Yes that is true but fuck you i'm a unicorn [Tempest and Austyn]

This week had been a strange one, but then again he was a guy that could bend water so not like it was anything new. Ryan had actually met a brother of theirs, well another of theirs anyway. There was Austyn but from what they could tell was that they were not so sure he liked him anyway. His brother did say that wasn't the case, but then again he was not so sure if he should trust that. Honestly, the whole Lucius thing was still on his mind, especially with that Hector guy that had given him this weird disc thing that was apparently something for him. There wasn't much of a reason for him to really trust that weird robot guy that was somehow a guy. For the moment however, well Ryan just found himself wasting time via one important thing and that was....riding a unicorn.

Well...rather it was a horse with something pasted to its forehead resembled a unicorn anyway. "This just feels stupid on so many levels." Jordan noted with a sigh and a roll of his eyes, looking up to Ryan who was riding astride the horse. How they even learned how to rise said horse was unknown really.

"Hey! Nothing stupid about riding a unicorn. It's majestic and stuff like that." Ryan defended himself, as the mount sort of just walked around in a seeming circle. Honestly he was having fun with all of this, so nothing could really ruin his fun while he waited for Eric to make their grand appearance. Well rather Eric and Austyn, though he was unsure if Austyn would really come here. "I mean, come on people say they don't exist but I have one now." This only had a sarcastic roll of the eyes from Jordan as he waited. How they even got a horse, let alone learned to ride one was unknown but here they were on the beach.

"Well whatever. Just don't get yourself killed or whatever." Jordan noted, sitting down and watching Ryan with his mount still trotting around. That was when the horsicorn sorta threw Ryan off before letting out a loud whinny and...flew off into the air.

"Hey! Unicorns don't fly!" Ryan shouted not even catching the fact that horses didn't either really. Either way it seemed like someone was here, one of his siblings anyway.

Tempest was supposed to be meeting both his brothers at once today, a first. Though he hadn't even met Austyn yet, so having Ryan there to break the ice would probably make things go smoother. Judging by what he heard of their relationship however.....told him it could just as well make it more awkward. He also had no idea if Ryan let his other brother in on what this meeting was all about, he sure hoped he had instead of opting for the surprise route.

Right now though, he was chatting with one of the Seraphim members. Dumah he was called or something, though the male had expressed distaste for the whole angel name thing and just told Eric to call him Drifter. An interesting name, not the most optimistic but this guy wasn't the biggest bundle of joy on the planet.

"So what do you do?" Eric said, obviously referring to his powers as this was supposed to be a meta only group (even though like three members are human).

"I don't know, what do you do?" Drifter replied, typing away at his computer and seemingly trying to ignore the rather pushy Eric.

"You know what i do. I manipulate lightning and air....and stuff. But you didn't answer the question" Eric said, not going to give up it would seem.

"I can't show you some flashy superpower if that's what you're asking." Drifter said, his eyes still scanning the lines of code in front of him.

"That's.....not exactly what i mean. Like, what are your powers beyond super sociopathy?" Eric asked yet again.

"I'm not a sociopath." Drifter said, clearly just trying to avoid the question yet again.

"God! You aren't going to tell me are you?" Eric asked.

"No." Drifter responded. Eric was going to open his mouth again but then his phone buzzed. Looked like it was time. So, he just walked off and made his way down to the beach....only to see Ryan on a horse before it knocked him off and flew away.

"Um, ok, not the weirdest thing I've seen all week but i was not expecting that." Tempest said as he walked up to Ryan.

Deals with the devil, run in's with RED and still nothing to show for it. Nothing more than a diplomatic resolution that honestly could have gone better. Regardless, Austyn was in a bit of a bind. He was about to be ambushed by not only his retarded little brother, but by a douchebag named Eric. Granted Austyn wasn't entirely aware of his other brother's nature. Alas that was a surprise he needed to find out for himself.

 "I don't know what it is. It just feels like there's....something inside of me and I can't find it. I was face to face with someone who could have killed me with a thought and something told me "Do it" or it made me want to go ahead with it." He said, sitting down onto the nice blue velvety chair. To the right of him was a worn an weary table with a glass of blue soda fizzing in it's confines. Resting his arm on the chair's and then his head in his hand.

"That's normal. Adrenalin, desperation, determination. It's all part of the "Hero" thing I'd imagine." Matthew said as he walked over and plopped himself down on the chair that mirrored the one Austyn was within. The angle tilted towards the television as he picked up his controller and set it aside.

