In the kitchen, Ahni stood on her tippytoes and stretched mightily. No matter how much she extended, she just couldn't reach that box of cereal that had somehow gotten pushed alllll the way to the back of the cabinet. "Melaaaaa," she whined. "I cannot reach the box of the cerealllllls. Please hellllllp." She could feel herself wasting away as the seconds ticked by!

"You could climb on the counters, you know. It's your Tower." He smiled at her as he rounded the corner into the kitchen proper, then rubbed his hands together and hopped up onto the counters with ease. "See? Not hard." Neo plucked the box from the top shelf of the cabinet, peered at its label before handing it down to Ahni. "Ugh. Sugar Blast, that cereal's terrible for you."

"I can climb on everything?" Her elfin features lit up with a big, devilish grin as she snatched the box of cereal and took off.

Neo continued to stand on the counters, finger raised as if to say something. "Wait-- oh damn. I should not have said that, I immediately regret saying that." He sighed and turned to an elemental that was sweeping the floor (and doing a terrible job). "Welp... Let's do this." The elemental nodded, Neo jumped down from the counter, and the pair went off to make sure Ahni didn't fall off of the top of the Tower.

"Shh, shh!" A skinny finger pressed to her lips as she stared into the bedroom. Carbuncle, Ahni's partner in crime, flicked his triple tails in annoyance, beady black eyes on his Master. He hadn't made the sound! The Tower was -- well... Ahni wasn't sure how old it was, but it must have been ancient and full of old creaky noises that most certainly weren't the little Eidolon's fault.

Once the Keeper was sure that the angel hadn't been disturbed, she launched the second part of her plan:

Using the marshmallow shooter she'd gotten the other day to hit Neo in the face with jumbo marshmallows until he woke up.

All of her candy was gone. All of it.

Ahni was lamenting this fact as she shuffled through the Tower one morning. Carbuncle, as always, trotted along beside her and refused to comment one way or the other. "Mela should buy me more candy. I am sure he could get some on his way back home from adventures." Just as the words left her mouth, an elemental showed up at her side and offered up a small crate filled with... gold coins? Was this Mela's stash? The little lady stopped shuffling, peered down at the contents of the crate, squinted. Skinny fingers snatched up one of the coins and squeezed it.

It didn't feel like a coin.

In fact... Ahni put it between her teeth and bit it, an old trick she'd seen in a movie once. The coin broke -- revealing chocolate inside! Mela was conning the poor people of Rhydin with chocolate coins wrapped in gold paper! Of course to a normal person, those thoughts would've made absolutely no sense, were totally unviable -- it was Neo, after all -- but Ahni was not a normal person.

So what else would she do when presented with a small crate of chocolate coins?

See how many would fit into her mouth at once, obviously.

"Uhhhhh... Mela, what's this?" Neo stood at the door to the Tower of Earth, eyeing a giant crate that had just been delivered, hands on his hips.

Ahni beamed and flapped a hand at him. "It is nothing, Mela. Nothing to worry about!" The little lady made shooing motions at him as three earth elementals appeared to carry the crate inside. It was nearly as tall as the little Keeper and twice as wide.

Neo squinted at Ahni for a few moments, as if to decide whether or not it was worth it to continue to question her. He was pretty sure the contents of the crate weren't dangerous -- Ahni simply wouldn't allow something hazardous into her Tower, after all.

Meanwhile, Ahni was giggling to herself. She just couldn't stop laughing long enough to tell him that the crate contained (almost literally) a ton of mini marshmallows.

"You still haven't named that bunny." Neo idly remarked, flapping a hand in a very Ahni-like fashion. He did not remark, however, on the fact that Ahni was holding the little lop-eared critter under his front legs and flying him around like a superhero.

The little Keeper stopped suddenly, warm amber irises moving from the fuzzy bunny in her hands to Neo's face. "We have not? I thought we had." She lifted the bunny to her face, touched noses with him. The black-spotted critter blinked slowly. "Well... what is a good name?"

Neo scratched at the back of his head and shrugged. "Hmm. Bob?"

"No no! Bob is the --" Skinny fingers clawed up and wiggled in a horrible interpretation of the eldritch creature's tentacles. "Have you not met Bob, Mela? This bunny is not Bob."

"Oh. OH! Bob. Right. Bob. That... yeah, no, this bunny is not Bob." A moment of pause. "...Robert?" The angel gave another pause. "What about Bob Barker?"

Ahni squinted very seriously at Neo. "No, the bunny is not Bob. And --" She lifted the critter up again to touch noses, then eyed him. "And I do not believe bunnies bark. Those are the dogs." Said slowly, as if she was trying to get Neo to understand that bunnies and dogs were different creatures. "You know. Waggy tails. Bark bark." Ahni started to sway back and forth, dancing with the little bunny.

There was that signature sweatdrop. Wait, Lily really hasn't shown her The Price Is Right? "Okay, um... how about... Drew?"

Ahni gasped and immediately stopped dancing. "HE SHALL BE NAMED DREW THE BUNNY!"

Life had been busy for the little half-elf. Between losing her Tower (and Neo's subsequent distress over what exactly that would do to his darling), opening the Treehouse Tea House, and becoming the Squire of Seaside, Ahni had almost forgotten what it was like to have free time.

Except for this very moment. Bob had graciously taken over at the TTH so Ahni could rush home to meet Neo as he returned from a particularly long adventure.

...Weary adventurers liked getting hit in the face with pies and marshmallows, right?
