*Eden thought about playing innocent and inquiring where to, but it seemed counter-productive to the task at hand. She nodded once before looking ahead of them.*
“Lead the way. Though I might suggest elsewhere. I doubt that my mother would approve of your presence here.”
*She spoke with a surprising eloquence from such a small form.*

"I'm sure" she lifted her hand softly and a black hole appeared before them "how about a park? It's a lovely day."
What would she know about lovely days?

"Sounds just peachy."
*Eden nodded in all seriousness. After all, this was business. Had to keep a game face.*
"But I rather take my way, if it's all the same to you."
*Without her wand, she lifted her small hand and whispered softly for a moment. A section of the wall started to shimmer. She smiled innocently and took a step towards it.*
"You can come with me or meet me there. The park is just a few blocks from here."
And the first step to avoiding a trap is knowing of its existence.

"I shall meet you there" Lilith grinned as she stepped through the black hole, knowing exactly of which park the girl meant.

***NEW NIGHT***
*Icarus manifested in the living room. The building was dark. And damaged. He noted the large crack in the ceiling with a frown. He worried. For his family. For her. But things were complicated now, even more than they had been. Had Lilith returned and finished her vengeance? Had Malefica fled with the children? What of Eden? He sank heavily into a chair, the shadows hiding his twisted shape.*

*Malefica came into the living room. She looked exhausted after another sleepless night full of preparing and awaiting the next attack from Lilith. But she was glad she had brought Eden to safety. Gawain was sleeping in the transporter she always carried him around in. She never let him out of her sight. Now she needed a glass of water, to keep awake and keep watch in the night, in case Lilith would return.*

"Malefica..." *He whispered at the sight of her. His voice was somehow deeper, with a bit of a rattle in it.*
"It is...I am relieved to see you are well."
You know, alive.

*Malefica startled and turned around. The terribly days without Icarus... thinking he was dead... and now she heard his voice. Was this another trick from Lilith? In that case, it was a cruel one. Then she noticed him in the chair. Her eyes filled with tears of joy.*
"Icarus? Is that you? I thought you were dead!"

"I am..." *He swallowed, unsure of how to put it. He stood slowly, but kept in the shadows.*
"...not anymore."

*Malefica looked up at him, then she came toward him, slowly, but with a soft smile, and a dawning light in her eyes, out of joy of seeing him again.*
"I have missed you so much. I thought I'd never see you again."
*She came even closer, to give him a kiss.*

*Icarus's body tensed. He didn't want her to see him like...this. But he also...wanted her embrace. So he stood his ground, moving neither forward or back, safer in the darkness.*

*Malefica put her baby transporter carefully down in a chair, hoping it wouldn't wake up Gawain. But she knew that if Gawain was touched by his father, he would probably start crying agan. As soon as she had seen to the sleeping child, she threw herself in Icarus' arms, embracing him. Tears were streaming down her face.*
"I have missed you so much!"

*He smiled faintly. Until she touched him. Her skin seared his, pain shooting through him. He cringed back, his skin smoking.*
"I..." *He panted, gritting his teeth against the pain.* "...have missed you too." *He whispered.*

*Malefica noticed him cringe and released him reluctantly. She didn't want to cause him pain. When she saw his smoking skin, her eyes widened.*
"Oh Icarus! I am so sorry! I didn't mean to..."
*She looked in her skirt pocket and found a tiny box of salve.*
"Try to put this on. Oh, Icarus, what has happened to you? I was so worried."
