Who: Hunter
basbutsadboy and Leo

What: Meeting in Huvrye's Apartment
When: After the Confluence
Where: Huvrye's Apartment
Content Warnings: N/A
[Hunter likes having multiple places to hang out now. It's a strange feeling, after years of spending most of his time in the palace, typically holed up in his room whenever he wasn't on a mission, going through coven trials, or practicing. Now he has the apartment with Eda which is still a little sparse but rapidly becoming cozy.]
[Then there's Jason's. Dylan's house. He's also been welcomed to the Hurly Burly house with its friendly ghosts.]
[And now Huvrye has given him a key to his place. It's a good place to go for some peace and quiet. The Owl Lady has a bit of a rambunctious personality that Hunter sometimes needs a break from. And Eda sometimes needs her "me" time, as well. It's hard to share such a small apartment when one of them is used to a sprawling magical house that's bigger on the inside than the outside, and the other is used to a palace.]
[So sometimes he goes to Huvrye's for peace and quiet - and to let Eda get her own space.]
[So far he's mostly done it while the other teen Huvrye told him about has been at school. Partly so he could have said peace and quiet. Today, he's stayed late though, because he's watching a new (old) human TV show utterly enthralled.]
[Final Frontier. It's about humans in the future who have developed a peaceful society and go out into space on adventures exploring. In special space boats.]
[So far his favorite character is Ensign Zak Torr, someone who is secretly a cloned lackey of Captain Hunt's most hated enemy, who managed to join Spacefleet without them knowing what he is.]
[Leo will walk in to see a sci fi show on the TV with rubber face aliens. Lying on his stomach on the floor, clinging to a throw pillow, completely absorbed, is a blonde human-ish teenage boy. Only human-ish because of the pointy ears and magenta eye color.]
[His left bicep has two scars that are still a little pink from recent healing, entry and exist wounds from a bullet.]
[He is so captivated he barely spares a glance as Leo comes in. When he sees it's not Huvrye, he just assumes it's the other teenager that has a key.]
[He hisses at the screen.]
No, don't take him on the ship! You're ignoring the captain's orders about quarantine procedures!
[He pulls another pillow onto his head with both hands and half hides his face, clearly anxious about what's on the screen. It's not a bad anxiety. It's more like someone watching scary movies and enjoying it, hiding behind their friend at the movies.]

[Luckily, he was more prepared this time when trying to survive alone. He'd used his guild card to buy and cache supplies around the city.]
[But the first time, when he ran away from Belos and was hiding at Hexside, he was picking food out of the trash.]
You probably made the right choice. If the guilds do eventually do something bad, Huvrye won't let them do anything to you.
And it's not easy living on the street. Before one of the adults from back home, Eda, showed up here and I went to live with her, I tried and it blew up in my face.
I would've gone with Huvrye after that, but I didn't know him as well then, and I didn't want to live with someone that needed to be involved with the guilds to get by.
[Since he'd struggle to hide his wings.]
It all worked out anyway. Eda is good at hiding from the eyes of the law because she used to be the most wanted criminal on the Boiling Isles.
[Now that Hunter is not basically a cop, he can appreciate that about her. Enough to enthuse about her a little bit, because it is kind of cool getting to live with a criminal. Even if she's a lot less impressive when you see her shuffling around in her slippers.]
No one was able to catch her, even though we all looked for her.

It would have been lonely.
So he thinks he made the practical choice. Even if it makes him feel slimy.
Though he likes to think he can protect Huvrye just as much as he can protect Leo, thank you very much!]
Hah, so you're living with some kind of epic criminal mastermind? That's pretty cool, actually.
[Assuming she's not the "destroy humanity" kind of criminal. And okay, Leo knows that if Raph were here he'd frown on Leo endorsing other, more mundane kinds of criminal behavior, but he can't help if television has made it look glamorous.]
Pretty lucky that someone like that showed up. Especially if you're trying to dodge the guilds.
