Aven had just entered the hollow family, as a new member he was probably mostly the main talk of conversations. That was to be expected, after all he was new to them in every way/ aspect of him. Although he was in human form for physical looks, he still looked different, he had long, white, curly hair. His eyes were of a exotic color, he looked like his beauty was chiseled from a sculpture. 

After he just entered the family, he noticed they had assigned him some guards, he raised a brow to that, but nodded.

As he was shown around, he was introduced to some of the other members, that they had walked past. He respectfully said his hellos, then suddenly he looked up when his attention was directed down the hall towards the view out the huge window. 

As he looked, he noticed a figure blocking part of the view, although he didn't mind, she was beautiful to him, even though the sun light was a bit bright, he liked the way the sun kissed her figure, shining on her features. 

"Oh, that is klejnot, she is very well known here, I'm sure you will be able to get to know her in your own time… Klejnot, this is one of our new members Aven.. Make sure you guys give him a warm welcome to the family." The name said. 

Aven just bowed and gave a respective hellos, and followed his personal guard to his own room. 

As he finally went into his room to settle in, he noticed his room was a bit big, not that he hated it or anything, if anything he found it refreshing, being quite spacious. The balcony doors made him smile, as he looked out onto the yard outside, seeing the sun had shown its colors among nature itself. 

"What is it boss?" His personal bodyguard asked. 

"Ah it's nothing… are you two settled?" He asked his personal secretarial person and two guards. 

"Good, try not offend anyone just yet, we are still a bit new, so try and be on your best behaviour. Understand?" He stated. 

"Yes sir." They said at the same time. 

"Boss, is there anything you want to do before we start doing our new daily tasks?" Anna asked. 

"Yes… Let's go make some refreshments, maybe we can get someone to loosen up enough to tell us where we can find a Carpenter, or a furniture store around." He said softly. 

"Ooo… That sounds like a good idea, boss I miss your delicious food." Anna cheered. 

"Mmmh, then let's go." He said, so seriously, but his voice was a bit low and deep. 

Aven taking the lead out of the room, following the way he was shown previously by the leader himself, he walked past some of the other family members, but kept his distance and just nodded.

Walking past a room full of ladies, that seemed to be having a tea party, giggling, and shouting loudly, he heard them gasp, but instead of stopping, he kept on walking towards the kitchen. 

As he turned the corner, he saw the entrance to the kitchen, he smiled. He noticed no one seemed to be in there, at least for now, he also noticed there was an entrance to a garden and such, he smiled, as Anna cheered. 

Aven entered, and began to go through the pantry and the cooler room, he had Anna and himself, take what they needed. He then had the two bodyguards do their usual work routine, knowing Anna alone could handle most, strong opponents, if not then he could handle it himself as well.  Aven then took off his sweater, revealing his black tank top, revealing his muscular arms and muscular body from under his shirt. He then put his hair in a ponytail to get it out of the way, as finished he then began to work on his ingredients, keeping to himself in the kitchen. Anna held his sweater watching him make what he was making. 

As he began to cook up, the fragrance began to swirl out into the halls, like perfume being moved into the noses of others, appealing to them. He finished a flower like fruit cookie. Then he began to make up a strawberry chocolate moose like cup, he then began to make up some refreshing tea and coffee. As he finished, he then cleaned up his mess, he didn't realize but he made more than his usual. Anna giggled from the side, as she helped him clean up his mess. As he turned, he then saw her again, he raised a brow, but left a portion for her and winked.

He knew leaving klejnot a portion of what he made would be good, she deserved it anyway. He then put his sweater back on and let his hair down. As he was leaving the kitchen, he had Anna deliver the sweets through out the members keeping portions for himself, Anna and the other bodyguards that were assigned to him. 

As he went back to his room, leaving the door open, Anna and the other bodyguards, came to the room to eat with him. 

"Sir, this is really good, thank you for this treat." One of the other bodyguards said. 

