So…I’ve been living here for a little bit, though I don’t really understand the majority of what’s going on..
I guess I’m part of the mythological world, in a sense, my brother- actually, a couple of my siblings have demigod kids. And I sort of live with my brother, somewhat.. though that’s temporary. I’m really just here to check up on my siblings.
Noah Jordan
That’s my name, don’t wear it out… I guess, talk to me, if you want— and here’s some stuff about me
How old are you?
I’m 29.
Are you a demigod/legacy?
No?
How many siblings do you have again?
A few half siblings, a few full ones.. what’s it to you?
Your pronouns?
He/him I suppose
What are your most used weapons?
I don’t really do fighting..
Who are your bio parents?
Severus Jordan and Gemma Davis
What’s your job?
An architect, really.
——
now.. the people I know.
People I know
My family:
My mother by blood, she’s sweet: @theirkindlymother
She may live far away, but.. she’s still really sweet, she’s great.
My other mom, just as sweet as the other: @just-missing-her-babies
She’s Luna’s mom, technically, but, we’ve all basically dragged Luna’s family into ours- they’re great people
Older sister who might kick my ass: @eldestofthefour-saynomore
She’s really been like a parent, throughout my whole life. At least in the last years she’s been able to chill more while we all sort of just.. well, we’ve felt mostly better.
Older brother who went missing for 16 years: @hasfuckedagod-willfuckoneup
I’m still barely over the fact that he’s not dead, I’ll be so deadass about that.
I’ll be honest, she can kick my ass easy: @nonliteralspitfire
She’s one of the youngest amongst us- but she really is fun to be around. Shes only like three years younger than me, but she’ll probably kick my ass
We’ve pretty much adopted her: @stoppedtosmellthewine
I really REALLY wish stuff wasn’t happening so much with her in the others..
Sheltered child: @the-sister-he-didnt-knowabout
She doesn’t visit often, usually clinging to mom and such.. I hope she gets out more. She seems like she has separation anxiety or something.
My brothers kids???: (gods there’s a lot..)
First niece!: @onlymythologypersonincamp
I haven’t seen her since she was first born, I should probably talk more to her and the others..
I found her half dead: @tredlightly-throughthebroken
She’s doing a lot better than when k first found her.. that’s good, at least.
Kid who appeared in my house: @fightingthetoxicallegations
I only met him once, back before I knew about Lucas and stuff.. gods, that was weird.
OTHER kid who appeared in my house: @another-argo
Honestly I don’t know the kid but I think he lives here so like…
I have no idea:
Married to my brother, probably wants me dead: @the-great-emperor-commodus
I’m honestly surprised he hasn’t murdered me in my sleep yet.

At some point in the car ride, Aurelia had fallen asleep. When she had, they weren’t actually far from home, it was simply just the normal ride, perhaps the lull of both the car, and the familiar landscape, is what cause her to drowse off… but it certainly wasn’t a familiar situation here. Gemma looked at the large building as she slowed to a stop, and parked in the parking lot. The brown haired woman looked over at her youngest daughter, and gently nudged her, “Aurelia, we’re here..”
Which certainly couldn’t be right.. they were in a whole other continent, and this definitely wasn’t the airport. Yet they were here, huh.
[[ Somewhat context ]]
Aurelia slowly sat up and opened her eyes. She froze. “…this isn’t the airport-“ Aurelia slowly looked to Gemma. “…momma how did we get here?” She questioned. Aurelia look at the time and mentally calculated that it had been 30 minutes since she fell asleep. “..it’s only been 30 minutes” Aurelia looked so confused
“No, it’s not the airport,” She continued, gently smiling at the younger woman. She adjusted the coverup that had slid slightly down her shoulders, unbuckling her seatbelt and glancing to Aurelia, “We simply drove, not much to it. Now, we’ll probably meet Noah inside, unless you want to wait in the car.”
The weasel that comfortably laid in a sunny part of the car, wriggled a bit as if shaking off the sleepiness, nudging at Gemma’s hand softly with its snout. The woman smiled softly as she gently pet the creature. Alway an oddly domesticated creature, this one is.
