    “No,” Tena said without opening her eyes.

    “Yeah, I can see why,” Tena quipped dryly. “You look like a vampire, dear.” Lenare made a face at his shirt, which was a Calvin & Hobbes/Firefly crossover. His pants were the usual; loose khakis. Tena thought he looked fine, if slightly like a teenager going to a concert, but Lenare would no doubt think he was being disrespectful. Tena straightened her cuff, then her bow tie (she loved bow ties). She kissed Ani on the cheek and smiled at him, feeling a now-familiar sense of love for him. His eyes... his eyes were so beautiful, and his face was lovely, and she loved him for all of those reasons, and more. She closed her eyes as she rested her head on his arm, that feeling of calm in her chest expanding. @Ark1002 @Sorana @I think I am here.

    “Yeah,” Tena said. “I have magic too.” She quietly Awakened Ani’s shirt, making it tug away from him, then recalled the Breath. “There’s a lot of different types. What I just did is called Awakening. You got wrapped up in my mistcloak, which was also Awakened. The cards we used to teleport around are powered by Elantrian magic, which is powered by the Dor, something only found on Sel and this planet, the Alleyplanet.” She answered his earlier questions. “I left to get you some clothes... oh, right! I have clothes your size at my house. You should probably go change into them. I’ll go with you.” She exchanged a look with Lenare, telling him to stay here. She stood up and pulled Ani to his feet, then tapped a Tia card and teleported Ani and her to her house. Several minutes later, they walked back into the wedding hall and sat back down in their seats. Tena was now wearing a pantsuit. “I hate dresses with a fiery passion,” she muttered to Ani. @Ark1002

    Lenare shook Anthony’s hand, glancing at Tena. She looked so... at peace. Finally. He hated when she worked herself like she did every day, but she didn’t look at all inclined to do that anymore. She just looked happy, and that warmed his heart. She never wanted help from Lenare, always had to do everything herself. And she’d definitely gotten over Mace. That’s good, Cici thought to Lenare. And I like him. Anthony, I mean. That’s hard to believe. Shut it. “I don’t know if she likes me,” Lenare said to Anthony. Tena gave him a I’ve only forgiven you a thousand times look, and Lenare winced. He still couldn’t forgive himself for putting her in that military camp. He’d thought it would get her mind off her miscarriage, but apparently nothing but the Nightwatcher could help her with that. And he still didn’t know how Tena had gotten pregnant at such a young age. The second time had almost been worse, since Tena had been so angry. Lenare had helped her boyfriend deliver that baby, and still had barely agreed to the boyfriend’s plan. He despised himself for that, but knew it was the only option. Tena would have been an awful mother at that age. @Ark1002

    Tena sat down next to Ani, leaning against his shoulder. Lenare sat down on her other side, grinning like an idiot. I wonder what he’s thinking about. Maybe he’s happy that I’m happy or something like that. He cares about my well-being way too much. “Remember, I told you about my grandfather? This is him.” Lenare smiled at Ani. “My name is Lenare.” @Ark1002

    Tena walked in the door of the place with Ani in tow, her grandfather trailing behind.

    “Hmm,” Tena said speculatively, picking up one of the pancakes and biting into it. It was good, but he’d forgotten the flour, buttermilk, etc. which were kind of primary elements. “Well, honey,” Tena said, “they’re a little chewy, and you forgot to add pretty much every base ingredient... and they’re undercooked. Sorry, but facts are facts.” They were still sweet though, and Ani was too, so she ate them all despite the fact that that much food was a good three times the amount she would ever eat on a normal day. A powerful wave of Rioting hit her and she growled. “Quit it!” she snapped at the air. “If you want me to do something, come and ask me yourself. Geez.” Then, with dramatic timing only he could manage, Lenare walked through the doors to the balcony and grinned at her. He knew what had happened at DIDGERIDOO, of course; he knew everything. “Oh, am I disturbing you? Hey, Anthony.” He gave Ani a thumbs-up. “Oh, get to the point,” Tena said, annoyed. Her grandfather could act like such a preteen for being over a thousand years old. “Well, two people are getting married, and that wave of Rioting you just experienced was the groom calling for people to come. Are you going to?” “Sure. Ani, you want to come?” @Ark1002

    Fangblade started running around, Awakening people’s clothing, and only noticed how much he’d Awakened when he started to feel old. Then, minutes later, he was panting and had to lay down. I feel old. That’s odd. He’d never felt old before. He started to die. His spren started to panic. But Fang did not. He had lived long, seventeen years was a good five years longer than any other dog his size should live. I love you, Spirit-Brother. He howled, then around him was the Cognitive Realm, his spren a dog next to him, large and caring. “Bye,” they said to each other, and Fangblade was resigned when he went into the Spiritual Realm. His last thought was: I hope Tena is all right.