"Boss, is good to those who are good to him, he dishes out what he Receives. I am always by his side, and he is by mine." Anna said cheerfully, Aven nodded to her. 

"Sir, if you don't mind me asking, how long have you two been friends?" One of them asked. 

"Since I was a child, Anna and I have a special relationship, she is like my sister." Aven stated the truth. 

"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm not minding my own business." Stated one of the bodyguards. 

"Ah no it's fine… Anna and I are just like siblings, if you are wondering, am I courting her? No I'm not, our relationship isn't like that… We lost our real families along time ago, so she asked to come with me and since I treat her like a sister she has been by my side every since… Nothing more ...nothing less." Aven said as he took a bite of a cookie. 

"I work for him, boss, this fruit is good… Next time can we add like a chocolate syrup on top?" Anna asked. 

"Mmmh.. Sounds reasonable.. By the way, we really need to finish a way to make this room have furniture." He stated, as someone knocked on the door frame. 

As a woman knocked on the door frame, the two bodyguards stood up, put their bowl at their side, Aven used a hand signal to have them sit back down and eat. They nodded their thanks, as they began to talk to Anna.

"You must be Aven, the new member. Nice to meet you, I heard you were looking for a Carpenter and a furniture store? I can help.. But I need something from you." The woman said walking towards him. 

Anna quickly stood up, and stood next to Aven with a serious tone, she then eat idly, but kept her eyes on the woman. 

"And just what do you need from me?" Aven asked, as he looked back at her from the balcony. 

"Why don't you sleep with me for a month, and I can help you with whatever you need." She said, as Anna snorted. 

"I don't think you can afford that offer." Anna stated for Aven, as the lady looked a bit insulted. 

"Why is that?" The woman asked. 

"Because the backing you have for his ambitions is a bit too low, that's the first issue… Second.. My master isn't of cheap reputation to sleep with a woman to get what he wants.. Thirdly, whores like you aren't worth the fight to offend." Anna stated, as the woman walked towards her and tried to slap her, but Avens hand was there in an instant. 

"You dare to insult me like this… Trash like you should just stay in the trash where you belong." The woman said harshly. 

"You did ask.. Did you not? If you aren't a whore then why are you presenting yourself as one? She only stated the obvious, she is my person to reprimand, not yours… I never make smalls deals to sleep with a cheap woman for furniture… I can just find it myself… No need to come here to pretend to be generous.. When you have evil intentions.. I'm afraid you can't afford to offend me… Understood? Anyone who puts a hand on me or my people will have to compensate me.. With either money or their life… You choose.." He stated in a cold voice, as Anna said hmph and ate the rest of her cookie. 

"That also goes for those two bodyguards… I choose them as my family.. If it's okay with them." Anna said, as the two bodyguards gasped in shock but nodded. 

Aven then kept his hand firmly on the woman's wrist, and then threw her out. 

"Since Anna insists, I will give you a chance.. What are your names?" Aven asked softly. 

"Ah I'm John, and he is my twin brother Alex." John said. 

"Yay!!! More family members… Thank you big brother. Oh I mean boss.." She cheered but quickly went back to being his underling as she cleared her threat. 

He chuckled, shaking his head, he went to his desert, like the taste this time for once, he then wondered when was the best time to meet klejnot, she seemed busy. 

"Uh, boss.. I know where we can go find a furniture shop, he also is a furniture maker, as long as you tell him the specifics, he can make it for you, and be is always on point." Alex said, as Aven nodded.

"Good, after we eat, we go check this man out.. Thank you.. If he is as good as you say, I will give you something for helping me out.. As long as it is within my means I will get you whatever you wish." Aven said, as Alex nodded and finished his bowl.

An hour later they were in the car, going to see this man, following Alex's directions, he noticed today was beautiful, the streets were not all that crowded. As the drove down the road, taking the last left, that was instructed, he finally saw the little shop. 

