view of higher xanthe, blushing and gazing at higher irak lovingly, as lower irak speaks off screen "i'd say what i've seen of you is just the start. you could show me a different tree each day and i'd be just as enamored." view of higher irak blushing and blooming with flowers as that one gazes back at higher xanthe, while lower xanthe speaks off screen "pff u rly think that highly of me?" view is back to lower xanthe, smiling with a hand in hoodie pocket and saying "Y R U being so nice 2meh .. its kind ofweirddd" irak replies "am i not allowed to try and give 'myself' a bit of compassion instead of fights? are you worried?" xanthe hesitantly says "um... a little bit, yea.." view of higher xanthe and irak looking at their lower selves converse off screen. "is something wrong?" "it's just.. u kno how it's been with ezmira.. when things r good its usually about to get bad."

lightning and smoke obscures, but there is a foot step somewhat visible. the smoke begins to clear, and rebel emerges. xanthe tells him "u literally DONT have 2 do that. at all." rebel smiles smugly. as he blows smoke from his face, he replies "yeh but i WANTED to so i fucken did!" rebel barrels past xanthe and irak, heading straight for the kitchen. "moooove i gotta get some pizza before its gone!!" xanthe sarcastically replies "fine i'll moooove" (mocking rebel/almost comparing him to a cow). irak lifts his skirt, saying "watch the hem."

william says "oh i change mMy mmind. i keep my sudoKu and my telly buT i swap my booksSo i can take xanthe's phone." xanthe looks utterly shocked. Now grasping his flip phone as if it's actually on the line, xanthe whines to irak "rrrrockyyy tell ur stupid brother 2 stfu" irak calmly but flatly says "William." liam laughs to himself as cecilia smiles at him, albeit with some hesitancy.

Yall?" adelmar groans and replies "do *i* get three items or do we all share 3 items." a grinning ezmira replies "just the three for all of you cuz its only fair :p" adelmar says "uuuuugh okay. makes sense." ezmira replies "you all share everything anyways soo"

matthew proudly announces "i'd bring my toolkit. does the island have trees, or do i need'ta bring my own wood?" cecilia laughs "to make the boat???" matt replies "no, to make a chair to lay back in!" william says "wwy not justT bring the chairrr ? it's less work.." cecilia, smirking, says "you know, liam, some people find value in putting in effort and taking time on something. it's enriching for them to actually form longterm but meaningful hobbies." liam groans "UUUrff g h Gross." matthew, leaning on the table with his hand to chin, fluttering his wings as flowers show, says "well what're YOU gonna bring? your magic little telly over there?" william replies "Hhe yy. that's not the ONLY thinGg i'd take." william says "i'd also bringg sudoku or maybe a boo,k or ten." matt replies "HAHA nerd ;D"

ezmira pauses awkwardly, unsure if it was the right thing to say. xanthe and irak look at him, both a bit stunned. irak chimes in to help break the ice, "oh, i think i'll go first! why, i'd bring a boat!" liza, seemingly in a lighter mood already, says "you can't pick a boat, that's cheating! pick something else! haha" she folds her arms and explains, "the point of the game is to assume rescue is on the way, you're just picking how you spend your time until then. what's most important?" cecilia asks offscreen "so just your hobbies or stuff you like, then?" "right, exactly."

liza, looking annoyed at xanthe, says "*I give a fuck, xanthe!" xanthe replies "oOooO sry liza" she replies "it's elizabeth to you. you know you're not the only one here with hardships too. i don't want to talk about this any more with you." mia leans over the counter to hiss angrily at xanthe, in defense of liza. xanthe moodily mocks mia back at her, while irak and william both look to xanthe with a bit of restrained anger (they are protective of liza) ezmira, to ease tensions, blurts out "IF you were stranded on desert islant. w-wat 3 things would u bring."

