Azura was still in a strop from her little run-in with Leo, frowning as she sat there with her arms folded. She may be a feisty little one, but her stubbornness and the ability to hold grudges topped even Scarlett’s. She was staring at the floor, her chest heaving and her nostrils still flared.
Ahren, Sienna, and Tatum, were playing with Raihana, who was keeping them occupied with magical bubbles. Bubbles that were floating around endlessly. “How long until they get there?” Raven asked me quietly. “A few hours more, it’s only been about one hour.” I replied, glancing out at the sky.

Do you need like a hair of his or something?” 1. “No, not at all, it’ll work anyway.” Azura replied. Shoving wool into the body, the half detached head lolling. I wasn’t sure it was going to stay attached at the brute rough way she was handling it. “Besides, I found his cigarette that he dropped earlier.

We needed to be extremely careful. After doing a quick round, I’ll go take a look at her too. I needed to make sure everything was in order around here. Anything could happen, and we needed to stay on guard.
