[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.]

[Unfortunately for Hunter’s quest for peace and quiet, Leo isn’t particularly good at either. He comes into the apartment in a flurry of action, tossing his bag into a chair at the kitchen table with the intention of heading straight to the cupboards for a snack. He’s always hungry after school, as it turns out.

He hasn’t gotten far before he realizes the sounds in the apartment aren’t from Huvrye.

He’d told Leo he’d given a key to another kid, of course; given his nature, Leo wasn’t surprised he had other kids under his wing. Sometimes he even noticed things moved around like said kid had been here. This is the first time he’s ever stuck around long enough for Leo to show up, though.

He was still wearing his disguise as he came in, so when Hunter looked he may have only gotten a glimpse of a Japanese teenager with sandy brown hair. Leo isn’t going to keep that up for long in his own house, though, so while Hunter is hiding in the pillows he drops it. Then he finishes his snack quest.

A half full bag of Cheetos and a soda in hand, he makes his way to the couch.]

Whoa sweet, what’s this?

[The production quality reminds him of Jupiter Jim, which is a compliment in his book. Don’t mind as he shoves five Cheetos in his mouth at once.]
