Nobody POV

"We should ask Em," Pisces said, pacing in front of the Eli dartboard that had been hung up a few days ago. She paused to look at it, grabbed a dart from the desk, and stabbed it in his nose before resuming her pacing.

"But how? 'Hey, we have no idea how to claim the Realm so we're hoping you would'?" Scorpio grumbled, lounging on the couch.

"She would yell at us if she found out we didn't know," Libra pointed out, sitting on the desk. She knocked her feet against the desk legs unconsciously as she looked around.

"But we have no idea!" Aries said, upside down on the couch beside Scorpio. He picked up a pencil and held it over her eye, and she narrowed hers. "Don't you fucking dare, mister."

"Relax," he smirked, raising the pencil. He pointed it horizontal and threw it point-first at the Eli dartboard. 

It didn't reach.

"Sucker," Aries snorted, getting up.

"We should actually do something," Leo said, looking out one of the windows. "We have to."

"Of course we do." Aries snatched a dart and threw it at Eli's face. It hit him in the eye. "But . . . how?"

"You're the one closest to Em," Sagittarius said. "Don't you guys do those training sessions together?"

Aries nodded. "But it's usually her yelling at me to do better and me doing better." She flexed her wrist. "I don't . . . talk."

Aquarius snapped her head up from where she was doodling on the wall. "Hold up -- did you just say Em can make you go quiet?"

"I'm not quiet. I'm never quiet," Aries scoffed, but everybody could see the blush slowly spreading over her face.

Aquarius grinned. "I thought only Capricorn could do that."

Aries looked away. "No one can make me quiet."

"You said that quietly," Libra giggled.

Aries cleared her throat. "YOU ALL ARE DUMB ASSHOLES THAT CAN'T UNDERSTAND I CAN'T BE QUIET --"

"Say quiet again, I dare you," Scorpio challenged. 

Everybody except Aries glared at him. He froze.

Aries grinned. "Quiet. Quiet quiet quiet QUIET quiet quiet quiet quiet. Quiet quiet quiet quiet  quiet quiet quiet quiet quiet quiet --"

"That's it, someone put her in time out," Aquarius called.

Aries blinked. "Oh no." She got up and backed away from Leo, who was grinning.

"But where?" he asked Aquarius.

She smirked. "There's a closet."

"NO --" Leo surged forward and grabbed Aries's wrists. She started thrashing and yelling. "GET OFF OF ME! I DON'T DESERVE --"