“..no no..I wanna come with..” Aurelia said quietly. She slowly unbuckled her seatbelt. Yeah Aurelia was definitely going to started flipping her lid when she was fully away. Aurelia slowly got out of the car. She saw a harpie flying nearby. She screamed and quickly got back in the car “WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT” Aurelia yelled. Poor gal was frightened
“A harpy, most likely. I’ve been told they work here.” Gemma remarked, as if it was the most known statement ever, as if it was a normal thing to say. Gemma’s hand gently trailed along the moon-cycle pendents on the choked-like necklace she had on, the small fluffy creature just hopped into one of the pockets the woman had in her jacket. “Come now, they won’t do you any harm.”
Aurelia slowly got out of the car and shut the door. She rushed to her mother’s side of the car and waited. Her hand went to her pocket and started to rub the wooden doll in it. “..holy moly this place is huge!” Aurelia stared up at the palace infront of her.
Gemma smiled and softly wrapped an arm around her daughter as she led them inside, oddly enough it’s.. like the harpies either couldn’t see them, or didn’t care. She gave a soft hum as she spoke, “It is. I’ve never been here in person, but.. I’ve heard a bit about it from the others. It seems like it’s a welcoming enough place for them to be.”
As they got to the doo, the older woman turned to her daughter, “Now, we’ll most likely have to see if we can find Noah when we’re inside.. or call him. I doubt he expects us this early.”
“I can Text him momma” Aurelia said as she pulled her phone out and texted Noah ‘we are here’. Aurelia slipped her phone back into her pocket. Aurelia grabbed her mother’s hand tightly.
Gemma gave a small nod, “Thank you, sweetheart.” And with that, the woman gently knocked on the door. After a moment of silence, she opened it and walked inside— she knew family lived here, it’s not like she was walking into a strangers home.
Aurelia gripped her mothers hand tightly. She practically hid being the older woman. Aurelia looked around the home. At least what she could see from the home.
The older woman walked with a confidence one would not expect in this situation- this woman was going to see her babies, and you would be damned to think she’d falter in the face of some monsters that were working under her son in law. Peri was napping nearby and did a biiiigggg stretch as they looked over at the two females in a bit of confusion. But, they just rolled back into a circle and took a nap, it wasn’t his problem.
Gemma made her way to the stairs, the click of her heels echoing slightly against the floor, albeit softer than the average person. She just held her daughter , one hand gently brushing against the pendant again, and the other wrapped around the younger girl. Once they about reached the stairs, someone could be heard running on the upper level- soon it was Noah, who had emerged across the corner and was looking at his two family members in confusion, surely wondering.. how the hell they got here that fast.
“Hi Noah..” Aurelia waved to Noah. Aurelia looked over at Peri. Berry had climbed onto peri and was now laying on him. She tilted her head at the two weird creatures. Aurelia then looked back up the stairs at her brother.
Noah just stared at his half sister and his mother, absolute confusion in his tone as he huffed out, catching his breath, “I— how did you guys get here so fast?? We were on the phone.. not even an hour ago.”
Aurelia was about to respond when the sound of someone tumbling down the stair could be heard. Aurelia froze and her eyes went huge. Holy crap someone just fell down the fucking stairs.
Estella was the one that tumbled down the stairs. Phelia was asleep so she decided to walk on her own.
“The fuck—“ Noah looked over quickly, and he almost wanted to bash his head into the wall. This damn kid has a seeing eye dog and like five people at least who would be willing to help her, yet she still pulled this?? “Estella, gods damnit.” He huffed at the sight of his niece and quickly made his way down the stairs.
Gemma though leans over Estella, before kneeling down, gently asking, “Are you alright, my dear?”
Gemma just let Estella do this, she didn’t quite mind. “My name is Gemma, I’m here to visit a woman named Luna.” The woman said as she gently moved a hand to grab one of Estella’s, giving her much time to move away if she wanted, of course. “Do you need some help? You took quite a rough tumble down the stairs..”
Estella was quiet for a moment. Her hand roamed Gemma’s face. She pulled her hand away from her face “yeah I’m fine. It’s just a tumble nothing i haven’t done before.”
Phelia stood at the top of the stairs and whined at Estella. Phelia rushed down the stairs to get to Estella. He started to poke his nose at her cheek. “Im alright phelia.” Estella pet the puppy.
Noah couldn’t help but ruffle his own hair roughly, muttering in a somewhat annoyed tone, “Why did you decide to walk around without your dog.. or even a cane or such? You know your eyesight is getting worse.” Gods, it’s like everyone who was descended from Lucas, was trying to kill themself.
