Noxsilian: *in Ethari's room* Ethari?

Ethari: *grunt* 

Noxsilian: Do you want to see if Theodore and Riley want to come over today?

Ethari: *grunt*

Noxsilian: *grins evilly* I know you like Riley. 

Ethari: Whatever. Shuddup, Noxy. That just shows what you know. 

Noxsilian: Pleeeease?

Ethari: Just invite them you're self. You're 10 now. 

Noxsilian: Yeah, but I don't wanna. 

Ethari: *sits up* Go ask Milo. 

Noxsilian: *rolls eyes* I have no idea where she is. Probably off somewhere practicing with the new blade mom got her. Soooo?

Ethari:  . . . . fine. *gets up* Why do I always let you and Milo boss me around?

Noxsilian: Because you're kinda a pushover-

Ethari: *rolls eyes* Gee, thanks. Listen, I'll go over with you but I'm coming back soon. I want to finish my switch. 

Noxsilian: How do you understand mechanics? It's so confusing. 

Ethari: *pulls on boots and jeans* You wouldn't understand it. *follows Noxsilian out of his room* Um, Noxy? Why are we going to the kitchens? 

Noxsilian: Because I'm hungry. *snatches ENTIRE THING of jelly tarts from table*

Cook: Oi! Jelly tart theif get back here!

Noxsilian: Run. 

(They run down a stone passage, amazingly, no Jelly Tarts fall off the plate. Noxy skids to a stop)

Ethari: *panting a little* Noxsilian, you know that if you ask, maybe they'd just give you some. 

Noxsilian: *munching on jelly tart* Yeaaah, but that's not very fun. Jelly tart?

Ethari:  . . . Sure. *takes it* 

(MEANWHILE  . . .) 

Rayla: *yawns* Callum?

Callum: Mm-hm? 

Rayla: How do you feel about a morning walk?

Callum: That sounds delightful. 

Rayla: So that's a yes then?

Callum: *laughs* Yes. *gets up and starts getting ready* 

Rayla: *does the same* 

(BACK WITH ETHARI AND NOXSILIAN . . . )

Ethari: *knocks on door of little house in a village* 

(Red-haired boy opens it)

Ethari: Theo!

Theodore: Hey Ethari! Hey Noxy! Come in. Where's Milo?

Noxsilian: Oh you know. I think she's practicing with her blades. 

Theodore: *laughs* Yeah, those blades were pretty epic. I remember. Riley is upstairs. RILEY!! COME DOWN! Hey dad? Can Ethari and Noxsilian be here?

Mr. Andrews: Yeah, sure. But only for a couple of hours. We're going out today.

Theodore: Okay dad. RILEY! *walks up stairs* What are you doing?

Riley: *from inside room* Nunna yur beezwax! I'll be out in a minute. 

Theodore: Ethari and Noxsilian are here!

Riley: I SAID I'll be out in a minute. 

Theodore: Riley! *pounds on door. Starts ramming against it with body.* RILEY!
