"Act natural. You boys could draw the wrong attention."
Vane tensed but made no other move, eyes watching Atlas, who glanced back, pursed his lips, and faced forward again. The eldest walked without another word, jaw working.
"Open the door."
Atlas stared at the door, hesitating, starting when he heard a soft whistle, looked at Vane, meeting Vane's gaze, then eyes flicking to the knife. He didn't want his brother hurt. He turned back to the door and opened it, looking back again before stepping inside.

Brianna waited until the other boy was inside before she closed the door behind them with her foot. Once the door was closed, she immediately removed her arm from the boy. Walking forward she laid the knife on the small end table. As she turned her shoulders automatically relaxed, her gaze softer than the harsh one she had previously given. "Lunch should be ready soon. You hungry?"

"Lunch should be ready soon. You hungry?"
Both boys exchanged looks, their demeanor changed from what it had been earlier, and Atlas is the one who nodded, though Vane spoke, "Yeah, sure." His voice was quiet as his eyes flicked over his surroundings, while Atlas remained behind him doing the same.

Brianna nodded in response. "Please make yourselves at home." she murmured before watching them with a sigh. "I won't do anything so no need to look so guarded." She leaned against the counter before contemplating. "You really only want Aviva to work for you?"

"Please make yourselves at home. I won't do anything so no need to look so guarded."
"It didn't seem that way on the way here," Atlas replied warily.
"You really only want Aviva to work for you?"
Vane shrugged. "She offered her help to us, and was kind to us. She wanted to work, so we accepted her offer," he studied her a moment, recognition setting in. "You're the cousin she mentioned, aren't you?"

"It didn't seem that way on the way here,"
"Yes well that was then. We're inside now."
"She offered her help to us, and was kind to us. She wanted to work, so we accepted her offer, You're the cousin she mentioned, aren't you?"
Brianna turned from one brother to another as they spoke, eyes calculating. Seconds passed before she exhaled, shoulders slumping in relief. There was only a short period of time that she could keep up an act. "The one and only. I'm sorry for the theatrics- truly. But as I said earlier, you boys could drawl out the wrong time attention by merely mentioning her name. If it hadn't been me coming along, it would have been someone else. " Her gaze traveled up to linger on the stairs a moment. "As for working with you." She snorted softly. "That's just like her. Go out and explore the world. Try new things. I'm not against the idea- It'll be good for her. "she said more to herself than them.

"Why would her name draw unwanted attention?" Atlas asked, frowning. "Is she in trouble, or have beef with someone, or-"
"Atlas," Vane hissed. "Enough. If we were to know she would've said why."
"As for working with you. That's just like her. Go out and explore the world. Try new things. I'm not against the idea- It'll be good for her. "
Vane looked at her. "She doesn't normally get out?"

"Why would her name draw unwanted attention? Is she in trouble, or have beef with someone, or-"
"Atlas, Enough. If we were to know she would've said why."
Brianna turned her attention back to the guests standing before her. "I know you have questions about her actions and words, but I can't tell you that. That's something you will either figure out on your own, or simply ask her."
"She doesn't normally get out?"
She looked at Vane. "What I can tell you that it isn't safe for her outside. The only time she gets out is when I send her on errands or am with her." She leaned against the kitchen counter. "So I am asking you two to watch her when she is outside. "

Vane nodded while Atlas held a puzzled expression.

"You have our word, Miss...?" Vane started, trailing as he frowned slightly. He didn't know her name.

"You have our word, Miss...?
"Brianna." She studied him a moment before giving a relieved smile. "Thank you. " she looked towards the stairs before tilting her head. After a moment she sighs. "Aviva! You have guests!" Calls up the stairs before rubbing her face. "HONESTLY she would stay up there all night." Mutters to herself.
A crash is heard before footsteps echo on the ceiling. Moments later Aviva burst down the stairs three at a time. "Why didn't you tell me?!" She reached the bottom of the spiraling staircase and ran into her cousin, almost knocking her over. "Who is it? Do I know them? Well I assume I do since you don't have anyone over." She looks over before grinning. "You guys are actually here."

"Brianna. Thank you. Aviva! You have guests! HONESTLY she would stay up there all night."
"Why didn't you tell me?! Who is it? Do I know them? Well I assume I do since you don't have anyone over. You guys are actually here."
Atlas smiled at her. "Of course. We said we'd find you once we talked things out."
"You can work with us," Vane added with a small smile. "Even with the booth."

Aviva looked at them before grinning in response. "Really?!" Excited she ran forward and pulled them both into a hug. "Thank you! Oh! " she turned to Brianna. "Is that OK? If I work with them. I promised to pay for the Booth as well. "
Brianna nodded watching her. "Yes it's fine." A deep sigh left her at the statement. "You know better than to promise things like that." Seeing her face grow disappointed, she began pinching her nose she shook her head before looking at the boys. "How much do you need?"

"Really?! Thank you! Oh! Is that OK? If I work with them. I promised to pay for the Booth as well."
Vane blinked in surprise, while Atlas laughed. "We should be thanking you."
"Yes it's fine. You know better than to promise things like that. How much do you need?"
Vane rubbed the back of his neck, looking away. "We don't want to take anything unless--"
Atlas elbowed him, taking a breath. "To start, the booth is 50 pieces, only because of where it's at and what we're selling," he answered.
"But it could change later," Vane added quietly. "We have to make payments because we can't outright buy it."

"We should be thanking you."
Aviva looked at them, still attached. "Me? What for? I haven't done anything yet." She grinned when her cousin agreed. "Thank you!" she immediately detached and jogged over to older girl and hugged her tightly
"We don't want to take anything unless--"
"To start, the booth is 50 pieces, only because of where it's at and what we're selling,"
"But it could change later, We have to make payments because we can't outright buy it."
Brianna raised her hand to pat her head, but made no other movements to acknowledge the hug. She looked at her, something flickering in her gaze. After a few moments she adverted it to rest on the boys, now blank again. She tilted her head as the one who appeared older tried to talk before the other one elbowed him. Managing to push Aviva away so she can breath she shook her head. "No the promise will be kept. As for payments, I will do what I can to help get you running. But I won't be able to help a whole lot. "

"What my brother means to say," Vane shot a sharp glance towards Atlas, "is that anything helps, not matter how small." His gaze met hers. "This means a lot to us, even if it's just to help with the first payment."
