Riptide

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

Harmony went off around the first floor looking for Hope.

Buuuuuut Hope was in Harmony's room trying to get the tv to play the videos.

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

Noil pushed open the door that led to Harmony's room. Their door had silver swirls like she said.

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

Hope looked over and grinned. "Oh hey Noil! Where's Harmony?" she asked, pounding on the back of the tv and turning back to it with a scowl. "You stupid thing!" She shouted at it, kitting the back and checking the still-glitchy screen. She smiled at Noil. "I'm the fixer of technical difficulties."

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"What's the matter?" Noil asked, rushing to her side.

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

"The screen is broken and won't show the movie," Hope explained. "Wheeerrrreeee's Harmony?"

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"Downstairs," Noil said. "Anything I can do to help?"

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

"Uh... Nope. I'm good." Hope smiled. "Thanks for offering though!"

Harmony walked into the room with a frown. She made a face when she saw Hope. "And here I am downstairs running all around looking for you."

Hope laughed. "Whaddya need?"

"For you to get the snacks up here..." Harmony looked clquestioningly at the tv. "What's up with that?"

"'Tis broken," Hope said matter of factly.

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"Looks like our movie can not be done today," Noil smiled sadly at Harmony.

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

Harmony pouted. "Laaaaame."

Hope wrinkled her nose. "I said it was broken. Not that I couldn't fix it. You two go do... whatever you two do and I'll come get you when I have fixed it."

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"Well then," Noil walked over to Harmony, extending an arm. "Let's go do what we do."

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

Harmony stepped closer and wrapped his arm around her shoulders. "Let's! But I have a question first... what would that be exactly...?"

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"I have no idea," Noil smiled. "But your sister said we should do it."

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

"Coolio. Okay." She looked over at Hope. "We'll leave you to it then." She started walking towards the door which is probably right next to them but imma pretend it's far away for the sake of why not.

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

Noil smiled and led Harmony downstairs. "So, what do you want to do?"

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

"I dunno. What do yoouuu wanna do?" Harmony asked.

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

Noil shrugged. "I really have no idea."

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

"Same." Harmony wrinkled her nose. "What to do what to do..."

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

Noil's eyes lit up. "We can do one thing, though I'm not sure you'd like it."

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

"Suggest away! I'm not picky. I like doing most things." Harmony smiled.

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"Like cutting my hair?" Noil smiled and brought her over to the kitchen.

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

Harmony rolled her eyes and sighed. "Mayyyyyybe. It depends on how short you want it."

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"Maybe about right here," Noil pulled up his shoudler length hair and motioned that he was going to cut it all off.

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

Harmony wrinkled her nose. "Reallyyyyyyyy?"

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"So you wouldn't like it?" Noil asked, staring at his ball of flames.

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

Harmony sighed. "I'm sure I would but I like complaining before the fact so that you're able to say I told you so afterwards."

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"Oh I will," Noil smiled, extinguishing the flames. "Now, where can I find a good pair of scissors?"

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

Harmony smiled. "Follow meee." She started up the stairs again.

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

Noil did as he was told and followed her up the stairs.
"Sooooo . . . I 'he never done this before so I was wondering if you could give me some pointers."

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

Harmony laughed. "Oh dear. I will be cutting your hair for you because otherwise it'll look all choppy and odd and you won't get the right lengths."

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"Alright fine," Noil sighed. "If I'm going to cut my hair, might as well do it properly."

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

"Exactly," Harmony agreed. She lead him into Hope's bathroom and pulled a stool out from under the counter. "Sit," she directed him, starting to go through the drawers and grabbing the things she needed. Which were basically just scissors, a comb, and a spray water bottle.

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

Noil did exactly what Harmony said.
"It won't hurt, will it?"

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

"Physically, no, emotionally, only if you're really attached, which I'm assuming you aren't." Harmony grinned and got his hair wet.

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"Nah," Noil said. "It's time anyway."

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

Harmony chuckled and started snipping at his hair. "Yes yes."

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"You're not cutting it further up are you?" Noil asked, feeling the swish movement of hair by his feet.

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

"What do you mean?" Harmony asked.

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"I mean you aren't cutting past here," Noil gestured to the middle of his head. "Are you?"

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

"Oh of course not!" Harmony shook her head and smiled. "Don't worry."

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"Good," Noil smiled. "Cause I would like enough hair to comb it back but not too much where it's still long."

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

"Yes yes yes." Harmony nodded. "Now shush and stop distracting me, otherwise your gonna have parts that stick out an inch longer than the rest of your hair."

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

Noil scowled. "Yes ma'am. Don't want to get in trouble with the cutter."

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

"That's right," Harmony agreed, snipping the scissors in the air ominously. She grinned teasingly and started snipping his hair again.

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"Thank you Harmony," Noil said, smiling.

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

"Nah don't mention it." Harmony shrugged slightly. "Hey, you don't mind if I donate your hair clippings to humans to make wigs for cancer patients, do you? I do it every time Hope or I get a haircut." She shook her head sadly. "Poor creatures suffer so much."

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"Nah, you can take it," Noil said. "Wonder how they're doing. Humans, I mean."

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

"Well they haven't completely wiped themselves out so I assume they're doing fairly well." Harmony set the scissors down and ruffled his damp hair. She examined his hair for a moment and nodded in satisfaction. "How's that?"

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

Noil looked in the mirror. "Hm. It's still a bit long. Can you possibly cut it a wee bit shorter."

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

Harmony rolled her eyes and cut off another half an inch. "Aaaaand how about that?"

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ, Second-in-Command]

"Perfect," Noil said smiling. He looked up at Harmony. "You're amazing."
