As the sun's last rays peeked through the window, the room glowed warming the young toon into a sweetened slumber. It had been two days since she left that horrid place and her body was still in need of recovery, soft beeps chimed through the room giving the quiet room a calming atmosphere. Every now and then the doctor would come in to check on the patient, taking in her delicate features as he kept watch over her vitals making sure she wouldn't go into shock.

A gentle breeze from the cracked window filled the room with refreshing oxygen with a hint of sweet cinnamon and hazelnut the staleness of the hospital all but disappeared. A low sigh from the visitor was the only sound in the room aside from her machines, the doctors said that it would take some time before she would wake, a few days...weeks even but he somehow suspected that it wouldn't take that long.

As if on cue a gentle hum and sigh escaped the sleeping angel's lips as she began to stir unaware of the visitor and his guest watching her every move. Slowly her violet eyes opened taking a moment to readjust before scanning the room, and what she saw was unexpected. Instead of the dark dank and ink stained room she was used to at the studio, a bright white room with chestnut wood and light blue accents dotted the space giving it a little contrast in the stale environment. A sweet scent that was light and soothing filled with her with a wave of calmness and contentment as her eyes landed on her visiting guests.

The room was silent for a few moments as Johnathan and Harper made eye contact for the first time. The flaming toon and his lovely wife smiled warmly to the girl as she thought about what to do...she had never met these toons before nor any other toon before apart from her brother of course, so having nothing really to say she just smiled back.

"We're happy to see you're finally awake my dear, you were in pretty rough shape when I found you." Johnathan spoke slowly not wanting to scare the poor girl. Beside him his wife smiled lightly grasping his hand as she ran her thumb over the symbol on his glove, her blue eyes watched cautiously for a moment as she adjusted her seat before lightly pushing her glasses back up the bridge of her nose.

"How are you feeling dear? Can you speak?" Belle asked gently, trying to be as non-threatening as possible which made the little angel's smile grow.

"I'm better now I think, my wings don't hurt as much anymore..." Harper paused, watching as her guests visibly relaxed before asking more questions.

"I hope you don't find me to be rude but...who are you? I don't think we've ever met before." Her voice was light and airy, still a bit soft from her days of screaming in the studio. She wanted to know so much but she was afraid it would scare her guests away.

"Right, how rude of me. My name is Johnathan and this lovely lady beside me is my wife Belle." Johnathan chuckled lightly watching as his beautiful wife stood up and took a couple steps closer to the girl as they made eye contact. She smiled.

"Well it is very nice to meet you both, you two make quite the cute couple." Belle giggled lightly smiling back to her husband as he smiled proudly.

"Thank you miss, but if you don't mind we would like to ask you a few questions. Just to get to know you a little more." Harper nodded as she mentally prepared herself for the onslaught when the doctor that had been monitoring her walked in and gasped lightly.

"Why my dear! You're awake, we were sure that you wouldn't be up for another few days at least." He paused looking down at his charts then back to the toon as he smiled in relief, his pen jotting down notes at a hundred miles an hour.

"How are you feeling my dear? Any pain or soreness?" He asked setting his clipboard aside as he checked her pulse, felt for a fever and looked over her bandages; from what he could tell the ones are her head were fine to come off but her wings still had another day at least. Belle and Johnathan waited patiently for the doctor to finish his visit before resuming their game of twenty questions.
