So far, so good on Lin's side of the sleepover! She had to step out to get to work, so she left the boys to their own devices for a while. I mean, hey. She can't watch over them all day long! However, today made her realise something she'd felt for a few years now which only solidified this week.

While Lin was sorting out some things in her lab and making sure her team would still be functional for years to come, Mikhail made sure to take care of her bonsai plant.

Lin liked to have one around as a quick source of nature magic, and because they were just so cute! Mikhail caught himself wondering if he should buy one for their new house.

And with the cute little tree hugged and trimmed, it was time to doomscroll Netflix…

...Or that was the plan.

Mik: Dammit, nothing great on. Shame. Onyx: Whatchu looking for? Smut? Mik: Out in the open? You wish! Onyx: Well, Lin isn't around so you'd definitely be looking for that stuff! Mik: And leave a trail she can follow? Hard pass. Hey, put this screen in the aether. Onyx: What?! Mik: There's nothing on and it's currently eating up space. Obasan won't mind, I'm sure. Onyx: Alright, but you know you could put in there yourself. Mik: Well Tae told me you were being mean so consider this payback. Go on. Onyx: I'll put you away 😒 ...

Onyx grumbled and hid the TV away in the aether, a pocket of reality where you could store anything at will. She rolled her eyes, but couldn't take her eyes off Mikhail as he drank a glass of water. She thought vampires didn't need water or something, but whatever. Anything was possible!

Meanwhile, Taeyang was on a small excursion of his own.

Iverstad, Nordhaven

bell chimes 'We're closed!'

'Even for a friend?' That made Jason turn around with a smile.

Jason: Taeyang! I thought you'd be hiding from the world for a hot minute. Tae: I would have but turns out the person who made our house and club was a scammer sooooo I've been kidnapped by my grandmother-in-law 😅 . Jason: Ahahahaha! Well she loves you, I can tell! Jokes aside, if you ever need anything, my phone is always open. My talents go beyond being a bodyguard. Tae: Appreciated, man. Jason: Though I doubt you were just here to catch up after our little 'mission'. Tae: You're right, I wanted to ask something.
