the city looked a complete schmozzle since the battle and the sight of a gleaming condo was a blessing in contrast. muscles ached and strained as he pulled off the tattered remains of his jacket, his skin blackened by the ash and blood that had smeared and stained. He felt dirty from head to toe and looked forward to the hot shower that would wash away the stench.
He tried to keep his mind away from thoughts of his former love. he had made sure to know that she was safe amongst the chaos and once hed been assured he forced every inch of himself that hesitated to move away, to focus on other things that in instinct seemed less important. Sure hed enjoyed a few nights out here and there but he still felt alone, wanting at times to go back a few years and perhaps change the course of the past. still in time he had grown to accept the path hed walked and what had become. He now unlocked the door to his newly purchased condo, the next step in his new life.

It had taken him forever to find his Brother's condo he now looked at the door listening to Vaughan move about inside of it. His body still recovering he was not in the best of moods but he decided to stop by anyway to check his older sibling was alright.
Knocking at the door he waited a suitable amount of time before letting himself in closing the door behind himself.
“Hey... must have set you back a bit of cash”

Vaughan busily unpacked a small cardboard box on the kitchen counter, the open plan room ajoining the lounge doorway and doors to the back deck. He pressed the sides of the box down before plucking a small collection of books. looking over his shoulder when Romal opens the door he nods in typical acknowledgment.
"Hey..not exactly, i had some savings laying about and figured you know...space and shit" he shrugs
"err come on in i guess" he adds after a moment

"Yeah space there is plenty of that"
He didn't bother asking Vaughan where he had been, they had stopped doing that with each other a long time ago. It was part of who they were they never stayed still for to long.
Walking over to the boxes he started to help Vaughan unload things and flat pack the boxes once they were done.
"Do you miss living with her?"

"do we have to talk about her again?' Vaughan murmers with a long sigh, dumping a few towels on the bench beside them.
"yeah all the bloody time but thats why i moved, i cant be there around her all the time, its not going to help either of us." he replies "hopefully ill have hot neighbours" he smirks
"speaking of women what the hell is going on with you and Lita? you two still dancing around eachother?"

"No we don't have to" he replied not bothering to look at Vaughan he could see the expression he had upon his face by just hearing his voice.
He smiled at the later comment of the hot women and shrugged "I dunno sounds like its a busy building so maybe"
He handed him a few more books.
"Me and Lita, we were getting on then she pulled a vanishing act so you tell me? Maybe she found someone less disfigured"

"yeah maybe," he jokes, taking the books and stacking them to the side. he had a fair amount of items to unpack, perhaps the biggest pile of valuables he had owned since moving away from their first home. there were a few select boxes however which would be shoved into a closet somewhere, items owned at some point with Kenshu. He had stumbled across them when he had packed, somewhat confused as to whether he should give them to her or not. they werent important but still the presence of them raised the thought.
"so...have you spoken to Kenshu lately?' he asks Romal, looking over at him for a moment

Going through his brother's belongings he sorted them out into piles so it would be easier for him to chose where to put them deciding half way through he would raid the fridge for two beers he came back and handed one to Vaughan
"Yeah I have she didn't mention you" he shrugged not wanting to tell him to much about the state his ex had become.

His brother knew him all to well when he raided the fridge, Caine having taught him a little more recently about a love for alcohol they both seemed to share. hed given beer alot more thought since travelling had shortened his ability to transport a good drop of whiskey about. taking the offered stubby he takes the lid off using the edge of the kitchen bench and takes a drink
"well i guess if shes not cursing me thats a good sign" he shrugs

"Yeah but i'm not sure she would go off on a rant at me really" he shrugged taking a gulp of his beer.
"I think she had been occupied with her seer stuff"

"yeah probably" Vaughan murmered closing off the discussion after a moment. He flat packed the cardboard box given it was now empty and dumps it on the floor
"hell ive got to get used to this single crap..though cant say its all bad, more space" he shrugs

He laughed "We have swapped places, I think Lita is moving me into her condo down the hall, heads up her sister might be joining her. I'm not sure how I feel about being a 'kept' man yet I have never lived with anyone other then you lot, not sure I am capable of being nice to everyone all the time" he laughed

"mm we have indeed" Vaughan smiles with a small laugh. it surprised him to hear of Lita and Romal together as he had never been sure if they would patch things up, though the thought of Kenshu in the same area made his stomach flip with what could only be described as hesitance. it wasnt that he didnt want to be near he simply did not know.
"Im sure youll be fine, hell i think Lita will end up wearing the pants dude" he jokes

He shrugged chewing upon the skin on his knuckle "I'm not sure if it will work, we argue a lot dude but hell she wanted to give it a shot" he drank the rest of his beer.
"Do you want me to help you unpacking or putting shelves up or anything?" he asked looking around slowly.

"well you never know right, thats the thing about both of our families Romal, we're as stubborn as eachother with the same aggression." he replies looking around at the few boxes he had with him.
"Theres not too much to be honest, i never bought much when we moved here and the only things left are half a draw of clothes and a few books and journals" he explains though wanders across the room.
"...on second thought, perhaps its better i give this one to you then myself" he murmers picking up a small heavy box which held the contents of Kenshu's belongings that he had accumulated in his room over the time they were together. He had salvaged what he could from the blaze despite his anger on the day and had made sure to clean up any jewellery left tarnished by the flames. It showed that in some part of his empty chest he had cared deeply for her. though nowadays he tried hard to teach himself to forget the feelings.
