"Good to know." Hazel commented.

"Would you like me to prepare dinner?" She asked after a few seconds.

"I expect you are likely getting to be hungry."

"Mistress wanted her. Wants her. I am not sure what the current status of that is..." Hazel commented.

"As a result, she made sure that I an the others who were often not in the complex were aware of various intricacies regarding her and her mana." She continued.

"And I am enough of a freak of mana that I am capable of causing the Fyrane rune to just drop abruptly and unexpectedly if I were to put the effort out." She told him. "Ties in with how my mana is technically uncontrollable chaos."

Hazel paused a moment.

"Harmony? That is not a name one hears often." She commented.

"Last woman I know of with that as a name, is Rowena Fyrane. Her middle name is Harmony." She added offhandedly. "It is a much older name."

"Why?" Hazel asked.

"Grey eyes are not a natural sight to see?" She asked after a moment or two.

"And I can cover what makes me stand out." She then said. "Have no fear. I will not draw attention to you for accompanying an unnatural freak somewhere." There was nothing to her voice, it was merely a statement.

It didn't bother her to call herself a freak, at all.

Hazel was silent for a moment, thinking about it.

"Of course. That would be around... five in the afternoon?" She asked.

"Yeah, about there. Probably a little earlier to make good time." Ash answered. Hazel just nodded.

"I am not sure how travel will be for me, I admit, however, only one way to find out."

Sure enough, he heard her lightly kick the glass door outside. She was out on the balcony, as she oten was. However, she came in to clean and cook for him, no problems. When he'd gone on the one info gathering hunt, he'd found the place basically spotless when he returned.

If there was anything that Hazel excelled at, apparently, it was cleaning.

"Oh! Right, I should give you my number, huh?" She asked with a light laugh.

"Might be good." Ash answered.

"Yeah, of course. This is my number." Harmony told him before rifling off her number for him.

"Let me know if anything changes. You don't need to give me a heads up about your roommate coming or not. " She added

"I keep extremely odd hours. Harmony told him honestly. "So any time is best, really." She added.

"Anyhow, the coordinates are..." She paused, and once he assured her he had a pen and paper, she gave them to him.

"There's a cafe in that plaza that we can meet for. How about... about noon tomorrow? We can meet for lunch, my treat." She told him. She had no idea if that would be too soon or not, but Vincent had told her that the sooner the better.

"It's quite large. Three bedrooms, a main room, kitchenette and private half bath. Most of the cooking and bathing would be done in the rest of the house." Harmony answered honestly.

"There's a rather large fireplace down there too. One there, and one in the main room. And yes, they are connected, so you do have to take care." She continued.

"I'm reasonably certain there's plenty of space for two people." She assured him. "I live alone otherwise." She paused here.

"And I'm just on the edge of the limits for London." She finally answered. Ash paused.

"Huh. You don't have an accent." He commented.

"... Nor do you. Phone number is in Ireland, yet you don't really sound Irish." She countered.

"And I mean in Canada. I can give you coordinates for somewhere we can meet, if you would prefer. I cannot let you mana right onto my property, as I have extremely powerful barriers. I would need you here first, to add you to the 'ignore' list, before you can mana in."

"My name is Harmony." She started after a moment or two.

"I got your number from Vincent Remmington. We had been chatting, and he mentioned how you were looking to move." She continued.

"I have a basement apartment that, while it does need to be properly cleaned out of all the dust and random stuff I've stashed in there for storage... it's perfectly livable." She told him honestly.

"Assuming sharing a house with another woman wouldn't be an issue, of course."

Hazel was silent.

"If... If you are sure." She commented, her voice quiet.

"Good luck with finding a new home." She added after a moment or two.

About a week later, Ash's phone rang. When he answered it, it was a woman he didn't know the voice of.

"Hello," She greeted kindly, "Am I speaking with AJ?"

Hazel nodded.

"Good to know." was all she said. She didn't look over to him, at all.

"I am sorry, as well." She stated.

"I can see that me not knowing your names causes you such strife. I will make it a point to not be such a problem in the future."

| ᴘʟᴇᴀꜱᴇ ᴍᴀᴋᴇ ꜱᴜʀᴇ ᴛᴏ ᴀʟᴡᴀʏꜱ ᴘɪɴɢ ᴍᴇ!
Hazel nodded.

"Thank you." She said, in reference to him giving her his name.

"... what is your brothers name?" She then asked. "I have only ever known him as birdbrain"

Hazel didn't say anytyhing for a few seconds before just sighing, heavily.

"I am so sorry." She said, her voice quiet.

"Thank you, Squeaks." She said, gratitude in her voice. She didn't know his name, only knew him as 'Squeaker' from the others. At no point had names actually come up while they were there, as they were more than a little caught up in everything else.
