Chapter One

Raenef's thoughts kept straying away from the subject at hand. Eclipse was trying to teach him some new spell of some sort, but the young demon lord's mind kept insisting on fleeing, leaving him with his daydreams. The daydreams that occupied his mind right now were quite pleasant; it involved Eclipse lots of heartfelt emotions…along with some quite nice sensations. Just as the dream was getting really good, the object of Rae's affection strayed into his field of vision. The demon lord stared a moment, not quite realising the dream had ended, and then suddenly leapt backwards, resulting in him falling off the chair he occupied. He hit the ground with a thud,

"Master Raenef?!" Asked Eclipse, offering him a hand, his face a mixture of resignation and concern over his master's actions. Raenef blushed brightly, due to his earlier daydreams, "I'm ok, erm," he tried to think of a way of apologising without saying sorry and failed. He gave Eclipse a weak smile and let himself be pulled to his feet. Meanwhile the demon's own thoughts had strayed. Raenef was sprawled on the floor, his hair wild around his delicate face and large liquid eyes, his mouth parted slightly in his embarrassment. As the boy was tugged energetically forward, he came scarily close to his tutor and swayed blearily, grabbing onto his robes as he gained his balance. Eclipse knew he should say something like "Demon lords do not fall of chairs, allow themselves to be helped up, or stagger about afterwards…" But somehow the words wouldn't come out and all he could think about was how totally cute Rae looked as his blonde hair fell in disarray, the sun that shone in through the window dappling his pale features. A moment later he realised the eyes he had been so recently admiring were staring at him with a mixture of hesitation and puzzlement. He opened his mouth before realising he didn't know what the hell he was supposed to be saying,

"Yes." He said hopefully, in a confidant tone of voice that he hoped said 'I was listening!'. Rae looked even more surprised at his tutor, but shook his head, his pale hair flying around his face even more. He turned to grin hugely at Eclipse, a movement that made Eclipse want to swoon with pleasure, and flung his arms around his tutor's waist,

"Thank you Eclipse, thank you so much!" He then turned and whirled away, running down the room at the same time he shouted 'Go' and disappearing with a blur. Eclipse stared after him, his arm still slightly raised in reaction to Rae's hug. He wondered feebly what he had just agreed to and hoped it wasn't too awful. He turned blearily onto the balcony, leaning on the railing deep in thought.

Raenef appeared in the kitchen with a jolt and stepped backwards horridly from the menacingly advancing knight. Erutis stopped and stared,

"Rae I wish you wouldn't do that, I nearly hit you instead of Chris!" Rae turned round and came face to face with the young cleric, who grinned nervously, backed into a corner.

"I said she wasn't as strong because she was a girl!" He protested at Raenef's enquiring look. Rae turned in disbelief on the female knight, who was defiantly as strong as any man woman or demon and fully fixed on proving this fact to the cowering cleric. Rae thought for a second, and stepped quickly out the way.

"I've only come for a snack, Eclipse said I could have the rest of the afternoon off!" He grinned emphatically at this stroke of good fortune and both humans looked surprised

"He let you skip lessons?!" Chris gaped, disbelief in his every word. Rae nodded enthusiastically,

"Yep!" Erutis blinked in wonder,

"Why?" Rae just smiled as he sauntered over to a cupboard in his search for snacks,

"I don't know, cos he's nice!" Chris snorted at this and Erutis made some comment under her breath, which thankfully Rae didn't hear. "Have we still got some marshmallows?" The demon lord's voice floated over from one side of the room, Erutis turned round to see and Chris yelled,

"Nope! Erutis the fat pig ate them all last night after training!" Rae looked sad and Erutis hurriedly explained,

"No no, there's still some left, try that cupboard over there!" She pointed, and then turned to advance upon the cleric again, "Anyway, there's only one fat pig in here and he is going to get a beating! Not as strong! Huh, I'll show you not as strong!" She glared at the cleric as she advanced, and Rae turned, his bag of marshmallows clutched in one hand, to hurriedly leave the room,

"Hey Eru, do you still want to go see your family tomorrow?" He asked, in reference to a question the knight had asked earlier. She went to see her family one every couple of months to see how they were doing and talk over things. Eru turned away from her cleric-scaring to nod,

"Yeh if that's ok! Oh and Rae, did you know it was bonfire night tonight?" Rae turned to grin fully at her,

"Really?" Eru smiled at his excitement and nodded,

"Mhm, sure. I'm surprised Eclipse didn't tell you anything about it, I thought the excuse to set things alight would be a welcome break for demons?" Rae pondered this, not at all aware of the sarcasm in the girls voice.

