Forgive, O Lord,
my little jokes on thee...

"Wh... what?" Ash asked.

"You can't come in here? Why?" he asked her.

"Hazel, the whole point of coming here was to check this apartment to see if we can live here." he said. "If you can't even come into the building, then we can't live here." he reasoned.

"What's wrong?" he asked her.

"Why can't you come in?"

...and I'll forgive thy
great big one on me.

Hazel didn't answer him, just remained silent.

"I ... I just... " She started.

"I am sorry, but I cannot. I just... I cannot." She then said, knowing that it wouldn't be enough, but also knowing that she couldn't tell him the truth. She'd always been beaten for bringing it up, and she didn't dare give him reason to beat her now.

Ash was now visibly frustrated. He was trying not to get angry, and succeeding, but he was still frustrated. She wasn't giving any REASONS for her refusal or behaviour, and that frustrated him.

"Ohhh, Hazel..." he groaned.

"You always say stuff like that." he told her.

"And it's getting to the point where I'm seriously starting to wonder if there's some part inside you that just wants to be difficult, or just wants to keep secrets for the sake of secrets." he admitted.

"Look, either tell me why you can't come in, or just come in." he then told her.

"Please?" he practically pleaded at the end.

Hazel was silent for a moment, shaking her head slightly.

"I..." She started, sighing heavily.

"I cannot." She then said.

"I am sorry, but... but I just..." She bit her lip slightly before getting to her feet.

"Should I leave...?" She asked, still not turning to face him, or the house.

"I will if you wish. Just... Just say the word."

"No, Hazel!" Ash almost exclaimed.

"No, I don't want you to leave." he told her.

"I want you to have a place to live. A nice place. Not a cramped place." he said further.

"I want you to just... come inside and give this place a chance." he went on, in an exasperated tone.

"...but whatever." he then mumbled, turning around.

"Guess that's not happening." he said under his breath.

Hazel was silent before sighing.

"Then I will." She stated simply, plainly as she turned to face him. She didn't make eye contact with him, didn't even look at him, but he could see it. Her stormy eyes were far more turbulent a storm than normal, now. There were also what he swore were lightning strikes within.

"Lead the way."

"Wh... I... wait, what?" Ash stammered, as he watched her stand up and turn around.

When he swore he saw her eyes being turbulent, and then swore he saw lightning strikes inside them, he took an unconscious step back.

"Hazel?" he muttered.

"Hazel, what...? You just said you couldn't come in her... and now...?" he went on, shaking his head.

"Hazel, what's WRONG?" he asked her.

"If this place isn't going to work, then we'll just leave now." he told her, his frustration peaking to the point of almost getting ready to angrily cry.

Hazel was silent.

"I am fine. Let's go." She then said before stepping up to him, ushering him inside. She didn't want to enter, but she knew she would have to. However, she also knew that this was needed.

She wanted to move.

She wanted to live in such a gorgeous area.

She would just have to ... deal with the migraines that would come from being here.

Ash didn't have time to say anything more, before Hazel ushered him back inside, and deeper into the building. He tried to look back at her, but her insistence kept him moving forward.

And they kept moving forward, until Harmony was back in sight.

"Uh... sorry..." he apologised to her.

"There was a bit of a... thing...? I guess...?" he 'explained' confusingly. And with confusion in his tone as well.

"Anyway, you... mentioned brownies." he then said.

"I'll take one, sure." he told her. "Do... YOU want one, Hazel?" he asked Hazel.

Hazel just shook her head, but didn't say anything.

"Are you all right, Hazel?" Harmony asked, concern in her voice and features.

"Yes." Was the teens curt reply.

"Well, all right then." Harmony said with a light sigh before making sure everything was good and the coffee was doing tis thing.

"Shall we view downstairs then?" She asked

"Yes... yes, let's." Ash responded.