"But it drives me to do more. More things. Not always good things. I killed those ice people, I was going to kill Ryan I just...it was feeding.-I don't imagine that... things created by powers would be considered living.-Well then doesn't that men we're just God's constructs?" To this Matt's brow furrowed and then they both raised and he nodded with a look of easy acceptance at this fact. More over that Austyn really wanted to be deemed a bad person.

 "Like even right now I can feel something off.... I dunno." Austyn said as he began to run his hand through his hair, repeating the motion again and again and again as he lost himself in thought.

"Look, man. I can't really tell you how to feel. I can't even pretend I know ho you feel; because everyone handles and perceives thing differently. But what I can tell you is that everyone DOES have that little darkness inside them. That feelings that fester that make them want to do things they normally wouldn't. That's normal. The stronger someone's light is, the greater a shadow it casts. The greater the shadow. Yin to Yang. The greater the good the greater potential for evil...It's natural." Matthew explained for a moment, hands folding as he leaned forward and rest his elbows on his knees. After a moment of sheer silence and Austyn looking at him, Matthew spoke again only to scoff and chuckle a little before hand. "It's what we CHOOSE to do that matters. Because in the end... everyone has that darkness within them, well...almost everyone. But who ever really talks about how someone felt, or how someone secretly thought over what it is they choose to do?" After that it was silence for a moment, Austyn would reflect on the words said, actually trying to formulate a time when he learned of someone in history whom secretly thought or felt something that mattered over the actions they chose to do. Of course because they SECRETLY thought it he couldn't much think of a time. Ultimately he had to concede that the other side of the argument was correct.

 "In the end... what you think is not as important as the motives of your heart; and THAT is for God to judge. We all have choices. These choices aren't simply color in the dot or write in the answer and that's it. This choice is one that is asked over, and over, and over again at every single junction in our lives. "Will you be a better person?" or "Will you be a better brother" or "will I do what's right?"...and every moment of every adversity you need to recognize the fact that...every trial and every tribulation is asking you the very question you've already answered. Taunting you. Testing you to see if you'll break this time, or at least how far you'll bend. But ultimately...it's YOUR choice to DO it." At this moment in time Austyn almost entirely forgot about his issue, listening to the slight rant go by he tried to find ways to make it apply to his situation. Despite Matthew only being a little older than him he sounded like he was a seventy year old man. He had little nuggets of wisdom...occasionally. Other times he could be just down right creepy in his perceptions.

"Yeah...Ryan's gonna be here soon. I'm gonna go meet him and see what he wants to bother me about this time." Austyn said before placing the Seraph's mask over his face and standing up. Matthew stood up with him and started to walk with him through the complex. Finally they turned the corner and Matthew took note of something before pulling himself back around the corner.

 "I'm gonna go out the back door. Little safer. Forget you saw me. Kay, thanks bye." He said before slipping away while Dumah and Eric were in their little deadlock. Austyn looked to Ryan and the third duplicate of them, immediately filling with dread. Of course, this was their triplet.

  Austyn growled as he looked over and saw Cale slack jawed at Ryan, whom had a unicorn off in the distance. Did his brother seriously ride in on that!? All Austyn could think was Congratulations Ryan. Senpai notices you...in the worst way possible. as he thought that Cale shook his head and walked away.

 "I'd appreciate it if you'd leave Dumah alone. His job is quite important. Speaking of, I'd like a status report within the hour/" Austyn said as kindly as possible and, hoping that he could use a fake "report" (that he's never asked for before) as an excuse to save the poor technopath from the inane ramblings of what was likely to be yet another incompetent twerp with a cranial malfunction. Austyn then turned to Ryan and shook his head, rather disappointed.   "And you. I can't believe I ever had to say these words together but... words would ever leave my mouth but.... no riding in on a unicorn with your boyfriend. If you have a reason for being here you can at least use a vehicle or something less....attention grabbing. " He said watching the unicorn go off into the distance, only wanting to facepalm, though restraining himself from doing so.

Well that was not exactly how he wanted things to go but then again it was as they were when Eric made their appearance. Well, Ryan was happy to see his sibling at any case, even if their only comment was about the pegasus flying off into the sky. Yes the titles said unicorn but Ryan didn't believe unicorns flew, so that was what he thought the thing was. "I've seen stranger." Jordan spoke up with a shrug, a small smirk after seeing a horse suddenly fly off to god knows where, that being until he saw what appeared to be something hit the thing and reduce it to a pulp that fell into the sea. Huh, that looks like any chance Ryan has with Cale. Wow that sounded mean even in my head. He thought to himself before taking note of Seraph who was just walking in actually, telling Eric not to mess with hard to remember name.

