Elunara went down into her library and started sorting her work out for the week, just in case it took too long.
"So what are we going to do about Elunara?" Jordan leaned against the big bedroom door. "We can't leave her here by herself."
"We'll take turns." Grogek pulled on a shirt.
"I guess I'll take first round of babysitting duty."
"I can HEAR you!" She stared at the ceiling.
"My shoulder's still killing me, and if she tries anything, I can guilt her with it." He grinned.
She threw her papers on the desk. "I can STILL hear you!"
Grogek laid a hand on Jordan's good shoulder. "May the spirits guide you, brother."
"I'm going to NUTPUNCH the BOTH of you!"
"Hey, you called me brother." Jordan said quietly.
"Hm. That I did." Grogek considered for a moment. "You are." He clapped his hand to Jordan's good shoulder. "You are my brother."
Jordan was rendered completely speechless. He swallowed several times before returning the gesture. "And you are my brother." He grinned.
"Gods, you two saps are going to make me vomit." Elunara dove on the both of them, wrapping her arms around their necks. "I love you both."
"Does that make me the sister?" Tulani raised an eyebrow as she leaned against the door.
"I believe it does." Jordan laughed.
"Our papas are now brothers?"
Everyone looked at the two boys.
"We were just jealous of you two." Jordan grinned.
They ran to join in the hugging.
"This is the best day!" Darguni proclaimed.
"Well, it's high in the running." Bradly grinned.
"Yeah, you're right. The BEST day was the day I got a brother." Darguni grinned and put his arm on Bradly's shoulders.
"Ugh, so much love, it's awful." Elunara laughed. "Go on you two; don't you have a town to terrorize?"
"But momma..."
"You're stuck here by yourself."
"We don't want to leave you lonely."
"I'm staying today." Jordan scrubbed Bradly's hair. "You guys go tell your friends about how awesome your mom is. She probably terrified some of them, you need to do damage control, or they might not join the warriors."
Elunara sighed. "Yes, that's the most important job right now, making sure people don't think I'm some kind of monster."
Grogek snorted. "Just another training exercise. I'll do my end."
"I'll try to ease the minds of the townsfolk." Tulani sighed.
"You know, fuck it. I like when people hate me." Elunara crossed her arms. "I'm used to that."
"Oh, don't be that way." Tulani brushed her lips against Elunara's. "You're a sweetheart and we all know it."
"Don't worry momma, we'll let them know you're the best!" Darguni tugged on her shirt.
"I'm sure Lydia would tell them too." Bradly blushed.
Elunara sighed. "I'm going to go stir crazy."
"You spend most of your time indoors anyway." Tulani poked her.
"Yeah, but I usually have some form of entertainment. Being here by myself is going to make me bonkers."
"I'm here." Jordan brushed a hand down her arm.
She gave him a cool look. "All by myself... babysitter."
The boys giggled before running off.
Jordan kissed her shoulder. "It'll be ok. We're right here for you."
Tyrande stepped into Renwa's office. "I got your message."
"I'm glad you could get here so quickly."
"I would do anything for my daughter."
Duchie's eyebrows shot up. "She's your..."
"Oh, I didn't tell you?" Renwa raised an eyebrow. "An oversight, I assure you." He paused and narrowed his eyes. "Didn't you read her books?"
"Twice... but, uh... I seemed to have missed that tidbit."
"Old friend, you're starting to make me think you're incompetent."
"This is all well and good, but where is she?"
"She has been confined to quarters until you could decide how best to deal with her."
Tyrande nodded. "She would not come back to Darnassus, so I have brought Darnassus with me. I've also called in a few favors here. I will need a wide, clear area."
"The training yard has a training ring."
"That will do. Lead me to it."
Tyrande observed the area. "Is this where she lost herself?"
"Yes."
"All the better. Ladies, do what you came to."
