Mother knows best [Tyuki]

A fist slammed against the leather punching bag, creating the dent within it for a moment as it swung back in an arc, before swinging back into the powerful fist. This went on for a few more moments, his fists slowly growing red as they hit the incredibly durable punching bag. Beams of sunlight coursed through the windows that peeked into the room, shining upon the blonde male garbed in a simple tank top and gym shorts. Rapidly slamming fists into the punching bag would swing faster, chain that bound it creaking loudly as if the strain of the force were slowly becoming too great and with one powerful punch it was sent careening onward. The bag slid along the gym floor, shattering the wooden finish, and stopping after a few feet of sliding. Another small amount of damage done to the Hale mansions workout room, and another reason for Arianna to gripe at Brandon.

The blonde grumbled lightly as he looked at the trail of slight destruction that was created by the punching bag, and then walked over to it, hefting it over his shoulder and tossing it into the corner. With a loud thud it landed, and Brandon walked from the room with a heavy sigh emanating from his lips. Aaron stood at the threshold of the doorway, a wry expression decorating his face as he looked his twin within the eyes for a second. He was dressed in a simple white t-shirt and plaid pajama pants, ones that drooped slightly past his ankles, yet he did not trip over them.

”Have you seen a tome of mine?” He asked with a raised brow, perhaps having asked everyone else since it was just now that he was asking him.

’You come to me asking about a book? No, I don’t know where this tome of yours is. Maybe Silus borrowed it or something, since you kind of let him do that whenever he wants.” Brandon noted with a rather sarcastic sounding tone, slightly toned arms crossing over his chest as he considered his twins question for a second. Silus seemed like the bookish type, so him borrowing it did not seemed too far off from the realms of possibility. Running fingers along the bridge of his nose, Aaron shook his head.

”Guess you’re right, I did say the little Sean spawn could borrow any book anytime that he wanted.” Aaron admitted as he felt something, the feel of the enchantment about the house. ”Were you expecting someone? I thought you and that Pat character had your game night last night, well and into this morning.”

”Can’t be him, he’s sleeping in the guest bedroom.” Brandon answered wondering who exactly would want to visit the mansion, other than another potential damn suitor.

A familiar rhythm tapped along the front door of the Hale mansion, Arianna perking up slightly as her own connection with the house seemed to pick up on that. The blonde would rise from her recliner within the living room and then made her way to the front door, where someone seemed to be knocking. Fingertips brushed over the doorknob once before she would twist it and then open the door. Looking to the female that was standing upon her threshold, Arianna considered where she had seen this face before. It was one that was slightly well known, but she could not tell from where. ”Well you must be one of Brandon’s friends.” She would say lightly stepping aside and turning towards her son who was reclined against a wall within the hallway.

”Hello.” Aaron said with a certain pleasant tone within his voice, smirking lightly as he pushed off of the wall and then walked onward with his twin only a few steps behind. While the smaller of the two males had met Tyuki before, Bandon had never done so, perhaps only having heard about her occasionally from Aaron. All that he knew was that she was a friend with him and Sean while they were still together and whatever, though now she was mostly only his friend, considering that Sean did not really talk with either anymore. ’It’s been a while Tyuki.”

”So this is Tyuki?” Arianna asked with a surprised tone, perhaps not expecting to have a famous j-pop star walking through her front door.’Well by all means come in.” She noted ushering her in with a wave of her hand. Brandon offered a hand to the pop star to shake, giving the usual friendly grin.

”Hi.”

Aaron was taken aback by the embrace, but did not react too negatively, a small smile forming upon his lips as he attempted to pull himself back and press out a few wrinkles that had formed within his shirt. It appeared that the female was trying to impress his mother and that more than anything was a good idea, since she styled herself the matron of the household. ”Indeed, I don’t think I can remember the last time I’ve seen you.” Aaron noted playing with the words for a second, before turning his attention to Brandon who was mid way into offering a hand shake when the female bowed to him.

