As per usual the theater was quite after the play. The theater man who's name was Dýo, stepped out of the theater doors once again, fans crowded until they felt as though they had to leave. 

Dýo sighed sadly. He knew the man wasn't going to be there, so he turned and to his great surprise, the man was there leaning against the wall, writing in that leather bound book. Quill scratching against the paper as he wrote.

Carefully, as if he where a wild animal, Dýo approached him, and quietly cleared his throat. The man looked up and nearly ran when he saw the theater man standing in front of him. He snapped his book shut stuffing it in his doctor bag while beginning to walk away.

"No wait!" 

Two single words slipped from Dýo's mouth as he took the man's wrist gently in his firm grip.

"Can't we just talk? I've needed to speak with someone other than some females who like me or males constantly asking to write a play for me."

The man groaned, slightly irritated, and turned around. Dýo was still hanging onto the man's wrist.

"Would you mind letting me go?"

  Dýo gave the man quite a serious look.

"I'll take that as a no."

The man mumbled.

"Well while we're here I might as well introduce myself. My name is Haselhurst, although everyone I know calls me Hazel, I already know your name is Dýo thanks to all those people."

Dýo cocked his head.

"Nice too meet you! I heard you don't have a permanent home so I wanted to know if you'd like to live with myself and my siblings."

Hazel turned his head back to the town and to Dýo. He sighed.

"I suppose a permanent home would be nice." 

He's said this quietly but Dýo still hugged him tight.

"Ooh there's so many things to show you and so much for you to see! Come on Hursty!"

Dýo said grabbing hold of Hazel's wrist again and running inside dragging him behind.

"Slow down will you?! And don't call me that!"

Dýo being Dýo, he didn't listen. Namasri who was walking around the stage in her usual white dress, noticed the two. 

"Dýo if you have a guest do not drag them around the theater we've been over this!"

She yelled as they disappeared into a hallway, nearly bumping into Solaris.

"Hey little brother watch what your doing. And do as your older sister told." 

He said pointing at him and leaving.

Dýo was the youngest of his two brothers and sister, and yet he ran the theater. So technically it was his house. 

Hazel stifled his laughter. Dýo shot him a look before continuing to walk down the halls.

"I just hope we don't run into Learchos." 

He mumbled.

Learchos was younger then Solaris but older then Namasri. He was the second sibling, and always picked on Dýo. 

Sure enough, they ran into Learchos.

"Well look at that Dýo finally got a friend."

Learchos teased, looking at the man Dýo had brought into the theater. Dýo groaned and shoved past his older brother. Who, in turn, reached a yellow tentacle back grabbing Hazel lifting him by his waist so he could have a better look at him, while holding onto his little brother with a different one.

"Hmm you'd make a fine actor and doctor some day."

Learchos said looking Hazel up and down with his golden ringed pupils. 

 "I am a doctor, now if you wouldn't mind I'd appreciate it if you'd put me down and let go of your brother."

Hazel's arms had been pinned but his sides when Learchos had grabbed him with the tentacle.

"Dýo is this the doctor you said you'd ask if he wanted to live with us?"

Dýo nodded and shoved Learchos' tentacle away from him. 

"Can you put him down so I can show him where everything is."

Learchos rolled his eyes and dropped him before walking away from them.

"He's an idiot who thinks he's better then everyone. You'll get used to it."

Dýo said helping Hazel up, who'd fallen on his back when Learchos dropped him. The two walked down the halls soon finding they he'd a few things in common.

They both enjoyed theater

Where decent enough at art

Liked books

Had annoying older siblimgs 

And they liked each other's company

"We have a spare room by mine. You can use that one. I can help you decorate!"

Dýo said excitedly. The purple rings around his pupils glowed with joy 

Hazel chuckled.

"Why not. Company and some help settling in would be nice. Since I do not know where things are you may have to give me a grand tour later."

Dýo nodded and showed Hazel to his room. It was larger then he'd expected, twin bed in one corner of the room an empty bookshelf a closet and a desk.

"This was a guest room but it's yours now."

Dýo happily said standing in the center of the room and spinning.

Hazel chuckled and set his bag on the desk.
