Sweet IronyJabir came to Lenore's room to drop a long, thin package at their door. If he had the time he'd probably stay longer, but unfortuantly today he had several chores to doThe Package  I don't know if you remember but when we were at that place I took some of Jean Michel's bones with me
Those were the material's I used to craft this sword. I though it would be rather ironic if his last remains were to defend his most hatted enemy
But if it brings you bad memories don't be afraid to dispose of it. I understand
Signed,
Jabir
P.S: Hope to have a chance to talk to you two soon. And Lenore as well if possible

How Thoughtful
Waking bright and early to obsess over her bizarre behavior the night before, Crow paced around the room worriedly. It had been so random, so completely unexpected, she didn't know what to make of it.
I don't understand. We've known each other for a while now, and all of a sudden, VOOM! Blushing!
Julian, Ethan, and Lenore sat on the couch, watching Crow pace and occassionally trip over things. The assorted animals watched as well, totally unsure what to make of things. Drucilla alone seemed to find it amusing, perching on Julian's knees and catcalling.
"Skree!"
"Shush, Dru. Crow's busy having a mental breakdown."
"Is she going to be alright? She seems... distressed."
"She'll be fine, Ethan. Don't worry."
Crow glared at Julian and Ethan, though remained silent. It certainly felt like a mental breakdown.
"Well, this is interestin' and everything, but I think I'll just go out and... yeah. See ya later, guys," Lenore said, getting up off the couch and whistling for Cole. Glad that the three adults didn't seem to notice she was leaving, she marched out the door and abruptly tripped over something.
"OW! HEY! What the hell...ooooo, what's this?"
Picking up a long, thin package, she bolted back inside.
"Hey guys! Look what I found!"
Julian got up, taking the package out of Len's hands. Ethan looked over, curious.
"Huh. Sorta heavy. Wonder what it is?"
"There's a note right there. Lemme see!"
Julian handed Len the note and started stripping off the package's wrapping. Ethan gave a stifled gasp, scuttling away over the couch.
"Boh!"
"What the... uh. Crow."
Crow, pacing again, wandered over.
"What is that?"
Julian ripped off the rest of the paper, revealing a sword adorned with bones. He gave Crow a sidelong look, his mouth set in a thin line. Beside him, reading the note, Lenore gave a gasp.
"Eww..."
Crow was starting to not like this reaction. Snatching the note out of Len's hands, she read it offhandedly.
And choked.
Jaw dropping, eyes going wide, she reread the note again and again, unsure she was understanding. Looking slowly up at the sword Julian held out to her, she turned starkly white. Julian set it down on the couch, looking concerned. Ethan twisted away from it, falling off and landing hard on the floor.
"What? What's it say?" Julian asked. Ethan and Lenore looked at Crow, looking worried.
Crow had only one response.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAGH!"

Birvan
Lenore was a little bit bored. Wandering around the grounds aimlessly, she sang to herself and laughed, playing in the melting snow. Something very long was strapped to her back, wrapped in a black veil. The tip of a spinal vertebrae could be seen poking through the fine fabric, bleached white and very morbid-looking.
"Pretty day today," she said to herself, taking a deep breath and glad it wasn't as bitingly cold as it had been before. Spring was coming soon - that added to her good mood quite a bit. Humming even more cheerfully, she decided on a whim to visit the maze. Running inside it, she twirled around and laughed again, the veiled thing thumping against her back as she moved.

A soft, whistle-like music could be heard coming from the center of the maze. As one kept approaching it grow louder and more complex, as more low tones were no longer filtered by the walls

"Huh?"
Lenore paused to listen, intrigued. She'd never heard music like that before. Immediately wanting to see what could be making such a pretty sound, she flapped her arms and went into a low flight. Soaring through the maze, she gave a delighted shiver as it grew clearer.
"Hello?" She called, flying further in.

The music, which seemed coming from the walls themselves, immediatly stoped
A man with odd silver hair and with a tattered coat came from one of the corners
"Oh hello. Didn't know there was someone here listening"

Landing gracefully, Lenore folded her wings back and peered at the stranger in fascination. One would think that recent experiences would make her skittish around strangers, but this one was....different, somehow.
"My name's Lenore. I live here. What's your name?" She said, approaching the man carefully.

"You can call me Birvan. You're one of the Mishaps I'm sure" he bowed in a polite manner

Lenore curtsied, inclining her head.
"Pleased to meet you," she said, moving a little closer. Taking a seat near him, she looked at him with even more interest.
"I'm a Mishap, yeah." She said, fidgeting and unstrapping the veiled thing from her back. Setting it on the ground tenderly, she smiled up at Birvan.
"How did you make that music?"

"Magic. Air one to be precise"
He took a couple of crystals from one of his pockets and with their aid more music filled the air
"I'm making the air around the branches to vibrate and creating the sounds but keeping them in a closed circle to prevent wind currents. It's a pretty nifty trick"

A rare real smile slowly blooming on her face, Lenore closed her eyes and listened raptly.
"It's beautiful..." she breathed, opening her eyes slightly and peeking up at Birvan.
"Air's one o' my alignments. Shadow's the other. I think I'm better with Shadow than Air, really." She said, tilting her head to one side and listening to the music.

"I'm Air and Water, also Light and Mind by inheritance"
"But I believe you're better with Air than you might think. Birt-types often are"

"Huh. Cool." Lenore said. Leaning forward a little, she cupped her hands over the snow, concentrating.
"C'mon..."
As she lifted her hands, a tiny whirlwind formed, whipping snow around crazily. Lenore grinned, pleased with herself.
"I can make stuff like little tornadoes. And when I fly, I can make breezes so I don't have to flap at all. It's really cool. But the stuff I can do with Shadow..." she trailed off, grinning wider. "I can make it solid, if I try hard enough. I gave my captain a dagger the other day. I think he still has it."

Birvan looked at Len's little spell with interest. It was far from perfect but she was still young. Maybe she just needed a little leap of imagination...
"Shadow magic is really fascinating, just like Light. It's easy to understand why you're trying harder on that one" he was just guessing, but something told him he wasn't far from the truth
"But Air magic has its own beauty. I bet you could make beautiful music with just your wings"