"Yeh I guess…maybe he forgot?" He offered, evident by his voice that his thoughts had already strayed from the puzzle, "It would be nice to celebrate don't you think? Hey come help me plan!" Erutis, already caught up in the imaginings of the bonfire night nodded,

"Ok!" They turned away from the cleric, and as the demon lord grasped the girls sleeve and muttered Go, they disappeared. Chris waited a moment, before letting out his held breath in a gasp.

"Sweet Rased oh you are merciful!" He whispered fervently, and wandered over to see if Rae had left any of the marshmallows.

Eclipse looked up from the book he was studying with a start, as the voices of Raenef and Erutis echoed excitedly round the library.

"Yes yes, and if you take me down to the woods near here I can get some big logs as well and we can have a bonfire!" There was a stifled murmur of agreement from Raenef, and wondering what they were planning Eclipse edged behind a bookshelf as they rounded the corner, slumping down in the chairs round the elegant gothic table in the centre of the room.

"an ee an aaf um arsawwows oo?" Questioned Raenef, and Eclipse shook his head at the permanently eating demon lord. Erutis largely ignored him,

"Yes, we can set it in the centre of the courtyard so we can see it from the balconies too, and hey we can toast marshmallows too!" She grabbed the bag off Raenef, who moaned in protest; he finally swallowed his mouthful,

"That's what I said!" He complained, making a grab for the bag, which was whisked out his reach,

"No you didn't." The knight told him, absentmindedly dodging his uncoordinated attempts to snatch the bag of marshmallows.

"Yes I did!" He wailed piteously, lunging across the table for the bag,

"You didn't now stop arguing. The bonfire is good, but we need some fireworks or something!" Eclipse muttered curses under his breath at the knight, oh if she had treated any other demon lord in such an ignorant, commanding, disrespectful, argumentative, the insults kept coming to mind, but he managed to extinguish the fireball in his hand to hear what Raenef was saying.

"Fireworks? I've never seen real fireworks. The guild had some little bomb thingies that went bang and coloured smoke came out, but they all talked about all the posh elegant stuff the rich people would have…" His voice trailed off, probably imagining the 'posh elegant stuff' thought Eclipse fondly, and then caught himself in time to chase the smile away that was twisting his mouth.

"Never? I haven't seen many, but ive seen some! You really haven't seen any?" Erutis' voice was disbelieving for a moment, and Eclipse decided he had heard all he wanted. With a whisper he dematerialised. Raenef looked up quickly,

"Eclipse?" He enquired, a moment too late; Erutis whirled round to stare at the door,

"Where?!" She gasped, hoping he wasn't here to spoil their preparations. The older demon really got to her, although of course she wouldn't say so in front of Rae, it was obvious the boy worshipped his tutor. Raenef shook his head,

"No, I just thought for a moment…no…" He trailed off, and Erutis shrugged, maybe it was wishful thinking for the boy. She grinned evilly to herself, and then turned back,

"Hey Rae, what about if I get some firebrands and…"

Eclipse re-appeared in the kitchen, head bent deep in thought, he looked up. So did Chris, although where the demons look was curious, Chris' was guilty. The cleric tried to smile sweetly although it just twisted his already distended mouth. He gulped hurriedly, and some of the food he was stuffing in his mouth disappeared.

"Whaaat?" He sulked at Eclipse's expression of disgust, "I was hungry!" Eclipse sighed loudly, no wonder they were going over budget, and one boy ate enough to feed a whole army!

"Just get lost will you, go pray or something!" He snapped, and Chris glared after him as he all but ran from the kitchen. Eclipse thought for a moment, then bent down to rummage in one of the cupboards.

