Soren---Liena
Liena nearly fainted with relief when the Ralts was located. The prospect of facing an enraged Lucinda when she realized her son was gone was...scary as hell.
She dropped to her knees next to Mercy and peered under the bed.
The tiny Ralts had inched back and was glaring at them, a pout on his face.
He did not want to leave the safety of the place he'd found. Lara would just keep bugging him.
He calmly watched Mercy's hand grope around and then, noting something sparkling off to the side, quickly made his move.
The was a soft clank of metal as something hit the underside of the bed frame and the Gallade would soon find his wrist handcuffed to the bar's that supported the mattress above.
Yes, Soren had found a convienently placed pair of handcuffs under the bed.
Let's not go into detail as to why they are there or who they belong to.
(I'm sure it's quite obvious.)

  Mercutio---&--- LaraMercy just let out a depressed sigh and closed his eyes.
"He handcuffed me to the bed..." He explained to Liena rather non-chalantly.
Then, something occurred to him.
"If Lucinda has ever worn these, I'm killing Alfred," He added.
Lara just put her little hands over he mouth and giggled hysterically.
Uncle Mercy was funny~

Soren---Liena
Liena lifted a hand to her mouth to keep from giggling alongside Lara. Soren was...pretty bright for a baby.
"I'm sure she has. According to that Lucario at the Sun Guild he had quite the reputation. You know how some folks keep little black books? He had, like, a set of Encyclopedias..."
But on to the current business. Trying to find the keys to those handcuffs.
She peered under the bed again only to find Soren missing. Looking up she spotted him perched comfortably on a nearby chair, the shiny silver key in his tiny hands.
"Soren~ Let Auntie Liena have that key..."
The Ralts regarded her seriously as though considering it before eating the key.
The Gardevoir gave a cry of alarm and tried to stop him, but he had already swallowed it.
"...Mercy. We're gonna need to find a saw or something...Soren ate the key."

Mercutio---&--- LaraMercutio just remained where he was before facepalming.
"Liena... Honey... I can teleport..."
If she hadn't have gone after the key, Soren probably wouldn't have swallowed it.
Now they had to worry about metal in the poor kid's digestive system.
With a flash, Lara was sitting next to her brother, still giggling.
"Oh joy. Oh rapture. Now we have two kids under a bed, an adult handcuffed, and another adult who hardly thinks before she acts."
Yeah, Mercy's temper was starting to wither away.

Soren---Liena
Liena turned away sharply with a frown, "Well excuse me for panicking over your well-being. Next time I wont bother!"
Soren, annoyed his sister was pestering him again, gave a soft hiccup and the clatter of the key hitting the floor made Liena turn back around.
Ah, he hadnt swallowed it after all.
She picked it up and then spun around to throw it at Mercutio in annoyance.
"Sue me for caring!"
Her mood was not improving anytime soon, having just got out of a stressful day at work and then getting tricked into babysitting.

Mercutio---&--- LaraMercy closed his eyes as a mucus-covered key smacked into his forehead and stayed there.
Sighing, he carefully took the key and began to process of unlocking the handcuffs.
"Just simmer down. We're adults, we can handle this without losing our minds..."
With a click, the cuffs popped off.
With the cuffs in one hand and a slimy key in the other, Mercutio brought his arms out from under the bed.
"Besides, I think they're fine under there."
Lara burbled a little, moving closer to her brother so she was snuggling him.
She was definitely into the whole sibling bond more than Soren was.

Soren---Liena
Liena sniffled, inwardly swearing her revenge. An idea occurred to her that would warrant wonderful payback for Alfred's trickery and she finally smiled and gave a nod to Mercy's words.
Oh, that would be perfect.
"I suppose as long as they arent crying..." Crying children made her nervous.
"Well, now what do we do. Those two cant be gone for too long..."
She hoped that wherever the hell Lucinda and Alfred went they would not linger.
"We are going to get him back for this." The female Gardevoir said with a smirk. "He's going to wish he had asked properly instead of taking off like that when I'm through."
Soren would have groaned in annoyance had he been able to, but instead he put up with the snuggling in a grudging manner as though a prisoner awaiting his death sentence.

Mercutio---&--- LaraLara smiled and stuffed her hand in her mouth, idly watching her brother.
Not doing anything else, just watching.
Mercutio sighed and shrugged.
"Hey, you chose me. I'm stuck with these kids either way," He explained.
Mercy was their uncle by blood, whereas Liena wasn't even really their aunt, not even by marriage.
Huh... Marriage...
Mercy pondered the thought for a few moments.
And then his mouth had a derp.
"Wanna get married?"

