Stumbling upon property was never easy and fixing it was just as hard but so far it had at least a shape and a lot of healing had went into himself so he could get it about half done. Hunter may have been the favorite twin, but Hayden was the more rounded, better and hard working. He had never expected it to come easy and the last thing he expected was also such a sweat but thanks to the jars he had gotten from Daphne the foundation of this house came together easier than expected. This story though, not one of magic, no one of just hard work paying off.  He tossed this thought back and forth between his head before finally just placing his phone down and speaking. "Leave a message for X. Wingard please," he said as the hotel kept directing him to the last room that she had been in during her stay. "Hello Xanthe, hope this finds you healthy and well. I did a little research on the house, sadly it dates back to nothing but a few historical figures that no one seems to know nothing about. I came down to the slums to get more materials and figured I'd give it a deeper look when I take a break. Hope all is working out. Hayden. Maybe they were friends he did not know, all he knew was that Gillian seemed okay with it and so he was okay with it too. The angelic flow of his healing powers had left dust in the air though as he slightly coughed. Maybe she was having more luck with her adventures. Xanthe Wingard |

As it turned out Xanthe was in the process of flying back into Ashford Island. She'd been trying to find a job and sort out the XAND company accounts so that could be wrapped up to officaldoms satisfaction back home. However Radio Ashford had gotten back to her and after a remote interview and more mulling over the candidates she had been offered a job a radio presenter. This message pinged onto her phone in Miami airport. She wasn't entirely surprised to hear what Hayden had found out which made this mansion his. She did sent a message back saying "Hi Hayden. At least the claim you have is strong given nobody likely owns it. I drew a blank too as you know but I do have good news. I'll be back by tomorrow. I was offered a job as a radio presenter in Radio Ashford which I accepted and right now I'm waiting on a flight in Miami. We'll be talking face to face before you know it". She sounded quite cheerful and then boarding was called. Going back to the island was a reality. Hayden Quinzell |

A what? Well a google search took care of him knowing what that was. That was..exciting..different. "Oh," he texted back. "Okay, well congratulations! It calls for cake or a pie or a coffee, anything with a sweet tooth." It would be his death. Seriously he had seen the future where his life was ended face down in a chocolate chip cookie, not great but the last bite f'n delicious he had figured. He thought a second and then texted back. "That really is fantastic news look at you striding and yes which means me fixing it. Should be simple in one way, well after the hard tear down which is okay. Stay safe." Xanthe Wingard |

Seeing the texts arrive as she headed to her plane Xanthe smiled. So a quick texting happened before she had to turn it off. “We can do that Hayden. Let me see the plans once I’m in the hotel”. Then a few hours later she was showing her passport and getting her luggage. Staying here would mean putting a lot more things into storage back home but you went where the work was. So once she got to the hotel room and unpacked her case she texted Hayden to let him know she had arrived. It was late but not too late for something sweet with coffee. Hayden Quinzell |

He hardly slept anyway as he looked over the text and dusted himself off as he looked over his hands. Small knicks here and there from the working but he quietly looked at them and clasped them together as they slowly healed. "Thank goodness," he said. He made his way to the hotel and took a seat in the lobby as he had figured maybe it would be easier to get sweets and caffeine in the hotel rather than go out but he was up for either.

The hotel restaurant hadn't closed yet as Xanthe made her way down to the lobby. She'd sleep soon enough as she spied Hayden and gave him a wave before moving over to where he was. "I didn't expect to be back so soon. I'd applied for the job while I was here but it took a while to get to the interview stage" she cheerfully said. Then added "we could go to the restaurant and skip to the dessert course" as a suggestion. The mansion wasn't a protected building as far as she could figure out; especially if nobody owned it for decades but local laws could surprise you. That would need to be checked as well but it would be nice to at least keep the exterior in place. "How much do you think you'll have to tear down of the mansion?" she also asked. If he was at this stage she assumed he'd at least got the pest exterminator out. Hayden Quinzell |

"I did not think that you would be back so soon either but if you want to get out again there are a lot of places around here and you can always go out too, meet friends and stuff like that." He was such a positive person for the most part when he was not kidnapping people which for the time being he had under control which was good. "Also fishing villages and villages in the normal sense are a thing also." "Dessert before food?" He loved this idea. "Yes I am in and let me see a little over half," he said as he thought about it. "I think that it will be beautiful once it is done and as long as I keep my chocolate around it will be fine." Xanthe Wingard |

“I didn’t think so either but at least I seen some of the sights during the first visit” Xanthe replied. She felt comfortable round Hayden and added “it was only a brief stop at the fishing village but we can have a better look”. A smile followed as she’d have two people to trust right away. Hayden and Derek. The latter looked like he’d be here for a while as well. “It sounds like you have this worked out. A place for all the family away from the city is great. My father kept a mobile home for our holidays and even those involved a bit of work”. So off to the restaurant they went. As Xanthe had dined already and would be going to the radio station the next day just a piece of triple chocolate cake was enough. Before long she’d have a routine figured out but that depended on what time slot her show would be on. Most likely the night show or a late evening one. Hayden Quinzell |