"If I can just get some properly reactive chemicals and some propulsion, I should be able to do some quite decent fireworks," he chuckled, "and if Master Raenef hasn't seen any, he wont be able to tell if they go too wrong….Hmmm….I don't think washing up liquid would work, maybe I should go order some from somewhere….yes…I think the West owe me a debt I could ask for, yes, fireworks…." He mused absently to himself, rummaging deeply behind a box of cleaning liquids. For some reason he really wanted to please the young demon lord, and the fireworks presented the perfect opportunity. He could get some simple but pretty ones maybe, surely Raenef would be impressed? If only he could get rid of those pesky humans though, then he would have Raenef all to himself….The demon stopped those thoughts, Why do I want him all to myself anyway? I mean, what difference does it make? What am I going to do to him on his own? The perverse part of his mind, which was really starting to convince Eclipse it wasn't really him but some other person speaking in his thoughts, suggested quite a few possible options, and even more impossible ones. Eclipse winced, the thoughts were improper! Ahhhh, said the little voice but if I'm not you, then you're not thinking anything improper at all, because I am someone else! Eclipse thought briefly that this was a valid point, and considered with his musings. So I ask in a favour from the king, now how to get rid of the humans….You could always just set them on fire and say it was an accident? Offered the little voice. Good idea I guess, but Rae would be devastated, he really is too attached to those humans! And if he ever found out I did it he would be really hurt! Rae? What happened to 'master' hm? And of course you don't want 'Rae' angry with you now do you? No, of course I don't. He would get over it, and you would be human free…? But….Eclipse couldn't think of a good enough reason that didn't involve confessing he actually cared deeply about the demon lord's opinion of him. If I hurt him he might stop trusting me and then it would be a lot harder to teach him. No it wouldn't, since when did demons trust anyway? Yes but, erm…i….Haha I know what it is, your sweet on him and just because of that you want him to trust you! Its all because of what that prophetess said, given you high hopes of sweet true love! Eclipse glared at his not-my-inner voice. It is not. I'm not sweet on him either, I just….don't want to hurt him! I know demons don't trust, but he is so innocent and naïve, like he's seeing the world for the first time….If inner voices could cackle knowingly, Eclipse's did. Your sweet on him and you know it! Oh look what the brave, mighty, fearsome demon has been reduced to! Your just a big pile of mush because your 'lord' looked at you with a smile on his pretty face! Seeing the world for the first time? DUH, demon lord we are talking about here! How is he going to scare his enemies, swoon over them or something? You must admit he is powerful, you know it. And he can do more than just swoon!  He doesn't swoon anyway. No he just gives you calf eyed looks, and its you that does all the swooning. I do not 'swoon', I am a demon! Haha, yes, one that swoons every time his master so much as smiles. Look at you - you're a mess! I am not a mess, im perfectly in control of my emotions! If I wanted to I could just nuke those humans or stop caring about Rae, I just don't want to yet! Aha! So you admit you care about him then? Well…oh yes all right I care about him, so what have you proven? He is the next demon lord you know, I don't want him to get hurt or injured, he needs all the help I can give him! Oh come on, I am your inner voice here, I know what you think of every time he smiles, every time his hand brushes your robe, every time he hugs you, or looks at you sideways when he thinks your not looking! I do not think anything when he does all that! That's true enough! Will you just shut up, I cant believe I'm arguing with the voice in my head!

"Eclipse?" From the boys tone the demon gathered he had said it more than once,

"What?" He snapped embarrassed, and then immediately regretted it at the hurt look that flooded the demon lord's face.

" I - just - I - HOW DARE YOU ADMONISH ME, VERMIN!" he squeaked, in an offended tone of voice. Eclipse sighed, that phrase was really annoying him now.

"Look, Rae, what was it you wanted?" He reached out to tilt the lord's head up, revealing a saddened face.

"I…just Eru said about bonfire, and erm that its bonfire night tonight and she said, I mean I suggested a bonfire and I wondered, erm, if, we could have a bonfire?" From the look on his face, Rae expected the demon to say no. Eclipse felt immediately guilty,

"I know, I know, of course you can have a bonfire!" Rae brightened immediately, then looked puzzled,

"How come you know? Did you hear us..? Or, oooh, did we disturb you?" Rae looked guilty and Eclipse briefly wondered what disturbing things they had got up to after he had left, he shook his head, causing his sleek black bangs to sway,

"No, I meant about bonfire night. Yes, yes, a bonfire is fine." Now all I need to work out is how to get rid of those stupid humans without causing a scene…Eclipse wondered, before being shaken out of his thoughts by Raenef flinging himself at him yet again,

