Kian couldn't help but to just wander around the house aimlessly on his days off, having obviously nothing to do other than make sure Benny had all his supplies ready for school. He still couldn't believe his little man was 10 already, and soon enough would ready to go off to Hogwarts. In a small matter of time he'd be giving his father some grandkids! Okay, well, hopefully not that soon, but if Kian had lost track of a decade, who knew how many more years he could lose track of.
Speaking of Benny, where was he? Hopefully not causing trouble with Bastian somewhere, though he wouldn't have been surprised in the least if that was exactly what was happening. He couldn't blame him, though. Kian was a little troublemaker himself when he was his age. You were only young once, he supposed. He slouched down in a chair in the living room, feeling like his whole body could just sink into the furniture.

A devilish grin spread across Benny's face as he thought about his plan to sabotage his father. He tried to stop himself from laughing too hard, and was successful in only allowing a snigger, but quickly pursed his lips and silently clapped a hand to cover his mouth. He was sitting behind the family sofa, and already the plan was set in motion, but not according to schedule. As per usual, the family dog Klaus was making his sniffing rounds through the house and garden, going in and out as he pleased. Although, his father hadn't sat down when Klaus was passing by, or where Benny was waiting for him.
"Now I have to wait a whole cycle." Benny whispered to himself quietly, as he imagined right where Klaus must be, probably rounding the corner of the house. He could see through the window of the living room from his position into the garden, and like clockwork, Klaus came snuffling into view. He stopped at the shrubs near the bottom of the window, careful not to damage any of the plants, and sniffed about; checking for garden gnomes.
Benny silently urged on the dog as he shuffled around a few of the dog biscuits in his hands nervously, hoping that dad wouldn't get up too soon. Klaus eventually sticked to schedule once he was sure that the shrubs were clear of gnomes and stayed on his path towards the pet door. Benny knew just when he would execute his plan, when he heard the flop of plastic peel open. Originally the plan was that he would silently stand up, hold the biscuits just over dad's shoulder for Klaus to see (as he was too short to reach over the couch or hover them over his head). He would then drop the lot onto Dad's lap so that the dog would follow them, and then Benny would throw himself over the sofa to tackle and pin his father during the chaos. But now with the unexpected seating, Benny calculated that right when Klaus entered, he would have to stand up quickly and toss the biscuits onto his father's lap. He could always tackle Dad at a later time, and he didn't want to knock over the red lamp that was between the sofa and Dad's seat.
((OOC: I wasn't sure about playing for Klaus, or even what type of Sheepdog he is, so I kinda just left it rather vague x) but hehe, sneaky Benny is sneaky...))

spaceHannelore had been walking down the hall looking through the mail when she came to the living room and spotted her son, crouching down behind the sofa and watching his father and Klaus intently. She crossed her arms, standing in the doorway, lips pursed as she observed. It didn't take the woman long to figure out exactly what Benny was up to, and she internally debated letting him get away with it. Buuuut, as it was, she was at least attempting to keep the new house clean, at least for the next couple of days, since they were continually getting visitors, either new neighbors welcoming them to the area, or family and friends of her sister's coming by to say hi or introduce themselves. Once the steady stream managed to subside, all bets were off; Hanna was not a particularly fastidious woman when you got down to it. A fact that was likely going to drive her sister up the wall and around the bend, but Hanna wasn't going to completely alter her habits just to keep Nat sane. Though, she did have a feeling she was going to spend plenty of days ushering the younger woman out the door when she started getting nitpicky and came over to 'help'.
spaceThe Ravenclaw took her wand from is holder on her hip, and with a quick spell, summoned the dog biscuits in Benny's hand, arching a brow at the boy. "Now, what exactly was your plan here?" she asked, tone a split between her Mom voice and obvious amusement. She regarded her child and her husband with a gleam in her eye. "He gets this from you, you know," she quipped at Kian, even though they both knew it was a blatant lie. She might not have been as bad as her husband, but she'd been pretty bad. Between her and Jon, she was fairly certain the stereotype about Ravenclaws being too busy studying to cause trouble had been tossed right out a window. Normally she'd have let the boy get away with his plot, whatever it may have been, but given that she never knew who was going to show up at her doorstep, or when, she thought it best to keep things relatively tidy. Especially since Nat had warned her that apparently a certain family of purebloods was liable to stop by, now that the father had remarried. Apparently Wesley Edgeworth's new wife was much more neighborly than his previous one had been. Hanna was still highly suspicious of the entire thing, given that the last time she'd heard anything about the family, they'd still been on Jon's list. But apparently the men were friends now, which baffled her. But, if they were on good terms, she wanted to make a decent impression, so her house needed to stay clean... at least for a bit. Even if she was grinding her teeth at the lack of clutter all the while.

