You guys are okay."
Aviva jumped up from where she was crouched in the corner, a smile breaking across her face. "You're back!" she took off into a run jumping over the couch in the process.
Bri stepped aside to let him in , shutting the door behind them quickly. But not swiftly enough to be out of the ordinary. When she turned around however, she was met with a pair of limbs wrapping around her torso- effectively knocking her over. Back hitting the wall, she looked up, shaking her head at the daze she had received . "Aviva!" she complained meeting her gaze with a frown.

"You're back!"
"Aviva!"
"We're back," Vane replies, stepping forward and away as the girl tackles Bri. "Sorry it took so long."
"Was everything move to the shop?" Atlas asks, standing near the corner.
"Everything has been taken care of."

"Aviva!"
Said person hugged her tightly, before glancing up at her- stepping away at the tone. Face falling as a little kids would if they knew they were in trouble, she looked down.
Bri pushed herself off the wall with a sigh, pinching her nose. Taking a breath she lowered her hand, meeting the other girls gaze. "Sorry, I know I worried you." she placed a hand on her head gently, eyes softening a moment.

"Sorry, I know I worried you."
"Everything has been taken care of."
"Well, at least you're home safe now," Atlas replied, stepping back as Vane stepped further in. "When will we be leaving?" though he hides it, he didn't truly want to go.
"Undetermined," Vane replies simply, sitting down on the couch with a groan after having stood on his feet for several hours.

"When will we be leaving?" though he hides it, he didn't truly want to go.
"Undetermined,"
Aviva pulled away from her quickly. "We're moving?! "
Bri sighed. "Avi-"
"NO! We just got here!"
"Not now Aviva. We'll...discuss this later. Tonight we'll stay, but I make no promises about tomorrow."

"We're moving?! "
"Avi-"
"NO! We just got here!"
"Not now Aviva. We'll...discuss this later. Tonight we'll stay, but I make no promises about tomorrow."
Atlas stepped over to Vane as he laid his head back. "Vane," he murmured, and his brother immediately replied.
"No."
"But things would be safer!" Atlas quietly hissed.
"No--"
"Don't you think that if they've been in trouble before and that this is the same people that those people are expecting them to leave?" The boy pushed on. "We could help."
Vane's head rose, his gaze sharp, and like that the discussion ended, leaving Atlas recoiling and moving away from his brother in silence.

"Not now Aviva. We'll...discuss this later. Tonight we'll stay, but I make no promises about tomorrow."
Aviva watched as she walked to the kitchen and started to make her a drink. "Why? Why can't we talk about this now? Why are we running again?"
"What?" she turned to look at her suddenly. "We- I'm not." she grabbed the glass and took a drink, finishing it in minutes
"Yes you are! Just like you have been for years! Please don't make me leave. I actually like it here- I made friends. " Her gaze flicked to the others. "You can leave, but i'm staying. "
"Out of the question. We're leaving and that's final. I won't say it again." turning away she put her glass in the sink, idle hands washing it.
Aviva's face contorted, angry tears pricking her eyes. "I hate you!". she replied before running upstairs and slamming the door.

The boys only heard snippets, their voices too low to hear in the kitchen. Though at the sudden raise in tone, Vane looked over as Atlas flinched.
"I hate you!"
The elder's eyes followed Aviva as she fled up the stairs, though he made no remark as he laid his head back again, closing his eyes. It was quiet a long moment until Atlas broke the silence.
"At least think about it, brother," he murmured to vane, settling in the recliner away from him. "You could at least do that much." Vane, however, gave no reply, and Atlas sighed and shook his head, peering out the window.

"I hate you!"
Bri jumped at the sound, letting go of her glass. As it tinkled against the side of the washbasin, she exhaled- hands going to the counter in a vice like grip. She stood there a few minutes, gathering her thoughts. Three minutes later she picked the glass back up and dried it. "I'm sorry you had to hear that. No-I'm sorry that you guys have to be involved. "

"I'm sorry you had to hear that. No-I'm sorry that you guys have to be involved. "
Vane took a long and steady breath, then let it out again, his eyes remaining close. "I have a proposition for you," he murmured, and Atlas turned and looked at him with a questioning gaze.

"I have a proposition for you,"
"A proposition? " She turned to look at him. "What is it?"

"A proposition? What is it?"
"I know you're running from someone," he answered easily. "Someone that involves what happened tonight, and if they're smart, they'll be waiting for you to leave town if it's something you've done plenty of before." He paused, a hand rubbing his jaw, though his eyes remain closed. "Why don't you and your cousin come work for us? The shop has plenty of space, and it'll give something for the two of you to do. You'll blend in far better with this crowd here in Dorburn if you're running a shop."
Atlas stared at his brother, surprised.

Brianna looked away a moment. ".....Ill think it over but I don't know yet. " she glanced over him. "For the meantime you should get some rest. You've done enough to help me out today." Says quietly.

".....Ill think it over but I don't know yet. For the meantime you should get some rest. You've done enough to help me out today."
"I don't sleep," he countered, hand moving to lock with the other behind his head. "I'm fine." Then, to Atlas, "you should get some sleep, kiddo. We've got a day ahead of us tomorrow."
Atlas pursed his lips before he settled in the recliner, staring at the ceiling, stealing another look towards his brother.

"I don't sleep," "I'm fine
"Alright. " exhaling she looked over at Atlas. "You're more than welcome to the bed upstairs. I don't think i'm going to sleep anytime soon." she glances at Vane a moment. "Its more comfortable than the recliner.
