*The first thing Rudolf felt was a spinning so dizzying that it made him nauseous. The second was a cold rush of...well, not air, though it felt that way.
Suddenly he found himself standing in an unfamiliar, somewhat cluttered living room. Treszka let go of his hand and spun around gleefully*
"Wasn't that awesome???"
*He slowly breathed in and out, trying to regain his composure*
"What...what did you just do?"

"Teleported, duh. Me and dad and Alexei can do it."
"Teleport...?" Rudolf asked weakly, still fighting down his nausea.
"Yup! You get used to it--it's lots of fun."
*She turned, facing the rest of the apartment, and bellowed:*
"HEYYYY, MOOOOOOM!"

*Rudolf winced at the high volume of her voice. As she disappeared into another room, he glanced around the apartment, slowly regaining his senses and able to take in his surroundings.*

*Treszka immediately came back out of the room she'd disappeared to, a contrite look on her face. Der Tod was right on her heels.*
"You can't just go screaming through--"
*The rest of his words died on his lips when saw Rudolf.*

"Treszka, what's the- oh."
*She entered the room from the kitchen, her eyes widening when she saw that Rudolf and der Tod were in the same room. She shook her head, pretending everything was normal.*
"Hello again," *she said to Rudolf, moving subtly so that she was standing between them in an effort to keep peace.*

*Rudolf, for his part, looked like a deer caught in headlights. He'd none-too subtly started backing away toward the front door.*
"H-hello. Er, I don't mean to intrude, but Treszka is a very tenacious girl and she all but dragged me here..."
*He was talking rather fast, and though the words were meant for Renn his gaze seemed locked with der Tod's*

*Sensing one hell of a rise in tension, Treszka beat a hasty exit to her room.
Tod didn't say anything, or even move from his spot. He just held a steady gaze, his expression unreadable.*

"Rudolf, it's okay- you're not intruding."
*This, she realized would be the perfect opportunity for them to get over their awkwardness so that this bizarre not-family could actually work. Or something. She gave der Tod a look, and gently touched Rudolf's arm.*
"Don't go."

*He stopped his retreat, finally tearing his eyes away from Tod's unnerving gaze to look Renn in the eye*
"Oh. Well, I don't know if I'm entirely welcome..."
*As he trailed off, his eyes flicked back to der Tod before returning to Renn*

*He shrugged*
"I don't care, go or stay." He said in an uncaring tone.
In all actuality, his calm demeanor was a façade. Aside from Renn, it seemed that Rudolf was the only other person that could rile him up like this.*

*Renn rolled her eyes, not at all fooled by der Tod's supposed lack of interest. She had a few choice things to say to him, but she stopped herself, in front of Rudolf.
She could feel the tension in the air and didn't like it one bit.*
"You're very welcome. Actually, I think it's time that you two had a talk."
((Now it is the right occasion, for a private conversation... *Head/desk*))

((Argh NO))
"Talk? What's to talk about? We've said everything we need to."
*He was still acting like a skittish horse, but he'd at least calmed down a bit that he wasn't speaking in a rush*

*He snorted*
"More than enough."
*Somewhere in the back of his mind, a tiny little voice was willing Rudolf to stay*

((I'm sorry! The terrible... it invades your BRAIN!))
"Wrong. If you two are so damn sexually frustrated awkward around each other that you can't be in the same room then thee are issues to be worked through."
*She crossed her arms stubbornly.*

*There was a stubborn set to Rudolf's shoulders*
"Only if he promises to behave."
*He said it as though it were a joke, but his serious expression belied what he was really thinking*
