"Orpheus makes people go momentarily insane, you know..." Lauss trotted though the corridor of an apartment complex, his master only steps away walking with him, just barely listening to what he was telling her. "Wha? Oh, that's cool..." The alter continued on talking about the essentic he'd only met once before, but one that had quite a strong, and also a bit frightening impact on him. Why was he talking about Orpheus instead of his usual topics like Rhian or school work? Because they were going over for a visit, of course. Lauss had been and still was leading the way, as he was much more able to follow the directions they'd been given over the phone; ones that he'd fully memorized the first time he'd heard them. He was rather useful as a GPS of sorts, Lee decided.
As they neared the door they were looking for, Lee stopped the essentic, giving him a stern look. "Watch what you say while you're in there. I don't want you scaring away your buddy's owner. He might get embarrassed over something you say. So just... behave." "Yes, Miss Lee." The alter nodded excitedly, just happy to be there. The man and his essentic were nice enough to offer Lauss some proper clothing, something that hopefully better suited the boy, and Lee didn't want to be a burden. After all, she had no idea who these people were, and didn't want to offend their delicate sensibilities.
Lee tapped at the door lightly, and as they waited took to tugging at Lauss' t-shirt to make the wrinkles in it less apparent. Wow. He really needed better clothes...

"Okay, I think that's the last of it, Orpheus." Verdant wiped the sweat from his brow and observed his handiwork. Just as he had done for Aoi so long ago, the randy amaranth nymph had taken it upon himself to "child-proof" his home (that is, he took down all the naughty posters of his favorite actors, porn stars, and the like, crammed them into a box labeled SMUT and draped a small tablecloth over it, making it look like a very cheap coffee table). He'd wiped the thin coat of grime that somehow had accumulated on his living room walls, filled the apartment with lush ferns and delicate baby's breath, and lit lots of incense to get rid of that old lady smell that Verdant couldn't get rid of with regular air fresheners. "Have you finished up, yet?"
Orpheus, having now mastered the art of walking and picking stuff up with his hands, was putting the last buttermilk petal on the last buttermilk rose on the buttermilk cake he and Verdant had baked when he heard the knocking on the door. "I'm done, Big Brother! I'll go get the door!" He put the finishing touches on the cake and squeezed the rest of the icing into his mouth before running over to open the door for Lauss and his master. He dusted himself off, fixed his hair, and straightened out his tank top; despite the breeze, it was just too warm out for his taste. He swung open the door and waved to Lauss and his master. "Well, hello, Bro's in back; welcome to our humble shack~!"

Lauss blinked, tilting his head before asking, "Where is Orpheus?" This wasn't who he'd met before. Had he not followed the directions properly? Were they in someone else's home? Stepping inside, he searched for the proto he'd seen at the gardens, scanning the room for a flying dragon... thing. No where. Was he hiding? He should check the bedroom...
"L-Lauss, come back here..." Lee was scolding him in a whisper, and the essentic couldn't hear her at this point. She reached out a hand, grabbing at the air a bit before slumping her shoulders forward. He'd already managed to invade places he wasn't invited into, and they'd only just arrived. "I-I'm sorry, he's... ugh." There weren't words to describe how humiliated she was right then.

Verdant saw Lauss come inside, waved to him, then scampered forward to block the door to his bedroom. There were LOTS of things in there not suitable for anyone under the age of 18... some things not suitable for anyone OVER 18 either~ "Uh, Lauss, sweetie, Orpheus is over there. At the door. Not in my room. Nope. Over there." He grabbed Lauss by the shoulders, swiveled him around, and gently nudged him back to the door.
Orpheus stepped aside to let Lauss by, wondering why he was asking for him when he was standing right there in front of him. "Lauss? You okay, brah?" He looked back to the girl standing in the doorway and smiled. "Hello, I'm Orpheus. Please come inside. No need to apoligize, brah; Lauss is my friend and my home is his home- except Big Brother's room. He has stuff in there that I'm not old enough to see." As he said this, he could hear his older brother face-palming in the background.

A bit startled that the man nudging him away knew his name, Lauss obediently stepped toward the door. "Orpheus? You grew? I did, too!" Lauss' eyes went wide, and a smile crept onto his face. He didn't think to congratulate the essentic, but his expression showed his intentions pretty clearly.
"O-okay..." was all Lee could think to respond with. Venturing further inside, she blinked, realizing she hadn't introduced herself yet. "Oh, I'm Lee. And, you know Lauss, I guess..." She noted that it smelled a bit like Rhian in here... and something else, too. It couldn't be, could it? ... Cake?

