Isolated Black Swan Base

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"Legs tired?" Noil asked as he sat beside her.

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

"Mhm." Harmony pouted a little.

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"Hey, I'm sure they will be alright," Noil grinned.

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

"I'm sure they will but again with the heels." Harmony shook her head. "I don't know why I still bother."

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"Why do you girls where something so uncomfortable?" Noil asked.
It never really made sense to Noil why girls actually wore heels. They just looked so painful to walk in.

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

"Gooooood question. I think we as a whole decided fashion before function. But I guess if you're trained in heels then you get to kick butt and look fabulous doing it." Harmony chuckled.

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"Girls are weird. Make yourself look amazing while you hurt yourself in the process," Noil sighed.

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

"It's just the specific style of high heels that Laurel chose for me. I've had to make a mental note to never let that girly girl go shopping with me," Harmony said with a grin.

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"Do you only wear heels for show?" Noil asked.

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

"Sadly, yes. They serve no purpose other than making me taller, look more "girly", and causing me pain. I guess it hurts worse when I kick, but I'm rarely allowed to do that because I'm usually forced into a dress against my will."

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"Sounds like we need to make an escape plan," Noil poked Harmony.

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

Harmony chuckled. "Nah. Maybe just start like a rebellion within the rebellion. I'm sure a few of the other girls will jump right on board with the function before fashion idea."

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"Looks we have some planning to do," Noil teased.

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

Harmony nodded and grinned. "Yes! But we'll have to make sure they're still options because one, getting a stick heel to the face would work better at knocking them out than a melder, and two, Della and Biana, two of our more frilly members, would get mad at me if they got banned. They're scary when they're fashion deprived."

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"Woah wait," Noil held up his hands. "Are these two new members of the Black Swan?"

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

"Not new, no. They've been with us for a few months at least." Harmony shrugged. "Why?'

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"Just wondering. I guess it's kind of weird to think that you guys are still hiring people," Noil said.

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

"Well we've had to, whether we want to admit it or not."

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"Do you think you might be able to recruit one more?" Noil asked.

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

"Definitely. The Neverseen is getting more active, so so are we." Harmony nodded.

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"Do you think the Black Swan could recruit me?" Noil asked.

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

Harmony pondered that for a moment and nodded slowly. "Yeah. Yeah I think we could." She smiled.

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"Even with me being part of the Neverseen not too long ago?" Noil smiled.

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

"Of course. We've had members in the Neverseen before. We don't dwell on the past." Harmony looked around the cave.

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"Good. I hope that's the way your leaders see it," Noil sighed.

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

"They will. I think..." Harmony sighed. "I should have taken that nap yesterday," she muttered to herself after she yawned.

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"We can head back now," Noil said, helping Harmony to her feet.

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

Harmony leaned against him and smiled softly. "Thanks," she whispered.

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

Noil wrapped a comfortable arm around her. "You're welcome. I got to make sure you're okay."

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

"And why's that hm?" Harmony asked, trying to keep her eyes open.

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"Because I like you and I don't want you to get hurt," Noil smiled.

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

"Aww. Well, feeling's mutual." Harmony looked up at him and smiled warmly.

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"Hopefully this feeling will last a while," Noil cleared his throat. "Do you want me to take you home?"

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

"For me it will." Harmony nodded. "Would you? I seriously feel like I'm about to pass out." She shook her head to clear it so they could pass through the water.

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"You do?" Noil swept her off her feet and cradled Harmony in his arms. "We should get back to the house then!"

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

Harmony squealed then laughed and rested her head on Noil's shoulder. "You are the best," she stated.

((Agh! I just realized I've gotta make her house now XD))

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"And that's why you like me," Noil smiled at her. "Does this place have a Leapmaster?"

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

((Go go go! :D))

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

((Done!))

Harmony shook her head and held up her home crystal. "Only pathfinders and home crystals. Speaking of... We need to get you a pathfinder out of here." She nodded. "We don't want you to feel trapped here."

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"I have mine," Noil dug into his pockets and pulled them out.

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

((Shaaaallllll we switch threads?))

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

((Sure! :D))

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

((Alrighty! I can post first))

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

((Yes!))

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

Noil sighed. "Home sweet home."

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

Harmony chuckled. "I'm so glad you like it."

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"I do!" Noil hugged her and rested his chin on the top of her head. "I could never thank you enough for what you've done for me."

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

Harmony hugged him back. "Nah, don't mention it."

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"I probabaly will," Noil smiled. "Every time you visit."

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

"And I'll insist that you don't," Harmony said, laughing lightly.
