The Heylan Brothers {Arafin, Sleipnir, Yoru and Itaku} "The gang's all here....whether we like it or not..."
Down the road, not too far from the house, a large white van lumbered innocently down the road. It had very few windows, the ones that actually existed were tinted darkly, so much in fact that none could see though to it's interior. On the inside in the driver and passenger seats sat to bear-like men; huge, muscular and, showing with a little time, pretty unintelligent. In the seatless back, however, four very different boys sat still, their arms bound in heavy chains. The tallest one looked up and peered through the front windows as much as possible before turning to the others. "We're almost there." He said, his voice soft yet held an air of authority, evident by how the others raised their heads a little more. "About time, could these guys drive any slower?" The one with eyes that flashed a dazzling yellow said, rather loudly as a smirk emerged on his face. The one sitting next to the yellow-eyed boy, the one with green hair, nudged him lightly. "Quiet, you got enough beatings back at the warehouse, you don't need one last one before our owners do it for them." He said in a hushed, somewhat blunt tone. The final boy, easily the smallest of them all, simply tried to look through the window, but the height of the front seats prevented him. "Ara? Do you think we'll be okay?" He asked, the tallest one turning his soft blue eyes to the boy and nodded. "I'm certain that things will be different." He said, not saying that he wasn't complete sure about that. Soon turning into the driveway and coming to a slow stop, the driver honked the horn twice, signalling for the inhabitants of the home to come outside and meet their new slaves. The men got out and opened the back doors, roughly pulling each boy out and standing them in a line, all of them anxiously awaiting to see who their new keepers were.

The Heylan Brothers {Arafin, Sleipnir, Yoru and Itaku} "The gang's all here....whether we like it or not..."
When the young girl appeared out of the front door, all four boys saw her immediately, all of them blinked. None of them had expected a mistress, especially one so young, but all of them simply kept quiet for now. Taking the money, the guard simply grunted and obliged, removing the chains from each set of hands. When the second girl left the house, Sleipnir was the first to notice her and raised an eyebrow. "Well hello there ladies. I gotta say, the two of you are much cuter than our escorts." He said with a grin, which resulted in Arafin sighing lightly and bowing to the girls. Yoru too bowed but Sleipnir remained standing, Itaku as well since he didn't know what to do. He had always followed the two older brothers, though it was often difficult as they were very different beings sometimes. I apologise for my brothers' mannerisms, sometimes he forgets who he should be showing respect towards." Arafin said, standing up normally again. As the guards lumbered off, back into the van and soon driving away, Ara began the standard introductions. "My name is Arafin, or Ara for short, I specialise in gardening, medicine and potion brewing." He then placed a hand on the shoulder of the boy with yellow eyes, the one who had called them cute. This is Sleipnir, or Slei. His specialty is mostly in armed and unarmed protection." Sleipnir simply winked at the girls and nodded. Continuing, Ara pointed to the one with green hair. "Our third youngest, Yoru, specialises in housekeeping and cleaning." Yoru bowed his head respectfully and offered a small smile towards them as Arafin finally pointed to the smallest of the four. "Our youngest brother is Itaku, or Ita. He's one of the best cooks you could have obtained through the warehouses." Itaku simply smiled and waved lightly. Once all the singular introductions were finished, all four boys bowed this time. "We are the Heylan brothers...and it is an honor to serve you." He said, Slei coughed a laugh, which caused Yoru to elbow him in the ribs lightly.

The Heylan Brothers {Arafin, Sleipnir, Yoru and Itaku} "The gang's all here....whether we like it or not..."
When Charlie spoke concerning Katelin, Arafin simply nodded and smiled lightly. "That won't be a problem from anybody. I make sure to keep my brothers in check and ensure they're behaving." He told her, although knew that none of them would do so anyway. Itaku tilted his head lightly, his gaze set on Katelin. She was roughly the same height as him, so he was a little glad about that. The thing with Ita was that he hated being short. When the others were his age they were still a lot taller than him, something they always liked to poke at to see him get agitated every now and then. Sleipnir grinned at Charlie once again, giving a slight shrug. "I look forward to it." He said, winking at her once more. Out of the four of them, Sleipnir was the one more likely to flirt with girls, just like now. It had gotten him into quite a bit of trouble in the warehouses, but he always found ways to keep doing so. Yoru was being particularly quiet for now, simply listening rather than speaking. That was his way, he wasn't going to speak much if anything to these girls until he knew that they weren't going to harm them in any way. As they followed to the house, Sleipnir caught Charlie glancing at him again and smirked. "I think I'm going to like this place." He whispered, although with their heightened sense of hearing, all three boys heard him clearly. Yoru simply facepalmed lightly while Arafin gave a light chuckle. Itaku was too busy trying to take in the sheer size of the house as they got closer to it.