    Tena didn’t pay attention to what he said for a moment, instead switching flawlessly into ‘Let It Be’ by the Beetles. “Let it be, let it be... let it be, oh let it be... there will be an answer, let it be.” She stopped strumming on the uke, and chucked hard with the heel of her hand on a C chord. Ani startled a little, and Tena smiled at him. “I didn’t learn to sing anywhere, I can just kind of do that.” She waved her hand absently. “I learn instruments pretty fast, too. I only just picked this one up and I can almost strum through ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’, which is, by the way, really hard because it has like a billion chords and changes constantly. I’m good at guitar, far better at violin. I could probably play viola decently.” She set the uke down in its case and closed the case, then leaned against Ani’s shoulder with her eyes closed for a few moments, breathing and feeling... just... happy? That would probably describe it pretty well. ”I should probably make you something for breakfast,” Tena said, trying to rally herself to stand (that was something she’d never had to do before). Then, something came to her and she grinned, meeting Ani’s eyes with a wild expression. “No, you’re going to make breakfast for me. Hear that?” She sat back and continued, “Might be a little effeminate for a guy your size, but that would be a sight to see. Go on.” @Ark1002

    Nine hours after the events in the DIDGERIDOO thread: Tena woke up, warm. That was weird. It felt like arms were wrapped around her. Wait, why is there another person in my bed? She opened her eyes and saw Hellbent lying with her, his face serene and asleep. Why is Hellbent in my bed? she thought with serious alarm, trying for a moment to struggle out of his grip, weakly. Then, she remembered yesterday and relaxed. Not Hellbent. Ani. My love. Then something unusual happened. She didn’t feel an irrational, overwhelming need to get out of bed and do something. She just wanted to stay with Ani, with his arms wrapped around her, keeping her safe and warm. With the man who had taken care of her last night, who had heard of her early life and not left, but instead told her that he was sorry and that he wanted to avenge her. She just wanted to stay here, with him. She was fine with ignoring the world for once, if it meant that she could take a while to just be. She pressed her lips lightly against his for a few moments, calm and in love. That was how she wanted to spend all her time now, strangely. But, unfortunately, she couldn’t. That urge to do something won over, and she carefully extricated herself from Ani’s arms, not wanting to wake him. She got out of bed and sorted through her thoughts, making a list of what she needed to do. She tested her Allomantic abilities, discovering that she was now a chromium Misting (which annoyed her), then teleported away. *** Tena came back to the house after forty-five minutes, carrying a bag in her arms. She set it down on the coffee table, then saw that a gift was there. A box with the name Tena on it. She opened the box, knowing it was from Lenare, that sneaky bastard, and found a really nice ukulele within. Inside of thirty minutes she was playing and singing along, flipping through the book of chord charts that had also been in the box. She was singing Deck the Halls when Ani woke up. @Ark1002

    Tena kissed Ani lightly on the mouth for a moment, then settled back down. That sounded like something Hellbent would say, and yet not. Hellbent would have definitely threatened violence, but he never cared about anyone else. Not like Ani cared about her. Well, Ani can’t be completely different from Hellbent. They are, after all, practically the same person. She closed her eyes and wriggled closer to Ani, the warmth of his body feeling great. He was so... something. Something that described how much she loved him, how he cared for her, how he was willing to help her after only knowing her for a day. A word that meant all of those things. Awesome. He was awesome. She fell asleep, feeling safe, and knowing that she was in the arms of someone who loved her. @Ark1002

    Tena is becoming an unoverpowered edge LADY as we speak. Mostly just by falling asleep.

    She whimpered, then relaxed. He was wonderful, so warm and kind and everything she could have ever wanted. Her thoughts dropped into a more calm state, and her sense of identity returned. Tena breathed slowly. “I ran a gang back in the day, when I was sixteen. In Kharbranth. I didn’t employ trustworthy people, and I found that out when one of them raped me.” Her voice got progressively quieter as she continued. “I Snapped. Killed him. He deserved it. He was an awful person.” She took a moment to calm her breathing. “I gave birth to a girl a while later. Stillborn.” She snuggled into Ani’s arms. What a great guy. What an absolutely fantastic guy. Thinking of that was the only thing that kept her from breaking into tears. @Ark1002
