~ 1x1 with Hobo! and Unsolved Mysteries ~

[Hobo!]

:.:Howl:.:

The neko carefully took his seat across from Andras, his ears matching his parents, swiveled back similar to his parents. But what is dissimilar is the fact his cheeks were a burning pink color. He averted his eyes down to the pale cream plates that sat in front of him with the bright, shiny silver table ware that was sitting beside said plate.
The black topped inu didn't dare to speak a word, for he was afraid of stumbling over the words that would fill his mouth. Or maybe babble. He wasn't really sure what would come out. I mean you have to credit the guy. He's sitting in the same room as his parents and his secret lover.

Andras kept his gaze away from Howl, placing a faint smirk at his lips. " Mayor Hawking. It's a pleasure to meet you. As you must have guessed, I am Andras, Mayor Cresil's son. I assume my father sent me here about a peace treaty sort of thing? He mentioned it before he sent me out. " He said in an easy tone, as though he did this sort of thing every day. The neko's pale tan tail swished back and forth, and his hands were gloved -- perhaps to keep him from scratching somebody, who knew.

[Hobo!]

:.:Howl:.:

He still kept his gaze at bay, black tail limp and sitting behind him in an almost sad way. All he wanted to do now was be with Andras, especially now that they had a bedroom, couch, or even carpet. That grass on their hillside honestly was not that comfy. He scooted back cautiously as their meal came. Just chicken again, which was good in a sense of not being over-decadent for a guest. How busied himself cutting up his chicken into small bits.

How's father
"Yes yes, thats it. My son, Howl.. You've met, correct? He said he saw you up at the hillside the other day. This is our territory. But I'd rather not have to fight about such petty things. Our towns could easily live in peace; we both have resources the other needs, but we let our differences hold us back. What do you say? I know you may have to consult your father, but its at least something to think about. And are you staying the night? We have an extra room so you won't have to travel alone in the dark."

Andy merely nodded, " Yes, I've met Howl. He's come to be a good friend of mine. " He said with a small shrug, flicking his pierced ear. As the mayor continued, he pursed his lips. " If I were in charge, I would agree entirely. I'm sure my father would feel the same, however, the response will have to wait until I speak with him again. " He told him, fighting a smile. As the plate of chicken was set before him, he began to, hesitantly, cut into it. " If it wouldn't be an issue, yes, I will be staying the night. " he replied evenly.

[Hobo!]

Howl's father.
He glanced at Howl. Good friends? The older ink was surprised at this. Since when did Howl have time to visit cats? "Well, uh" He started, taking a bit of his chicken hesitantly. "Of course you could stay the night. Howl!" He said, making his son jump. "Show him to his room. Your'e not eating anyways, just savaging the poor animal." he stated, nodding to Andras "It was nice to meet you sir, and I hope to see you in the morning."

:.:Howl:.:
He quickly stood up, hitting his knee on the table. He nodded to Andras, straightening his collar and coughing a couple times. He started walking out of the room, hoping his love would follow. What kind of stunt was that? They were close friends? They were supposed to be enemies. Not to mention Howl was supposed to be a hostile, evil inu. Not a sweet, shy one. Whatever he was around Andras that is.

Andras paused, taking a bite of the poultry on his plate. He was half tempted that he and Howl were just friends, and the reason was because he was getting married, but he didn't, for he didn't want to bring the subject of Amanda up around Howl. As the mayor spoke to his son, and then to him, he bowed his head politely, " As to you. Good night. " He said, a cheerless smile placed on his lips. The neko stood from the table, turning and padding after Howl, the way he walked much like a cat's -- nearly silent, even with his boots on.

[Hobo!]

:.:Howl:.:
He walked quickly, noisily, almost the opposite of how Andras was walking. As soon as they were out of earshot from all, he turned and grabbed Andras's hand. "My dad could have skinned us both alive back there. Friends?"He asked, a small frown on his lips as he took a step closer to him. Howl knew that his love's room awaited, and they should both probably get some sleep, but this had to be said now.

Andras Dexter Cresil

Andras took note of how Howl was walking -- hastily, as though he was rushing to get out of earshot. " Sorry, Howl. " He murmured, lacing his fingers through the other boy's. The neko glanced down the hallway, and then took a step forward, stealing a kiss from the boy, before stepping back again, leaving their fingers entwined. " I mean, it wasn't exactly like I was glaring at you or anything. And I didn't say we were lovers. " He told him softly, flicking his pierced ear yet again.

[Hobo!]

:.:Howl:.:
"But still.." He whimpered, keeping their hands together as he walked carefully upstairs. He poked his head around the corner of the upstairs hall, then nodded, mostly to himself. "Your room is right across from mine."He said softly, looking back at Andras, his ears flicking slightly, tail motionless behind him. "You can borrow some of my pajamas if you'd like."

Andy's lips twitched downward, into a frown, for just a moment. He met the boy's gaze when he looked at him, giving a small nod. " Considering I didn't bring any... I guess that would be best. " he said, his ears flicking, and then falling still and alert. He nodded slightly to him, biting his lip lightly, trying to ignore the fact that he'd be sleeping in pajamas that would smell like Howl.
