"S-smarter than what?" Braelyn snapped, whirling to glare at Lucian. That.... bastard was already here? So much for a chance of sleeping. Why! WHY??? TT^TT He ground his teeth, and smacked Fell's offered hand away. "I'm fine," he muttered, eyes narrow.
Archer scoffed, and walked past the group to examine the treehouse. "Why a treehouse of all things? You'd think Lucian would require something much fancier."
Fell sighed and backtracked over to Raphael, feeling very much outcasted. Oh well. No different than always, he supposed gloomily.

It took about a minute before Daemons earsplitting cry of happiness pierced the quiet forest. He was a blur as he ran past the others and grabbed a hold of the rope bridge. Within seconds he had managed to perform some near impossible twists, leaps and bounds till he was sitting happily next to Lucian, legs hanging down and swinging in the air.
"THIS IS AMAZING LUCE!! WHEN DID YOU GET THIS PLACE!?"
Lucian chuckled, unfazed by the impressive display of acrobatics having seen it a hundred times before.
"Well remember how you told me you always wished you could live in a tree house, even if it was just for a little while?"
Lucian smirked as his friend nodded his head furiously, eyes wide in childish excitement.
"Well I thought I'd let you live that little wish of yours."
Daemon squealed again, this time jumping up to squeeze the life out of Lucian as he hugged him in a rather violent manor.
Raphael shook his head at the two's antics. He should have known that Lucian had bought this place for him. It was even apparent to him that he would do anything for the spastic demon, even if Daemon was to dense to realize it. Pity. He glanced over at Archer's collected face wondering vaguely how this sight would effect the angel.

Braelyn barely managed to stop his jaw from dropping as he watched his brother. 'idiot monkey,' he thought, annoyed, deciding that he was going to start calling him Chango whenever he got the chance. With a sigh, he grabbed hold of the rope ladder and made easy work of pulling himself up it. He glanced around critically, sizing up the structure. Didnt look much like a tree house. More like a mansion in the canopy. Damn Lucian and his money to blow while the REST of them worked their asses off to pay simple rent.
Archer followed more slowly, aggravation darkening his eyes to a stormy gray color. He really hated that guy.... Walking across the platforms, Archer viewed the landscape around them with a bored expression. Unlike Braelyn, who was making his way further and further up into the wild branches of the tree, Archer really wasn't an outdoorsy kind of person. He wasn't expecting Braelyn to fall into place here though. He'd thought the demon was more of an ocean child. Glancing down at the two figures left on the ground, he smirked softly to himself. No way Fell would make it up the rope ladder in one piece. He was much too clumsy. Come to mention it, knowing the boy, he would probably fall over the edge of the platform should he make it up. Ahhh who was he kidding. Raphael would be keeping guard against such a situation...

Daemon whirled on his brother and pounced on him, crushing him as well. This was amazing! He couldn't be happier! He was here with his friends and his brother! His brother! This was a perfect opportunity for some lovely brother bonding time! He couldn't wait to smoother the boy! And keep him as far away from Lucian as possible. While he accepted their relationship he was by no means okay with it. Besides. Lucian was HIS and he wasn't fond of sharing.Raphael gazed up at the group and sighed heavily. No way was he going to let Fell climb up there. Not in a million years. With Daemon distracted as he was he doubted he would be able to catch Fell in time if he fell considering he was clearly the only one coordinated enough to perform those actions. Oh well.
The archangel closed his eyes and relaxed his body, breathing falling into a rhythmic pattern. He spread his arms and tilted his head back as a beam of white that formed at his core burst forth with blinding light forcing Lucian who was unfortunate enough to still be watching him to look away. As the light surrounded him the gentle feeling of heavenly feathers began to creep into the air as they took shape in midair. Thousands of feathers that emanated a sheen of white descended upon his back, taking the form of massive white wings. As the light dimmed Raphael lowered his arms and extended his hand to Fell.
"Come on, it will be safer this way."Ooc:// There's nothing more beautiful then an Archangels wings

Fell hesitated a moment before reaching out and lightly taking Raphael's hand and walking forward. His eyes, however, remained locked on Raphael's brilliant bouquet of white feathers, and a small, soft smile touched his face. He loved Raphael's wings, and treasured the few times he was able to see them. Feeling Raphael's arms tighten around his waist, he pressed his nose into his chest, willing himself to be lighter to make it easier on Raphael. Stupid klutziness, he thought with a sigh.

