Welcome to Gaia! ::

"...I'll try to explain everything a little later. Here." Knowing full and well this would end badly, Aden went to help the boy up. "Her house can't be that far now. Let's just go, alright?"

"Uh... sorry, I'll keep quiet." It went just as he had thought. He kept himself quiet until he got to the house's door, knocking it. "Are you two still there? I'm back."

"Guess my form's unstable here. Go out of the flowers, I'm scrawnier than I was over a year ago. Go into the flowers... I think the boy you sent me to get's had his brain broken a little." Aden shrugged. "I don't see how I was sent muscle, though. He makes it sound like I'm out to get him."

"You know. I could actually try and use some of this 'muscle' that was sent for you." Aden spoke up. "But it won't accomplish much more than scaring you and probably everyone else but the one that sees me as a superhero."

His eyes didn't divert from the boy looking away. "Look, if you don't like her, that's fine. I can't force that, they can't either. But you can't tell them they don't belong or anything like that if you won't even give them the chance. In a way, I'm kinda responsible for the dirt being thrown in the first place. It's hard to explain." What came next might've stood a chance of striking home. "You had a rough time not too long ago, didn't you?"

"Sorry, wasn't meaning to open anything back up." Maybe he should watch it... sure, he knew three of these four better than they knew him, but it wasn't entirely like what he had realized. "But that time, whatever happened? It's not you fault. If you want to take things out on someone, I'll be that one in some way or another. I'll leave it at that. My point is, you four are together for a reason. One wanting nothing to do with another's going to have an effect on everyone else. I'm probably here because I needed to know that myself, instead of being so quick to go to offense."

He still hadn't written out the possibility that this was still a divine prank. "You seem to have no problems tolerating the other two boys. So what's wrong with tolerating a third, even if that third one's a girl?"

"It's... gonna take time. I just don't want to see someone else find out the hard way that trying to do things alone, or at least only with those you know will only go so far." Aden said. "I have a sister who tried to do that. She wanted to work on two sides at once. Blew up in her face something fierce. I almost went after her alone one of those times. So I do know what might be going through your mind, if only a little."

"That's probably not a bad idea..." Now that he thought about it, it was a tad cramped in here. Two people? No problem. Three? Pushing things, but fine. Five? He wasn't sure if there was any room left.

His mind had gone to other issues, though. Was things really set in motion to possibly improve, or this been a futile effort? And if this was done for such efforts, maybe he hadn't truly succeeded. He spoke low, in hopes of keeping the four from hearing him. "Now if there was some way to get back from here..."
