Relka stopped in front of one of the houses, she had taken Pyran down here with her. She wanted him to be with her, and she made she he never had a chance to run off again, through it was unlikely that he would right now.
The house seemed kinda old in some places, it was Relka's odl house, she had never moved out, but she hadn't lived here since Sky Corp took her. The place was empty, of all except for furniture, household objects and clothing.
The flowerbeds were bare, and no trace of plant life was left. Excpet something was hidden there, Relka rushed over to one of them and slowly dug at the soft soil.

Pyran's ears were flicked back as he looked clear up at the old house. Yes, he remembered it... It had been one of his many sanctuaries from his own place when he was younger. He'd spent as much time out of his own home as possible.
"What are we--Relka?" He watched her dash towards the flowerbeds and dig frantically in the dirt. Pyran frowned. "Looking for magic acorns?"

"What could I possibly do with magic acorns?" She stopped digging after awhile, she had created a hole in the flower bed. She reached in and pulled out a key, sure, it was covered in dirt, but it would still work. She wiped the key off and stood up, walking up to the door.
"Coming? Or are you gonna stay out here?"

"I dunno, what you gonna do with that handful of dirt--oh." Pyran stopped his nonsense when he saw the key. His eyes met hers and he gave that usual crooked grin. "Ah, I seem to remember letting you suffer through my past. I might as well tag along for yours. Come on." He followed her up the steps though he put an arm around her and made it clear he wanted to take a lead.

"Heh, always so nice huh? You've come along way, from stealing lunch money to being the nicest person I know." She put the old key in the door slowly, the lock clicked as she turned the key.
"Wanna open the door for me too?"

Pyran chuckled. "A very long way I hope. Hope I can stay this far too." He stepped forward and turned the nob, opening it in a dramatic flourish, and once it swung open he held out one hand gesturing for her to enter. His grin widened. "Would you like me to carry you over the threshold, m'lady?"

Relka purred and smiled. "It's up to you, but then again, I really don't want you to hurt yourself." She laughed, but she knew that Pyran had a kinda hard time, with all the metal parts in her body. She pulled him in after her, and shut the door.
The first room in the house was the entrance hall, the stairs going up to the second floor on one side, on the other a hallway with a few doors for the other parts of the house. Through, it hadn't changed much a few things were different from their childhood. There was a garage now, and a car inside, through, it might not work, and there was an extra room upstairs.

Pyran came in after her, neck craned upwards, turning around as he walked in backwards to get a good look.
"...Creepy," he said finally. Well, it was! How long had it been like this? Dead silent... The dust muffled every sound and his sensitive ears resented it. It made it seem like something was very wrong.
He chuckled as he turned back around. "Though I guess my place wasn't much better after a year, and I haunted that dump for a good two weeks. So...what're we doing here?"

"Just looking around, this old place must have a few things we can use... Also, your place was a wreck after a year. I should know, I saw it too." She stretched and looked around, sure there was alot of dust, but then again, there was alot of useful stuff here too.
"Hey, my dad worked for Sky Corp, maybe his computer would still be connected to their systems?"

Pyran shrugged innocently. "Well you have to remember, what with the blood all over the place and the fact that it was at the beach, where storms roll in and little kids go on graffiti raids, I think it did fairly well."
He paused, looking thoughtful. "Well...um...have you been paying your internet bill? You've been gone a while. Or does it connect in a different way? If it does, you get a bowl of shrimp on me."

"Ha... We never had to pay an internet bill, my dad messed with the connection so it's free, atleast... I think the electricity works..." She flicked one of the light switches, the room breifly lit up, through it was clear there was a problem with the bulb as it kept flickering.

((...I'm braindead, man. Give me more to go off of.))
Pyran jumped up to sit on the table, hands planted on the edge, watching her walk around the room. "Well...what're we waiting for?" he asked simply.

((I'll make it more interesting soon, I'm gonna bring the other Dawn in soon.))
"Heh, okay." She slowly walked up the stairs, her dad's office was the first door to the left, one of many rooms in this house. Through, something other than the dust and the oldness seemed creepy.

((I mean, ask questions! ...Actually, I got a way for them to keep this interesting until then, never mind.))
Pyran looked up as she passed him. He didn't move from the table for a moment, really wanting to rest... But he got up reluctantly and followed.
He stopped in the doorway and put his back against the frame, sliding down to sit against it, tired eyes watching her. "So...Relka... Before I make a fool of myself and loose a lot of money on an engagement ring...would you be interested in taking it to the next step? If I asked?"
The only reason he asked so informally now instead of formally later was because...well, she was pregnant! There was no telling what her hormones could be doing to her, and not to mention her recent outbreaks. He'd just like to know now. Before he went for the formal mode.
Besides...he was still debating with himself whether he was even ready. Did he want someone else's kid? Well...he felt it probably wouldn't make too much of a difference. But could he stand being around Relka? He'd tried to murder Aira--melancholy, sweet, soothing Aira... That's not to say Relka was worse in any way. But her temper...well, Pyran wasn't sure of himself, if he'd be able to control himself when he couldn't even control himself around others. It was himself he was doubting, not Relka.

((Eh? Ooohhh, sorry my brain ish still on other subjects... Like how Wraith's gonna react to the current situation and all...))
Relka stopped and turned around, she had a smile on her face. "Maybe... Through if I actually told you, it'd ruin the moment." So, she wouldn't say eh? But something was still bugging her, she continued up the stairs until she reached the top. She stopped and waited for him. "Through, I didn't think you were the kinda person to go for a move like that."