The Heylan Brothers {Arafin, Sleipnir, Yoru and Itaku} "The gang's all here....whether we like it or not..."
All four brothers watched curiously as Julie walked on her hands. "A strange lot they are." Yoru said quietly, his gaze still in the direction the girls. "Strange or not, we just have to adjust. You know that already brother." Arafin said. "Either way, I doubt I'm going to make any complaints about living here." Sleipnir responded, the slight grin still left on his face, Yoru once again sighed in response to Slei's almost childish behavior. "I hope they have a big kitchen in here." Itaku chimed in. He loved cooking, there was no other way to put it. Sweet, savoury, breakfast, dinner, hot, cold, as long as it could be eaten, Itaku would make it or learn how to in a heartbeat. Arafin smiled andput a hand on his little brother's head. "Calm down little one, I'm sure it'll be proportionate to the size of the house." He said, Itaku frowned slightly and slapped his hand away in response to the term 'little one', both Ara and Slei chuckled lightly. "So, that one, Charlie..." He said softly, nodding towards the girl he had flirted with, who was now a fair distance away. "How long do you think before I start getting to her?" He asked, 'getting to her' in his temrs meaning before his flitacious behavior starts working on her. Yoru looked up to the sky for a moment, as if calculating in his head. "Exactly ten minutes after the second eternity." He said, to which Arafin laughed lightly, Sleipnir simply scowled and patted Yoru hard on the back. "Funny. Keep it up and I'll have a new punching bag by the end of today."

The Heylan Brothers {Arafin, Sleipnir, Yoru and Itaku} "The gang's all here....whether we like it or not..."
As the banter between Yoru and Sleipnir continued, Yoru giving quick and perfectly timed insults that only Arafin really understood, Slei offering a cheerful threat of unique beatings and punishments as a rebuttle. As the four entered the house, Ara spied the girls and bowed his head lightly. "If I may, for what purpose do you intend to use us for m'ladies? We may have our seperate skills, but they're useless if we don't know what we're supposed to be doing." Itaku nodded in agreement. "Do you need someone to cook? Please say you need someone to cook." He said, obviously eager to find a kitchen of some sort soon. It had been so long since he last touched raw ingredients. Flour, sugar, condiments, anything that made a mess was what he was truly desiring. Sleipnir stretched and gave a loud yawn. "More importantly, do you have enough room for all of us? We can sleep on stone floors just fine, but I think I speak for the rest of us when I say having a bed would be great." He said, placing his hands behind his head. Yoru once more remained quiet, idly examining the girls carefully. He never did like going into the unknown, preferring to be organised, coordinated and to have everything planned out flawlessly. That was generally why he was designated with cleaning and sorting, being a bit of a neat freak as he was. However, the thought of maybe gathering some materials for sketching also crossed his mind, he had a picture all thought up, just not the right tools to bring it into existence.

The Heylan Brothers {Arafin, Sleipnir, Yoru and Itaku} "The gang's all here....whether we like it or not..."
Sleipnir watched as Charlie was the first to leave the room, something was up, he could tell, but had very little idea as to what. With a shrug, he joined the other boys as they listened to Katelin. The two older brothers basically towered over her in comparison, but their friendly facial expressions almost completely removed any intimidation factor that they had, Slei being the exception due to the large scar that hadn't fully healed, a particularly nasty reminder from their last owners who they had had been dealing with. Yoru and Itaku were much shorter than them, Yoru only a few inches taller than the youngest siblings of the two families. Simultaneously nodding, their attention shifting to J.J and Julie as they re-entered the room. Arafin nodded lightly and gestured for the girls to lead the way, all four boys somewhat tired from the the long trip, although they didn't really show the fatigue. In truth, they would have been quite content with just using couches or sleeping on the floor, but they wouldn't complain about the fact that they had proper rooms to sleep in. "Do we get seperate rooms? Or do I have to put up with Ita's snoring?" He asked cheerfully, causing Itaku to go red slightly out of embarrassment and nudge his brother. Arafin chuckled a little and Yoru gave a small smile, all of them knew that Itaku snoring was a rare occaision, but when it happened it sounded quite similar to a lawnmower in terms of volume and consistency. Ara never had a problem with it, since he could be a pretty heavy sleeper, but the middle two often got close to simply waking the boy up immediately when it started. "Now now, no need for that...and whatever you have for us will be fine regardless." Arafin said, personally liking the idea of a seperate bedroom. As much as he cared for his brothers, it was nice to have a little alone time every now and then.

The Heylan Brothers {Arafin, Sleipnir, Yoru and Itaku} "The gang's all here....whether we like it or not..."
Nodding, Yoru and Itaku followed Julie and Katelin silently as Arafin and Sleipnir went with J.J, taking note of where their rooms would be. Hearing that their rooms would be near hers and Charlie's, Slei raised an eyebrown and looked at Ara, who simply shook his head as if to say 'don't say anything, just walk'. Obliging, he looked at the two doors J.J had pointed out, biting his lip lightly in thought. "I call this one." He said quietly, taking off to the door across from Charlie's, careful not to say or do anything loud enough to wake her. With a small shrug, Arafin opened the door to the remaining one and gave a curious glance inside. The room was definitely nicer than their previous one, he smiled lightly, greatful for the change. Meanwhile, Yoru and Ita followed curiously until they reached the other doors. Yoru caught Julie's smile and turned his head subtly. From the corner of his eye, he saw the other at the other end of the hall. Was something going on? He didn't know, which was what he didn't like. Because he was slow to trust, he figured they were planning something, it would only be a matter of time before that something would become evident. Itaku, however, was preoccupied with selecting his room, opening one of the unoccupied ones and almost gasping. "Woah..." He said under his breath, instantly awestruck at it's magnificence. Spotting the bed, he immediately rushed over to it and jumped, landing on his back and bouncing momentarily, laughter soon followed. Yoru took the remaining one, entering silently and looking around. It looked nice enough, but he was still convinced that there was something off, like everything seemed too perfect. Deciding not to say anything for now and leaving the room, he turned to Julie and bowed thankfully, still refraining from talking to her directly.
{I'm afraid I gotta go for >.< I'll be back to post a little later hopefully ^.^}