Getting out of the car, John opened the door for him, as Anna followed, along with Alex. John shut the door and followed as well. 

As the entered, a man came out and bowed, as Aven and the rest bowed back in respect. Aven could tell this man was talented, seeing the wood work that this man had down, on full display. Yeah Alex did him a good deed, he would do well to reward

Alex. 

"What can I help you with?" The man asked Aven. 

"If I asked you to do some personal pieces, and I paid you a fortune, would you do it?" Aven asked. 

"Depends on the design, and if it's within my means, sure, I will try my best, I can't say it will be perfect." The man stated. 

"Well trying is better than nothing, if you can't then I will still pay for compensation, for the waste of wood work." Aven stated. 

"Wow, that's.. You are better than most buyers… Alright I will see what I can do sir." The man said. 

Aven nodded and handed him a few papers of his woodwork drawings, the man gasped, then looked back at Aven. John, Alex, and Anna went to check it out, as they gasped. 

"Sir, this is.. This is amazing work.. Yes I can do this.. You don't have to pay me, as long as you become my artist, and I will personally help you in the underground world." The man said. 

"Deal." Aven said with a smile. 

"Good, just give me your information and let me know when you want this made by." The man said. 

"Okay, just have it finished within the end of the week, and just take this." Aven said, handing him a piece of paper. 

He then left, so the man could do his work, and Aven could get started on his own as well, he would reward Alex really well, he did a good favor for him, so he would repay the man. 

A couple of days later, Aven was sitting in the garden under the tree, playing the zither a bit. It was a bit breezy, it was perfect for playing the zither, as his fingers brushed against the stringers, he noticed a figure watching him. As he looked up it was no other than klejnot. 

"Sir, is that the rumored klejnot?  She is so pretty, and very well versed in a lot of things, I heard she helped the boss move a huge shipment.. Then she helped a few of the donation parties they had.. She seems amazing." John stated. 

Anna sat not too, from him as she ate nuts and fruits with Alex, next to john. Aven had put his hands over the strings, stopping the vibrations as he then went to pour some tea for her. In case she wanted to join, he then went back to playing the zither as he sang a bit. 

Most people who met him, either kept their distance or fought him, he wondered what kind of relationship he would have with klejnot. This time, he wore of Chinese clothing, it was pants, a few layers of soft white cloth and silk, they were white, and purple. His wore a white soft scarf around his neck, hanging over his shoulders.

The band around his waist was a bit unusual, but it seemed beautiful. His clothing were usually of a different culture, it was he was. 

His hair was long, and curly, the top was braided intricately.  Purple like hair jewelery in his braids. As his eyes, looked down what the strings of the zither, he gave a small smile, waiting to see if miss klejnot would come and meet him, or would he have to go meet her.

Aven sighed, seeing that klejnot wasn't coming towards, he smirked at her, as he looked her with his own exotic looking eyes. His pupils dilated a bit, today his eyes were a color blue almost a silver blue, as it changed to a greenish gold, as it spread out towards the whites of his eyes. He loved her white hair, qs he played softly for her, he let a smile curve at the corner of his lips. 

"Anna." He called softly. 

"Yes boss." She called back. 

"Go bring this tea to misd klejnot, and politely ask her if she would like to join me, oh and take john and Alex to go get some sweets for yourselves so not to scare the nice lady." He ordered softly as she nodded. 

As he continued to play, going a bit softer, the breeze lightly blew through his white, loose strands of curly hair. He looked and saw Anna taking the chamomile tea, politely inviting her to come over. 

"Miss, Aven would like to know if you would join him for tea and conversations.. Ah I'm Anna by the way.. Uh my boss may look scary, but he is actually like a big teddy bear, anyway, if thr bodyguards scare you, they will be going away for the time being so you can relax.. That's only if you want... " She bowed and set the tea next to korjnot and giggled. 

