Isolated Black Swan Base

[Emily ~Autumn, Winter~, First-in-Command]

Harmony pouted up at him. "Yeah huh because my face is red."

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"So?" Noil smiled. "I don't care."

[Emily ~Autumn, Winter~, First-in-Command]

That made Harmony smile. "What did I do to deserve you in my life?"

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"Absolutely nothing, well maybe except that your amazing baking skills draw me to you," Noil hugged her tighter.

[Emily ~Autumn, Winter~, First-in-Command]

Harmony chuckled softly. "You're too kind."

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"I may be," Noil said. "But being kind is better than being a jerk."

[Emily ~Autumn, Winter~, First-in-Command]

"True true." Harmony hugged him back. "Do you wanna get back to your place? The cold winds are going to start soon."

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"Sure," Noil walked her back to his new home. "I have to wait a full day before we can watch this Star Wars, huh?"

[Emily ~Autumn, Winter~, First-in-Command]

"Yes you do because you'd have to come over to my place because I have the tv there that has all of them. Plus I need all that time to prep the movie food. Have you ever had popcorn?" Harmony asked.

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"Popcorn," Noil simply said, opening his door. "Never heard of it."

[Emily ~Autumn, Winter~, First-in-Command]

"Good!" Harmony grinned. "It's one of the things humans have completely perfected."

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"Hm," Noil smiled then yawned. "I think I'm gonna end on out. Thank you again for the dessert. Oh! Do you want some?"

[Emily ~Autumn, Winter~, First-in-Command]

Harmony chuckled and patted his cheek. "Nah I'm good. Thanks for offering though." She smiled. "Have a good night Noil. Try not to get kidnapped."

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

*Skipped to Afternoon* ((Hope that was fine.))

Noil was setting down blankets on the couch for Harmony so they could watch Star Wars.

[Emily ~Autumn, Winter~, First-in-Command]

((Yay!))

Harmony glittered into view on the front lawn and waved to Laurel. She went and knocked on the front door.

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

Noil rushed to the door and smiled when he saw it was Harmony.
"You're here!"

[Emily ~Autumn, Winter~, First-in-Command]

"I am?" Harmony looked down at herself then grinned up at Noil. "Hey! I am! Youuuuu ready?"

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"As ready as I'll ever be," Noil rubbed the back of his neck but held his smile.

[Emily ~Autumn, Winter~, First-in-Command]

"Okie dokie. Sooo I couldn't get the movie player thingy moved so you're gonna have to come to my place," Harmony said.

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

Noil shrugged. "I'm fine with it."

[Emily ~Autumn, Winter~, First-in-Command]

"Alrighty." Harmony smiled and looked at Laurel. "Hope you don't mind me stealing your charge for a day."

Laurel grinned. "I don't mind aaaaat all! You can defend yourself just fine and so can he."

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"And she'll be in good hands," Noil dmeostrated by forming a sphere of fire in his palm while wrapping his arm around Harmony's shoulders.

[Emily ~Autumn, Winter~, First-in-Command]

Laurel nodded. "Yes she will!"

Harmony chuckled. "Okay don't show off too much," she told Noil.

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"I try not to," Noil shrugged. "Let's go to your place then!"

[Emily ~Autumn, Winter~, First-in-Command]

((Off to Riptide?))

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

((Yes please!))

[Emily ~Autumn, Winter~, First-in-Command]

((Yay fun!))

[Emily ~Autumn, Winter~, First-in-Command]

Harmony blinked the blurriness that had clouded her eyes during the leap away and grabbed Noil's hand, twining their fingers and pulling him towards the house.

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"Hey," Noil said softly. "You alright?"

[Emily ~Autumn, Winter~, First-in-Command]

"Yup. I'm good. I think. I need to see Elwin." Harmony chuckled.

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"We should call Pyhsic," Noil said, pushing the door open. "You just rest, alright?"

[Emily ~Autumn, Winter~, First-in-Command]

"Nooooo." Harmony frowned and went to the back door. She opened it and looked around. "LAUREL?" she shouted. A moment later Laurel came storming into view, looking like she could have steam coming out of her ears if it were possible.

"I SAID ONE HOUR!" Laurel hollered.

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"Yes, yes, but we're fine. Aren't we?" Noil asked as he, nonchalantly, pulled up a chair to a table.

[Emily ~Autumn, Winter~, First-in-Command]

"Ummm..." Harmony nodded slowly.

Laurel scoffed. "I said one hour. And then my charge is gone FOR A WHOLE NIGHT!"

"And part of a day," Harmony chimed.

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"I'm sorry," Noil turned his focus to Harmony. "Do you hear something, Harmony? I keep hearing a buzzing noise."

[Emily ~Autumn, Winter~, First-in-Command]

Laurel shot Noil a look. "Don't you start kid. You're in trouble too." She turned her attention back to Harmony. "Where have you been?"

"At my house watching movies," Harmony replied happily.

"And where else?" Laurel probed.

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"Atlantis," Noil said casually, leaning into his chair. "No where else."

[Emily ~Autumn, Winter~, First-in-Command]

Laurel narrowed her eyes. "Somehow I feel you're leaving something out."

"No comment," Harmony decided.

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"Believ what you like," Noil said with a shrug as he scooted off his chair. "I'm heading to bed."

[Emily ~Autumn, Winter~, First-in-Command]

Laurel snorted. "Fine. But don't think you've escaped punishment."

Harmony gave him a Don't leave me here! look.

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

Noil caught Harmony's glance and sighed. "Anyone hungry?"

[Emily ~Autumn, Winter~, First-in-Command]

"Starving! I barely got to eat anything before..." Harmony trailed off, realising her slip.

"Before what?" Laurel pressed.

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"Absolutely nothing," Noil said calmly. "Nothing to concern yourself with."

[Emily ~Autumn, Winter~, First-in-Command]

"It is absolutely something to concern myself with," Laurel said. "Now tell me what happened or I'll have Anek find a telepath to tell it for you."

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"At an approximation, how painful would that be?" Noil asked, leaning on a nearby doorframe .

[Emily ~Autumn, Winter~, First-in-Command]

"Not painful at all if you cooperated," Laurel said flatly.

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

Noil gasped. "And are all goblins as mean and cruel as you are?"

[Emily ~Autumn, Winter~, First-in-Command]

Laurel smirked. "No. Most are meaner."

Harmony wrinkled her nose. "She's right. There's a reason I went to her rather than Anek."

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"I'm sorry," Noil blinked. "But who's Anek?"

[Emily ~Autumn, Winter~, First-in-Command]

"The other goblin here," Harmony explained.