He did not trust people easily so even if he did he knew that if they did that, they would need to be careful. "I do not think that they would mind visitors but that is me being hopeful." People did not trust those they did not know for good reasons he thought but each person different of course. He laughed and shook his head. "I have hope that I do have it worked out but honestly probably nowhere near close at all." That kept him realistic which was good. "You looking forward to your show?" he asked once they were inside and seated at the restaurant. As far as his sweet tooth, he would have too much but it would be okay. "I am getting white chocolate cheesecake, triple chocolate cake, and chocolate raspberry cake." Okay maybe it was slightly out of control the more he tried to work but a project in the works deserved all the sweets. "The fruit seems to be always in season here so that chocolate raspberry better be true decadence." Not that he would complain if it were not. Xanthe Wingard |

“I am looking towards it. I’ll know after the meeting tomorrow but new presenters do tend to get the late shows. The breakfast show along with the mid morning slot is usually the most prized in any radio station so the experienced DJ’s get those” Xanthe replied. “It did look like a big and a long job when we looked it over”. Which it would be. “That looks like a lot for a late night snack and knowing the fruit is in season all year round is good to know” she added. Everybody could be different. She knew that.

"So you might be on in the wee hours of the morning like 2 or three or you might get the worker's hours like 5?" That would take a sleepng adjustment but most jobs and new places in life did. "I think that while it will take time it will also keep me busy which is good for my not so good habits," he said honestly. "I mean everyone has good and bad right so hobbies help." As far as his eating sweet habit. "Well," Guilty as charged really. "I was going to share but I mean if you eat this you might be up all night and I cannot have that on my conscience so really I am doing it completely for your good," he said as he laughed. It was a joke granted he was not good at jokes. Xanthe Wingard |

Xanthe smiled and replied “I’m more likely to need the coffee and fruit during the night. I doubt I’d get an office hours show so late evening, nighttime or early morning look most likely. You look like you’d burn off that much fuel anyway”. She knew hobbies were good to have in any case. “I’ll be sleeping anyway even with coffee as it was two flights to get here” she chuckled. It would have been longer by boat but at least she’d have arrived rested. Flying did take it out if you. Hayden Quinzell |

"True, fruit is better and coffee well no one is ever going to convince me that coffee is bad," he said. His eating habits though straight from childhood and he was even adjusting now since there was a little him here but he found it was okay. "Well when you get famous, because it happens eventually and all those cameras start flashing in your face you can remember the simpler times. People say it helps." He thought it did but not everyone wanted to look back on them too and he respected that as well. "Oh well I only look like I do now because I was a fat kid. I don't blame my parents for it they could not have pryed much out of my hands even if they wanted to, growing up however I had to shed the weight and get on a regimen and well it stuck with me more than it should." He nodded. "Sleep is important," he said as he looked over his sweets still not feeling guilt about it. Sometimes not feeling guilt was bad but this was not the case. "Everyone needs a solid eight hours," he said as he took his eyes of his fork a second and hit his hand. He was a much easier bleeder than his brother which was not always good. None the less he ran his hands across it and watched it heal as he grabbed a napkin and cleaned the blood up. "Sorry but yes a solid eight hours or you might start to function weird and that, that is hard to come back from." Xanthe Wingard |

Xanthe knew from family photos that she’d been similar to Hayden at the start but as she got more active by cycling in junior high and fitting in physical activity round her studies she’d gotten to the body shape she had now. “I understand that Hayden and my weird world USA broadcasts are still on YouTube. That was a team effort and you have to start somewhere. That was my simpler time. You always start small and build up from there” she replied sipping her coffee. “I was similar growing up and I discovered cycling before junior high. I didn’t do any school sports but I also discovered the gym at high school. Now the gym is a regular thing” she added and then seen him miss the bit of pudding and cut himself. Then seen it heal by itself. “It that your ability?” she posed. Hayden Quinzell |

Youtube. It was such a cespool of ads now but he was still going to look it up. "Everyone does have to start somewhere," he thought that was crucial along with not forgetting such a fact as he fixed himself so he could eat his food because if he ever left sweets alone someone might as well cut his hands off. The gym being regular? He slowly blinked at that and thought maybe yeah that worked for a lot of others. "Yes," he said. "Don't use it much though. I mean it extends out a little more than that but at the basis but I try to stay away from anywhere that might be dangerous." He was going to leave out the bit about using it and it feeling weird, he attributed that part to his twin. "My twin and I might as well be opposites which is the point of having a twin once you are older I think." Xanthe Wingard |