"Boyfriend...what?"Ryan was confused by the whole thing, but then again it might hae been the suddenness of the whole statement.

"Okay, let's stop you right there."  Jordan said with a chuckle. "Just friends. Anyway, I have things to do so you three have fun, don't blow anything up." He said with a wink, white wings forming on their back before they ended up flying off to let them have their talk.

"Okay, that was less weird and...sorta fits the angel thing. Anyway...hi you two." He said with a small wave and a smile. "Anyway that was a pagacorn, not a unicorn. Those don't fly."

Eric didn't even realize this was the triplet they were meeting for a few seconds...... Maybe it was the rather commanding first words the male said, or maybe it was the fact they chose to hide their face. Either way, once he realized he smiled with genuine joy, but not going in for a hug or anything. Honestly he could tell Austyn wouldn't like that. He may have only been slightly above average as far as intellect went, but he knew how to pick up on feelings pretty well.

"Yeah.....that report that decides the outcome of several of our future missions. I'll get right on it." Luke said, using the opportunity to walk off because this kid was fucking annoying. He might not have been very convincing....but then again maybe he didn't want to convince the kid he had to leave. Perhaps....he wanted Tempest to know he wanted away from him.

"See ya later, Lukey." Eric said all too seriously. Drifter nearly put a bullet in his head right there......but then realized how stupid that was. Instead he just groaned and continued walking.

"Annnnnnyyyway, i know this might be awkward for you. Really it's new for me too, but.....we are family, and that's gotta mean something. I'm Eric, it's nice to meet you." Eric said after turning to Austyn. His perfect posture and uppity tone making him seem quite friendly and put together. He held out his hand to shake his brothers, a smile still plastered across his face.

There were several breaches here. First of all this kid just outright said he was Seraph's brother. Next he was outing the names of other Seraphim members, primarily Dumah. Granted Austyn wasn't overly friends with Dumah, but they were on better terms than Eric and him at this point. Austyn actually had to quell the thoughts in his mind to keep a calm composure and not pull one of his hidden blades. Wait...that thought wasn't his. That wasn't who he was. More importantly that's not what he chose to do. Eric had a large smile though he held better posture, conducted himself differently. Given his insight on his identity and his "natural inclination" to ruin secrecy and identity. He was intelligent, he was posied and proper. Most of all as his little display with Luke showed; he was petty as Hell.

Immediately there were whispers form other nearby operatives, whisoers of disbelief and amazement. Things like "They're brothers?" "The Seraph has a family?" and "No way!" of all kinds. It was quite obvious that no one had been keyed into the fact Ryan and Seraph were brothers, and that now his identity was all but ruined.

"You're right. It does. It's why you still have all your teeth after saying that." Austyn said as he scoffed. "Amazing... I spent my life building up to something...and within seconds of meeting BOTH of you each of you has ruined a different aspect of my life. Isn't Family great?" Austyn asked sarcastically before letting out a frustrated exhale, trying to keep himself together, fighting on several fronts at this moment. Then the idea hit him. Intelligent, seemingly innocent but actually petty, antagonistic and a preppy high-society boy like none other. This thing was fucking Lucius. It was Lucius wearing their skin. Honestly Austyn wanted to simply call it a Lucius clone, God knows the man was probable capable. The only thing stopping him was the fact he knew about Eric from documentation.

Documentation proven only by a dead woman.

There was a thought. What if it weren't real? It were highly possible that Eric were just inserted into their story. Who would be able to dispute it? Their biological father got iced, pun intended, and their mother was the only other valid person whom could confirm the story. The rest of this stuff. All these papers...just that. Just papers. Easily forged, pictures...well let's just say if Lucius could clone someone it was safe to assume he could photo-shop something.

"So...now that one of my best kept secrets are outed, how else would you like to ruin my life today?" He asked, not really being sarcastic but rather more challenging, in a way that the other members looked away awkwardly, almost as if they were afraid of Austyn's wrath.