"Really? Oh Eclipse thank you so much! Your being so nice today, I will make up for it tomorrow I promise! Thank you!" He buried his blonde head against Eclipse's chest, and Eclipse felt like he was going to swoon; he brought his arms around Rae cautiously, and ignored the inner voice again Haha here he goes again, Oooooooh Rae how I love you! I go all kittenish in your grasp! Oh look he's just so close, if you kissed him now he probably wouldn't pull away! Eclipse made a serious effort not to obey the voice, and just settled for resting his head on his lord's, inhaling the smell of spring and cinnamon that was Raenef. Just then, Erutis slammed the kitchen door open and stopped immediately,

"Oh sorry, erm, am I interrupting something?" She looked slightly embarrassed and even more scared. Eclipse's vicious glare said that 'yes she was interrupting something and if she leaves right now she might just get a quicker death than before…'. Rae though, turned round and grinned brightly,

"Oh Erutis, Eclipse agreed to the bonfire, I'll take you down to the forest and we can find some logs!" don't leave noooo come back thought Eclipse as Raenef skipped off towards Erutis, leaving the air cold around the demon.

"Hey Eclipse, I'll be back before it gets dark…" he paused and looked slightly worried, "I don't like the dark." Eclipse couldn't decide him to hug him for his intolerable cuteness or chide him for fearing the dark.

"Don't worry Rae, I'll look after you!" Chirruped the female knight, who Eclipse really wanted to squash right then, and grabbed Rae's arm. Any other demon and she would be reduced to mere ashes by now! Oh look, he's obeying her!

"Go." Ordered Rae, and the two blurred and were gone. Eclipse stared after them for a few moments, and then sighed, turning abruptly out the door, his long black cloak swirling dramatically behind him. He still had to work out a plan to get rid of the knight, but he had just had a really good idea about the priest…

Chris was sat in the library, looking for a book on 'How to vanquish the fourth highest ranking demon and then persuade his lord to join the forces of good'. He hadn't found one yet. Eclipse arrived with a flash, (even demons are prone to dramatics sometimes) which made Chris jump and drop the book he was poring through.

"Eclipse! Ah, dreaded demon, what do you want from this place?" Eclipse levelled a flat stare at him, and the boy recoiled.

"Its my lord's library, what does it matter to you what I want?" Chris glared at him from lowered eyes, and shuffled along the table to make a space for Eclipse, who glanced at the book the boy was clutching again. Eclipse raised an eyebrow,

"Ahem, 'sex magic for beginners'?" He enquired, and the boy looked terrified, staring at the book in horror,

"That's what it's called?" His voice shook and his face had blanched. Eclipse couldn't help it; he burst out laughing. Chris looked even more terrified.

"Its foreign, that's why you couldn't read it, what in the seven hells did you think you were reading?!" Gasped the demon, the priest went a neon shade of fuchsia.

"I - It - I - I was having trouble with the translations…." He abandoned all hope of dignity, "I couldn't understand a word ok, but the positions illustrated looked like…" He trailed off in shock over what he had been about to reveal, if Eclipse knew he was going to be attacked soon he might do some thing to defend himself! He was distracted by the demon's laughter again though, and after assessing his last sentence went, if possible, even brighter red.

"The positions? What were you planning, priest?" Eclipse levelled a mocking stare at the boy, trying to stop laughing. Since Rae had come he kept smiling and laughing all the time, he hardly ever smiled never mind laughed, and here he was in hysterics over a bumbling priest!

"I wasn't planning anything you sick demon, I didn't know what it was! The illustrations just looked…" He trailed off in abject bright red misery.

"Maybe you should let me help you next time huh?" Chris's eyes nearly popped out his head, his embarrassment almost forgotten,

"You want to help me, you evil sick twisted demon? You think I would accept help from you?" Eclipse raised an eyebrow, and stared at the boy until he looked away,

"Well, I just want to cause you less embarrassment so next time you might not have to hang around when I want to study quietly, trust me, I do it for totally selfish evil reasons all of my own devising so I can work on my evil plans." Eclipse wondered if he had gone too far, but the priest was lapping it up eagerly,

"I knew it! You do have evil plans, yes you would want me out the way, but I will not subject to your demands!" Eclipse sighed again,

"Well, if you don't leave I might have to get Erutis in to help you study then," He hoped the priest didn't know Erutis was currently out hacking trees. "And you know, that book you have pulled out over there for future reference…well I don't think you want to know what that is all about really…" He trailed off dubiously, and raised an eyebrow. The book wasn't about anything bad at all, simply a book on basic dark magic, even Raenef had been studying it recently, but it was written in the same language as the book on sex magic and Eclipse bargained that Chris hadn't looked at it now. Chris turned slowly to stare at the book pulled out on the far shelf, and blanched before the colour returned yet again.