xanthe interrupts, blurting out "UR ROYALTY?!?!" looking surprised, xanthe says "Y WOULD U GIVE THAT UP 2COME *HERE*?!?!" irak, looking slightly hesitant to explain, says "Dear, we gave it up decades ago. we've been fleeing our father since we were barely adults." view of irak in the foreground, but liam in the background speaking now. "we neverr saw any benefitSs under our fatherr. (esppecially noT me.) if we werRent exacTly what he wanted, we werre as good as dead." irak still looking at xanthe as xe reply to william. "let meh guess, you failed him then? didn't live up 2 him and got killed?"

close up of irak as that one speaks. "things became a lot more strict under His rule. but what He says is Goddess's will, so everone followed." irak continues to speak off screen as liam is shown facing somewhat away, eating in silence. "we were at the mercy of Him growing up. as soon as we were able to, we fled. but the society He built wasn't any kinder. most people act in their environment and adapt to survive. Us included." xanthe, realizing something and putting two together, as irak keeps speaking. "and i do apologize on HIs behalf, Goddess. it's not fair to your name for Him to use you as a tool. He was quite good at that.." liam continues eatin away as cecilia replies. "Oh i absolutely have a few choice words about him, but that's for another day. maybe over tea later we can diss on him haha. .. At least i didnt have to see him face to face. You both had to grow up with him."

liza saying "our gender is expressed through our wing colour, so like me and dad are green. but he's a submissive green, meaning he's supposed to take more of a passive role in fae society. i was supposed to, too, but i chose differently for myself. it's hard, though, because the expectations are higher for me now. not to mention the different factors of flower types.." xanthe is shown eating and looking slightly lost, but listening, saying "but the eye colour matches the wings, right?" liza replies "in cases like me or dad, yes. but not for all. some even have multiple wing colours." xanthe replies "wut happens wen theres 2 different colours then? do u get best of both social worlds, or neither?" "uhm. ... neither." liza finishes, "you don't really get accepted well in to either 'side.' like you 'failed' at both genders." xanthe looks over to irak, whose expression is hidden. irak, realizing xanthe has been thinking about irak's two wings, says "well.. it wasn't always like this. it was a lot different before the most recent coronation and rule. when His Holiness changed it."

"chic?" liza asks. mia replies "oh ummm it means like... more fashionable and modern. it's like, not so stuffy and all." liza says "ooh! right, okay." liza happily eats pizza and says "maybe a place like this will be good to be myself. to be open." everything is in a pale green colour. mia smiles as she eats and replies "oooh..! i think it's a great place for you here." everything is in pink tones. xanthe interrupts, leaning on the counter slightly past irak, saying "what's the gender system with fae? is it rly hard there?" liza looks a bit lost in thought and says "um, it's complicated. and for the latter, it's hit or miss."

matthew stepping back outside to check on lilas, saying to him "hey, you comin in to eat? or you solo like adelmar?" lilas replies "uhm, nah, too loud in there." matthew turns back inside, hearing the sound of cecilia answer him "he gets overstimulated easily. big crowds are too much for lilas" to which matthew replies "OH haha yea we're real loud types, makes sense." he seems cheery, not offended. view of floor level as higher spirit xanthe and irak sweeping up broken music box fragments. mia and liza can be heard talking off screen, "sooo. ~ how do u like it here? ^^" "ooh, um!" a happy but somewhat shy liza talks, "yeah, it's nice! everyone's really nice here, there's so many things to do too." mia replies "yeah its like. probably sooo much more chic here. um, no offense of course ^_^!"

xanthe approaches as irak and ezmira converse, ezmira saying "CHEESE IN CRUST (excitedly shrieks) YESS" irak replies "theres is ? i didn't know pizza could have that." "you never had it ??" "there is pizza where i'm from, but it certainly isn't as easy to acquire as it is here! i have never seen any with cheese inside the crust." "BITE IT EAT IT" the two eating together, everything tinted in warm pinks. they are both blushing. irak, still blushing but noticing xanthe, says "you can join us if you'd like, xanthe." xanthe, now blushing themself, seems a bit taken aback but curious with the offer of inclusion.