Ryan began to get this sinking feeling that this was maybe not his best idea, but then again he should have listened when he was told so earlier. Well he vaguely remembered Jordan saying something along those lines, however he could not be so sure about that anyway. All he knew was that Austyn did not seem so happy, with Eric at the very least but they were likely not the only person his annoyance was directed towards. Not as if he could just call all of this off now though, so Ryan would do the only thing he could and that was try to go from here in the hope things would get better. How people muttered around them suggested they didn't know about the relation between him and Seraph, meaning...there went the whole secret identity thing. Confirmation that he was annoyed made things so much more difficult, and part of Ryan felt like walking off from there would be better.

Now realizing how awkward things had been made, Ryan found himself fidgeting a little, thinking over how this...thing could be salvaged. Eric was as pictured as always, but that was just something that were good at being, starkly different compared to Ryan's slouched, slobbish demeanor. "You make it sound like I wake up and just scheme ways to ruin your life." Which was far from the truth when more important things than ruining his brothers life like breakfast were on his mind around that time. Afterall, he had no intention of ruining their life, and Ryan was just sappy enough to care about what family thought about him. Well, his family and friends he considered close. "Well I wanted us to talk and get to know each other....but something tells me that won't happen." Ryan noted seemingly disappointed as he scratched his chin.

Well then, that didn't go as well as Eric had hoped........but maybe he could still salvage this. Honestly Tempest understood, he just assumed since Ryan used their brothers real name it was fine. No one told him to avoid that, and now it was biting him in the ass. So yeah, awful start and he realllllly didn't know what to do now, with this angry kid in front of him.

"Uhhhhh, well, god...... I'm really sorry Seraph. I know that means next to nothing and you probably hate my guts right now, but i guess it's the best i can do." Eric said, looking upset and dropping his hand. Only now did he realize how great a screw up that was.

"I, i think i should go. It was nice meeting you........i suppose." Eric said before turning away, walking off at a slow pace, as if ashamed. He clearly couldn't make it up to the kid......and probably needed to let him cool off. Maybe he just really didn't enjoy the idea of having brothers that looked just like him.

It was an apology at the very least. Austyn had to give Eric credit, he did in fact seem sincere though honestly...Austyn didn't buy it. This was literally a Lucius implant into their lives that was only going to fuck things up. A wolf in sheeps clothing. Unfortunately Eric wasn't the only one. Woe be unto he whom figures that one out. The apology was ended but suddenly a thump sounded out from behind Ryan. A young man had seemed to somehow pivot on the side of the roof knees curled to his chest before entering the empty make-shift window and landing on the table. After squatting down hand forward a bit to keep stability the young man spoke up.

"Bright side of things is that now that everybody knows it can't really be used against ya." The young man said as they seemed to push off their fingers balancing themselves as best as possible, though still wobbling back and forth a bit. A perfect contrast of white and black hair spiked up while the punkish looking style and mis-colored leathers made him quite a sore thumb amongt the others.

"That supposed to make it better?" Austyn asked, though the young man just continued to balance himself. Austyn sighed as he looked to Ryan and Eric. "Look, ruining an identity I spend years and a lot of money into protecting...I can appreciate wanting to reach out to your family. I can; But wouldn't it be better if I weren't working to try and do it?" Austyn let out a little sigh before folding his arms over his chest, looking at Ryan.

Unfortunately the truth of the matter was in the delivery of it all. It was careless, unintelligent and ultimately incredibly rude to just oust his identity. Even with Toby making the intervention he had, it was no less infuriating and even less excusable than before. Ryan honestly didn't help matters. It wasn't that Austyn didn't want to get to know his brothers. The problem was he already knew his brothers. They just didn't know him. They were Eric the Oblivious and Ryan the Retard. The bottom line was that he didn't much care for them to know him. Though it was fascinating to find that Ryan couldn't keep his goddamn lips shut. Should probably have let the nuke drop on him in retrospect.

"I'm glad to see you're both alive. Really, I am. But I have work to do. Take care of yourselves." Austyn said simply, actually rather eager to get this all over with before someone suggested that they meet up.

"Well it's not like you work ALL the time. Just meet each other when you're not working."

"Fuck you Toby-Huh?-Nothing." Austyn said under his breath as he looked to Eric and Ryan, seeing if either of them were going to capitalize on the opportunity. If he had to predict which one...it would be Ryan.

Much like a unicorn splattered mid air, this was not going well. Ryan found himself internally panicking while trying to figure out what exactly he could do to fix this situation, there had to be something that could unfuck it up. Eric seemed to have a similar view on things that he did, not that it was a very good one. If he knew anything, likely they would either leave or maybe try to smooth talk this into a more favorable scenario. Unfortunately, it was the former and Ryan could not blame them for that at all. That left Ryan looking both baffled and highly confused, granted the latter was likely something many people would argue was his usual expression. When all seemed to have fallen down the proverbial toilet, well someone made their move. By that, they mostly just said something smart about how Austyn's real identity couldn't be used against him. Which was true, but likely something that he didn't want anyway.