"Worse?" He enquired, his voice small, Eclipse nodded, giving his darkest look,

"Much much worse. There are some illustrations in there that really go into great detail, for example-" Chris shouted over Eclipse's steady voice,

"Alright alright! Don't say an example, please, I don't want to know!" Eclipse couldn't help chuckling this time. "Look, if you could just direct me to a dictionary on the language, then I would really appreciate it…" His voice was strained, and Eclipse could tell he hated the words even before he spoke them. He glared defiantly at Eclipse as if daring him to mock. You fell right into it, my dear priest, thought Eclipse joyously,

"I guess if that is what I must do to get you out my way." He walked over to a shelf and pulled out a rough guide to a totally different language, which did have some similar words but completely different meanings.  "This is a dictionary for the language most of the books are written on, and oh here, this should amuse you for a while. It is various types of magic in it in great detail. Further on there is some powerful combatant magic, and some white magic shields and such like, although I'm sure you wont need them." Oh hell if he falls for this he is sooo simple minded…rejoiced Eclipse, Chris's face lit up like a lamp,

"Really? Oh thank you, I mean no, of course I wont need those spells!" He laughed triumphantly and made a grab for the books, then turned to scurry out.

"The west wing is free by the way, there is a large study there that will be free all night!"  Chris turned and nodded repeatedly, ending up looking like a nodding dog and virtually ran towards the west wing. Eclipse allowed himself a small triumphant smile. That was just too easy. I can't believe it worked. Oh well, he will be busy well into the night, one down one to go….

"Go" Muttered Raenef, and materialised in the foyer of the castle. He then groaned and dumped the logs he carried on the floor, scattering forest debris. Erutis, who held a total of three huge logs, squatted to drop hers carefully onto the floor, she gasped and grinned.

"That should be enough, along with all those branches you've got," Sure enough both of them had packs lashed to their backs, many branches sticking up from the tops. Most of Rae's were tall enough to get tangled in his hair, and the flaxen strands were wound messily in a tangle around the wood. He also had leaves and dirt in his hair, along with a smudge of mud down one side of his face. He smiled eagerly,

"It will be enough?" Eru nodded,

"Yep, it wont be huge, but it will be pretty big!" Rae grinned,

"A great celebration before you leave to visit your family too, so you can remember us! It will be so fun!"  Just then Eclipse emerged from one of the doors on the floor above, and peered down over the stairs at the two bedraggled forms,

"Raenef?" he all but yelped, upon seeing the bedraggled state of his master, Raenef looked up,

"Eclipse! We have five big logs and loadsa branches, we're gonna have a massive bonfire we really are!" He grinned and jumped about in excitement, Eclipse watched him intently as he bounded downstairs to greet Rae; oh he looked so absolutely adorable! Haha, don't swoon now will you otherwise you will fall down the stairs! I am not swooning! And I wont fall downstairs… Thought Eclipse, embarrassed.

"Really? Five whole logs?" The amount, thought Eclipse, was pitiful for a proper demon bonfire; something would have to be done. Rae didn't notice the sarcasm though, and nodded enthusiastically, running towards Eclipse as he reached the bottom of the stairs. He looked up at the darker demon, his face alight with happiness.

"Mhm, and we've got all these branches too!" Eclipse glanced at the branches and noticed again how totally messy his lord looked. He reached out to brush his hair flatter again, and lifted his pack off his shoulders,

"A demon lord does not carry packs of branches around…" He muttered, almost automatically, and Raenef recoiled instantly, his happiness dripping off his face, he shrugged quickly out of it,

"I just wanted to help Eru carry stuff, otherwise we would have had to go back!" Raenef looked sad, and Eclipse mentally chided himself for spoiling the boy's happiness.