Raphael took flight, his wings flapping somehow noiselessly against the air as he took them up and landed almost elegantly on the deck that was wider than the walk ways. He set down the little demon and turned to look at Lucian.
"Hello Lucian, I see your short helicopter ride did nothing to dampen your spirits."
Lucian visibly flinched. While there was no bite in Raphael's words he looked far too imposing when his wings were out then should be physically possible. It was a nasty reminder of what Raphael really was and worse what he was capable of.
Daemon's eyes narrowed as he turned, his brother still in his arms, to glare heatedly at Lucian.
"What does he mean helicopter ride. Don't tell me we just spent four hours in a car for nothing!"

Fell stood slightly behind Raphael, watching Lucian's expression with surprise. Was... Lucian afraid of Raphael? He'd never seemed this uncomfortable before. Lucian had an air of confidence about him that Fell had never seen shaken like this.
"YOU TOOK A HELICOPTER?" barked Braelyn, as he wiggled out of Daemon's grip. "Way to be, lazy ass," he taunted, a mixture of a grimace and a grin stretching across his face. The landscape had set him in a sudden, surprisingly good mood, and he was in the mood to banter playfully.
Archer groaned, rubbing the bridge of his nose, and turned away from the group, heading into the house. This wasnt his thing. But whatever. As long as Daemon was excited. He eyed each bedroom individually, before finally picking one out and settling down lazily on the enormous king sized bed.

Ooc:// Yeah I know Braelyn's in the tree and Daemon swinging up there and pouncing on him was on purpose. Daemon's just... yeah he has no regard for safety XD
Daemon unceremoniously slipped behind his brother again and shoved him rather violently out of the tree, cackling a little bit. He watched his brother fall, a cry on his lips that he refused to release, only to be disappointed when Lucian moved instantly to catch him. Bastard! He wanted to see Bra-chan squirm!
Lucian caught the demon with ease, snarling up at Daemon. He could tell with just one look Daemon was far more irritated then usual... which could prove problematic.
"Daemon... please refrain from injuring any of my guests. I can't have a fatal injury showing up on the report for this place," Lucian practically growled as the other swung down and practically bared his teeth.
"Fine," Daemon snapped before turning away and marching to find where Archer had vanished to. He would at least give him a good time.
Lucian let go of Braelyn who was now struggling to break free and grinned at him.
"Well you couldn't honestly expect me of all people to sit in a smelly car singing driving songs. I am far too refined for that. Besides, it's the easiest way to get here since there is a landing pad near the lake."
Raphael turned to Fell and with a short burst of light his wings released their shape and the feathers swirled around the two before gradually evaporating into dust. He took Fell's hand and gently took him away from the two, a little uneasy with leaving Braelyn alone with Lucian but he trusted the younger demon to NOT give into the older. Or at least he hoped he wouldn't. The pair walked from tree to tree inspecting each room to figure out where everything was. He had to practically drag Fell away from the kitchen when he saw it. It was most likely a kitchen of his dreams if the way his eyes sparkled was any form of a hint. When the pair finally reached a cluster of trees that contained guest bedrooms he released the boys hand.

Braelyn scowled playfully at him, and took a step away. "You're a lazy ass," he scoffed, and but both hands behind the back of his head. "Nice place though," he said, eyes tracing the tree-mansion thoroughly. "How much did it cost you?"
"Think Lucian will let me use the kitchen?" Fell asked once the two of them had settled into the room. He glanced over at Raphael earnestly, smilingly slightly. "It's like a kitchen from the movies!" He sat down on the bed, looking around the mellow pink room with wide eyes. It was the most modest of the rooms- the others having showers and toilets that opened out into the main sleeping area. The Pink room was more closed and quiet, with bright windows that let in large amounts of light.
Archer glanced up as Daemon walked into the room, and smirked. "What? Get bored of Lucian?" he teased, and stretched his arms above his head, letting himself fall backward onto the bed. "Impressive. I was expecting another hour to myself."
Ooc:// Fail descriptions are fail XD

Daemon pouted before crawling onto the bed and hovering over the angel.
"What's that supposed to mean? Besides..." Daemon said, his face turning dark as he toppled onto his back next to Archer, annoyance clear on his face. "I'm sure he'll want some alone time with my brother."
Raphael shrugged his shoulders, honestly unsure of what Lucian would allow. He took a seat on the bed and relaxed into it. He knew he would have to go back to the car to get everyones belongings since they had all left them, much to his absolute annoyance, so he was going to spend a few moments relaxing while he could.
Lucian let out a bark of laughter before shaking his head, "You don't want to know... and I don't want to think about how many years worth of extra cash I lost over it..."