Gemma meanwhile smiled softly, she could already see the resemblance.. and the naming conventions, that her son held with pets.. “Be easy on her, Noah. She seems mostly fine now.. lesson learned.”
Noah just gave his niece a halfassed side eye, even though he knew she couldn’t see it. As someone who’s lost half of his sight at one point in his life, he sort of feels like he has to help Estella… well not had to as in a negative way, but, he felt like he should help.. even if it’s not the same, it’s probably the closest thing that anyone here besides Commodus has, and even then, Commodus also only has no sight in one eye. “Mom, she needs to be more careful.”
“Well he was asleep. And I’m don’t need help all the time I can do things by myself.” Estella scoffed. Estella slowly stood up. Phelia started to sniff Gemma.
Aurelia looked down at the dog then looked at Estella. She was struggling trying to process everything. She squeezed the princess figurine tightly.
Noah just huffed, looking to Gemma and Aurelia, “..I’m not even going to ask how you two got in here. Let’s just.. get you two to Luna.”
Gemma smiled softly at the dog, and then Estella, the weasel in Gemma’s pocket made a very unhappy noise at the creature sniffing around her space. They climbed up Gemma’s clothes and rested around her neck, beneath her long hair. “It was a pleasure to meet you, Estella.”
“It was a pleasure to see you aswell.” Estella smiled softly. Phelia started to bark at the weasel. “Phelia, follow.” Estella started to walk to the kitchen. Phelia rushed after and made sure she didn’t walk into anything again.
“..I don’t even know how we got her. I woke up and we were here.” Aurelia said bluntly
Gemma looked at a very confused Noah, “Show us where Luna is.” And he wasn’t about to question it since honestly he’s seen a lot of weird stuff already. Gemma looked over at Aurelia to make sure she was following her as Noah led them to Luna’s room
Aurelia kept a tight grip on her mother. She always did. Aurelia smiled a bit at her mother
Luna was currently folding baby clothes as she laid in her bed. There were darker tired lines on the woman’s face. A heart monitor wires spilled out of her shirt and was attached to the machine nearby. Her door was open a crack because she was expecting her girlfriend to come at some point and was not expecting Gemma to come so quick
Noah didn’t even get to explain anything, before Gemma made her way in, immediately. She was the first one in the door. Her eyes were sharp when she initially looked into the room, until her eyes landed onto her daughter, gaze softening at the sight of her. She knew Luna was okay, but.. this definitely made it better, “Luna, sweetie, did they leave you in this room all alone?” She asked with a frown, meanwhile Noah just stared at his mother because wHY WAS SHE SO CALM ABOUT THIS-
“Mama Davis, what are you doing here?” Luna asked, she placed the onsie to the side of her. Lunas hand gently rested on her pregnant belly as she leaned back on her pillow behind her
“I’m here because I heard about your complications. I won’t leave my own daughter, blood or not, to suffer this.” Gemma stated matter-of-factly, Noah meanwhile shrugged awkwardly- because yes he called her, but good gods, she got here before Chole or Lydia— and yes they lived halfway across the states, but they weren’t in ANOTHER CONTINENT.
Noah gave an awkward cough, “Yeah, uh… and Mom won’t be the last person to show up…”
“Look.” Noah started, brushing a hand through his own hair again, a habit of his.. in fact, one he might have picked up after Lucas all those years ago- gods damnit, he didn’t really think about that until just now. “We needed to come clean, I bet you haven’t even told anyone about your arm yet, and that happened like— what, almost a year ago?”
He gave a huff, looking away briefly before continuing, “It sucks, I know it does.. but people will only get more worried, the less you talk about things. So, for all the others may know, they might think you’re crazy.” Which.. probably wasn’t far from the truth. He personally thought Luna was going crazy or about to off herself when he first came here.. he came here to look after her, after all. And somehow that wellness check turned into him meeting a long dead emperor, his dying niece at the moment, and.. yeah.
“They already think I’m crazy.” Luna snapped. She glared at Noah. It was no secret that after Lucas disappeared she went down a rabbit hole. She knew people thought she was crazy.
“what about her arm?” Aurelia asked. Aurelia looked between Luna and Noah.
