Harley attempts to console him anyway. Hugs? Hugs are good, right?

Permalink

Hugs are (damply) received. "You're gonna leave! And you can teleport but I can't and I won't be able to knock on your door or leave frogs in your bed or put a scary paper face outside your window for you to see when you wake up or anything!"

"That's sad!" he agrees, hugging Zeus some more. "I'm sad! Maybe Elsie can fix it."

[Elsie, Zeus doesn't want me to leave and we're sad about it!]

[Well, we don't have to travel with the capitol, if you'd rather stay.]

Permalink

[Let's stay, then!]

Permalink

[All right. I'll tell Jake.]

"Elsie fixed it," Harley announces. "We're gonna stay here instead of moving away with the coven."

Permalink

"You can just do that?" asks Zeus.

Permalink

"Yeah," shrugs Harley.

Permalink

"Wow. Cool," says Zeus, scrubbing tears from his face. "Okay! Now you can just stay here and it's great and we can go see the new Robin Hood movie. We should wear costumes and see if grownups give us free candy for being cute!"

Permalink

Harley giggles. "Yeah!"

Permalink

"I'll be Robin Hood," adds Zeus imperiously, "but you can be whoever else you want."

Permalink

"I'll be Marian!"

Permalink

"Okay! The trailer shows her costume so you can be her even if we go to the first showing," nods Zeus. "I bet the Princess'll conjure it for you. Mom will make mine, I bet."

Permalink

Harley beams. "Awesome!"

Permalink

"I wonder if she'll make me a bow and arrow, though," muses Harley. "Do you think the Princess will make you that dagger thing that Maid Marian has?"

Permalink

"I dunno!" he says. "We'll see, I guess! It'd be fun to have a dagger thing."

Permalink

Zeus nods. "And you can be all, hwa! Yargh!" and he gets up and starts flailing around in clumsy imitation of the Maid Marian action scene from the trailer.

Permalink

Harley giggles at this display.

Permalink

"And I'll be all," and he shifts posture to mime a bow and arrow instead. "Yeah. It'll be great. I'm so glad you're staying!"

Permalink

"Me too!" says Harley, and he hugs Zeus again.

Permalink

Zeus abandons his mime to return the hug. "And you'll be here when I floof and I can give you wolf rides and stuff!"

Permalink

"Floofy snuggles," giggles Harley.

Permalink

"Sure!"

Permalink

"I love you," Harley declares, hugging him some more.
