Glory went and quickly filled her grandmother in on what was happening. She felt bad asking her grandmother to watch the children so often, but to be honest, she didn't trust her mother with them, so her grandmother was the next best thing. Once everything was all squared away, she went to find Léan.

"We can go," she said. "We just can't take too long, I need to be back to feed the twins soon."

Léan nodded, understanding. "All right...perhaps you want to lead the way? It might stir up more trouble if we approach and I'm leading. Arcturus won't be upset, but Damon might be."

Glory nodded.

"Alright," she said. "You'll have to help me find them, though." Leaning up, she gave him a kiss. "Come on, let's go."

((Going to hop off to take a shower.))

Léan took her hand, sighing softly. "They should be in the one area of our territory that we haven't explored, yet. To the left of the beach." It was a deep, cavernous area--a sinkhole in the continental shelf.

"Alright," Glory said. She took his hand and went outside with him. She wanted to be back quickly, just in case the children needed her.

Léan dipped into the water--he had just kept a towel around him the whole time. He settled down near one of the rocks and waited patiently for her to lead the way. For some reason, the area where Archie and Damon had made their home weirded him out a bit. He never had the desire to go near it.

Glory had also just kept her towel around her, so it was easy enough to slip intO the water next to him. She knew the general direction where they were going, so she gently tlol his hand and started off.

Léan was able to keep pointing her in the correct direction whenever she strayed. The one area they hadn't bothered to explore was deep and dark, despite being so close to land.

The area really was dark, and it kind of gave Glory the creeps. Even still she ventured a bit further and looked around for Archie and Damon.

Archie was easy to spot. His tail was brighter than Damon's, as was his hair. He was on the far edge of what looked like a giant hole in the sand, filled with various rocks and tiny coral reefs.

He looked up as he saw them, solemnly. It seemed like he'd been upset all day. "Hi..."

He looked so upset that Glory couldn't help but want to make him feel better.

"Oh sweetie... What happened?" she asked

"He said he doesn't want me anywhere near him," Archie muttered, looking sulky. He eerily resembled Léan in his sulking.

"Did you do anything to make him say that?" Glory asked. She knew he had a habit of annoying people already in a bad mood.

"I was trying to make him feel better...asking him if he knew of any remedies for sleeplessness. I guess he just got tired of me talking," Archie replied, mournfully.

"Well... I could try to talk to him, if you like..." Glory suggested.

"I...don't think that's a really good idea," Archie admitted, chewing on his lip slightly. "He's in a bad mood. I just wish I could find something to help with his sleeping problems. He only gets like this when he can't sleep."

Glory thought for a moment. She wanted to help, bush wasn't sure how. Then she got an idea.

"Well, I know Nana has trouble sleeping sometimes..." she said. "And she reacts badly to chemical sleeping meds, so she bought some all-natural stuff that seems to work... I could probably get my hands on some, if you want."

Archie perked up at her idea. "...If it isn't too much trouble, could you try to nab some for me?" he asked, hopefully. "If Damon sleeps, he might calm down..."

Glory nodded.

"That shouldn't be a problem," she said.

Archie visibly relaxed, looking quite relieved. "Thank you so much..." he sang, a smile on his face. It was nice to see, since it seemed like he'd been frowning all day.

"No problem," Glory replied. "I probably need to get back soon, anyways, to take care of the twins, so while I'm there I can grab it for you." She was sure the twins would be getting hungry and a bit cranky by now.

Léan waited for her a little ways away. He flashed Archie an encouraging smile, but nothing more. He didn't want to get involved...lest Archie start up his usual whiny ways.

"Bye. I'll see you later, and thanks again!" Archie seemed to have regained some of his usual cheer.

Glory nodded and then went back to Léan.

"Come on," she said, "we should get back to the house."

Léan nodded, taking her hand again and quietly leading the way back home. He didn't want to keep Glory's Nana waiting, or the twins waiting either. He was sure that Eden was probably hungry for something to eat, as well. She ate solid food, so it was easy enough to grab something for her from the kitchen.

Glory held onto his hand and went with him. The trip back was fairly short, so it didn't take long for them to get home. Glory pulled herself out of the water easily and wrapped her towel around herself again. She would take care of the twins before she grabbed the sleep-aide out of the medicine cabinet.