Luna huffed and lifted her sleeve to show her prosthetic
“..You still never actually told me what happened to cause that-“
Gemma cut in, interrupting Noah, “It’s not the time for that.. there are more pressing issues.” Gemma knew about this, vaguely, she was told by Luna’s mother, after all, and so she was fairly up to date.. but it still made part of her internally boil at the thought. How dare someone lay hands on her child. She hopes they were slaughtered like pigs, the ones who caused this. But she didn’t let that show, instead going to Luna’s side and asking with a small smile, “Is there anything we can do do to help you, dear?”
“I was in the middle of building a crib, but then I was told some distressing news and I had to stop.” Luna pointed to the half made crib. “Agatha was gonna do it when she got back with food.” Luna smiled
“YOU LOST YOUR ARM?” Aurelia said a bit panicked. “Oh my goody gumdrops” Aurelia squeezed her wooden doll tightly
Noah looked at Aurelia— yeahh… fuck, he forgot he hadn’t really caught them up on stuff. But then again, Aurelia always looked two steps away from a panic attack, so, really.. she was usually one of the last ones to hear things. “Yeah… that was a while back.”
Meanwhile a very confused Agatha stood in the doorway, because when the fuck did half of these people get here. “…Hi?” The demigod was very confused, to say the least.
Gemma glanced at the woman for a moment, as if doing a quick once-over to see if this was some bastard she had to watch out for… she can’t explain how many times Luna’s had troubles in the past with romance. She might not live in America, but by gods you are underestimating this woman if you think she won’t very heavily consider lodging a bullet into your head. She gave a small nod, and let a smile form on her face, deeming the woman decent.. for now. “Hello there, dear.”
At some point in the car ride, Aurelia had fallen asleep. When she had, they weren’t actually far from home, it was simply just the normal ride, perhaps the lull of both the car, and the familiar landscape, is what cause her to drowse off… but it certainly wasn’t a familiar situation here.

Once they about reached the stairs, someone could be heard running on the upper level- soon it was Noah, who had emerged across the corner and was looking at his two family members in confusion, surely wondering.. how the hell they got here that fast.
“Hi Noah..” Aurelia waved to Noah. Aurelia looked over at Peri. Berry had climbed onto peri and was now laying on him. She tilted her head at the two weird creatures. Aurelia then looked back up the stairs at her brother.
Noah just stared at his half sister and his mother, absolute confusion in his tone as he huffed out, catching his breath, “I— how did you guys get here so fast?? We were on the phone.. not even an hour ago.”
Aurelia was about to respond when the sound of someone tumbling down the stair could be heard. Aurelia froze and her eyes went huge. Holy crap someone just fell down the fucking stairs.
Estella was the one that tumbled down the stairs. Phelia was asleep so she decided to walk on her own.
“The fuck—“ Noah looked over quickly, and he almost wanted to bash his head into the wall. This damn kid has a seeing eye dog and like five people at least who would be willing to help her, yet she still pulled this?? “Estella, gods damnit.” He huffed at the sight of his niece and quickly made his way down the stairs.
Gemma though leans over Estella, before kneeling down, gently asking, “Are you alright, my dear?”
Gemma just let Estella do this, she didn’t quite mind. “My name is Gemma, I’m here to visit a woman named Luna.” The woman said as she gently moved a hand to grab one of Estella’s, giving her much time to move away if she wanted, of course. “Do you need some help? You took quite a rough tumble down the stairs..”
Estella was quiet for a moment. Her hand roamed Gemma’s face. She pulled her hand away from her face “yeah I’m fine. It’s just a tumble nothing i haven’t done before.”
Phelia stood at the top of the stairs and whined at Estella. Phelia rushed down the stairs to get to Estella. He started to poke his nose at her cheek. “Im alright phelia.” Estella pet the puppy.
Noah couldn’t help but ruffle his own hair roughly, muttering in a somewhat annoyed tone, “Why did you decide to walk around without your dog.. or even a cane or such? You know your eyesight is getting worse.” Gods, it’s like everyone who was descended from Lucas, was trying to kill themself.
Gemma meanwhile smiled softly, she could already see the resemblance.. and the naming conventions, that her son held with pets.. “Be easy on her, Noah. She seems mostly fine now.. lesson learned.”
Noah just gave his niece a halfassed side eye, even though he knew she couldn’t see it. As someone who’s lost half of his sight at one point in his life, he sort of feels like he has to help Estella… well not had to as in a negative way, but, he felt like he should help.. even if it’s not the same, it’s probably the closest thing that anyone here besides Commodus has, and even then, Commodus also only has no sight in one eye. “Mom, she needs to be more careful.”