Fell snuggled closer to Raphael, pressing his face into the archangel's chest. "What is bothering you?" he asked softly, his voice slightly muffled by the soft fabric of Raphael's shirt. "It seems like something more than just lack of sleep..."
Archer blinked, and glanced over at Daemon. "You sound so bitter. Why does it irritate you so much?" He turned onto his side, one eyebrow raised. "Cuz if its because you're jealous, I can make that feeling disappear." He grinned, showing his teeth with the smile.
Braelyn growled lowly. "And yet you never help with the rent. Would it kill ya?"

Raphael let out a heavy sigh and wrapped one arm around Fell, holding him close.
"It's nothing. Or at least it's nothing to worry about."
Daemon returned Archer's smile but it fell almost instantly.
"It's not that," he mumbled frowning, "It's just that... I... I don't know... I just... ugh!" He rolled over to face Archer on his side. "I know Lucian and I know his habits. I know for a fact that he's using him! That's just what he does! He uses everyone including me. He's conniving, evil, and a downright asshole. And Braelyn... shit he's... he's the type to fall for someone without even meaning to or noticing it. I don't want him to get too close to Lucian... he'll get hurt if he does."
"Heh, it's more fun to let you suffer," Lucian smirked as he ruffled the boys hair just to piss him off.

Fell furrowed his eyebrows, and pulled back slightly to look Raphael face to face. "But I do worry!" His face fell, and he looked rather close to a lost puppy.
Archer sighed, running his fingers through his hair. "Least you care," he murmured. "Have you talked to Braelyn about it?" He grimaced, thinking of the younger boy's face if Daemon did that. Stupid Braelyn was so stubborn. He probably blew off Daemon's concern with an angry growl and nasty comments. Hell- the boy was probably already in way too deep. Way over his head. Archer hated Lucian with a passion, and felt sorry for Daemon that he had to deal with the ass...
Braelyn scowled, folding his arms over his chest. "Jerk," he muttered, eyes drifting up to Lucian's face. Eyes darkening briefly, a whirlwind of emotions crossed his face. He didnt know how to feel anymore. He couldn't exactly say that he hated Lucian, but he could hardly recognize the feelings as "respect" or "like."

"Thank you," Raphael whispered more to himself than to Fell as he absently traced patterns in the boys back. "Though it's honestly nothing for you to be concerned about. There's nothing I can do about it or who I am so it really doesn't matter."
Daemon let out a bitter laugh, "As if he'd listen to me! I'm not as stupid as everyone thinks I am. I know he hates me. Besides if anything I'd rather approach Lucian about it but that'll just end up in an all out brawl like it always does and I'll either be killed or come back on the brink of death." Daemon knew he sounded hopeless but what could he do about it? For all the shit they gave each other Lucian was still his BEST FRIEND, a fact most seemed to forget since they rarely showed the others how they really act around each other. Fighting him always ended badly... bastard always did know just how to handle him when he was pissed.
Lucian gave him his signature grin and turned to walk away, "Come on. I'll show you around. There's a lot more to see then you'd think."

Archer grimaced and sat up, eying Daemon in frustration. "Braelyn doesn't hate you. You're just a bit overbearing, and he doesn't know how to react. He's socially awkward. And his first response to everything is anger. Just watch him. He acts that way with everyone. And honestly, I think he really respects you. But he doesn't know how to react to that idea. So he lashes out." Archer sighed and leaned forward, brushing his lips against Daemon's forehead. "Relax. Its not that bad. And if Lucian fucks with his brain, you'll be there to comfort him." God, he hated monologues. But they were helpful sometimes.
Fell pressed his forehead to Raphael's, closing his eyes in silent reverie. He was worried, and as time passed, the feeling only grew. He was exhausted, spending most nights so focused on Raphael, that he couldn't sleep. Not that he'd let the archangel know that. Pretending to be asleep was the best he could do, though. Something was bothering Raphael, but Fell couldn't for the life of him think of what that something was...
Braelyn blinked, and followed Lucian slowly. "Its a treehouse. How intricate can you get?" he asked sharply, flattening his hair again with his fingers. In the distance, the sun was almost midway through the sky, destroying all shadows, and surprisingly, all sense of worry from the boy.
Ooc:// foolish boy...
