Eli let out a low, annoyed growl, then stomped away off into the distance. Samirah watched as he went off. "He seems... like fun." She said to the other boy. "A lot of fun. All fuzzy and cuddly. Very sweet."

He smirked and his eyes gleamed with mischief. "Yes, very cuddly especially. You should try giving him a hug. He loves it."

"I'll bet." She winked at the boy, laughing at his blatant sarcasm. "We should all just each take turns hugging him because just one hug from one person won't be enough for him. He only wants love." She snapped her fingers in the air, summoning a small flower crown she had saved in her void. "There! We should give this to him! He'll love it!"

"Ha, totally, he needs a line for hugs." He grinned at the crown. "On it." Before she could react he had grabbed the crown and Sam and pulled an invisible her along as he placed the crown on Eli and appeared with Sam a few feet in front of him.

Astrana laughed again. "I know, they seem to want us to suffer outside with those guys."

Morgana tossed her silvery, platinum blonde hair over her shoulder. The young female elf had spent the earlier hours in her room, her mother and father fussing over her as always. She was proud of the light gray-blue dress that breezily teased the path beneath her boots. She readjusted the pin with her family's crest with great care, her piercing blue gaze studying the city of Eternalia as she neared it.

It was indeed beautiful, and the soaring crystals made her heart flutter with every step. Or maybe it was nerves. Either way, the sick, dizzy feeling in her stomach drove her on.

"I was joking!" Sam said, though she couldn't hide her laugh as she saw the mixed expressions of confusion and anger on Eli's face. "Oh- we need to run." She grabbed Almon's hand, and then turned and sprinted back towards the doors of the domed building.

Eli let out an enraged yell before running after them. He managed to keep his abilities calm, though he seriously wanted to force them to... nevermind. Happy thoughts. Think happy thoughts.

He shrugged as he gripped Sam's hand as they ran away from Eli. "Ready to disappear," he said with a smirk. He concentrated and Sam and him disappeared. He waited on Sam for directions on what she wanted to do. Which he found odd, as he never usually did that.

((Okay we'll wait for everyone else))
