs once more, Hale had just been setting out the tea and snacks on the table and taking a seat, "Yes, I am Hale," he said, not looking Hymn in the eye. What ever Sojo had told him was enough to make the god blush too, so Hale was a little worried he might get picked on. "You're Hymn," he said, "Sojo-san told me a little about you."

"Well Sojo, told me quite a bit about you and him" Hymn said giggling a little at the images he had in his head. Taking the last sip of his tea he set it down sighing as his stomach still craved more. Taking up a chair at the table he looked at the two, his mind wondering to Cada a bit.It had been a couple of days since he had seen the dust.

Hale lowered his head a little, hiding his face in his flyaway hair to disguise the blush, "If you would like, I've prepared some tea and scones," he said softly, offering to pour some for the Dust.

"Thank You, if you don't mind." Hymn said with a fake smile on his face, as his thoughts were all on Cada at the present moment. Pushing them aside though he jumped out of the chair helping Sojo though with the bowls for the three of them. The small fruit pie looked delicious. Though Hymn wondered, where exactly Sojo put all those vegetables he was working with."Here we are," said Sojo sweetly setting down the three bowls for them. Everything seemed so nice. Sojo took a seat across from Hale and smiled at Hymn. "Well, shall we eat?"

Hale picked up the teapot and poured mugfuls for all three of them, leaving them to put in sugar and milk as they saw fit. Sitting back down, Hale picked up the milk and poured some into his tea, though he left out sugar.
"W-where did the vegetables go?" Hale asked in surprise as the fruit pie was given to him. Worried that it might be some bizzare trick, Hale took a scone and started on that first with some homemade strawberry jam, deciding to watch the reaction of the other's before eating the mysterious dish.

"They're still in the pot on the stove, I made these yesterday." he said smiling at Hymn who he relieved an odd look from. Leaving the tea as it was, Sojo lifted up the cup and took a sip perking a bit at the slight bitter taste when it first hit his tongue but smiled in the end. "This is very good tea you've made." said Sojo eying Hymn who agreed with him by a nod of the head."It tastes, different," said Hymn after the not motioning to the tea before he started in on the mystery fruit pie. So sweet.

"Mmn," Hale smiled at their approval of his favourite tea, "Thank you very much," he added sweetly, tilting his head to the side and letting his hair fall a bit as he smiled. Hale glanced over at the stove to make sure the pot was actually there before determining that the fruit pie was safe and digging into his share. Hale was not one to like sweet things, but he accepted it all the same, "This is tastey" he said, though it wasn't a lie, he wasn't entirely fond of its sweetness.
"So, Hymn, do you have any abilities?" Hale asked, wondering if it was a weird question. He took another sip of his tea and then returned to eating his scone, leaving the fruit pie to the side a bit; if he ate all of that, he would probably get sick from too much sugar.
