Song listened to: 'Home' by MGK ft X Ambassadors and Bebe Rexha

At the end of the day, when things got too much, she knew that she could return to the villa. They picked up on sullen mood just as soon as she stepped in the door, trying to think of something that could have turned their bright fledgling dull, but nothing came to mind.

It had been a warm day, they'd spent a majority of it in the Garden, playing games and snacking on the peaches she so loved to eat, despite the Healer's playful teasing.

She walked into their sitting room, where they lay lazily among the pillows and soft throws, chatting happily between one another. Their chatter falling silent as the fledgling sat silently next to her Choir Master and stared down at her hands. Sometimes one's day could just take a sudden turn, with nothing causing the affect, and it appeared that this was one of those times, and despite her sudden dour mood, she still giggled when her master poked her in the belly.

"What's got you in such a blue mood, rugrat?"

Akeelah smacked his hand away as he made to poke her again, and he raised his eyebrows in surprise and amusement, exchanging an amused look with his brothers.

"Where do I belong?"

They each raised an eyebrow at the question, from one so young, and exchanged another look. Gabriel tilted his head slightly to the side, quirking an eyebrow, as he took her in completely.

"Right here with us, nugget."

"I'm not a nugget."

"Oh yes you are, come'ere, we gotta turn that frown upside, you got a backwards smile there.", she yelped as he snagged her up, holding her up before the oldest archangel, Michael leaned over to peer at him from beside her and raised another eye brow, Gabriel gave him a mischievous grin, "Work your magic, big brother."

The Prince nodded seriously, taking the fledgling up into his own hands, holding her up above his head as he leaned back in the pillows behind him. They returned to their previous conversation, knowing that the elder had the problem handled for the moment, until he thought it time to pass her along to the next one. She whispered something down to him and he responded in kind with a sharp affirmative nod. Her giggling floated around them, bringing a light heartedness to their conversation, when the Prince played lightly with her sides, and then they stopped to watch them when her laughter rang out, as the Prince buried his face into her little belly. She pushed at his head, fingers curled deep in his hair, wiggling in his grip as he still held her up above his head, much stronger then he appeared to be, proving that looks could most certainly be deceiving.

He let up some minutes later, her face already reddened and eyes glistening like stars once more, and he whispered something up to her once more. She quickly shook her head, still giggling from the left-over nibbles, and crawled for the safety of her masters lap when she was finally set down.

The three of them turned expectantly to their older brother, "She did not know where her home was.", he smiled playfully at the giggly fledgling in his brothers arms, "I merely reaffirmed the fact that her home was here with us."

"Darn right it is!"
