"You got it!" Ash called back.

About 35 minutes later, Ash smiled and looked at what he'd cooked up, before checking the clock. He then made his way upstairs, where he saw the door to Rowena's 'hair salon' closed... and Kitt laying in front of it.

He rolled his eyes and knocked on the closed door.

"Yo!" he called in.

"How's it going in there?" he asked.

"Ahhhhh, I see, I see." Ash responded.

"Well, have fun with... all that, then." he told her.

"Looks like Lunet's got a LOT of hair to deal with." he commented.

"Hopefully by the time you're done, I'll have finished what I'm making and we can all share treats!" he then declared.

"...what can I say, I was feeling restless and needed something to do." he then admitted.

"Nice to meetcha, Lunet." Ash responded.

He then looked at her hair and shrugged.

"Having it up hides the mess." Leo said.

"Anyway, I'm off to find your brother." he told Ash before heading off.

"How long y'think you'll be with her hair?" Ash asked Rowena.

"Oh, it's not THAT bad." Ash responded.

"Anyway, hello, hello." he greeted Lunet.

"Name's Ash Fyrane." he introduced himself.

Leo, meanwhile, just laughed.

"I DID say disaster." he said.

"And I stand by it." he declared.

Leo followed and chuckled as he saw Lunet hanging on for her life.

"You're not that high up." he said.

"But still, hanging on it good." he told her, as they started to walk through the kitchen, where Lunet was greeted with a heavenly sweet smell. One that smelled of fresh brownies that were baking.

"Hey." the one in the kitchen greeted them.

"What's up with THIS little party of people?" he inquired.

Leo chuckled a little as Kitt kept Lunet from falling, stabilising her. Once Lunet was in no danger of falling over, the large wild feline circled around her, nudging her nose against the newcomer, before aggressively pushing the top of her head up against Lunet's chin.

It was clear she was fishing for attention.

"Either Kitt's feeling particularly affectionate, or she likes you, Lunet." Leo told her.

"As Rowena said, she's friendly." he then confirmed.

"Seems she's being a big suck right now."

Leo nodded in response.

"Yep, I'm off to go find-" he started to say, before they heard padded feet coming towards them. Lunet heard it even more clearly than the others, and she could tell they belongs to an animal.

A BIG animal.

Leo paused, before shaking his head.

"Aaaaaaand that would be Kitt." he commented.

"Guess she smells Lunet."

Before Ty could say anything, the three of them were gone, and he just sat there in silence for a moment.

"...ohhhh that had better have been my imagination." he said.

"Or just my being paranoid." he muttered, slumping back and bringing a hand up to his eyes.

Meanwhile the three of them appeared in the den of the manor that Rowena had said they were going to, and Lunet IMMEDIATELY noticed the temperature.

It was warm. QUITE warm.

Ty looked absolutely stunned when he learned that her sister was the owner of the company.

"O... Owner?" he asked.

"Then... then absolutely." he said.

"I would be honoured to be a taste-tester for her blends." he told Rowena.

"Without a question."

Ty paused for a moment.

"...it is." he said.

"And that tea was... a VERY big part in my recovery from being an alcoholic." he revealed. "It was tasty, it was soothing, it REALLY helped me in the long run." he said further.

"But yes, means a lot to me." he told Rowena.

"Why?" he asked.

"Does your sister work for them or something?"

Ty looked a bit uneasy when she said that.

"...a tester?" he asked.

"Hold on, I ain't no science guinea pig." he said.

"I've had enough wires attached to me in the past." he went on.

"I swear that Kiah REALLY got overenthusiastic when I briefly volunteered to be in the lab."

Leo chuckled.

"I'm just fine with your fire." he said.

"You good, Lunet?" he asked.

"Fair warning, it's going to feel VERY warm for a brief second, but it'll go away as soon as it comes." he assured her.

"Just behave in their house, Lunet." Ty told Lunet. "You're a guest there, remember." he said to her.

"Oh, and do let me know what I'll owe you after the work done." he added, speaking to Rowena again.

Ty let out a small chuckle. It was soft, it was short, but it was there. And it was sincere.

"Fair enough." he said.

"All right, Lunet." he then addressed the youngest in the room.

"If you're good to go with Leo and Row-" he started to say, before pausing. "Mrs. Remmington?" he asked Rowena. "I'm not sure how to address you at the moment." he admitted.

"Regardless, if you're good to go, don't let ME stop you." he told Lunet.

"Just let me know when you'll be back home." he finished.

Ty and Leo looked at each other for a moment.

"I trust you." Ty told her. "If Lunet thinks she'll be okay, then I'm okay with it." he said. "Besides... mana teleporting REALLY makes me feel uncomfortable." he then mumbled.

"I'll come with, then." Leo said.

"I want to see Lindsay's books anyway. Want to check to see if he has some specific ones. If not him, then Vincent might." he reasoned.

"How long do you expect this will take?" Ty then asked Rowena.

"Any estimates?"