Soren---Liena
Liena stared at him and waited, clearly she was expecting a follow up to that sentence such as 'just kidding'.
"Not particularly." She finally responded arms folded. "Not right now anyways. Mercy, we've only been dating for a few months...and your timing is awful. I'm clearly in a bad mood and busy plotting you brother-in-law's slow and painful death..."
Contrary to popular belief females did not enjoy being proposed to when they were in bad moods. It didnt make them feel better, if anything it came across as 'please marry me so you'll stop bitching'.
She allowed a small smile to slip out though.
"And of course I chose you, or else I wouldnt be here now would I?"
Soren, finally hitting the climax of annoyance, turned and gave his sister a solid shove in the shoulder to make her quit starring at him.

Mercutio---&--- LaraMercutio shrugged a bit.
"Yeah, whatever. I wasn't proposing, really. Just wanting to see if you did want to eventually get married."
Mercy really didn't know the first thing about marriage, but if Liena eventually wanted it, he'd do some research.
As a result of the shove, Lara flopped right over.
Her head barely tapped the floor, but it was enough to make her burst out into tiny squeals of pain and anguish.
"Well, never mind getting married, ever. I'm dead."

Alfred---Soren---Liena
The female Gardevoir dropped to her knees and before Soren could move she had grabbed him by the back of his neck and pulled him from under the bed to hand over to Mercutio.
"That is a no-no! We do not hit!" She scolded, wagging a finger in his face before dropping back down to reach for Lara and scoop her up.
"It's okay, sweety! Dont cry!"
She rocked the female Ralts as the male watched them both with a distinct pout.
Well, if Lara had stopped bugging him that wouldnt have happened.
"D-dont worry, Mercy. She's fine. I'm sure no one will-""What happened?!"
The sharp snap of a teleport sounded though no one appeared immediately and then finally Alfred's voice rang out again.
"...I teleported in the closet again."
The statement was an obvious observation.
Liena rolled her eyes wondering when Lucinda would appear and if Lara would calm down beforehand.
Oh please, please, please stop crying.

 Mercutio---&--- Lucinda---&--- LaraOf course, within a matter of seconds, the black-dressed female Gardevoir had swept into the room and grabbed her daughter, holding her gently.
"Shhhh, it's okay, sweety. Mommy's here..." Cindy cooed lovingly to her daughter.
Those green eyes then darted and glared at Mercutio.
"What did you do?!" She hissed.
"I didn't do anything," The Gallade retorted.
"Your son simply likes to play rough."

Alfred---Soren---Liena
"Still in the closet. Just FYI."
Liena nodded along with Mercy. "Apparently Soren doesnt like cuddling as much as his sister. She's fine, I think she just got her feelings hurt."
"When did we get crossbow?"
Soren shook his head, white bangs swishing over both green eyes. The small Ralts didnt seem to regret anything he'd done.
"...why is there a crossbow in the closet anyways?"
The female Gardevoir turned to take the black Ralts from his Uncle's arms.
"That was a mean thing to do Soren. Are you sorry?" The question was phrased so he could nod or shake his head, but he did neither and simply starred at her. It was very unnerving.
A sudden swish and then thunk of something embradding itself in the wall sounded in the closet.
"Hey, it works!"

Mercutio---&--- Lucinda---&--- LaraLucinda frowned, looking at the little boy.
This was when it became obvious that she was into tough parenting if the situation required.
She reached down, grabbing Soren by one of his horns and picked him up so that she was at eye-level with him.
"No being mean to your sister. Got that? Blue means yes, red means no."
She was beginning to understand Soren's way of communicating via colors, so she could request colors for answers.
Mercutio, meanwhile, had slipped away so he could help Alfred out of the closet.
He opened the door, looking inside.
"I think everything's under cont-Where did you get that thing, anyway?"

Alfred---Soren---Liena
Soren frowned, the faintest trace of red sparked in his mind but he paused and reconsidered his standing before allow the colors to shift into a muted blue.
Slight traces of tears brimmed his eyes and his frown deepened but he didnt cry or make a sound.
Alfred lifted his head, having been attempting to load another arrow into the crossbow when the door opened. The door had the other arrow embedded in it.
"I'm not sure, but I'm keeping it..."
An almost childish smile spread across his face and he grabbed the Gallade by the arm.
"Let's go shoot stuff!"
Liena frowned at the two males and leaned over to Lucinda. "Is Alfred okay? He's acting kinda...strange."
Stupid was more like it, but only a fool would insult someones husband to their face...especially when they were capable of hurting you like Lucinda was.
