Harper looked at the sleeping bundle of what might be a computer-hybrid snuggled up on the bed next to her.

She wasn't sure how she was supposed to feel about this.

On one hand, she wanted to chuck the kid who-might-be-PAMA into a lake before it could do any more damage...

...but on the other hand, this PAMA... well he was only a kid. He looked like he wasn't any more than twelve. She couldn't do something like that to a kid.

Not to mention that this PAMA hadn't done anything wrong yet. In fact, upon exiting the cavern, tear stains all down his face from pretty much bawling his eyes out all over her robes, he'd run around trying to help the villagers and had even fought a zombie off (he'd tripped and Harper had had to smack it with her wrench to kill it).

He'd beamed whenever a townsperson had thanked him for helping (although they'd looked a bit confused at the sight of him), and cheered, "I was useful!" before running off to help the next one. Eventually, he'd started cheering, "I was helpful!" between the "I was useful" cheers. Harper had finally just left the kid alone and hoped she wasn't making a mistake in doing so.

Of course, he hadn't done anything (well, anything wrong, she meant), and was now ensnared in a bundle of blankets and humming as he breathed while asleep, fluffy waves of green hair dangling in his eyes. She had noticed that upon being alarmed of her presence, his hair had turned blood red, and his eyes had started reverting, but when he was crying or calm his hair and eyes were green. It was an interesting little quirk she'd noticed about the kid.

He turned over and rolled closer, and Harper had to quickly duck down from where she was perched in her chair and push a bit so that he wasn't falling off the bed.

"Mm... thanks... M... om," PAMA hummed, completely asleep, before rolling over the next way and humming again.

Harper froze a bit, eyes widening a little bit as she watched the little kid breathe steadily in his sleep, before her brain slowly became more capable of processing what was going on right now.

Had-

Had PAMA just called her...?

Her mouth finally twitched into a sad little smile as she stared at the little kid, eyes feeling suspiciously full.

Okay, she definitely wasn't sure how she was supposed to feel about this.

She just hoped that Jesse didn't mind having another brother.

Yes, that was a joke.

... sort of.

Maybe.

...

Darn it, Cassie, you just had to joke that Ivor and I were dating...

"Um, Ms. Ellegaard...?"

Ellegaard, who'd been checking one of her machines, jumped six feet into the air at the sudden voice and dropped her wrench on her foot. Biting back several swears, she looked up to see Nariko standing there and blinking at her.

"Ahh... h-hello," and Ellegaard winced before gingerly setting her foot back down. It didn't help that this was the foot she'd hurt from the Witherstorm whacking her into Olivia way back when; it still got injured a little too easily. Which got extremely inconvenient at times. "D-did you need something?"

"Ah, yes, actually, do you know any good books? Ebony is reading and I want to sit with her for a bit," Nariko said, rubbing her head, "but I don't know any good books..."

"Oh," and Ellegaard straightened back up, limping towards the doorway. "Yes, c'mon, this way-" she winced again as she accidentally put more weight than she was meaning to on her bad foot.

Something wrapped around her waist, and Ellegaard had a full second to contemplate what was happening before both feet left the ground and she yelped in surprise. She twisted in midair to see a black tentacle ensnared around her waist and a supremely surprised look playing on the Witherstorm hybrid's face.

"I- um- sorry," and she gently set the redstone engineer back on her feet, the black tentacle slithering back out of reach and snaking back out of sight on her back as she rubbed the back of her head sheepishly. "Do you need help getting to the library, or-?"

Ellegaard had regained her composure. "I- uh, no, I'm okay, thank you, though."

Nariko bowed slightly, a relieved expression on her face. "Okay then. I'm sorry about startling you."

"I-it's okay."

Ellegaard gave her head a discreet little shake as she headed towards the library.

She still didn't know how to feel about their two newest guests.

Steve and Alex were fine- actually, she liked them both; they seemed a bit like Jesse. Steve was actually like a funny mix of Jesse and Jace combined, and Alex was a combination of Jesse and Petra (except, you know, without wolf ears and spider arms and Blaze Rods).

But Ebony and Nariko...

Well...

Ebony was the reincarnation of the Ender Dragon. The Ender Dragon. The entity which had nearly killed them all- it was only Soren's quick reaction and slight 'cheating' that they were even still alive today. She didn't know what she would've expected from this dragon-hybrid; maybe a lower voice or maybe even a more violent behavior.

But besides the 'breathing fire' incident from earlier, Ebony was actually rather quiet. She seemed to really like reading, which Ellegaard would never have expected from the Ender Dragon hybrid, and she was kind and oddly serene.

So there was that.

Add in Nariko, the reincarnation of the Witherstorm, who had nearly killed everyone- forget just the Order, the Witherstorm had nearly destroyed the entire world in its process of eating up the whole world- who was quiet, and shy, and seemed extremely eager to please everyone- and Ellegaard felt like she was going to faint.

She hadn't expected this.

Opening the doors to the library, she gave the books a cursory glance, before grabbing a book of old fairy tales, the B.O.A. journal, and another book of Soren's, before pivoting rapidly and setting the books in Nariko's arms. "Here, these might be good."

"Oh... alright. Thank you, Ms. Ellegaard." And Nariko bowed politely, a smile appearing on her face, before she trotted over to the armchair Ebony was curled up in, the Ender Dragon hybrid waving a bit upon spotting the curly-black-haired girl, plopping into place beside her, and starting to read the B.O.A. journal, flipping through the pages until she reached the beginning.

Ellegaard gave her head another slow shake before slowly backing out of the library.

She really didn't know what to think about their two newest guests.

Somewhere behind her in the hallway, a pair of glowing white eyes blinked out of existence from where they'd been watching.

One.

A/N: One last filler.
