Thread: The chosen one (Um and Liam Dale)

Arden jumped when he heard a voice behind him, quickly turning around and seeing Beleth. Ah....all my wishes come true...? He wasn't sure what that meant, he couldn't help but look slightly confused. You wouldn't stop...? I...I'm really still not sure exactly what you mean by that, all of this is still pretty overwhelming... He watched as beleth came closer, then took a seat at the table. The man looked slightly confused himself, as if he was adjusting to something, perhaps life here. Quite likely this was all as new to them as it was to him. Still, these 8 held more answers than Arden did and they were the ones trying to win favour with him. Well, perhaps they could all learn to adapt to their new circumstances together. Knowing that the angels and demons were, in a way, perhaps just as confused as vulnerable as he was actually made Arden feel a little better about the whole situation. When the others all came in it meant Arden's brief retreat was over, and it seemed all of them were expecting food as well. So, food for 9.....that was going to be difficult. If this was going to the case every day too then no way he could just use the regular shopping his parents got, Arden was going to have to start buying more food for them himself...which was going to be expensive. Oh, no no, I can handle it, really, but I appreciate the offer He looked to Adhrastos and smiled at the offer of help. Whilst he probably could've used help with cooking for 9 people, he somehow doubted any of them knew how to actually cook. The way they had been talking, they didn't strike him as the most domestically capable group. Arden chose to make something simple given how many he was cooking for, and was careful to use food that wouldn't be too noticeable by its absence. Fortunately it didn't take long for him to finish, dishing out the food onto plates. He set as many as he could at the table, but it was nowhere near big enough for all of them, having to hand out plates to the others. I'm not the greatest cook, but I hope you all enjoy it at least He poured each of them out a glass of water to drink too, there wasn't enough soda to go around after all, again handing out the glasses. Well then guys....dig in He smiled, watching them all eat for a moment before tucking into his own food. Once everybody had finished eating Arden moved to start washing everything up. Again it would've been nice to have some help, but he couldn't really risk them dropping and breaking everything, that would be difficult to explain. Fortunately he finished washing and putting things away right in time, the sound of him closing the cupboard being followed immediately by the sound of the front door opening as his parents got him. Arden jumped slightly, taking a deep breath. Moment of truth. He went out to meet them, his mother and father greeting him happily, asking him about his day. After a few moments his mother walked into the kitchen in order to get a drink of water, passing right by the angels and demons without so much as a glance. Arden couldn't help but let out a soft sigh of relief. Well mom, dad, I already ate and I'm feeling kinda tired...so I'm gonna head up to my room, relax for a bit then get some sleep Alright honey His mother walked over, giving him a hug, his father patting his shoulder, before Arden moved to head upstairs, trying to discreetly motion for the 8 to follow him. When he got upstairs, his room was relatively spacious, a large bed, easily big enough for 3 people to lay side by side. As he had said though, whilst there was enough room for all 9 of them to sit or stand around, there certainly wasn't enough room for all of them to sleep comfortably in there, his decision to only bring in 4 of them making a little more sense. Once all of them were inside, Arden shut the door and went over to his bed, slumping down to sit on it and rubbing his face. Well, they didn't see you....that's a good sign if nothing else right? He slumped backover, laying down now and looking up at the ceiling, keeping his voice quiet as he spoke. So....tell me, you all want me to join your side.....just what does that mean exactly? What will my joining your side mean to you, to me and to everyone else?
