*Without thinking, Icarus returned her embrace. So soon... It was all a bit overwhelming.*
"What can she do? Can she manifest? Teleport? I want to know everything."
*His eyes sparkled in eagerness, all else forgotten for a short moment of happiness.*

*Malefica enjoyed his embrace, and snuggled even closer to him, proud over their daughter.*
"Icarus, I was so proud of her. She destroyed my workroom completely with her willpower. Everything was burned down to nothing within seconds! I promise you, she's no amateur. And thorough too! I had to stop myself from kissing her when she did that. And I had a hard time resurrecting it too. She's the best student I've ever had.
And the use of her wand, I have never seen a child learning the curses as quickly as she did!"

*Icarus blinked, as if to make sure he wouldn't wake up.*
"Why...that's wonderful."
*His brow furrowed slightly.*
"But...is she all right? I mean, can she handle it?"
*He knew what it was to bear dark magics, the temptations they held.*

*Malefica looked up at him and smiled, with a twinkle in her eyes. She chuckled with laughter.*
"Well, it seems like she thinks her old mother is boring, since I usually practice White Magic. She seems to handle the Black Magic well, but I hope you can keep an eye on her anyway? Just in case? And maybe speak to her about the temptations the dark magic helds. I tried to talk to her about it, but you know she always listens more to you than to me."

*Icarus nodded knowingly.*
"It is a weakness of the young to reject advice."
*He looked her over with a soft smile.*
"And coming from someone of the 'wrong' side, your thoughts might sound disingenuous."

*Malefica laughed and looked back at him warmly.*
"I know, Icarus. Merlin had a Dickens of a time to teach me manners. Believe me, I was a little devil at Eden's age. And I thought his opinions were boring and refused to listen to him. But he was a patient man. One day I tried his patience and went too far, and he bristled. And used Dark Magic against me. Only then I learned to respect him."
*She looked up at him.*
"I've been a bad girl today, by the way..."

*His brow arched.*
"How so?"

*Malefica blushed and hid her face against his chest.*
"Leetah and I are playing tennis each morning, to keep me fit and in shape when Lilith arrives. It also trains my reflexes. But when we play, we are wearing tennis outfits. I didn't think you would mind, since we are only girls playing. But when we walked back from the tennis court, two men started following after us.
We tried to ignore them, but they wouldn't leave us alone. They started harassing us. Well, in the end I got angry with them and turned them into ice statues. We left them there, and they were starting turning light blue when we walked back here."

What. The. F**k?
*Icarus just stared at her. This...it was so random, so...unrelated to any of the things on his mind at the moment. He kept trying to make it process, but he couldn't.*
"And?" *He finally managed expectantly.*

*Malefica looked up at him. She had expected many reactions, but not this calm one. It gave her courage to continue.*
"The tennis lesson was at 5 am. We wanted to start early, to have the tennis court for ourselves. And now it is evening. Do you think they still are inside the iceblock I trapped them in? Alive?"

*Was this a test? Icarus's brow lowered.*
"Um, well...perhaps. If the heat of the day melted them or someone found them or..."
*He shook his head.*
"Why does this matter again?"

*Malefica smiled and shook her head.*
"It doesn't. I just wanted to tell you that I have been a bad girl. Are you angry with me?"

*He shook his head in disbelief.*
"Uh...no? Why would that upset me? Even if we weren't forced to deal with the inevitable confrontation with your powerful mother and the blossoming of Eden's dark powers."
*He shrugged.*
"They got less than they deserved."

*Malefica smiled relieved and huggled him.*
"Thank you. I feel relieved to hear that. The reason I felt bad about it was that I removed all the oxygen from the water I froze them in. It was a rotten thing to do, but I was so angry. Especially when they suggested we should go to bed with them."

*Icarus nodded, it seemed perfectly logical to him.*
"Of course."
*His brow furrowed a moment.*
"You mean that you didn't leave any spare oxygen between them and the ice, right? Because otherwise..."
*They would be much healthier if the water had merely been reduced to hydrogen. Unless of course, they were near an open flame.*
