Isolated Black Swan Base

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

((*pauses as I remember that Harmony actually goes to Exillium*))

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

((Uh oh. Maybe they have skill tests? Like testing for night vision and underwater breathing?))

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

((Umm yeah works for me. ^.^'))

"You're a life saver," Harmony said with a relieved sigh. "But I'm just warning you, most of the skills on my tests are hands on kind of activities."

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"Psh. Should be a piece of cake." Noil waved her off.

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

"How good are you with night vision?" Harmony asked.

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"It's been a while because I always use fire to light everything up. Why?" Noil asked.

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

"Cause I suck at it..." Harmony frowned.

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"Language please." Noil wagged his finger at her. "I think I can help you though."

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

"It's the only word that fits," Harmony mumbled. "Thanks."

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"Should we head back to the cave then?" Noil asked.

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

"Nah. The mountain over here is just as dark." Harmony smiled. "Plus when the sun sets we can go to the top and watch. It's a very pretty view."

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"I'll take your word on that." Noil smiled at her and headed in a direction. "Um, how do we get there?"

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

Harmony laughed lightly and grabbed his hand, then pulled him the right way. "This way."

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"Okay, so maybe you should show me the rest of the tour." Noil laughed.

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

"Luckily this is part of the tour." Harmony smiled.

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"Good because I would hate to be lost in my new home." Noil said.

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

"Oh it's not that big. The mountain is really more of a hill." Harmony chuckled and brushed a loose strand of her auburn hair behind her ear.

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"Why didn't you say so!" Noil dragged her instead and ran.

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

Harmony laughed and ran too. "What's with the sudden eagerness?"

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"I want to catch the view you were talking about and also helping you in your night vision skill." Noil laughed.

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

Harmony grinned and ran faster so she was leading him again.

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"Any faster and you might pop my arm off it's socket missy." Noil laughed.

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

"Well hurry up then!" Harmony laughed lightly and turned left around a bunch of gnarly trees.

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

Noil followed and ran beside Harmony. "Where's the entrance?"

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

Harmony slowed to a stop in front of a fairly small cave in a big hill. "Right there!"

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

Noil smiled and looked at her. "Race you to it!" And he sprinted off towards the cave.

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

"Watch out for the verminion!" Harmony called, strolling along instead of running. "She doesn't like unannounced company."

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"Blast it." Noil mumbled as he slowed his pace, waiting for Harmony to catch up.

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

Harmony laughed and caught up. She pulled his arm around her shoulders to slyly keep him from running again once she said, "Just kidding! We moved her out awhile ago." She smiled sweetly.

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"Man! I'm seriously going to have to keep an eye on you." Noil said as he tried to catch up to Harmony.

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

Harmony snickered. "Whaaaaaat?" She asked innocently. "I'm wearing heels! What else was I supposed to do?" She grinned.

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"Throw them at me, maybe?" Noil suggested.

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

"Then I'd have to run barefoot and explain to Laurel why the heels she worked so valiantly to obtain for me are missing." Harmony laughed lightly.

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"I'm sure we could come up with a good excuse." Noil winked and smiled at her.

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

"Oh well in that case." Harmony laughed and took her heels off. "Splinters it is!" She grinned.

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"You never cease to amaze me." Noil said. "Now should we race to the entrance? And absolutely no fooling the other!"

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

"You're on!" Harmony took off run as fast as she could. Which was pretty fast.

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"That must come in handy when you're on the run!" Noil called out as he chased her.

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

"It does help," Harmony replied. "Usually I just use my charm though and I'm let free." She laughed.

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

Noil was so close to Harmony. He was right behind her when he decided to tackled her to the ground.

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

Harmony yelped and made herself roll, which ended up with her and Noil rolling right into a tree. She looked up at Noil and had a hard time deciding whether she should laugh or blush and curl into a tiny ball.

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

Noil shook his head as he stared down and saw Harmony's face, sort of resting on his chest.
"Sorry about that." Noil smiled.

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

((Ooooooh. Should they . . . declare they're feelings?!?!? Now I'm worse than those Hallmark films. :D))

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

"Um." Blushing it was. "It's alright... I mean, not that I like enjoyed being tackled... or anything. But I'm not mad at you." She cringed at herself and scrambled away from him. "Sorry," she mumbled.

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

((I did not see that eep! What's a Hallmark film?))

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"Please don't blame yourself. I tackled you because I thought it would be fun. If anything I should be sorry." Noil pulled her in for a hug.

((A Hallmark film is like those cheesy movies where a boy or girl see each other at first sight, then they immediately fall for each other.))

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

((Ooohhhhhh! That would be adorable so I vote yes if you do! XD))

Harmony chuckled softly. "Well... it's alright..."

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

Noil stared down at her with a warm gaze. "You truly are amazing."

((*gasps* Oooooh mama! Does Harmony have a crush on Noil? Cause the last thing he wants to do is make her feel uncomfortable!!!!))

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

((Aaawwwwww yeah she does so yay!))

Harmony's face flushed and she covered it with her hair. "You keep saying that. I've never blushed so much in my life."

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

Noil laughed as he brushed away her stray hair. "Because it's true."
Should he say it? He had he wanting to ever since he met her.
