Strages was a fast driver, as usual. He wasn't exactly one to obey the law, any real law. Killing, stealing, speed limits. He did as he pleased, that was that. He wouldn't let this world limit him. Played by his own rules, down till the very end. It was almost scary to think of what extremes he may go through in death, just to will it to his own wishes. Anyway. While driving, he'd glance back to Aaron, even take hold of the heart pendent, to check on how he was doing. For the most part, the roads were empty, so speeding was an easy task. Once they pulled onto the road leading to the obscure location to the property in which he resided, it was completely empty.
They arrived in decent time, the driving male pulling up to park and kill the ignition. He slipped the keys back to his pocket when he got out, walking around the car to pick Aaron back up and take him in the house. The house which just so happened to be exploding with family. The large cabin was filled and bustling. Everyone heard the news, so everyone was up and about. The youngest daughter, Nardat, was off in the kitchen with her grandmother, trying her luck at cooking with the older one's advice. Liam was watching TV in the living room, boredly, just to pass the time. Intrepidus was with him on the sofa, though on the far opposite from him, curled up with a book. She'd read a bit of it, watch a small part of the show, and read some more. It appeared to be something on poetry, one of the books both she and her sister read. The truly most detached son, the one that used to suck up to the one father that he knew, he was sitting at the kitchen table, going over some sort of research papers. Even Ente, Nitidus and Ente's adopted son was there. Plus Aaron and Strages' grandson, Vivax. That group was conversing together, and trying to keep the young Kuhna entertained. Missing anyone? Possibly. There really was quite a group there.
Strages barged the door open with Aaron in his arms, and Liam was already on his feet and Nardat peeking around the corner from the kitchen. These two were particularly excited about finally being able to meet their other father, while the older of the siblings weren't so excited. They'd grown up too much and had divided too much previously to stay knit with everyone. Though Vivax wanted to know his other grandfather, since he was taken in by Strages and Strages loved Aaron. Liam would have greeted them happily, if only he hadn't seen his sickly father, well, sickly. He dodged out of their way, the one beelining it for the closest cushioned furniture, the cushion. "Intre, move." He didn't have time to be nice. The female jumped up from her place, switching the TV off as Strages lowered his lover onto the couch. Try to remain gentle, he attempted to wake him. "Aaron, Aaron. Love, wake up. I need to check up on you." He at least wanted to give him a warning.
And, by then, everyone who was interested was hovering about. Adze didn't leave his seat and papers, but he at least was looking in the direction to see what was going on.