Verdant sighed with relief; he certainly dodged a bullet there. He couldn't have one of Orpheus' friends finding his... well, calling it smut just wouldn't do any of it justice, would it?
Orpheus giggled and hugged Lauss with one arm, leading Lee into the kitchen with the other. He sat both of them down at the kitchen table and began cutting slices of cake for them, grinning with pride; he had made the cake look pretty all by himself! "Yup, I grew up," he said as he served Lee her cake. "Aoi seemed to be pretty happy about it." He blushed lightly at the thought of his... boyfriend? Were they boyfriends? Orpheus had never thought to ask, but that wasn't important right now. "I bet Rhian was happy you grew up~"
Verdant walked into the kitchen and sat up on the counter, eagerly awaiting his piece of cake. Not wanting Lee to be left out of the conversation, he waved to her and smiled. "Hello, I'm Verdant, Orpheus' brother. It's a pleasure to meet you!"

"Rhi and I grew together. She's very beautiful, have you seen her? She says I'm handsome, too." Lauss still found pride in that fact, even when it had been a considerable amount of time since anyone had last said it. "Does Aoi think you're handsome? I'm sure he likes your hair. It's nice hair." He was paying the other a compliment, though he wasn't doing it on purpose. In his mind, he was stating a simple fact.
Lee eagerly took the plate offered to her, feeling the need to compliment how great it looked but not wanting to interrupt their conversation. Her face half stuffed with amazing buttermilk cake as Verdant started chatting with her, she held a hand to her mouth while she took her time chewing and swallowing the bite. "I'm Lee." She smiled, a bit embarrassed at how much of a pig she was. "I'm... Lauss' sister, kind of. Thanks for offering to help him out. He looks..." She looked over to her essnentic, making an uncomfortable expression before looking back at Verdant. "Well, he could look better." Jeans and a t-shirt really didn't suit the kid.

Orpheus shook his head at Lauss' question. "Nuh-uh, I haven't seen her yet. She's always been pretty, though, so it's not all that surprising. I must admit, though, Rhian's right, you're a handsome young man." Orpheus smiled and was serving himself when Lauss complimented him and mentioned Aoi in the same sentence; he had to make sure the knife didn't wind up in his hand when it fell out and jammed itself firmly inside the cake. "U-u-um, y-yes, he thinks I'm v-very handsome. He loves everything 'bout me, he says..." Oh, why was he so pale?! Orpheus was certain that everyone in the kitchen could see how fiercely he was blushing, especially when the mere mention of Aoi made his heart skip a beat. "M-my hair is n-nice?"
Verdant rolled his eyes at his younger sibling before turning his attention back to Lee. "Oh, so you have a bond with Lauss similar to the one I have with Orpheus? That's so cool! Most of the other Essentics we've met see their owners as parents or masters; the sibling bond isn't as common, I guess." Though Verdant was a little more discreet with his looking over of Lauss, he had to admit, the poor thing needed some WAY different clothing. "Not to sound rude, but yeah, Lauss, sweetie, that clothing is just not you. Fortunately enough for you, I made several outfits more than was necessary for Orpheus. When you guys are done with your cake, we can go have him try on the clothing~" Ah, if there was anything Verdant enjoyed more than rough hardcore sex and cake, it was having people try on clothing he'd made himself~

Blinking, Lauss was severely confused about Orpheus' new speech impediment. When did he start being a stutterer? "Your cheeks are turning pink. Rhi's do that sometimes. Is it a good thing?" At the time, she hadn't really elaborated on the subject, but he was still curious. What purpose did blushing have? Nodding his head, he eventually answered the essentic's question. "Yes. The colors are nice. I'm sure Aoi likes the colors, too."
Lee giggled lightly as she listened to the man. "I'm a little young to be considered a mom, I guess..." It be weird if Lauss called Lee "mama". Almost gave her chills down her spine. Working on her cake again, Lee nodded, a bit excited to see Lauss in something more appropriate. "Anything but t-shirts and jeans. He likes Victorian stuff, but you prolly dun have any of that lying around." What kind of person would? Lauss would likely just have to wait a bit longer for something like that.

