Standing up, Dante looked over at the two kids. "I'm going to make some tea to help wash this down. Do you two want anything? Milk? Hot chocolate?" he asked politely almost as if he were talking to his peers instead of two kids. And regardless of how much younger they were, they probably did want something to get the sticky substance down. However, he could tell that they probably needed to converse amongst themselves without him being there.
As he waited for the kids to answer, the blond removed one of the leather gloves from his hand. Tracing the lines on his hand, the blond closed his eyes as he appeared deep in thought. He needed to find a way to tell Soku and Shiri about this without them getting pissed at him. Though he was certain that Soku would blow his top anyway.
After all, the twins had no idea what he used to do, nor his past. And he was planning on keeping it that way. Perhaps someday, when the three of them agree on it when everything has faded into the past, but everything was too fresh. And with the self-proclaimed minister, Dante knew he had to keep a low profile.

Aaylii and Ashcer nodded and told Dante that they would like hot chocolate. They waited until he had left the room until they started to talk. Even though they were both so young they had this feeling which made them worry about staying here with Dante.
"He is nice but there is something strange about him."
"I know what you mean but he is generous so we should give him the benefit of the doubt."
"OK."
Aaylii turned back to the cat and started to stroke it every so gently scared that if something happened to the cat something would happen to them. Ashcer burnt another s'more and placed it in his mouth awaiting his hot chocolate.

"Damn, now where the hell is it?" he asked himself as he looked around a small cupboard in the back room. Sure he could go upstairs, but that would mean possibly explaining to his housemates why there are three cups of hot cocoa instead of just one. And he was sure that they wouldn't buy any of excuses.
"There it is," he smiled as he poured the instant powder into three mugs. Taking his wand out, the wizard filled the rest of the glasses with milk before using magic to heat up the liquid. "Don't see how people say entertaining kids is hard. This is the easiest gig I've ever had," he sighed as he placed the mugs on a small tray.
And I feel like such a girl, he thought to himself as he made his way back to the fire-pit and the two Gryffindors to be. Placing the tray down on a table, the wizard picked up one of the mugs before going back to his seat.
I hope these two kids don't think anything's up. Better yet, I hope they don't come across any of the old Society badges during their stay.

The twins grabbed their drink so fast it was as if the had super speed. They so needed a drink to allow the substance to go down their throat. Placing it on their lips they gulped half of it in one sip. Both of them were so very thirsty.
Placing down their mugs the two looked at each other and smiled before turning to Dante. Their luggage was yet to be transported as they were going to get it when safely arriving at the school. But obviously they hadn't really arrived yet and they couldn't do magic.

"Whoa," Dante laughed as he watched the two down half of their drinks in one go. It was actually quite amusing, and he knew to not get into a drinking contest with them once they were of age. Putting that aside he still thought it was quite funny to watch. Were the marshmallows really that sticky?
Hearing the twins practically finish a sentence, the blond's eyes widened before nodding. "Of course, where are they?" he asked. He always found it to be easier to do a summoning charm when he knew the location of whatever he was summoning. That way he was sure that he was getting the right items.
"So tell me a bit about yourselves," he requested politely.
Post by Aaylii & Ashcer on Jul 21, 2008 7:51:47 GMT -5
Ashcer thanked Dante for accepting to summon the items. Aaylii told Dante that their belongings were at their grandmothers hoping that was enough information. Ashcer still wasn't that sure and didn't want to give away that much.
But then he asked for them to talk about themselves. It looked like they would have to tell him. Or they could make up some lie. But then he wouldn't trust them and he wouldn't tell them anything. So Ashcer decided to say the truth.
"We are from a pureblood family. Gryffindor. First Year. Our parents were killed by someone they were trying to help. He kidnapped them and as they tried to get away he used the deadly curse on the. Our grandmother has been looking after us. And then the rest is still being written."
"You forgot that I write stories and draw pictures for them! But the rest is all true."
Aaylii was shocked she hadn't expected that Ashcer would tell him everything. She had expected that he would make something up. But it hadn't turned out that way had it.

Summoning the items to the upstairs apartment, Dante's eyes widened as Ashcer seemed to have told him a summary of their life story. "I'm sorry that all that happened to you two," he spoke after a few delayed moments to take in everything. He really didn't know what to say about that, he really wasn't the best person for words.
"But I guess it's fair that you know somethings about my past as well," he whispered. "I am a half-blood. My father being a wizard, and my mother a muggleborn. I am half Spanish, half Portuguese. Though both of my parents are alive as far as I know, I was raised by my grandparents. And it was there where I learned how to use my natural gift of shaping ice. I was somewhat involved in the recent War with several others. I opened up this place during the spring, but we recently had to repair some fire damage from a few months ago," he spoke calmly.
Well if he knew about them, they might as well know about him. Though he had to keep one fact hidden from them. But he was no longer involved with that particular alignment.

So that was what made them worry a bit. He had been in the recent war. Now they had nothing to worry about. Looking around the twins couldn't believe that this place recently had to be repared. It looked as if nothing had happened. They had done a good job building it back up.
"So you've had an adventure."
Ashcer glanced at his sister. She always spoke out of place and this annoyed him so much. His job as a brother was to look after his sister but then she always does something which could get her in trouble. Ashcer turned and smiled at Dante.

"Many, but most of them weren't to joyous, so I wish not to speak of them," he replied to Aaylii's question in his usual calm manner. Indeed they weren't and the inferi incident from a few month ago didn't help much either. But at least they got out of it alive and well. As well as the two students to his knowledge. Making note to get in contact with them again, he looked over toward Ashcer as he addressed him.
"Not entirely," he said honestly. "Two dear friends of mine help as well," he explained. "And you should be meeting them eventually. Considering they live here as well. But they are fun people to be around. A bit strange, but you two will get used to them," he smiled wanting to let Soku and Shiri introduce themselves.

The two twins felt the complete opposite with the answer to his question. Aaylii was disappointed as she had hoped it would be just the four of them, Aaylii, Ashcer, Dante and Amadis. However Ashcer was pleased with is as know there would be more people he could meet.
"I can't wait to meet them."
Aaylii didn't say anything. Instead she looked down at Amadis who had drifted off to sleep. She stopped stroking but it seemed that the cat awoke when she stopped. So she carried on to stroke the cat whilst saying nothing.

"Don't worry you will in due time,' the wizard smiled lightly before looking toward Aaylii. "There really isn't much to help with around here. So there's nothing to worry about," he shrugged before his eyes became filled with concern for the girl. "Are you alright Aaylii?" he asked with slightly wide eyes.
Did I say something wrong? he asked himself in a panic.
Post by Aaylii & Ashcer on Jul 21, 2008 9:00:06 GMT -5
Aaylii's body froze. She hadn't expected Dante know that there was something wrong. She didn't want to hurt his feelings. It wasn't nice and this man was being ever so nice to them. Instead of speaking Aaylii just shook her head and smiled at Dante allowing her eyes to sparkle.
Ashcer rolled his eyes at her but looked away anyways. He noticed that the s'more tray was still out and he took his chance to make another. He sat watching it burn until it was OK to eat. Placing it in his mouth Ashcer grabbed his hot chocolate and drank some with his food.
