Previously...
She frowned, "Would teaching me magic do anything to help?"
"... Maybe. They don't have their mystical amulets, so... they don't have any of their own magic... so, maybe..." He admitted, "We can start tomorrow. Near noon. You can bring Dipper along, too... and Ford. Ford probably knows a bit, from him, but... I'm not sure."
She nodded, getting up, "Okay..."
A FEW HOURS LATER...
"Are you okay, Stanford?" Aurora asked, looking at him through the bars of his cage.
Stanford smiled at her, "No, of course not, my love."
"Aurora... what are you doing down here?" He asked, walking towards them.
Aurora backed away, "Father, I was just..."
"Aurora, go back up stairs. Leave this cruel mortal man alone," He scowled.
Aurora nodded, running towards the elevator, "Yes, Father!"
"You are not going to harm anyone again," He growled.
Stanford smiled, "Aurora seems very much in love with me, so we'll see how this turns out."
"There will be an enchantment put on this room with all three of you in it, so that only me and Will can come in here," He grinned.
Stanford sighed, "I suppose you want the eggs back?"
"Yes, I want all thirty back. I'll be putting them in a containment and freeze them until they're needed," He admitted.
Stanford gulped, taking the bag of thirty eggs out of his coat jacket, before handing them over, "There you go."
"Thank you," He set them down on the table, snapping his fingers, making them freeze.
Stanford grinned, "Can you let us out now?"
"Never," He growled, walking away, taking the eggs with him, locking the door behind him.
Aurora frowned at him, "You're not going about this well..."
"Aurora, you barely know anything about them," He pointed out.
Aurora looked down, "Stanford's not that bad, you know..."
"Yeah, well, that's just what he wants you to think," He grumbled, walking away from her.
Aurora sighed, "Something about this is wrong, Father."
"Nothing about this is wrong, Aurora. You know this. They've made Will suffer for a long time. They deserve to pay for it," He growled.
Aurora nodded, "I understand, but...-" "-Aurora, Stop. You can't stop this. You know what they deserve, so stop. You shouldn't be going to their side. They deserve this. You know this... so why are you doing this?" He growled, interrupting her.
Aurora punched him.
