Welcome to Atlantis Academy! (Lia && Chokuro)

The boy sniffled a few times, rubbing at his eyes with the backs of his hands and he shook his head while walking inside." No! MOmmy.. mommy dropped me off here and... and I don't want to be here! I want to be with MOMMY!" He buried his face into his palms and closed his eyes as the tears continued to break through.
 
Again? Calder sighed softly and bent down to be on the boy's level. "It's okay, sweetheart. Do you know your Mommy's name?" he asked gently, looking over to Rune with a little shrug. "Do you want some milk and cookies while we talk for a little bit? I baked some fresh this morning." Reaching over, the blond tugged the boy's hands down from his face. "Why don't you tell me your name? Mine is Calder."
 
Rune sighed heavily. Of course they would drop their child off here. Yes. The mansion needs more children. He groaned and pushed the door closed behind him. He then turned to begin making his way toward the kitchen.

He sniffled a few times and rubbed his eyes more as he stared at the man in front of him. "J-Jethro" He said, voice soft as he stared at the other. He rubbed his nose a few times as well and then looked down at the ground. "M'mom is Renee..."
 
"Why did your mom drop you off here, Jethro?" he asked, not really sure if he wanted to hear the answer. This Renee woman would have a lot to answer for if he or Rune ever got their hands on her. Standing, the blond offered his hand to the little boy and lead him into the kitchen where he offered him a chair at the table while he gathered the milk and cookies. "Do you live close by? Or know your mom's phone number?" Calder set the plate of chocolate chip cookies on the table with a glass of milk.
 
He sniffled and shook his head. "Mommy won't answer." Jethro sniffled a few more times and he then looked up at the other, eyes staying to his form and he bit his bottom lip a little more. "I ... Mommy said bad men were after her and she didn't want me hurt and she ... she knew you owned um... Theseus?" His brows furrowed as he looked over everything and he soon turned back to Calder. "She doesn't want me hurt... And she thinks bad men will want to steal me."
 
Calder gave another look to Rune. Bad men? This didn't bode well at all. "Maybe you could run and get Nikkos?" he asked his husband, shrugging. Calder wasn't really sure what else to do, but maybe Nikkos would know what was going on, or be able to offer some insight, even if it wasn't much. The blond turned back to the boy and nodded softly. "Prometheus, yes. Why does your mom think bad men will want to steal you, sweetie? Do you know who these bad men are?"
 
Jethro looked up at the other, long lashes batting against his cheeks and he kept his eyes with the other for a while. He soon shrugged and fussed with the front of his shirt a little. "Mommy says it's because I"m specialer than others." He stated, looking up at the other. "She said that ... that um she probably won't see me again but it will be okay... and um stuff."
 
"How are you more special than others, Jethro?" he asked softly, smiling at him. Calder wanted to reassure him that he would see his mother again, but didn't want to give the boy false hope, either. It was a difficult situation. The blond picked up a cookie and bit into it, needing something to do with his hands. "Have you ever met these bad men before?"
 
he shook his head "I didn't meet them before um..." He bit his bottom lip and then pressed his forefinger to the spoon. The spoon slowly began to get taken over by gold, consuming the spoon until it was a full golden spoon. He then looked back up at him, biting his bottom lip. "That's why..."
 
Calder somewhat understood now. "Can you do that to anything you touch, Jethro? Or just metals?" The blond picked up the spoon to inspect it a little bit and then handed it to the boy. "You keep it," he offered with a smile. "How old are you?" he asked, wanting as much information as he could get from the boy. "Where's your father?"
 
"Um.... it's easier with metals." he stated, biting his bottom lip and he sniffled a few more times. "That's what happened to daddy!" He pressed his hands to his face and rested his head against the table. "He wanted me to do more and ... and I killed him! I killed my daddy!" He pulled his knees up and began to rock back and forth, sobbing pathetically as he did so.

Rune came back, arching a brow at the scene. "Calder, what did you do?"
 
"I...uh...asked a question." Calder stood and moved over to stand next to the boy. The blond wrapped an arm around his shoulder and squeezed it softly. "Why don't you go upstairs and wash your face, Jethro?" he suggested, leaning down to wipe away the snot and tears. "Our boys are upstairs. They can show you where everything you'll need is."
 
Jethro looked up at the man, taking in a few deep breaths and he nodded. "O.. Okay." he whispered and then stood to turn and make his way up the stairs. He bit his bottom lip as he did so. He looked around once he was upstairs, looking around and then opening a door He wanted to wash up. He just wanted to get something to distract himself.
 
