Raven smiled and blushed a little bit, " N-no.. you're always very gentle with me which I appreciate. I can't remember a time you weren't gentle actually. Then again I am always wounded so being anything but might just hurt me more. "

"I guess that's true...And I would never want to hurt you," he said, the gears in his head starting to work...And then Ash came in. He was about to say something and then spotted Rowan.

Raven heard the actual Ash came in and looked to him.. and then the look of confusion hit her, she looked back to Rowan.. they looked almost the same. She had to think for a moment before connecting the dots. " Wait.. you're not Ash.. "

Rowan swore and kissed her quickly yet somehow gently...Ash threw the food on to a counter and shoved him away from Raven. "What do you think youre doing?" Ash demanded. Even though the kiss was quick, Rowan's lips were soft, elegant, smooth, alluring, a little bit swollen at the moment, and some might even say addicting. So basically, the brothers' kisses weren't quite matching. Rowan ignored Ash and said to Raven, "You're right. And neither of you can do anything about it because, technically, I never said I was Ash."

Raven blushed at the kiss, she wasn't quite sure what to feel, but at this moment she was just very upset about it. " Yeah, but I called you by Ashes name and you didn't correct me! "

"But I never claimed to be him. Not verbally, anyway." Rowan pointed out. He turned to Ash. "Yeah, mom isn't happy about you running off with some girl." Ash was confused. "Um...what? I didn't, though."
"Well, that's what she thinks. Don't shoot the messenger."
"Why not? I have every reason to!"
Rowan ignored this and instead said, "Maybe you can win mom's favoritism back by begging for mercy from her."
Ash rolled his eyes. "Yeah, okay."

Raven couldn't really argue with that, so she just stayed quite and listened to them.

They argued for a while longer before Ash said, "I don't want to be her favorite! I'm done with her, you and Sage, okay? Now, since you're the messenger, you should go deliver that message."
"Oh, little brother. You know that if I tell her that she's gonna wanna come here and then her suspicions will be confirmed. And you k ow how that's gonna end..."
Ash was silent for a moment before asking, "why are you here?"

Raven was confused, and a little worried but she still was quite, not wanting to ask a stupid question.. She would ask Ash when this person left.

"That's none of your business, little brother. Only big kids are allowed to know."
Ash rolled his eyes at that. "Yeah, that's real nice now get out."
"Someone's not too happy to see me, are we?"
"Rowan. Get. Out." Ash said, his voice firm and almost threatening.
