Isolated Black Swan Base

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

"No offence to Freea but I'm glad I got you first," Harmony said softly.

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"Me too," Noil sighed. "I've always thought of her as a sister and nothing more too. I hope she sees that one day."

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

Harmony smiled at him. "That's good." She looked ahead and made a right.

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"It sure is," Noil said. "Now, where are we going?"

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

"We're taking the scenic route to the cave," Harmony explained.

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"I'm trusting you on this," Noil said, igniting the fire ball even more.

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

"Good." Harmony smiled. "You can put away the fire for a moment. You can't see the glow if there's light."

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"If you say so," Noil said, extinguishing the flame.

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

As soon as the light disappeared, pale blue-green lights appeared all around on the ceiling and walls. "Oh. They've spread," Harmony observed.

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"I may have to come here more often cause this place is amazing!" Noil said.

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

"I agree!" Harmony nodded and grinned.

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"So if a fireball is in my hand, I won't be able to see this?" Noil asked.

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

"Hmm-mm." Harmony shook her head. "And the creatures will hides and the flowers will blend so you won't even be able to see where the glow was coming from."

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"They're creatures?" Noil half yelled as he scanned the walls. "You sure have a way of surprising people."

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

Harmony giggled. "Well yes. They look like little frogs and lizards."

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"Oh, goodness," Noil laughed. "What's next? Glowing imps?"

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

"Not that I know of." Harmony laughed lightly and watched as the blue-green shifted to purple. "Purple is my favourite color," she said.

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"Mine's blue. So I guess it's kind of like purple," Noil said, smiling.

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

Harmony smiled. "Practically the same thing," she agreed jokingly.

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"Most definitely," Noil smiled. "If only our mentors could see us now."

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

Harmony grinned smugly. "Mine can. I'm self taught," she said proudly. "In my ability anyway."

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"At least you could teach yourself," Noil sighed as he ran a hand through his hair. "My mentor kicked me out as soon as I lit the room on fire and this was when I had joined the Neverseen."

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

"Youch." Harmony made a face. She turned left and they walked into a dark cave. "Here we are. Are you sure you still wanna try to learn?"

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"But of course! Might as well do something useful while I'm here," Noil said walking first into the cave.

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

Harmony smiled. "Alright. Just a warning, they might react differently to your vocal tones because they're much deeper than mine and Fawna's."

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"Right," Noil made his voice more deep. "Cause I'm a man."

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

Harmony giggled. "Exactly!" She agreed. "Alright. Follow me note for note." She hummed a few notes for him to copy.

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"Okay," Noil tried copying Harmony's notes but he always messed up. What on earth was he doing wrong?

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

"Do it in your own range," Harmony advised. "Don't try to hit so high. Try to harmonise(*snicker*)."

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"Fine," Noil grumbled, trying few more times before he barley had the note he wanted. "How as that?"

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

((*snickers back at you* :D))

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

"You're trying to hard dear." Harmony smiled warmly. "Just let it flow out. It sounds ridiculous but that's the best way I can describe it."

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"Well when you put it that way," Noil said in a mocking tone. But sure enough when he tried, he actually sounded decently alright.

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

Harmony smirked smugly. "Look at that." She hummed the notes again for him to copy.

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

Noil tried copying the notes again but his hum wouldn't cooperate.
"I think you've stumped me on this one."

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

"Hmm." Harmony thought for a moment. She cocked her head at him, then gave him a quick kiss. "Well I think you're doing great so far so don't give up."

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"I'll try not to," Noil said sadly. He hummed for a bit, matching the same notes as Harmony's, and the walls slowly lit up.

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

Harmony clapped. "Wonderful job!" She beamed.

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"So that was alright?" Noil asked, staring at the lights.

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

"Well it worked didn't it?" Harmony looked around, her eyes sparkling. She hummed lightly with the echos of Noil's voice. "You're a fast learner. Want to do the next bit too?"

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"Only if you're going to be patient with me," Noil smiled and he stared at the glowing lights.

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

"Of course I will," Harmony said with a nod.

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"Good. Then let's get started," Noil rubbed his hands together in anticipation.

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

"This bit is whistling and will light up the green." Harmony whistled a few notes for him to follow.

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

Noil took a deep breath, and licked his lips.
He copied Harmony's notes perfectly.
"Huh. I wonder why that went better."

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

"Because you are amazing and you just needed to warm up." Harmony nodded and beamed.

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

Noil laughed. "Thanks, though I think it'll take me a while before I sound as good as you."

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

"Aww. You are so sweet." Harmony smiled. "But probably." She tossed her hair over her shoulder.

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"I try to be," Noil smiled.
It was true though. As hard as he could possibly try, he may never sound as good as Harmony.

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

Harmony sat down. "Okay I can't stand anymore."
