George: "Both?" George chuckled, rubbing the spot he was hit. "Look, if there are people trying to kill me, it would be better if I pacify or eliminate them. Plus, if I hide all day, they'll know that I know there are people trying to kill me. I want them to think they have the upper hand."

Ariv: "Well... We aren't technically... Well I suppose in that sense...," Ariv went quiet as he thought, mumbled under his breath before quickly snapping out of it. "Sorry just- The 'who' was Alex Brady. The 'what' was a light, kilemer saber. The 'where' was a spot in the multiverse twenty clicks from here." Ariv's eyes drifted back up to Alastor's as his his lips thinly pressed together. He wasn't glaring, just... staring. Almost as if he was looking through or not directly at Alastor. "Last but not least, the 'why' is because as a defender of this world it is imperative that I maintain a good condition in regulating my soul output, my mental stability, and my strength. Training is the best way to test if I am fit for my position or if I am an utter failure. Does that answer your questions?"

Serenity: "Uhh... Whisper?" Serenity mumbled, a little worried as to where Whisper disappeared to.

Owen: he rolled his eyes. "They don't know you're here dumbass. Let's keep it this way. They'll be gone soon. You guys just arrived at the wrong time." He smacked George again just for the run of it.

George: "What was that one for??" George hissed, rubbing the spot he was hit before plopping down onto the ground. "That one was highly uncalled for..."

Ariv: Ariv stayed silent alough he was pleasantly surprised when Alastor hugged him. Ariv opened his mouth for a second before simply shutting it, wrapping his arms loosely around Alastor.

Owen: he laughed smacking George again before pulling him back into a tight hug. "Aww~ I can kiss it better for you if you'd like~" he snickered licking his neck just to give him the chills.

George: "Nooo!! Cut it out!!!" George whined weakly, pushing Owen away with a whine and shivering as he was licked. "Don't do that!!"

Ariv: "Of course," Ariv sighed with a smile before hopping off the counter. "May I have a second to at least put my pants on before I do?"