Ryan could understand to an extent, since heroes sometimes didn't like their identities being thrown around like that, though he highly doubted the whole loved ones thing played into it. After all, he still believed that Austyn hated his guts, and just had some sort of weird reason why he didn't just tell him to jump off a bridge or something like that. A small amount of tension had left the air anyway, enough that he could let a small sigh escape. "Yeah, if only I knew when that was." Ryan noted. Considering that Austyn had an actual job and did Seraph things, well it was hard to know when they weren't doing anything if there was even a time when that was the case. Expecting him to just know when that was the case was asking a bit too much, especially when he wasn't sure if anyone cared enough to actually have anything to do with him.

All of this was just draining more than anything. With that considered, Austyn appeared to want to close things up with what was likely just an excuse to not to have to look at them. However, something was brought up and it was the perfect oppurtunity to take advantage of that being mentioned. "So...yeah. When do you think you would be free? We can umm....get to know each other then I guess." He said latching onto the opportunity rather quickly, hoping Eric didn't already leave.

Slightly less tension was in the room now, but that still didn't make it comfortable. The kid, Toby his name was, had at least managed to get breaking Eric's teeth off Austyn's mind. Now they just had to find a way to repair the damages done, if that was possible. Tempest really didn't want to let the kid off the hook honestly, he always got off from what Eric had heard. He was always working, or doing this or that, no time for anything.

He was going to have to make time today, they were long lost brothers whether they liked it or not. They were going to hang out, dammit! Or at the very least talk about all the shit that had happened tot their family over the years, maybe piece together the story once and for all. This bitter and grim attitude Seraph had was just so hard to work with.

"What? You on the clock or something? I'm sure we can go hang out and not cause any more damages. We need to catch up, i think we all can admit that whether we like each other or not." Tempest said, turning around and sort of re-inserting himself once Toby broke the ice somewhat. Really, he wanted this time with his family. He never had one after all.

"Pfft. You tell me when I've got time. I go to school, I go to work and when I'm done there I come here to work." he said, being surprisingly honest with the fact as he sighed. He leaned back looking straight ahead, staring at nothingness for a second, still seething under the mask, but keeping it well hidden.

"Wow...no wonder you can be a dick. When was your last day off?" the frosted-haired, red leather punk asked with a narrowed eyebrow and a tone with piercing shock. The Seraph's head slowly turned from nothingness to give the coldest, most stoic death-inducing glare that one had ever seen. Immediately it sent shivers down Toby's spine and made him shiver like that of a dog. "Eeeeeee-yeeeah that doesn't help."

"I went to the 49ers game..."
"Oookay so that was fairly recent...what was the date of the game?" Though immediately it was followed by silence, Toby reached out and poked Seraph's mask, causing the male to thrash his head a little bit in order to keep the hand away.
"January of 2016."
"...seven years."

The Seraph and Toby both fell silent as The Seraph seemed to neglect the fact that he's been apparently busy since the time he was nine. Of course given the nature of his own personal agenda and his father's work ethic an the overall way he was....fixated. He looked back to the twins and shrugged at the looks they were probably giving him. "What?" honestly and genuinely unsure as to what was wrong with the fact he had been working since he was nine or something like that.

"Look. I'll take the evening shift off tomorrow and I'll see if Lucifer or another member of the Angrilis can cover me. Alright?" He barked, obviously just trying to make these people complacent, appeasing them in hopes they would be able to "hang out" and go on with their lives as normal.

Austyn had a snarky remark for his question, which mostly came out in the end to be the fact they didn't have any time off. Which when Ryan thought about it, was probably their fault but he didn't decide to voice that thought. Instead he stood there with what one would call his usual stupid look, thinking over how they could get around that small issue. Well, it was a rather large to him considering that he wanted to get to know his siblings, regardless of how much they wanted to get to know him. Luckily their friend was there to further talk things through, as he would have likely not known what exactly to say in regards to Austyn's rather cramped work schedule. Either they had no time, or didn't want to make any time for them.