The male chuckled awkwardly to himself before letting the hand fall awkwardly to his side and returned the bow, a little embarrassed. The mention of this Nathaniel caused the Hale matriarch to raise a brow before nodding understandingly.  ”Think nothing of it dear, it’s so rare that we have a friend of Aaron’s over. It’s…a welcome relief from the usual.” Not that the female was bothered by Brandon’s nearly constantly having someone over, but a change in company was always welcome, or at least a change within the people that walked into her home.

”Fun? Depends on what you call fun Tyuki.” Aaron would answer, catching Brandon before he could open his mouth to say anything. ”We have a few things around here to do, and my brother does have quite the…collection of games.”

"Yeah, I have a whole shelf about this tall full of them.” Brandon would say raising one arm upwards, adding its height to his own, and only slightly exaggerating the truth. ”I also have like a weight room full of…stuff.”

Aaron smirked at the prospect that the female could beat him in the game, though it had been proven on multiple occasions that she could. ’We’ll see.” Aaron muttered pleasantly, though things had quickly moved to something about lifting, which was Brandon’s domain of things. If anyone could do a large amount of heavy lifting it eas his brother, though when it came to a heavy mental load he was somewhat short. The Asian female looked rather small to be interested in lifgitng weights, but Brandon could not assume anything, considering that she was a friend of Sean’s during his superhero days, which meant maybe she had some kind of superhuman something. If anything, maybe she had cool strength that would let her throw weights around like nothing.

”Hellz yeah.” Brandon whooped in response to the whole asking if he lifted part, that usual dumb grin forming upon his face as he lead the female to the gymnasium. The gymnasium was a rather large area in the mansion with a large assortment of weights scattered about on their appropriate receptacles. ”We should have like a little contest, of strength or whatevs.” Brandon offered stepping ahead then turning to look at Tyuki.

Arianna glanced over a tome, having already senses the presence of another within her homes range. She was for the moment nestled within her office, letting Brandon and Aaron entertain their guest at the moment, until the other guest made themselves apparent to her. A rather familiar face from a time long ago, or rather a couple of decades ago, when she was a much different person. Her lips curled into a rather hard to read expression, a low sigh emanating from her as she slowly closed the tome.

’Nathanial, what brings you here? I’m sure it isn’t a simple courtesy call.” While her words were not the friendliest she motioned for him to enter. ”Well regardless of reasons, come in.”

Brandon’s eyes scanned around the gym, looking over everything that was scattered about it, the multiple weights and things of that nature. He knew that Aaron would not join the little contest but something told him that he would somehow be part of the contest anyway, even if it were not lifting. ”We’ll see who can lift more.” Brandon answered with a smirk, walking over to one of the weights and lifting it with one hand, seemingly without any trouble either. There was only the slightest amount of effort on the male’s part, before letting the weight fall to the ground with a resounding thud, one that echoed through the entire room. It was for the most part Brandon showing off his strength and probably just picking out a standard for them to start with.

”This one is supposed to weigh like….ten tons I think.” Brandon thought out loud, testing the weight of the large metal barbell that was within his hand, eyes narrowing as he turned back to Tyuki. Aaron crossed arms over his chest, raising an eyebrow as if seriously considering the suggestion.

”Yeah, I guess I could keep score for you two.” He noted with a smirk, waiting for the two to begin their little contest of strength.

”Her great great grandpa? Well, isn’t that an interesting concept.” Arianna wondered to herself, something about the idea of that amusing the female more than anything. Arianna’s eyes shot to the rose that was presented to her, something about the appearance of it interesting her, a small smirk forming upon her lips as the time spent with the strange being entered her mind. ”Forgive me if I’m a little…skeptical of your visit. The last unexpected guest that I had ended up destroying my home.” She noted not letting the pleasant expression wane, taking hold of the rose handed towards her and sniffing it ever so lightly.
