OOC:
IC: (Just let me know if Atra is looking for anything specific ^^")
Elizabeth gently set the bag down on the table where Imani was done cleaning.
"Here you both go, whenever you're ready. I wasn't sure how many you need, so I still have a few more if need be."
OOC: she's just reviewing ^.^
IC: "Oh, Elizabeth," Imani started in surprise, whens she turned and saw, "we don't have to use your own shot! That's why I was going to ask Polaris..."
Atra glanced up at Imani's tone.
OOC: Making sure, I'll have to give you a complete run down of what's in the notes just in case at some point XP
IC: "Imani," Elizabeth easily started, raising a hand. "I don't care, and even then, it's for Marco. I can give up a few shots for him."
OOC: didn't you already do that? ouo
IC: Imani just grimaced fretfully. "If you're sure..."
Atra grinned at the interaction. Setting the pages aside, she reached over to pull out two shot. "This should be plenty anyway. And I will do the honors, Imani.~"
Imani just seemed to fret even more at that, but eventually she rolled her eyes with a sigh and went back to what she'd been doing. Transmutation was more Atra's strong suit anyway.
OOC: There's one or two more things, I just gave you the stuff that was immediately looked for XP
IC: Elizabeth took the bag back when Atra got what she needed, tying it back up and shoving it in a pocket. From there, she and Levi (who had perched nearby) would watch the magician curiously. Elizabeth did note to calm Imani later.
OOC: ah, I see ^^'
IC: Atra stuffed the shot in a dress pocket and flipped through the papers again while Imani finished up. She figured it best to wait until they actually talked to Marco.
A few minutes later, Imani gathered up the breakfast she made for the three and gathered her things to head over.
OOC:
IC: Elizabeth simply waited in the kitchen by that point until everyone was ready to go. At that point, she sent Levi ahead to let Marco know they were on their way.
OOC:
IC: Once everyone was ready, Imani led the way out the door and secured the cottage, then gestured for Elizabeth to lead the way.
OOC:
IC: Elizabeth took the lead with ease, even picking up the pace slightly to make it to the house sooner.
When the group would get to the gate, Marco would be waiting for them, and Joel could be heard in the distance, supposedly as Shilow seemed to be running about the gated yard.
"Greetings, everyone." The boy politely nodded, though their tone and their eyes suggested his tiredness. He only smiled when Elizabeth came up to hug him, and he returned in kind.
OOC: aww Shilow XP
IC: "So sorry for last night, Marco!" Imani started after the siblings greeted each other. "I didn't know you had a sort of sense for these things..."
"Luckily we can fix that," Atra purred with a slight grin.
OOC: Shilow is having fun, or at least as much fun as she can manage in the current state she's in XP
IC: "I wasn't particularly aware it was that strong either, but the child...well..." Marco shrugged in response, trying to shrug it off like normal. Then his interest was perked by Atra's comment. "And how so now?"
OOC: good, she deserves it XP
IC: "We may be able to make you something for that, if you like," Atra explained, and gestured inside the property, "Let's get settled how we will before we go into it, no?"
OOC: she does, though she can't fully enjoy it yet since she's on a borrowed soul and not her own XP
IC: Marco watched Atra for a moment before slowly nodding and gesturing the gaggle of ladies in. Then he lead the way, waving at Joel and Shilow in the distance of the yard. Joel waved back to acknowledge that they were heading inside.
Inside, Marco lead them to a table set up in the entrance room, next to a window that could see the section of yard Shilow was traversing almost like she was hunting.
OOC: that is depressing to read XP
IC: Imani smiled to herself at the sight of Shilow in the yard. "How has she been?" she asked Marco as she set down her bundle. "Oh, these are for you lot, by the way. Thought I'd make you breakfast~."
Atra took a seat, but only for the moment as she shuffled through her satchel.
OOC: It'll get more depressing later XP
IC: "Oh, thank you," Marco took graciously, flushing at Imani's thoughtfulness for him. "She's been...investigating. I assume she's excited, but she's genuinely hard to tell..."
"She's like that, I'm pretty sure you're right though. She's at least looking for something." Elizabeth tried to reassure as she sat next to her brother.
"Though she was...off this morning...she seemed aware I was uncomfortable, which I feel bad for..."
OOC: oh boy XP ;.;
IC: Imani smiled at his flush, but then frowned at his observation of Shilow. "Yes, she seems to...have a sense for that as well. She apparently comes from a...'less than ideal' orphanage..."
OOC:
IC: "Elizabeth filled me in this morning on her and Joel, and Joel confirmed it. Poor child," Marco lamented as he watched the child out the window. He froze when her gaze immediately shot towards the window and stared at him before waving and moving off. Marco released a sigh and turned his gaze away.
"Makes me want to go over and deal with some troublemakers myself..." Elizabeth muttered darkly as she set her stuff off on a hall shelf made for storing.
OOC: jump scare Shilow XD
IC: "Please don't, we don't need an inquisition over here," Imani said in a deadpan without thinking. To try to distract everyone, she started to unpack the breakfasts from their bundle and set Marco's out.
OOC: That is the one thing I can't wait to use with even Hearts Shilow, she Knows (tm)
IC: "I've gotten away with murder before." Elizabeth retorted, though the tone was a lot more joking this time.
Marco sheepishly thanked Imani again before tentatively starting on his food.
"As a pirate, Elizabeth." Levi idly commented as he flew to her shoulder from unseen corner.
OOC: she sure scared the light out of me, and even in text form XDD
(geez that whole post is spooky XD)
(and I see Levi is taking to appearing out of nowhere well XP)
IC: "I'm going to pretend I don't know that," Imani deadpanned in a chuckle, setting the rest of her bundle aside. Atra glanced up for just a moment to look Elizabeth over.