Kian could have dozed off right there, but then he had a feeling that it wasn't quite the right time. Besides, he was only 46, and taking naps in the middle of the day was something old people did, right? Ugh, he was getting old.. Too old.. Maybe he could seek out a vampire so he wouldn't age anymore? Hm, maybe.. While he was contemplating on his age and other related things, he noticed his wife walking up and standing in the doorway, watching him. Or something else? Oh, he knew exactly what was going on. And he had a feeling that it involved his son. Seeing the dog biscuits come out of nowhere--or what seemed to be nowhere--he turned himself around and spotted his mischievous son, and couldn't help but grin. Was he planning on pranking him? Pranking the prankster (well, former prankster) was quite a task. Of course, he made sure to give Benny a stern look when he turned back around so Hanna could see it, at least to give the impression he was being a good father.
Standing up, Kian reached over the seat for Benny, to pick him up just like he had when he was just a little boy. "Yeah, what were you planning on doing? You know you can't prank the prankster." Looking towards Hanna, he smiled brightly and shrugged his shoulders. While he knew Hanna wasn't a saint herself, she was probably right. He just hoped that Benny didn't cause as much trouble when he went to Hogwarts. "I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about," he said jokingly, ruffling his son's hair.

XXXXXBenny had been looking around the room waiting for Klaus with abated breath, when suddenly his hands felt empty. He looked down where the biscuits should have been, and much to his surprise they were gone. He proceeded to frantically search under his legs, and was just about to turn to check under the couch when he heard his mother's voice asking what he was planning to do with these.
He looked up from his hiding place, and saw her there in the doorway with the biscuits and her wand. He knew instantly that she had charmed the dog treats from his hands, and his face lit up.
At first he wished that he could have seen her do it, as he adored it whenever his parents did any sort of magic, even if he had seen them do it a thousand times, but now his plan to prank his father had come to an abrupt end and he felt a bit sheepish. He met his father's eyes as he turned around to grin at Benny, and then giggled when he scowled at Benny, as he knew it was just a show for Mum. The boy stood up and flamboyantly threw himself backwards onto the backrest of the sofa.
"Foiled by the old lady!" He exasperated dramatically to himself, but smiled a wide, toothy smile as he lay across the top of the sofa upside-down, looking from mother to father. Benny loved to be light and funny when he could, and loved having both of his parents finally to himself after so many visitors, and also on a day when his father wasn't working.
XXXXXHe slid back down the couch, careful not to be messy about it, and stood behind it as his father got up to try and pick him up. He was still rather small for his age, but he had certainly gotten big enough over the past few years. As his father turned to mum, Benny stood on the tips of his toes and hoisted himself up the couch, latching himself to his father's shoulders. He was just inches from his face, not wanting to miss the chance to tell him all about the prank, grinning from ear to ear and ignoring their quibble about who he had gotten his wit from.
Benny managed to speak as his father turned and ruffled his hair, and though he couldn't see through the mess of fingers and hair, he stayed determined to let his father know his genius plan. "I swear it was brilliant, Dad. I was going to get Klaus, see, and use those treats to get him to climb all over you, and then when you were well distracted, I was going to swoop in and pin you down!"
He felt rather proud of himself, and knew that both his parents would be, too. Benny had heard stories from several people about them when they had been kids themselves. He was always happy to hear about his father's pranks, and funny stories, but he was suspicious about the various accounts from his uncle Jon about his mother. Not that he didn't think girls incapable, on the contrary he thought his mum to be brilliant from the stories; but his mother was something sort of angelic to him, and he didn't want to believe that she was anything other than loving mum.
XXXXXA thought then occurred to him, and he suddenly voiced it. "So who is coming by today?" He laid his chin on his arm that was resting on the sofa and looked up towards his mother, still clinging to dad's shoulders. He hoped that her answer might be his uncle, aunt, and finally his cousins.
He had yet to meet any of them yet, and although he was pleased to meet his Aunt Nat and Uncle Jon, he really wanted to meet someone his own age, for a change. He had met them when they all had first arrived at the cottage, and the boxes were still unpacking themselves, and aunty Nat told mum all about this neighbor, that friend of the family, or some prestigious sounding person with a fancy last name. After a while, the people that she had talked about showed up. Witches and Wizards by the plenty came, and although he was fascinated and truly grateful to meet them all, all he really wanted was to meet Sebastian. Apparently, this particular cousin was his contemporary, and they would be attending the same school together.
Being an only child was great until you had no one to share in adventures with. He figured that he could up and go to the Blythe's cottage at any time, but seeing as he was still sorting out his room, and it was in a rather horrid state, he thought it best to let the visit happen at home, so as he could work at it, at his own leisure.
Normally their old house back in the country wasn't as spotless as the cottage was now, but with all the visits Benny was told to mind the furniture and floors, and he was truly doing his best. He rather liked it a little messy though, as it seemed more homely and used, but he also understood the idea of first impressions; and so he was going to do a bang up job.
((OOC: I sent you guys a PM with some of the ideas that we had mulled over, via chtazy biggrin ))

