Hand waving in dismissal, Cleo shook his head. The moment felt too open for him to explain everything. "I'll tell you everything that happened later, alright?"
"I see. That's all good and I suppose you'd like to meet at that cafe again?" Ash, standing before him arms now crossed, raised an eyebrow in question.
"Ah, no. I'll come over to your place."
The two adamantly chatter regarding plans of meeting up entirely washing over Fion's head. Ash's companions all held expressions between 'Who is this guy?' and 'I don't know what is happening whilst their gazes switched between the two simultaneously.
Reaching out his hand, Ash gave his brother a bright smile ruffling his white-hair. "I guess I'm the older brother now since you're just an itty bitty child."
Cleo snorted, quickly pushing his hand off him. "In your dreams you little shit. I'm always gonna be the older one so get over it." lips parting to add onto what he had just said he practically squeaked as Ash unexpectedly shoved him. His eye twitched, "Hey!" he shouted in indignation.
"What? I didn't do anything?" Innocently, Ash fluttered his eyelashes.
"Hey, Ash. We need to head to the Forest of June soon or we are gonna fail the quest." All heads spun to face the voice of the person who had just spoken. Standing in front of Ash's other companions, an imaginary label of 'tank' appeared above his head.
(Ooh~ His avatar is so cool! (⊙_⊙))
(You just like his muscles.)
Humming in response to the tank, Ash snuck in a ruffle of Cleo's hair for the last time. Seemingly letting himself get caught again he jumped back with a wave. "That's my cue! Accept my friend request and read my message Cleo or so help me I'll come to your house and steal all the food you have."
"As if I have any food for you to steal," he replied.

Posture stiff and awkward, Fion leaned his body sideways toward Cleo. Though awkward his eyes were highlighted in curiousness about the group of people they chatted with for quite a bit."Soooo…who were they?"
"That was…my brother. I don't know the others though."
Eyebrow raised in question, "That was an old friend? But aren't you like 11 years old?"
'That is not what I said at all.' Cleo thought to himself but opted to not correct him. Censoring what words left his mouth, he was sure the work of the game as well as because Fion was considered an 'NPC'.
"I am not 11 years old." He said instead.
Fion released a scandalous gasp. His eyes widened in astonishment at the grand reveal.
"How old are you then?"
"23."
