The Golden Coven stays in Québec for one year.

When Harley is eight and a half, they start packing.

Zeus is inconsolable.

Comments

Harley giggles. "Yeah!"

[alicornucopia]

"I'll be Robin Hood," adds Zeus imperiously, "but you can be whoever else you want."

[pythbox]

"I'll be Marian!"

[alicornucopia]

"Okay! The trailer shows her costume so you can be her even if we go to the first showing," nods Zeus. "I bet the Princess'll conjure it for you. Mom will make mine, I bet."

[pythbox]

Harley beams. "Awesome!"

[alicornucopia]

"I wonder if she'll make me a bow and arrow, though," muses Harley. "Do you think the Princess will make you that dagger thing that Maid Marian has?"

[pythbox]

"I dunno!" he says. "We'll see, I guess! It'd be fun to have a dagger thing."

[alicornucopia]

Zeus nods. "And you can be all, hwa! Yargh!" and he gets up and starts flailing around in clumsy imitation of the Maid Marian action scene from the trailer.

[pythbox]

Harley giggles at this display.

[alicornucopia]

"And I'll be all," and he shifts posture to mime a bow and arrow instead. "Yeah. It'll be great. I'm so glad you're staying!"

[pythbox]

"Me too!" says Harley, and he hugs Zeus again.

[alicornucopia]

Zeus abandons his mime to return the hug. "And you'll be here when I floof and I can give you wolf rides and stuff!"

[pythbox]

"Floofy snuggles," giggles Harley.

[alicornucopia]

"Sure!"

[pythbox]

"I love you," Harley declares, hugging him some more.

[alicornucopia]

"I love you too," says Zeus comfortably, "and you should live here all the time, next door forever."

[pythbox]

"That'd be awesome!" says Harley.

[alicornucopia]

Zeus nods importantly. "Yes. All of the things that I want are awesome, is why I want them."

[pythbox]

"You know," he says, "I bet Aedyt would make us costumes and stuff!"

[alicornucopia]

"Ooh, maybe! And then my mom won't drag me to the fabric store. I don't like going to the fabric store."

[pythbox]

"I'll ask!" he says.

[Hey Aedyt, do you wanna make Robin Hood and Marian costumes for me and Zeus?]

[pumpkin_pie]

[Sure,] says Aedyt. [How involved do you want to be in this process?]

[pythbox]

"Do you wanna help Aedyt make them? I do! I bet it'll be really fun!"

[alicornucopia]

"I could try it," allows Zeus. "If it's fun."

[pythbox]

"So fun," Harley promises. "I love making stuff with Aedyt!"
