"I will be back in two hours. Call if you need anything." Aybora says giving a hug, "Just remember that you can break the charm if you want. I won't be mad."
And just like that Aybora leaves the area and takes a walk. Despite living in LA for a couple of months he's never really had the chance to take a break and walk around, often too busy renovating his and Buck's shared house and in his garden, so much so that he's never really wondered around town.
"Flowers blooming over Antarctica." he suddenly says to himself as he takes a stop and finally looks around, "Echo Park Lake? How'd I walk all the way here?" he says to himself as he texts Buck, 'I seem to have ended up in Echo Park Lake' 'Echo Park Lake. That's like over an hour away' Buck texts back, 'Yes, I know -_-' Aybora texts back, 'I was just telling you I will be late getting back' 'Aybie, you can create portals and you can also fly' 'Buck, darling, none of my portals are in fucking Echo Park Lake and I'm not familiar enough with this area for flying' 'XD yes, I know, you don't leave the house enough for that' 'Hardy har har. I was just telling you I was going to be late getting back' Aybora says through his last text before he shoves his phone in his pocket and makes the trek back.
It was a good hour into his walk back when he stopped suddenly as his tail twitched slightly and he looks around.
'starfruit, Scottish thistle, coastal air, and fresh black tea?'
he thinks to himself as he looks around slightly confused, "There's no Scottish Thistle in LA." he mumbles to himself as he walks in the direction of the scent, "It smells like home."
And he was right, there is no Scottish Thistle is Los Angeles, there is nothing that reminds him of home in Los Angeles, nothing but the scent of Scottish Thistle floating through the air. It took him a moment before he was tapped on the shoulder and turned around. "Hello." the man says cautiously, "...Hello..." Aybora responds after a moment as he continues to look at the man.
Neither of them say much as they continue to look at each other before Aybora chuckles, "Sorry. Didn't know what to say about the situation without making it weird." The other doesn't say anything for a moment before laughing, "It's alright, the name's Tommy Kinard."
"Alphecca Wintra, but you may call me Aybora."

"Sorry that took a bit Buck." Aybora says with a small smile and pleased look, "Ran into an unexpected situation." "Buck, who is this?" a feminine voice asks from next to him, "Maddie, this is Alphecca, and whom I share a family name with..." Buck explains, "He's like family to me and has been with me since Peru." "Peru." Maddie growls out as her tail whips around angrily, "How are you here then? I know the Von-Soriano Cartel and they don't let people go that easily." "Ah about that." Aybora chuckles out, "Von-Soriano no longer exists...As in there is a crater where their HQ now stands and where the entire upper echelon of the cartel was staying."
Buck just laughs at his sister's expression, "Yeah but that's a story for another time. Aybie's been with me since I first got there; not that I knew it at the end, and has been keeping me safe ever since due to his nature." "I have pictures." Aybora supplies, "But I'll have to give them to you later, I have a date."
Buck just whips around, "How!?" he yells out in surprise, "You don't like people and you never leave the house enough to meet them." "Ruith mi a-steach don chompanach agam air an t-slighe an seo." Aybora says with blush coating his face, "Really, good on you." Buck says with a smile, "Buck." Aybora says switching back to English, "Are you going to be alright if I leave you with Maddie or am I taking you home now?" "I'll be fine with my sister Papa Al." Buck says is a light manner, "No seriously, I'll be fine. We're going to have dinner, go have fun on your date."
"He seems like a good man." Maddie says watching Aybora leave and as Eddie walks closer to them, "He really is. He was much in the same situation as I was but he couldn't protest like I could." Buck says with a look on his face, "What do you mean?" Eddie asks suddenly, "From what he told me when he was a child he got tangled up in a rift that joined some realms together for a bit leading to him essentially being kept in stasis where he was sold over and over again before ending up in Peru with me." Buck says explaining a bit, "He'd been displaced from his home and had his form changed against his will. Sorry, if you want more you're going to have to have him explain more. I only know from what he told me and paperwork I could scrounge up and trust me, the only thing I could find was a missing person's file on his specie's network and that shit's top secret." "Top secret how?" Eddie asks with narrowed eyes,
"Did you really think Alphecca Wintra was his real name?"
