isn't... worried... at all! Nonsense. He was... checking at the door every couple of minutes because he's... expecting a package!

doing his best to come in through the window.

hears something, and grabs the closest thing near him- a whip crop. Why he had it, well... that's another story.

falls in with a thud. Oh...well, the weapon West had wouldn't surprise him.

hears the noise again in the office, and quickly makes his way there, riding crop ready.

groans. That had hurt!

kicks open the door to the room, ready to whip whatever stranger had stumbled in, and stares at his brother.

laying flat on his back, staring up at the ceiling. "Hey West!"

stares down at him. "What are you doing. You have a key."

it's more fun this way. "I just like doing it like this." He had wanted to pretend he had been there all along.

realizes that he has a weapon in his hand, a potential... play thing taunt, and throws it down the hall, hoping he hadn't seen. "Where have_

_you been?" he demands, crossing his arms.

griiiiiiiiiins. He had seen it. "Out and about!"

resists face-palming with the grin. "So tormenting others in your current state?"

moves over to hug his leg, looking up at him as cute as he could. "Don't worry bruder~ I was good...mostly." He whispers the last part.

nearly melts at the cuteness. This was a level that he could not handle. Kittens and Feli combined could not be this cute. "G...good."

he could get away with murder. He wondered how far West would go. "Hey, Hey...I'm hungry." He tugs at his pants leg.

turns to go to the kitchen, but quickly stops, glaring at him. "What, not tall enough to reach the cabinets?"

him watery puppy eyes. "I might burn myself. Or drop the pan."

scoffs and gives him a dark look. "You were gone for two days, I think little ol' you can make himself something to eat. Isn't that right,_

_big boy?"

keeps giving the look. "People fed me."

crouches down so that he's at his level. "I'm not people."

hugs him more. "That's right, you're my bruder and I love you!"
