"Yeah, she's just sleeping," Jacob said, reaching up to pluck out one of his hairs. The swelling had already reduced drastically as the toxins left her tiny body. "Fair trade, right?" He was smiling now as he took the cloak from her, setting it down on the table to begin applying his formula.

It took him about fifteen minutes before he was done, standing gratefully. So far, the formula had no actual password, as it as a new batch. Because it was to be Cassi's, he would let her give it the key, but until then, it was simply black. "Are you just about done, Annie?"

"I'm glad she's okay, the bed she was sleeping in, I was supposed to sleep in, I don't think they meant to attack her, I think it was me they wanted to harm," She pulled out her crystal vial adding the hair to it, watching the elixir go from invisible to black, then back to invisible, "This is what you said didn't exist, it's an elixir a Great Druid taught me a few years ago, and I've seen it work, my cloak is back home in her hut, I've only made this once--for-for you and I won't replicate it. I'm guessing you don't have a spare cloak setting around because I'm going to show you what this does. The rune thread is added and infused with whatever the wearer needs or wishes to have."

"Oh no, I never said that it didn't exist, just that it wasn't an extension of a person's being," Jacob responded, laying the cloak on Cassi to help keep her warm. Children had a harder time doing that themselves, right? He didn't know, but he figured it better to be safe than sorry.

A bottle of honey tea was given to her, and he chuckled as she suckled at the bottle, unaware that it was a container that she drank out of daily. "Would you like to see my next project?" he asked, tilting his head slightly as he watched Annie. "I don't have an extra cloak, as you well know. But I don't think Cassi would mind lending you one of hers."

She blushed, "I was going to infuse my old one and give it to you, but the one on my back will work fine just as well, it's not important to me anyways. Sure, I would love to see what you're working on."

Anniebelle took off her cloak, pouring the clear liquid upon it, watching the make up of the cloak change as the liquid spread itself around the entire cloak on it's own, as it did she stitched a small heart on it infusing with a a few charms she whispered along with a spell she had though up especially for him--all of this being said at a barely audible level. When she was done she handed it to him, putting the vial back up.

"Try it on and go look in your mirror the cloak will go from pitch black to invisible like the elixir did and this doesn't wash out or deplete over time, I promise."

Afanassii shook his head. "Not exactly. Our family lives in a rather large complex. My grandmother is our family's head and she has her own home." He giggled as he watched her Accio practice.

Taking the cloak, Jacob tried it on in front of the only window, fully expecting it to make him disappear, which it did. He trusted Annie after all. "Thank you," he said, setting the cloak down carefully. Taking her over to his bench, he showed her a drawing, showing her designs for a new broom power source that would be twenty-five percent more efficient than the current models were. "What do you think?"

He had used several different ingredients to craft the source, quite proud of himself for getting a prototype to work without blowing up like usual. "It's actually something I've been working on for a long time, but it's just now coming to fruition," he explained, pulling the prototype out of a closet. "The materials were incredibly hard to get, but I think it will be worth it, don't you?"

"Wow. That sounds really interesting. Both of my grandparents are dead. Accio pillow!" This time it flew across the room and she caught it. She smiled, feeling as if she finally got it right. "Why are you so interested in animegi?" She threw the pillow across the room and summoned it perfectly again.

"Warming up by the fire sounds nice. I haven't done that with you since Christmas." Alyssa moved her pillow near teh fire and summoned some more to make something like a bed.

Nassii frowned a bit while he listened. "I am sorry to hear that. My grandfather has been passed away for some time now, but I imagine Grandmother will be here for a very long time." He fiddled with his own wand in a pocket in his robe while he watched her practicing again. "I think I am so interested because I've never met one... and perhaps because that is something I would like to do myself." He blushed and smiled at the admission.

"I hardly remember them.. I was two." Aurora summoned the pillow perfectly again."Do yow want to try? It's above your current level, but I'm sure you can do it. It just might take a bit of practice."

"Oh, I don't think I could. I wouldn't even know where to begin." Nassii backtracked, completely unsure of himself. "I would probably have to study up on it more..."

"Just hold your wand like this." She modeled for him and watched until he mimicked her. "You should know the incantation."

"Well they're rather interesting, I must say, but what drove you to improve their power source? The brooms technically go at the speed and will of their wielders, though it all depends on the brooms make up too. I think it's an amazing what you've done to re-engineer the broom," She blushed, "Is is ride-able, are you willing to show me the difference, I'm rather curious--I may even let my new Nimbus be a test subject."

Evonka laid down right along side Alyssa where she would most likely sit of lay, enjoying the warmth and glow of the crackling fire, "I'm really glad we get to spend as much time together as we do, if we didn't I would probably go a bit insane from missing you and sheer boredom. I would definitely be up to no good all the time, if you didn't exist, but I still don't know what I would do if something were to happen to you."

"Well, for starters, the only brooms that are powered solely by the wizard, or witch, are pretty old. They weren't exactly safe if a rider got tired, see?" Jacob explained, unscrewing the screws in the prototypes' broom handle. Of course, he had had to saw it in half in the first place, careful to not damage the power source.