"Y-yes, it's a very good thing, Lauss, it means she l-likes you a lot," Orpheus quipped as he served a slice of cake for himself and another for Verdant. He'd forgotten how straightforward Lauss was; he sure was blunt, but at least there wasn't any beating around the bush going on, right? "Aoi likes the colors, yes..."
Verdant nodded in agreement with Lee. "Yeah, you're what, sixteen, seventeen? You can't possibly be older than that. And are you kidding me? Right, right, you've only just met me, hold on a second." Verdant hopped off the counter and ran into his room, emerging a few minutes later in an outfit that could only be described as worthy of Mr. Darcy to wear, or perhaps Henry Crawford, the handsome devil. The outfit, a menagerie of creams and browns, was something to look at for sure! "This is what I wear on a normal day, sweetie; you should see me on special occasions."

"Oh? Does that mean you like Aoi a lot?" Was that what the stuttering had been about? And was that why Aoi had behaved so oddly when he met him before? He was impressed with how well he put two and two together, tilting his head as he looked at Orpheus.
Hurray, someone actually guessed her age correctly! For once she didn't look like a fourteen-year-old. Taking the moment Verdant was gone to finish inhaling her cake, she tilted her head as the man came back out. Lee blinked, not exactly sure she was seeing this right. This man wore Victorian clothing regularly? The surprise washed away from her face soon enough, replaced with a smile. "I think Lauss is gonna worship you..." She shook her head, almost laughing at how true the statement was.
At the mention of his name, Lauss turned his head to his master, then in the direction she was looking. The essentic nearly fell out of his seat as he gazed upon the most beautiful sight -- with the exception of alter Rhian -- in all his short life. Crawling out of his chair, he cautiously stepped toward the man, not sure what he was seeing was real. Putting his hands on the mans shirt, pulling at the fabric, leaning in close to see the attention to detail, he sighed with pure bliss. His inspection continued for a few moments, the alter letting out a few, "Ohhhh..."s when he found something particularly wonderful. Lauss stepped back, staring up at Verdant with awe, not saying a word.

Orpheus just smiled and nodded, nibbling on his piece of cake, completely lost in- you, you guessed it- thoughts of Aoi.
Verdant chuckled as Lauss admired not just his threads, but the detail that Verdant had put into it. It wasn't very often that people noticed the little things he put into his clothing, tiny details that only he knew were there. Verdant looked up at Lee, nodding in agreement with her. "Yeah, I think you might be right about that, Lee." Looking back down to address Lauss, Verdant quipped, "When we're all finished, Orpheus and I can show you all the clothing that we've made for you, okay? I did take into consideration your adoration of Victorian clothing- you get a billion brownie points for that, by the way- but I threw in a few other styles, like steampunk and some scene kid clothes, but only because Orpheus told me to, otherwise I never would've because I absolutely hate scene kids, they always ruin my fun at concerts, acting like they're so cool when they all look alike and make me think that the whole concert was taken over by zombies, almost like something out of Invasion of the Body Snatchers!"

While the essentic had no idea what the whole "scene" part was about, Verdant had managed to overjoy the young alter. Lauss' eyes widened a bit, and he scurried back to the table, taking his plate and swallowing his whole piece of cake in nearly one bite. "Hurry, Miss Lee!" He leaned forward, watching her eat, wanting everyone to finish as soon as they could so he could take a look at his new outfit. After his owner scowled at him a bit, he sat back, hopping in his seat impatiently. As he waited, he turned to look back over at Verdant and asked, "What can I spend those 'brownie points' on?"
Lee sat in her chair, taking her time with her cake and enjoying the deliciousness of each bite. Sure, she was torturing Lauss, but cake was a bit more important than his happiness.

Orpheus giggled and watched Lauss' enthusiastic spasm or whatever that was. It was so cute to see him all bouncy and happy for clothes! Why, Orphy felt more and more like Lauss' brother with each passing second. To think, he had a sibling with a love of clothing that might rival his, even if it was only because it was Victorian clothing. Not wanting to torture his poor older brother, Orpheus chomped down his cake and led Lauss by the hand to the closet. "Come on, brah, you have got to see the cute scarves I helped make for you!"
Verdant chuckled as the two essentics rushed past him. He hopped back up on the counter, crossing his legs and letting the heels of his boots knock against the wood. "So, how long have you been Lauss' caretaker?"