He'd hoped that Harmony wouldn't take Hazel's curt responses, and initial refusal to enter, as her being rude of anything. He would try to explain if he needed to, but for now, he thought it best if they just went with it.

"Let's go." he told her, as they started to head towards the stairs that led down to the apartment.

"Is the only access through the main building?" Ash asked her.

"Or is there a way that leads directly outside?"

"Those giant windows we walked past next to the kitchen." Harmony answered.

"They're doors. Mana boosted glass." She added.

"I'm also willing to make whatever edits may or may not be needed." She finished with as she unlocked the door at the bottom of the stairs. When they stepped through the door, there was a rather large room, with a few doors off from it.

"Apartment through there." She told him.

"Extra bedroom there." She added, pointing to another door, "and a pool through that one there."

"A pool?" Ash asked.

"A pool." Harmony confirmed.

"Not bad at all." Ash chuckled.

"So a pool, and extra bedroom, and the actual apartment is over there." he went on.

"Interesting set-up." he commented further.

"Already, I'm impressed."

Harmony shrugged.

"I lived down here for awhile." She told him honestly.

"Built this house myself, with some help for electrical, plumbing, gas, all that kinda stuff." She continued.

"Was living down here while upstairs was being built." As she spoke, she made her way to the extra bedroom, as it was closest, and opened the door so they could check.

"All of the doors are unlocked, and the pool is heated."

"Makes sense." Ash responded.

He then made his way to the extra bedroom and looked at it.

"...woah." he mumbled. "This is pretty spacious." he said. "And it's just the extra bedroom?" he asked.

"Mmhmm." Harmony responded.

"You're winning me over, here." Ash chuckled.

"Hazel, what do YOU say?" he then asked.

Hazel, who had been silent since she entered the house, didn't answer. She had her head down, and seemed to honestly be in pain.

"It... I like it" She managed to get out after a second or two, a bit of a submissive tone to her voice. It was severely overshadowed by the pain in her words though.

"Are you---" Harmony started before pausing as the glamour that Hazel had put upon herself flickered a few times, quickly.

"... G... Get back... Th... this is going to hurt." Hazel managed to get out as a warning, before the glamour flickered again, but the black she was hiding seemed to be growing off of her.

Ash could easily tell what was going on, if only just because they were so close in the past.

Hazel was in pain, and her mana was reacting, defensively, as it normally would.

"...oh! Oh DAMN IT!" Ash exclaimed, seeing this.

"Her mana is acting up!" he warned Harmony. "She has no control over it, and it's acting up as a defensive measure for... something!" he said further, as he stepped back as far as he could.

"Hazel!" he then said to Hazel.

"Hazel, how bad?" he asked.

"What's going to happen?"

"I..." Hazel started before just letting out a blood curdling scream... and collapsing. There was a pulse of mana as she fell, but it seemed all it did was mess with their nerves for a bit.

Sadly, it did mean no one could catch her.

"... The hell happened to her?" Harmony asked bluntly after she, at least, was able to move properly again. She made her way over to the downed teen and checked for a pulse.

"Pulse is erratic, but she's alive." She commented as she lifted her.

"... She's stupid light. Does she eat enough?" She then asked, concern in her voice.

"Her mana is... well, it's chaotic." Ash replied.

"And it reacts defensively when... it thinks she's in danger..." he went on.

"But why...?" he started to ask, before shaking his head.

"And she eats. Barely." he sighed.

"I try to get her to eat more, but she keeps eating just barely enough to survive." he continued.

"Damn Encrae..." he growled under his breath.

As soon as Ash said that one name, the air around Harmony darkened.

"So she's a victim too." She commented as she walked to the door into the apartment proper and got Ash to open it. Once inside, she just made her way to the couch in the living area and laid Hazel down.

"And why? Me." She stated.

"Betcha anything it's because of me." She knew questions would be coming, and she knew that she'd have to answer them as soon as she got his number.

That didn't mean she wanted to, though.