spaceSebastian grinned ear to ear as he reached up and knocked on the Bates' door. The blonde was bouncing on the balls of his feet, impatiently waiting for someone to answer. He could hear Klaus barking inside, and hoped that meant that someone was home. He maybe should've planned ahead instead of just deciding to come over, but it seemed silly to make Feathers fly a few houses away to deliver a letter. Besides, it wasn't like he'd wasted a whole bunch of time if Benny and his parents weren't home; they lived right down the road. Still, he'd be pretty disappointed if he had to turn around and go back. He'd been bored out of his skull at home, which was why he was here in the first place. After a couple hours of having nothing fun to do and not wanting to help his Mum clean (because ugh, how lame would that be?), he'd asked, very sweetly, if she'd mind him running down the street to play with his cousin. She'd considered it for a while, and eventually said yes. He figured it was just because it got him out of her hair for a while; apparently he made messes faster than she could clean them. Whatever the case, it meant that he got to spend some time with Benny instead of having to help, which he was all for. Provided that the boy was home. Impatient, he knocked again, louder this time, and called out, "Helloooooo? Aunt Hanna? Uncle Kian? Benny? Anyone hooooome?" The only answered he received, at least for a moment, was more barking from Klaus, and he pouted. C'mon, where could they be? Maybe his aunt was out in her greenhouse? Could he get into the backyard? He thought they had a lock on it... but he bet he could jimmy the lock. How hard could it be? Except he didn't have anything to do it with... He could climb the fence, then! The younger boy considered his options carefully. Aunt Hanna probably wouldn't be too mad, right?

XXXXXBenny's answer almost came immediately when he heard a small voice outside the cottage's front door. He hadn't noticed what had happened to Klaus until he realized that he was at the door barking, like he did when the family had a visitor. Benny let go of his father's shoulders and slid down the back of the couch.
"I'll get it!" He said, hopping between the armchair and the red lamp, past his mother, and then standing behind the door.
XXXXXHe looked down at his pajamas and realized that he would look quite funny to new guests if they should see him in a large grungy gray shirt that he had sneaked from his father's drawers, and pants that had cartoon prints of dragons soaring up and down the seams.
Benny ventured to peer through the window outside to see who it was, but almost immediately realized who this stranger must be as he had the same blonde hair as his uncle Jonathan. At this, he came into full view through the window, putting himself in between Klaus and the door.
"Klaus stop that, it's more family!" He proclaimed to the giant dog that was nearly as tall if not wide as himself.
XXXXXHe swung open the door, and took in the full sight of his cousin. Sebastian didn't really look anything like himself, but Benny figured that they must both take after their fathers more, but at a second look he thought they might share the same nose or ears or something, but they definitely had the same mischievous smile.
"You must be Sebastian! Hi, I'm Benny." He said matter of factly and stood aside, holding open the door with one foot, extended a hand to shake, and kept a certain rather large and snuffling Klaus behind him with the other. He knew that sometimes people didn't like dogs for some reason or another, and until he knew for sure, he didn't want to scare away his cousin; as long as he could help it.
