The day was like any other, really. Cole was awake at the crack of dawn, attacking Azahr for a good deal of that morning, before going up to the main house. Breakfast, where he sat and ate those strawberry pancakes, that the new chef grew to learn how to make perfectly for Cole's liking. Extra strawberry syrup and whipped cream. Scarfing a good four of the fluffy cakes, Cole rushed off to start training with Joel. The twins finally learned how to fight fair and no hair pulling. Well, on Joel's part, he stopped pulling Cole's hair and Cole stopped flicking Joel's nose.

"Ever tell you that you hit like a girl?" Joel smirks as he rounded the boxing ring. Towel around his shoulders as he looks back at his twin.

"I won't." Stepping down the stairs, Gage grins at Joel and folds his arms, giving Cole a wink before glancing back to Joel.

"So funny.. Oh, Gage is going to get you!" Slipping out of the ring, Cole grabs his own towel and can't help himself with snapping it at Joel's legs. When Joel jumps and starts yelling, Gage chuckling, that's Cole's cue to exit stage left. Out he ran, towel wrapped around his own shoulders, hands move back to lift too long auburn hair from under it.

Cole remembered that day at the Inn, when he talked to Hina , when he found out that she had a daughter and was also in a bit of trouble. He kept his eye on the gate since then, waiting for when she might show up. He should of just given her the code to the gate, so she wouldn't have to wait for it to be opened, he would do that when she visited.

Next stop is the pool. That is where Cole can usually be found if he is so called 'missing', the pool is a place that calms the little tornado of energy. A good long swim would do the trick, so that poor Azahr and everyone else wouldn't have a whirlwind, named Cole, all over them all and causing trouble.

Black. He has taken to wearing darker colors lately, so he is in his black and red swim trunks. And wearing the markings on his neck rather proudly. Marks from what? Nobody's business unless he decides to say. Never mind the other various markings on his body, usually his back, scratch marks. Perhaps.

And a good swim later, Cole is running through the house, to the porch and down the pathway back to the guest house, where his sweetie is. However, olive greens land on the gate, and the girl behind it.

"Hina!" Cole laughs and is quick to rush, all the way down that pathway, which you might need a car to do it without dying. Once to the gate, he is quick to put in the code and smiles at Hina. "You came!" He would hug her, but now he realizes he is soaking wet.

"Come on in." White towel pulled from his shoulders and getting himself as dry as possible, because of course Hina will be hugged just as soon as he knows he won't get her soaked too.

"I was wondering when you might show up. I'm glad you did. How are things? The kids? Everything okay about that guy? No more trying to hunt you down?" And here comes the millions of questions, but really, it is Cole worried about her. "Tell me everything is okay.." Hand reaching out, and a dry arm with it, to wrap for Hina's shoulders. "Do you need anything?"

It had been such a great day, except for the parts where Cole was elsewhere but that was to be expected sometimes. While Cole did his other things, Azahr studied, read and tried to make sense of that internet thing. It was as insightful as scrying and about as difficult to get back what you really wanted to see. And some things that turned up on those search things, oh my. Just .. oh my.

So after a while it was off to try to find Cole for a surprise 'boo' and see if he could really actually sneak up on Cole. And it didn't look to be too hard because as he was coming out of the house, he saw Cole sprinting off toward the gate. At first the elf thought maybe Cole was playing a game of some sort but when he didn't stop or come back, Azahr had to rethink. For lack of anything else to do, he finally decided to follow.

And finally arrived about the time a female started crying.

Oh.. oh dear.

Azahr didn't want to interrupt but then again he didn't want to be rude and walk away either. So he stood there looking a little befuddled with eyes going from Cole to the woman and back; rather helpless really. What is a guy to do when a woman starts crying?

Ice cream, sweets, brownies, hell even a drink sounded like a great idea in her mind. Even as she nodded in greeting to Azahr she was wiping her eyes and pushing back the tears. Other than keep Cole guessing Hina spoke up,? Marek isn?t in the picture anymore?? She guessed it was enough of a hint. A pang came as she thought of Janan not being brought along, again she figured it should have been done, but Hina wasn?t thinking.

?Brownies sound great? Ice cream too? Hell how about the whole bout of it.? A sniffle came, but that was the last time any sign of tears would surface. Shaking her head of the whole mess, there was no point in crying over something that she knew wasn?t working to begin with. She shifted in her spot to let Cole reach for his sweet heart. A faint smile blossomed,? Yup, I remember you telling me about him. But honestly, he?s cuter than you said in the Inn.?

Hina had to be honest, and a bit flattering sometimes. At least she tried to be when the opportunity came around. As soon as that smile had appeared it had vanished. Her eyes turned towards the house and she sighed,? I?ve missed this place? I mean, I visit CZK at least once a week, but this place?? Another wave of guilt. How much had she missed?

Curiosity was beginning to spark in the girl as she turned about to look up to the much taller than her Cole,? Oliver still here right? I think that?s what you said. As well as bunny boy? He got the head off right?? She wasn?t sure she wanted to be around the smell of that bunny head if she was eating brownies. Either way, bunny head + Ashton = Funny/Scary/Something else.

"Oh, I'm sorry.." More frowning and his arm curls tightly around Hina's shoulders. "Sometimes things just don't work out. Find that everything happens for a reason. At least, that is what I'm told." Brows knit together and a shake of his head. "I can't remember who said it, sounds like Dean or Jaden to me." Small laugh and another squeeze of Hina's shoulders.

His sweetie is given a wink, fingers still twined with the elf's as they walk. Cole even starts to tug on that skinny elf to get him closer. Things happen for a reason indeed, look at the love Cole has right next to him. "Skinny." Murmured to Azahr, Cole always knows that mentioning how skinny Azahr is usually riles him up and gets Azahr talking.

"Brownies, ice-cream, cake, drinks, we can get it all." Cole smiles back at Hina and nods. "Anything. I'm all about getting some sweets. We can sit in the living room and pig out." Glancing up at the house, never know what is going on up there. At any moment a streaker could run by, you can be bombed with flour-bombs, even wolves running out in the distance at night.. many things happened here. And all seemingly normal to the brothers.

"Azahr is very cute. I didn't do him any justice when we were talking about him. He's beautiful." Even with Azahr right there, he will fully admit that his sweetie is gorgeous. Fingers leave Azahr's hand, to go around the elf's waist instead and give him a cuddle.

Cole kept ushering the two to the main house, finally there! He let's them both go to climb up the steps and get on the porch, door pushed open, but he rests on the frame while they are still talking. "I haven't been over to the CZK house in forever. Everything going okay over there? And you know that you are always welcome here, Hina. You are like family, like I said to Azahr, and I mean it. We all feel that way. You, Rhy, Jade, Lyren.. we love you girls." Smiling as he speaks.

As Hina says that name, Oliver, Cole looked through the doorway into the house and almost waited for Oliver to appear, he seemed to do that when his name is said. "He is here, yeah. Might be in the kitchen, baking. Or upstairs messing with that troll like thing that lives in the attic. He likes to get him drunk and stoned. The little troll seems to like it too." Shrug of his shoulders, turning his head to look back at the two. "He is only this big." Lifting his fingers, showing that the troll is only a few inches in height, but he can still hold his liquor well and even out-drinks some of the brothers.

"Ashton still gets that bunny head stuck." Laughing. "Azahr hasn't met Ashton or Oliver yet, have you baby? I think you saw Ash run by naked with just the bunny head on, but didn't actually say hello."

Pushing from the frame, he heads inside and motions for Azahr and Hina to follow.