Walking down the hallway, Kiah wasn't really looking where he was going. Until he bumped into something solid and wound up on his rear. He blinked as he looked up to see what he'd run into. The sight of the boy was a little surprising. Kiah stood up and brushed his bum off. "Hello," he greeted a little shyly. "Who're you? Are you a friend of Mama's?" he asked, brightening just slightly.
 
Jethro blinked his brown eyes a few times. Black hair spiked upon his head and he stared at the other for a while more. "Um... No? I ... I don't know why I'm here." He bit his bottom lip a little more, really not sure what he should be doing right now. He just was far too confused and unsure of himself.
 
"Oh..." Well if he didn't know, how could Kiah know? But the other boy was obviously upset. "How come you came upstairs? Did you need something?" he asked, cocking his head to the side to look at the male a bit more. "The kitchen is downstairs but we have toys and books up here?" Too many to count, really, so he knew that his brothers wouldn't mind sharing them. "What do you like to play with?"
 
Jethro fussed with his shirt a bit more. 'Um... the blond.. Calder? He ... He told me to come wash up." He looked over at him and smiled lightly. "Toys sound fun though!" he grinned. He really liked the idea of playing with someone. He never really got to do that any other time. His mother was always so concerned about him and his safety. and him being with anyone really.
 
Kiah nodded. "Papa is Calder. He's the blond. Rune is Mama." Smiling, the blond took Jethro's hand and lead him towards the room he shared with Narron and Deimos. "I'm Kiah," he offered as they walked through the door. He pointed to each of his brothers and said their names, and let Jethro introduce himself since he didn't know the boy's name yet. "We can play a board game?" he offered. "Or cops and robbers! Or cowboys and indians!" Kiah liked to play pretend.
 
He followed him into the other room, looking around and then back to the boy. "oh um. Jethro." He bit his bottom lip and looked at the bunnies once more. He looked them over before he shrugged his shoulders a little bit. "A um... A game could work. I don't relaly play many." He fussed a little more, not too confident touching others and he figured playing anything pretend would be too close for his liking.
 
Reaching out, Kiah took the other male's hand and tugged him further into the room, plopping down on the floor next to Deimos and patting the spot on his left. "What games do you like? Demi likes war games, but I like Monopoly the best!" That said, Kiah reached over to the shelf behind them and pulled out a few of the board games that they had to give his new friend a choice. "You're the guest so you pick!"
 
Jethro looked at the two, smiling at Deimos and then looking over the games. "Um... Monopoly? I don't really... like war games. I never played before so um... is that okay?" He asked, looking at the two and smiling a little bit more. He crossed his legs and then watched as Deimos began to gather everything together. He looked at it all and then took a hold of the dog. He held it in his hands, smiling lightly as he turned it to gold and held it out to the other.
 
Kiah's eyes went wide when he saw the little piece. "Wow! That's really cool!" The blond picked up the little dog out of Jethro's hand and studied it. "Is that your power? Is that why you're here? To go to Prometheus?" He was full of questions now as he handed the piece back to the other. "You be the dog! We'll know it's your piece!" Monopoly between the six of them tended to get a little confusing because they got side tracked and then forgot who was what piece...
 
Jethro nodded and took the piece back, smiling warmly as he did so. "Thank you and um yes." He nodded a few times and then placed the dog down with a warm smile to his lips. He turned to look at the other two.

Deimos took up the shoe and placed that down before looking at the two, smiling a little bit more. "So you roll the die then when you land on a place, if you wanna buy it, you can. If you don't then you well, don't. If someoen owns it, then you pay them... And then there's the chance cards that you pick up when you land on those... Got it?"

"Um... Yes."
 
The game was fun. Eventually Kiah lost interest in the game and was chatting with Jethro while the game was played around him. He didn't really mind, he enjoyed learning about the other. "Are you going to stay at Prometheus?" he asked, facing Jethro now. "Maybe Mama and Papa will let you stay here! Do you have any brothers or sisters? How come you're going to Prometheus so early?"
 
He looked at the other, blinking a few times as he did so. He stared at him and bit his bottom lip. "It um... It's complicated." He admitted, looking down at his feet and then moved his piece. He turned to look at him again, shrugging."I don't have any family left." He stated, sighing softly. "I just have me and well... I should make sure I can use my powers before they get too big. Right?"