irak says "pizza and coffee.. what an odd breakfast, innit?" matt replies "good thing we're all odd, right?" irak says "OH, very." ezmira approaches, saying "give me slice i want slice. pizza" irak turns to her and says "hm? oh, yes!" "pardon, give me a moment will you? have to keep my gloves clean." irak removes a glove, that makes ezmira say "HAND REVEAL grrr <33 heheh :33" irak then feeds a slice of pizza to a happy ezmira.

adelmar sits at the table, still playing his ds. irak says "why don't you take a break from that? you could socialize a bit, perhaps?" "this IS how i socialize. i'm in the same room as you." matthew walks by to answer the door. "nope, pizza's here! you can play that later, y'all're stuck with us now!" adelmar groans "uuuurgggggh FUCK fine." rebel inside laughs. liam has already answered the door and is eagerly taking the pizzas from the delivery elf, who says "you got people over? you guys never have people over. what's the occaision?" william says "Yyeahg we have a resurrecteD xanthe now. oh and my daughter." "what?" ezmira is skwawking and barking like a dog from the window. ezmira then turns to liam saying "PIZZA! PIZZA! PIZZA! PIZZA! GIMME GIMME GIMME IT" liam growls and gurgles, letting some of his roots and flowers out to try and intimidate ezmira to back off.

higher irak and xanthe sit on the floor playing with william's hair as he watches tv. "snooki haz suchH a way with worDz" higher irak makes a low growling noise. adelmar, the emo from earlier, emerges from the side room as rebel internally talks to him. "hey hey. HEY. you have to let me out after you eat your sticks. i want some fuckin pizza too" "..fine." he walks by the table. xanthe looks over, saying "oh haaaay adelmar" "my ds is on red so i came out to plug it in. where's a plug?" "theres a plug near the door, itll reach 2 that chair rite there (//-^)" shot of adelmar plugging in a power cord to his ds. the background is a vivid gradient from green to purple, with purple and green stars. adelmar says "who's the older guy ? rocky, right?" "..it's irak. i assume rebel already told you enough on me. your name is adelmar, is it? pleasure to meet you." "yeah. it's whatever tho"

cecilia looks outside the window past the red curtains to see the rising sunlight and glow. irak's speech bubble says "trees cannot grow if they don't let the light in. and you can't make things right if you aren't growing." xanthe says "sargon was teh only 1 who stood by me no matter wut shit i did... they've seen meh in my best && worst moments." irak kindly replies "that seems like a kind of love that's safe. no 'expectations.' and it hasn't changed." cecilia realizes theyre figuring out things on their own, and that she isn't even needed to help guide them, and smiles to herself. they continue talking to each other. "yeah.. but then urz is the opposite. so wuts that mean 4 u." "hmm.." "well u alwayz look liek u got it all held 2gether, but i dont think u do. mb u just arent stopping 2 listen 2 urself inside." "hahaha how poetic. you really do have a way with getting under my skin." "RLY?? I DO?? <3" cc gets up and walks over to the others in the room. "what are you all up to?" liza smiles "watching the telly, have you heard of this show 'jersey shore'?"

two panels. top panel is irak speaking to xanthe, saying "im sure deep down you may already know what's eating you up inside. maybe your own subconscious patterns that keep you from that joy?" second panel is a nervous looking xanthe with cc saying "it very well could just be you are your own worst enemy. since the reversed moon can talk of an adversary." a visual background colour that has a subtle glow and clouds to it, and xanthes colours match. xanthe pauses, then says ".. do you think.. sargon would want me 2 b happy?" irak takes xanthe's hand again and says "well, i don't think sargon wants you suffering. i think they would want you to really use your second chance." cc looks as if she is listening too. irak continues to speak off screen to xanthe, as a close up of a subtley crying cecilia is in frame instead. irak says "i may not know sargon as well as you, but i shan't think they would want you to blame your self for how things came out. self-shame and guilt won't change the past. it just gets in the way of your steps moving forward."