"No, no, its ok I guess, you've got a leaf in your hair…" He commented, Rae smiled gladly, his mood changes faster than the speed of light and shook his head violently. Eclipse leant over to pick the still remaining leaves out of his hair, along with various twigs and what had to be half the forest tree-shavings. Rae stayed motionless as his teacher gently teased his hair into some semblance of order and the calm expression seemed he was actually enjoying it. I should stop, his hair is tree free and as neat as I can make it…although I must remember he likes having his hair stroked…Why do you need to remember that, hmm? So you can make him feel nice? Eclipse didn't answer his inner voice, and tried to ignore it without success. Finally giving up petting, Eclipse registered what had been said earlier,

"Erutis is going somewhere?" he enquired, and Rae nodded energetically,

"Yep, shes going to see her family tomorrow, I said I would take her!" Eclipse pondered this for a moment, and then suddenly had an idea,

"Tomorrow?" He enquired, a trap in his voice. Rae noticed his tone,

"Yes…" Eclipse had to be proud of him for the touch of determination in his voice.

"But Raenef I thought you said you would practice spells tomorrow? If we are to make up for today we will need all day, starting at dawn, you will have no time to take Erutis anywhere!" Eclipse felt so guilty at the look on his masters face that he nearly took the words right back, I know I just made him feel really bad, and i'm using his guilt against him but it will be worth it! What, just so you get him all to yourself? With a start Eclipse realised that this was exactly what he was doing, Rae would probably think it a very boring evening, fireworks or no!

"Oh Eclipse! I forgot! But I promised Eru I would take her tomorrow, I could take her the day after?" Eclipse felt like hugging the boy, but refrained, surely he couldn't take his words back now?

"I tell you what, I will take her down tonight just after the bonfire?" Raenef smiled in thanks and threw his arms around his mentor's waist for the third time that day, Eclipse enjoyed it immensely.

"Would you? Thank you Eclipse! I will get up right at dawn tomorrow I promise, and I will work really hard! Thank you!" Your just being selfish now chided his inner voice, and Eclipse replied Yes, so? Rae thinks I'm being nice to him…I am a demon you know! There was no reply, and Eclipse smiled inwardly that he expected a response from his inner voice.

"Erm, Rae? You gonna help me set this thing up?" She gestured at the logs and branches, staring intently past Eclipse's shoulder, the demon thought she probably had assumptions on his feelings for Rae and didn't like it. The assumptions are true though, aren't they? How do you know, you don't even know what they are. That you are in love with him. I…am I? Do demons fall in love? No. That's the whole point, for a demon to love his lord and think such things…. It is not what demons do. It is what this demon does, and I….I want….You want the love returned? Do I? Yes…I guess. He hugged the boy closer for a moment, startling him, then let him go,

"When your all set up, call me and I will help with the final touches!" He allowed himself an evil grin, which Erutis stared at and Raenef grinned widely.

Raenef watched, as Eclipse turned away, and stared at the spot long after the demon had de-materialised. He remembered briefly the feel of Eclipse's arms tight around him, and the coolness of his skin through his robe. He had enjoyed the feeling, he realised, but then since when was that a surprise? He had been finding excuses to touch his mentor a lot lately, and was sure the older demon had noticed, who couldn't? Erutis certainly had. But he wasn't going to deny it, well not to himself anyway. He loved the demon as he hadn't loved anyone before, and he loved the feeling he got every time he was around. When he saw Eclipse, he got a jolt at the demon's beauty, and his heart beat a little bit faster. When he touched him, it was like a spark between them and the lord couldn't quite catch his breath, and his thoughts were permanently straying to thoughts of Eclipse! To quote Erutis, he 'had it bad'. He smiled, at least she would be away tonight, although he didn't know why he was happy about that. Even if he didn't get Eclipse on his own, what was he going to say - Eclipse I love you? He laughed at the thought of it, and then winced as he thought about the demons reaction. No, he would rather he never knew than tell the demon and realise the love was not returned. At least when he never knew, he could still dream. He smiled again, eyes dreamy,

"Rae, stop making calf eyes and come help me set up this bonfire!" Raenef blushed, no matter how much he denied it to Erutis she refused to believe it, but had promised not to tell anyone anyway. The young demon lord grinned, and bounded over to help set up the bonfire.

Daine: Yey I've finished!

Eclipse: Oh great, you made me into a mush ball!

Rae: And I'm a total weirdo, how many times did you use the verb bouncing for me? I'm not that strange!

Eclipse: You do…. seem quite energetic at times

Raenef: I do?

Eclipse: A little…it isn't bad though!

Daine: Oh here goes, I'm going, have fun!
