Eda noisily yawns, shaking off some of her morning drowsiness. She scratches her lower back while contently sipping some Apple Blood from her '30 & Flirty' mug. Eda silently relishes in quiet peace from the kitchen and admires the glorious morning view out the window. She'd dropped off Luz to school before coming back home to sleep. Speaking of sleep, King is still fast asleep and as for Hooty... well he was doing whatever he was doing. Eda continues to blankly stare out the window - thoughts aimlessly wandering in her mind.

The witch suddenly chokes on her drink and instantly goes into a coughing fit. Eda had just spotted some random stranger in a cloak abruptly jumping out the bushes near the house, catching her completely off guard. This intruder scurried off to the shed of the house, with a little animal following them closely.

Eda unceremoniously puts her mug down on the counter before rushing over to the kitchen door and slamming it open, chasing after the young intruder.

"Alright. Whoever you are, show yourselves," Eda demands when marching up to the shed of the house - having followed the intruder this far to this place.

Clamorous noises of wood being broken and bangs, followed by clangs and clatters of objects being shuffled or falling is sounded from the shed. "You're not really good at being a thief if you really plan on robbing me, y'know." Eda remarks when cautiously making her way to the shed; the wooden door lying on the ground smashed in half.

"This place could use a bit of spring cleaning." Eda murmured to herself when looking at the dusty and dimly lit room - piles and heaps of random items, objects and garbage messily dispersed all over the room.

The witch takes a moment to carefully scope the interior of the shed - it was quiet with little to no movement. "I know you're hiding in here somewhere. You've backed yourself in a corner now, so you've got nowhere left to run once I've caught you." Eda confidentially claims, she's still the most powerful witch in all of the Boiling Isles after all; even without magic.

There's a clunk heard from the far right of the room, and Eda promptly transforms into her Harpy form. The objects in the corner lightly tremble - Eda bracing herself for the intruder to reveal themselves. Not long after, few of the objects go flying when Malphas leaps out from hiding under the little pile of junk, vigorously wagging his tail joyously when looking over at Eda.

"Wha?" Eda tilts her head in confusion with a raised brow, and Malphas instantly mimics her movements.

"HAAARRGH!!" A voice roars from behind Eda. The woman turns around and is quickly taken by surprise when [N] comes dropping down from the ceiling of the shed. Just as Eda transformed into her Harpy form, [N] ends up landing on her and sending both of them tumbling down to the ground.

Eda is alarmed when [N] held her in a sudden rear naked chokehold, and Malphas digs his teeth into the ends of her hair and pulls at it. The Harpy opens her mouth to try say something, but to no avail - thanks to the [h/c] haired boy's chokehold on her.

Eda spreads out her wings to launch herself in the air and clumsily swoops out of the shed door, [N] still clinging to the woman while Malphas dangled in the air by the Harpy's hair.

As Eda was close to getting the intruder and his pet off of her, Hooty suddenly shows up, getting in the way of Eda and causing her to ram into the house demon's extensive 'neck'. The Harpy is sent falling to the ground once again - [N] and Malphas also crash landing to the floor few feet away from the elder woman.

"One point for Hooty, none for Harpy Eda and the intruders, hoot hoot!" Hooty rejoiced as Eda and [N] groan in pain. [N] promptly gets up on his feet and flees into the Owl House with Malphas not far behind him.
"After them!" Eda orders Hooty before going after [N] herself.

"Hoot! You got it!"
