Welcome to Gaia! ::

This one was stubborn and highly resistant to Callum's methods. As impressed as Callum was, the man's resistance only pissed him off. He was not a nice man when he was angry. "What do you want us to do with him, boss?" "...Nothing. I'll find a way to make him talk." He just needed to find out how. Leaving the interrogation room, Callum returned to his and saw Autumn and Bane were gone. So was the dog. They probably went out on a walk, or shopping. Speaking of which, they needed to restock on salt and lemons. Unlocking the cabinet in his wardrobe, he looked through their prisoner's thing to see if he could find any leverage on him. Sure enough, he did. A photo of him, a young woman, and an older bedridden woman, probably in her thirties and presumably the kid's mother and the man's wife. There was nothing he could do to the woman, since she didn't seem to have any legs and was already suffering, but he could use the daughter. "Oi....Hey!" "Yes, sir?" "Bring me the younger woman in this photo." The man left to do as told, and Callum put the photo back before returning to his interrogation. Here's to hoping the man actually loved his family.

Autumn looked down a bit sheepishly at the shopping cart comment. He knew he was getting a lot of stuff but he wanted to be prepared for Kasei and what he would need to do with the dog.

When they went up to the counter, Bane paid and asked about the courses the store offered. The golden haired boy wasn't happy they thought Bane wanted to train Kasei to be violent. He smiled when Bane stated he would have gotten a different type of dog. As Autumn heard that they offered guide books he nodded at wanting one. He was surprised at how expensive the classes were and wondered if he should try to train Kasei by himself.

Autumn nodded, he was ready to go home anyways. He didn't like the looks they were getting, and he was sure that Bane wasn't enjoying having people see him as soft. If he thought it would help, he would have Bane yell at him or something, but he didn't think the man would do that. When they were ready to leave Autumn took back Kasei's leash.

"Hmm something that smells like me. I would say I could put in some of my older outfits, maybe what I wore last night." He was thinking of the different things he could put in for Kasei. "Putting his kennel near the bed would be a good idea, if he gets lonely I can comfort him easily."

Autumn thought Bane's approach was much better then his own. "Good idea." He stated simply before Kasei darted in front of Bane. Autumn was happy that Bane was faster and pushed the dog out of the way before he got hurt. Autumn scooped up the puppy and held him close. "Sorry Bane, I didn't think about that. Kasei isn't fully grown yet, but he is pretty strong for being so little."

He looked at a few of the people they walked by and he shook his head. They didn't know how nice Bane really was, but for his line of work Bane had to be seen as cruel and threatening. "When we get home, will you help me set up for Kasei? He should stay in one room. Autumn wasn't sure where the best place for Kasei would be. Since the teen shared the beds of Bane and Callum, he really didn't have his own room, and he didn't want his own place to sleep. If he was going to be changing rooms, Kasei would need a stable place to sleep and not get moved around. It was something he really had to think about.

"I think your room would be better, if Kasei does anything puppyish you wont be so upset." Autumn said knowing that it was a better plan to have Kasei be with Bane then Callum. Not to mention the fact that if Kasei jumped into bed with them, Bane was alright with it, he wasn't sure how Callum would react.

As they returned to the distillery Autumn set Kasei back down and let the puppy walk into the building. Autumn was relaxed in the place he called home and he smiled at Bane. "We don't have to set things up now. I do want to put his food and water bowl down though. Im sure after all that walking Kasei will be thirsty and tired." Right now putting Kasei's bed down would be fine and if the puppy was tired he would go to it and rest, well that is what Autumn would hope.

Autumn nodded and smiled. He liked what Bane had suggested with the water bowl and where to place everything. "That sounds like a plan. Im sure this little guy is pretty thirsty right now. He did walk a long ways for being so young." Okay so he was pretty sure that Kasei wasn't that young, but he was a puppy and while they had energy, they still wore out quickly.

"We could get a basket for his toys and try to teach him to put them away when he is done with them." The teen couldn't help but smile at hearing Bane wouldn't worry about being sweet with him now that they were home. "That is true, you don't have to worry about your reputation with the rest of the gang." He stated after a large smile formed.

As soon as Bane brought up covering up Kasei for intimate moments he blushed his cheeks going bright red. "Bane! I know you don't like an audience, but he is a dog... is it really that important?" He asked though he was aware he made a bit of noise during such moments and he often wondered if the rest of the gang could hear them. The thought of having Kasei locked up in the same room during such a time was embarrassing, perhaps they could have the puppy outside during such things. He really didn't want the dog to think Bane was hurting him or something, if he was in the kennel and that happened Autumn was worried that Kasei would hurt himself.

"Alright, I get it. It would be better if Kasei were not in the room with us then, I don't want him to hurt himself if I start to make noise." He said blushing as he looked down at the ground even as he nodded and put the bowl on the ground near the bathroom where it was out of the way.

When Bane kissed him and started to leave for the kennel Autumn unleashed Kasei and filled up the water dish. He was happy that they were all home again and now he was able to relax. Kasei had everything he needed and Autumn started to place the things where he wanted them. Once the teen felt everything was in a good spot Autumn went to the closet and pulled out a shirt he didn't usually wear and put it on. Might as well get started on making something smell like him for his puppy.

Callum was furious. He'd reached that level where he was as calm as the air just before a storm came in and obliterated everything. He'd done everything short of lifting the girl's skirt or flat out slaughtering her. This man wasn't giving in. Even when she begged her faher to talk. The guy was heartless, and that was probably what infuriated him the most. Leaving the interrogation room, he noticed Bane pushing a kennel down the hall. Most likely for Autumn's puppy. He stepped in Bane's way and looked at him, eyes and tone completely calm. "Interrogate him. I don't care what you do to him or our hostage. Break him, and get him to tell us everything about who sent him and why. If he doesn't talk by the end of the day, kill the girl and leave him to watch her rot." Looking at the kennel, he asked where the dog was staying before Bane disappeared into the interrogation room. Callum took the kennel to Bane's room for him, and entered the room. He didn't even notice Autumn or Kasei at first as he stored the cage in the closet like Bane said he was going to do. Only when he turned did he notice Autumn and the dog. "...How was the trip to the store?"