Something about how they talked, and even just subtle movements suggested that it was the latter really. From what could be gathered, he had been busy ever since he was nine, which was a long time ago it would seem. Ryan blinked a couple of times, mostly surprised at the fact they had been working themselves for around...six years. Unless his math was worse than he thought, but then again Ryan was not known for his skill in arithmetic. It didn't appear that Austyn really understood at all the problem with their work ethic, but then again he didn't expect that really. Looking to Eric with a look that without words questions...well if Austyn was even sane, he looked back to his other sibling."Okay...um...that sounds fine." If he knew Silus as half as well as he thought he did, well hopefully they would be willing to help his brother out this.

If not, well that left him with quite a pickle because he didn't know any of the other major angel dudes that well. They probably didn't want to have much to do with him for one reason or another, might explain why he wasn't part of their exclusive angel club. Forcing his mind back on track, that meant he would have to think of where they could meet up. Because honestly he had no clue was far as that was concerned, but maybe it could be somewhere they could actually enjoy themselves.For some reason he expected all of this to go horribly wrong, but then again maybe he was just worrying over nothing. That tended to happen, so he wouldn't worry himself too much over it. Atleast that was what Ryan told himself, but actually doing so would have been much more difficult.

Well then, they clearly weren't going to convince Austyn to go hang, at least not today. What a shame it was really, they had planned this out and Eric assumed everyone was free. But then again, maybe it was for the best considering the tension of this meeting. All he could do was sigh in slight irritation, what a workaholic this kid was.

Eric was obviously disappointed. The only family he had was a retarded kid and someone that wanted nothing to do with anything that even looked like 'fun' or 'joy'. Maybe he should have stayed back in London....... That or went to somewhere different then LA, everyone was just so damn tense here so far.

Eventually, the three would decide to part ways and do whatever it was they were going to do. Maybe the next meeting would turn out better. They would agree on a day at some point, whether on the spot or in the days following, but they would set it up none the less. The meeting place was outside a comic shop downtown, not too far from the Headquarters. Everyone would be coming as themselves, no costumes this time. No one was sure what they would be doing, but none the less the Triplets and likely Dumah would be meeting there.

Well today was the day that everyone was meeting up. It was pretty unfortunate that he was couped up in the music shop for as long as he was. Of course he knew about the little meeting today, in fact he requested the presence of a particular ally to come with him. It was partially a surprise when his requested ally brought someone else with them. Dumah arrived with yet another friend of Austyn's, that of course being none other than Matt. After his inexplicable escape and desire to remain hidden yesterday called quite a bit to mind, though he was always a rather shy and timid person.

"Hola!" He said, beaming at Austyn as he immediately excused himself to the symphonic metal section. Of course he'd be into that stuff. He was kinda classy, it had a classical tone to it to show some form of sophistication and the lyrics were dark and rather sorrowful. It was a pretty good comparison to the little human friend. Of course then he looked right to Dumah and mouthed the words "Who is that? Why is he here?"

"So uh..we're actually closing. I mean take your time but If you need anything just hollar so I can hear you from the back, alright?" As soon as Matthew nodded he turned his head just in time to see Austyn trying to gently nudge Dumah to the back.

"I-oh...uh...." Matthew watched as they rounded the corner, his guise dropping a moment. "Ar-ar-aroooo!" he snipped a moment, though Austyn and Drifter were a little too far gone.

"Who-" Of course it was posed as a question drawn out long enough for drifter to interrupt him at any time with the appropriate answer. Following the event he just sighed and cleared his throat. "Okay so... what is he...is he coming with us?" Ausytn asked, of course he seemed nervous a bit, not that he particularly cared about any extra company...he just didn't want Matt to know that he was...well related to more people. Honestly the psychology of the matter was illusive to him. But if Matt was going...he wanted to know. When Drifter gave his response to that there was one final thing he needed to address with Drifter, and that was the matter of Eric and how to "handle" him.

"As Seraph I'm ordering you to be on your best behavior and give Eric the respect he deserves." Of course Austyn's head tilted slightly and smirked. "Luckily, Seraph isn't here...but as Eric's brother I'd appreciate Eric if you gave him a little more than the respect he deserves....give him everything he deserves." He said the very end of it being rather flat and deadpanned. Of course he was essentially saying to Lukas that if Eric got out of hand he had full permission to deck him.

Finally, depending on Lukas decisions, the little party would head out and meet up with the other triplets and most likely whatever friends they had decided to bring. Because if Austyn knew Ryan at all then one of his little friends would be joining him... at least that would deliver some entertainment and conversation starters.