It had been awhile since he had played any instrument, as watched her, he played thr zither. She looked beautiful, to others her dress was simple, but to him, she looked colorful. He realized, like him, she was probably often misunderstood, tooken for granted, she made him curious. 

As the sun shown through thr cloudy sky, down onto his face, his skin was a bit darker than most of the people around. Although he kept his distance, for her he realized she was different, and he would have to take it slow. He wondered if she had a hard life, or if she kept things all to herself. As he watched her, he noticed she seemed a big relaxed and tensed all at once. He had a feeling she was abit like him, self secluded hard working, probably over worked, but she seemed to have a softness about her that madd him want to see her fully relaxed and laughing, but for now he would take it slow. 

He could tell she seemed a bit nervous by crowds just as he was, but she seemed a bit even more so on edge than he. He didn't make a move just yet, he let her come to him, and as she came to him, he watched her, just incase she fell, he would be there to catch her.  Then he looked at her curiously, as she stood a bit away from him, she seemed a bit unsure of what to do. He was sure that these reactions of hers was due to her most likely being shy, and her having some kind of trauma that made her scared of crowds like this, but he wasn't going to ask, nor was he going to pry. Now wasn't the time, for now he needed to take it slow, and allow her fo come to him on her own. 

"Haha, I only stumbled upon this place after I came back from doing a few things... Like you I like peaceful places like this... Maybe some time in the near future we can look for other places like this." He spoke softly. 

Seeing her finally relax a little, enough to drink the tea he offered, he winked at her, like two days ago when he left her that sweet dish for her. As he came to the end of the melody, he let thr note finish, and then he put his hands over the strings stopping any further vibrations. 

He thenpoured himself some tea, then took a sip, as he looked up at the sky, seeing time changing the colors, he found it very beautiful, he then set his tea down, and looked back at her. 

"Ah where are my Manners... I'm sorry if I seem a bit scary, that isn't my intention...." He paused, keeping his voice soft not wanting her to run off like most people.  "Listen, if you feel like you are over whelmed or you want to get away... Just come up to my room on the top floor, it's pretty quiet there... No one will bother you there....except me of course or Anna.. Ah those two bodyguards are harmless... They won't hurt you or anything... Uh... If they seem to over whelm you then let me know and I can have them go jump in a, lake or something." He said, teasing her at the end. 

Listening to soft voice form sentences was a bit cute, looked over at her, as she seemed to speak a bit carefully, but she seemed a bit relaxed, that's what he wanted from her. He nodded at her comment to the quiet places, he would most likely learn a lot from her about the inviroment they lived, after all he wasn't from here, maybe some day if she felt comfortable enough with him, he would ask her to show him around. Then as he listened to her last comment, he snorted, he could tell she was teasing him back, he gave her a full on smile shaking his head. 

"I wanted to ask, since I'm new to this, what do we do for our active family duties, I mean what are the ways we can contribute.. I don't know.. Maybe I'm not asking the right questions." He gave a light chuckle. 

Aven felt a bit nervous himself, he wasn't used to such kind people, or how they handled himself, this place was completely different than where he had come from. So this time he would to learn before he made a move, it might be better for him, he then took a sip of his tea and set it down. 

As she began to speak, he listened to every word, she said, just incase it would come in handy one day. As she said those things, it kinda reminded him of where he came from, it was mostly the same concept from where he came from. So what she was saying made sense for him, he took another sip of his tea, and set it down, nodding in acknowledgement to what she was saying. 

"I would very much like that, the docks at high noon, sounds interesting... Should I bring anything?" He asked at the end. 

Seeing her get up, wiping the small after math off her clothes, keeping clean, he then did the same to himself, making sure no dust or anything got onto his own clothes. Then he thought about his last question and thought maybe he didn't need to bring anything except himself of course. 

Then Anna came up and started to put the stuff away, taking his instrument and other things away, as he then turned back to Klejnot, he gave a soft smile and a nod. 

"I will be there then, until next time klejnot." He spoke softly, walking away to do his own daily activities.
