|| Sleepsong || Secret Garden ||
It wasn't the first time, nor would it be the last, that the adults would stop their attempts of being more independent and useful. Even so, Felix didn't seem to like her plan anyways. It irked her, as she tried to rouse herself for the morning. They were stuck here in Athanax for now, the keys were gone, and what would they do? "Really." Xi'an cocked her hip and placed a hand there as she glowered out the window. "Well, not like we'll be useful sitting around like lazy monkeys." And what was wrong with her plan anyways? Who would expect four teenagers to barge right up at the mafia's doorstep? Honestly, it was a plan so bold, so crazy, that it would definitely have to work. How could anyone else not see that?
It was still really early in the morning. An amazing idea popped into her head and the little swan bore a fearless smile. Of course, who needed permission? She had wings, she could fly out on her own and meet Madam Magpie all by herself. No one else was as brave as her. No one else was tough like her. Filled with a new vigor, Xi'an creaked the window open and crawled up by the sill, ready to fly back into the city to hunt down her mark. Suddenly she felt a soft hand on her ankle. Firm, but soft all the same. "I may not be always in good state of mind, but I know how to be a mother." There she was, the broken hearted swan who spent years mourning a broken relationship and a man who cast her aside like she was garbage. "Let go of me. I can solve al of our problems!" She could fly out and make all of this better, why did no one believe in her? But as she tried to wrestle free, her mother managed to pull her back in and latch the window shut yet again, the cool breeze no longer rushing through the gap.
Xi'an was still pouting glumly as she met up with the others for the morning meeting as the adults locked themselves in a room to discuss their plan. Fox was the exception of course, lounging with the children in the dining room of the airship to make sure they did not go out and do something the adults didn't like. The little swan's hands still stung from her mother's slaps. Luckily she wore gloves to hide the red, but it was still embarrassing. The usually hectic morning breakfasts was a lot quieter now with so many having their special secret meeting. "What are you pouting about, beautiful lady?" Felix snickered, shooting an eye at Xi'an as he speared a sausage with his fork. "The fact you're still eyeing me even now, perhaps!" Xi'an shot back, their usual energy still intact as usual.
Levi was there too, but he seemed strange. After kissing her hand and no doubt having a similar greeting with Key, Levi was eating and observing them as they interacted. "Don't worry. We'll show the adults that they can count on us too." Felix said with a cheerful grin, tail wagging. He seemed so sure of himself, it made Xi'an's own hidden wolf tail sway. "Fox is here listening, you know." She rolled her eyes. "He won't let us do anything today either." She casually leaned over and stole a carrot from Key's plate, patting her on the head as she chewed it, as she ran out of carrots herself.
