Isolated Black Swan Base

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"Yes, my dear what were you thinking," Noil said, pretending to sound shock.

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

"I have no idea! I must have been tired!" Harmony said, sounding just as shocked. She grinned. "That's my secret. I'm always tired."

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"Wow. That secret will be shared for generations," Noil said sarcastically.

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

Harmony giggled. "Yes it shall," she agreed as she started mixing the ingredients together. "Hey, be a dear and pass the sugar."

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"Alright, sugar," Noil winked as he passed over the content to her.

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

Harmony grinned. "Oh you're so funny," she teased.

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"And that is why I got the Lamest Joke Award back in the day," Noil said, remember his days in Foxfire.

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

"I betcha I could get that award," Harmony said with a matter of fact nod.

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"You? Never?" Noil laughed.

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

"I tooootally could." Harmony grinned and handed Noil a bowl of yummy smelling light brown goop and a whisk. "Stir that please," she instructed.

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"Stir, right. Shouldn't be too hard," Noil said to himself, grabbing a spoon and then stirring.

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

Harmony replaced the spoon with a whisk. "No no no, whisk it," she clarified.

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"You said to stir!" Noil half yelled. He mumbled, "Fine." And got back to whiskin

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

"Well I meant whisk it." Harmony tossed her hair over her shoulder and started the next batch of goopy goodness.

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"Whisk, stir, same thing," Noil shrugged.
Man, his arms were hurting already.

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

"Nope. Very different," Harmony disagreed.

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"If you say so." Noil whispered, "Bossy pants."

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

Harmony chuckled. "Well you're the one who offered to help."

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"True, but that's because with my help," Noil slung an arm around her shoulders with out tipping his bowl to the ground. "We shall create the world's best dessert!"

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

"Only if you do it right," Harmony chirped, turning her head and kissing him on the cheek.

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"Right. And stirring instead of whisking, right?" Noil winked, allowing his arm to get back to whisking.

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

"Turn that sentence around and you've got it." Harmony chuckled and started stirring her own bowl of carmely stuff.

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

Then Noil got back to whisking his own bowl. He showed it to Harmony. "Done?"

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

Harmony checked it and nodded approvingly. "Very good." She resided bowls. "Now stir." She grinned and started pouring the goop into the cookie sheet.

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"Stir?" Noil groaned as he stirred with his whisk. "You're enjoying this aren't you?"

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

"A little, yes." Harmony giggled and swapped the whisk back with the spoon. "You whisk with a whisk and stir with a spoon, dear."

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

Noil threw up his hands in the air. "You never said that!"

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

"I just did sweetie." Harmony laughed and patted his cheek. "Don't worry. You'll get it eventually."

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"Wow. The encouragement is overwhelming," Noil grumbled.

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

"Frankly, I'm surprised your sister hasn't already taught you this," Harmony said.

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"That's because I didn't volunteer," Noil said matter-of-factly while stirring the bowl. "Besides, I was . . . busy."

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

"Maybe you shoulda." Harmony nudged him and put the cookie sheet in the [stove? oven? other baking device elves have?] and clapped her hands. "Now we wait for the to finish." She checked his bowl and took it from him. "Here. I can finish this."

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"Probably for the best," Noil sighed. "I don't know how you can continue making those things."

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

"It's actually pretty easy once you've done it enough times." Harmony waved him over to a chair. "Sit down you wimpy noodle," she teased.

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"Wimpy noodle," Noil echoed as he sat back on a chair. "The first sign of gratitude she shows is by calling me names."

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

"Aww don't take it the wrong way," Harmony chimed. "It just means I love yah." She winked and turned around and set the bowl she was stirring onto the counter.

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"I know," Noil smiled. "I kid, I kid."

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

Harmony clapped the powder from her hands and went and sat in a chair by Noil. "Sooooo what's up buttercup?"

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"The ceiling," Noil looked up at pointed upward.

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

Harmony snickered. "I suppose that's correct."

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"Yes, it would be," Noil smiled. "That's the humor that will always stay with me."

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

"Classic," Harmony agreed with a grin.

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"Always is, always will be," Noil rubbed his hands together. "Now, how long do we need to wait till the goodies are done?"

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

"About an hour." Harmony chuckled. "Maybe I need to train you in patience next."

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"You probably do," Noil leaned back in his chair. "That's going to take forever."

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

"Well luckily, I've already learned patience so I can wait forever." Harmony grinned.

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"Forever?" Noil nearly whined. "I should have my hair cut if it's going to take that long."

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

"Awww no don't do that!" Harmony pouted. "I like your long hair."

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"I don't know," Noil smiled motioning scissors cutting his hair. "I think it may be time I stop wearing hair like a girl."

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

Harmony made a face. "It's not like a girl. You see my hair?" She showed him a chunk of her almost waist length hair. "This is girl hair. Yours barely goes to you shoulders."