"A twenty-five percent increase to efficiency also means an approximate ten percent boost to speed. The speed is still controlled by the wizard, of course, but they don't have to constantly be supplying power." he said, nodding as he took the motor out, specifically pointing out the crystal samples. "Crystals are great for distributing energy without much loss, so that's what makes up the bulk of the change, but I also altered the inside of the little device to allow for greater efficiency."

And then he was screwing the broom back up, putting it away before answering. "I haven't finished test model one yet, so no, it's not rideable. It has a tendency to shut down at the worst times," he explained, checking on Cassi again, pulling the cloak off of her. Her temperature had gone up as her body fought the toxin, but she should be fine by morning. "But I promise to let you help test the next model. It's about seventy-seven percent done right now. The parts I need are so expensive it's ridiculous."

Suddenly, it dawned on Nassii that the girl was not at all talking about what he thought she was. He chuckled a bit nervously, obviously relieved now that he understood her. "Oh, you mean the 'Accio' spell?"

"Expensive, you say," She spoke questioningly arching her right eyebrow a bit, "Along the line of Galleons, perhaps. When you next model becomes ready, I can't wait to test it out--it will definitely be a lot of fun. You know the muggles Wicca indicates that Crystals are good for infusing energy--surprisingly, only positive and negative emotions--that I know of though."

"Yes the Accio spell. I'm not expecting you to randomly turn into a rabbit or something like that when you never even looked into it enough." Aurora giggled. "Just hold your wand like so, and flick it in the direction that the item is. Don't forget the incantation." She stood back to watch.

Warmed by the fireplace and next to Eve, she started to slowly drift off to sleep. Her breathing steady and slow. She didn't dream. She never does. But for just once she was getting rest and was relaxed.

Evonka smiled down upon Alyssa, it was nice to see her sleep for a change.

"Have a pleasant sleep, my Dearest Alyssa," Evonka spoke in a light whisper, as she watched Alyssa sleep, then deciding upon herself to settle in along side her and take a nap.

Afanassii hefted his wand, feeling the weight of it in his hand as he always did before wrapping his graceful fingers around it and practicing a spell. "A... rabbit? That's not what you... do? Is it?" He asked of her before calling out the spell's verbal element and smacking himself in the arm with a pillow quite quickly.

"Oh, it's a blast! Especially whenever you start falling... rapidly," Jacob said, chuckling as he remembered the first run with the prototype. "Remember last year when I broke my leg? Yeah, that's why." Putting some more of his stuff away, he gestured for the tea stuff to pour her and him mugs, patting the other couch as he passed it to clear off the armchair.

"Yeah, but we all know that's rather silly. They can store energy, but it doesn't have an emotion, unless it's stored for a specific purpose, of course," he said, shrugging as he sat down. "Why don't you tell me a little bit about yourself?" And then he took a swig of tea, smiling as he awaited her response.

Anniebelle took her mug gently and started to sip on it, "Yeah, I remember, I always did wonder what on Earth you did to break it. The crystals that's what I meant, the emotion is turned into an energy that is in turn stored for a specific reason. Me? I don't know that there's much to tell, I mean I--my life--wow--I don't really know where to start. My Parents are a mystery, my Family they're just normal people, I'm home schooled when I'm not here--so that they see I have some sort of 'education'--I used to go to a Public School--until my twelfth birthday. I'm far from your normal Witch I guess you could say. Now, I just feel like I'm rambling--I feel like I'm boring you, your life it probably more interesting that mine, why don't you tell me a bit about yourself?"

"What do you mean not what I do?" Aurora was slightly confused. "I would never turn others into animals. My sister does that. But her seventh year was last year." She threw the pillow across the room for him to try again.

Breathing a little heavily, Jacob wiped the sweat off of his forehead with a handkerchief, motioning for the tea supplies to set down. It was certainly a lot of work to perform wandless magic. "I meant what kind of person you were; what you like and dislike, etc." he explained sheepishly, though his face became quite dark when she asked about his past. "I'd much rather not talk about it, if you don't mind."

(Sorry about not replying any sooner, Angelo--I've had computer problems, let's just say my Vaio is in the shop getting fixed--and keep it at that lol)

Anniebelle noticed how Jacob was over-exerting himself and decided to pipe up, "You know you really should be easy using magic like that, straining yourself and putting added stress on your body causes brains tumors, use your wand silly. Likes and dislikes, what kind of person I am--well obviously I can be a little bull-headed at times, I'm extremely caring, rather sensitive, and normally sweet. I like poetry, science, history, nature, reading, drawing, staring up at the stars, walking around in graveyards, ummm--listening to music, playing a few instruments, animals--I guess you could say I waver on the edge of normal and abnormal. I don't like most Slytherin's, being cursed--hexed that kind of stuff, I don't like being alone--but I'm not really alone like I used to be--I-I have friends-family I guess you could say, I don't like being picked on or punished for no reason, umm, well there's one other thing--I don't like people foul mouthing my parents. What about you? What stuff do you like or dislike?"

He laughed a bit at that and practiced the spell once again, to roughly the same effect. "No, I mean... Do you change into a rabbit?"

Aurora giggled, blushing slightly. She really liked him and found his accent attractive. "No, my animal is a wolf. Would you like to see? I wouldn't mind having you see. You're the only person who never pointed out my eyes."