“Well he was asleep. And I’m don’t need help all the time I can do things by myself.” Estella scoffed. Estella slowly stood up. Phelia started to sniff Gemma.
Aurelia looked down at the dog then looked at Estella. She was struggling trying to process everything. She squeezed the princess figurine tightly.
Noah just huffed, looking to Gemma and Aurelia, “..I’m not even going to ask how you two got in here. Let’s just.. get you two to Luna.”
Gemma smiled softly at the dog, and then Estella, the weasel in Gemma’s pocket made a very unhappy noise at the creature sniffing around her space. They climbed up Gemma’s clothes and rested around her neck, beneath her long hair. “It was a pleasure to meet you, Estella.”
“It was a pleasure to see you aswell.” Estella smiled softly. Phelia started to bark at the weasel. “Phelia, follow.” Estella started to walk to the kitchen. Phelia rushed after and made sure she didn’t walk into anything again.
“..I don’t even know how we got her. I woke up and we were here.” Aurelia said bluntly
Gemma looked at a very confused Noah, “Show us where Luna is.” And he wasn’t about to question it since honestly he’s seen a lot of weird stuff already. Gemma looked over at Aurelia to make sure she was following her as Noah led them to Luna’s room
Aurelia kept a tight grip on her mother. She always did. Aurelia smiled a bit at her mother
Luna was currently folding baby clothes as she laid in her bed. There were darker tired lines on the woman’s face. A heart monitor wires spilled out of her shirt and was attached to the machine nearby. Her door was open a crack because she was expecting her girlfriend to come at some point and was not expecting Gemma to come so quick
Noah didn’t even get to explain anything, before Gemma made her way in, immediately. She was the first one in the door. Her eyes were sharp when she initially looked into the room, until her eyes landed onto her daughter, gaze softening at the sight of her. She knew Luna was okay, but.. this definitely made it better, “Luna, sweetie, did they leave you in this room all alone?” She asked with a frown, meanwhile Noah just stared at his mother because wHY WAS SHE SO CALM ABOUT THIS-
“Mama Davis, what are you doing here?” Luna asked, she placed the onsie to the side of her. Lunas hand gently rested on her pregnant belly as she leaned back on her pillow behind her
“I’m here because I heard about your complications. I won’t leave my own daughter, blood or not, to suffer this.” Gemma stated matter-of-factly, Noah meanwhile shrugged awkwardly- because yes he called her, but good gods, she got here before Chole or Lydia— and yes they lived halfway across the states, but they weren’t in ANOTHER CONTINENT.
Noah gave an awkward cough, “Yeah, uh… and Mom won’t be the last person to show up…”
“Look.” Noah started, brushing a hand through his own hair again, a habit of his.. in fact, one he might have picked up after Lucas all those years ago- gods damnit, he didn’t really think about that until just now. “We needed to come clean, I bet you haven’t even told anyone about your arm yet, and that happened like— what, almost a year ago?”
He gave a huff, looking away briefly before continuing, “It sucks, I know it does.. but people will only get more worried, the less you talk about things. So, for all the others may know, they might think you’re crazy.” Which.. probably wasn’t far from the truth. He personally thought Luna was going crazy or about to off herself when he first came here.. he came here to look after her, after all. And somehow that wellness check turned into him meeting a long dead emperor, his dying niece at the moment, and.. yeah.
At some point in the car ride, Aurelia had fallen asleep. When she had, they weren’t actually far from home, it was simply just the normal ride, perhaps the lull of both the car, and the familiar landscape, is what cause her to drowse off… but it certainly wasn’t a familiar situation here. Gemma looked at the large building as she slowed to a stop, and parked in the parking lot. The brown haired woman looked over at her youngest daughter, and gently nudged her, “Aurelia, we’re here..”
Which certainly couldn’t be right.. they were in a whole other continent, and this definitely wasn’t the airport. Yet they were here, huh.
[[ Somewhat context ]]
Aurelia slowly sat up and opened her eyes. She froze. “…this isn’t the airport-“ Aurelia slowly looked to Gemma. “…momma how did we get here?” She questioned. Aurelia look at the time and mentally calculated that it had been 30 minutes since she fell asleep. “..it’s only been 30 minutes” Aurelia looked so confused
“No, it’s not the airport,” She continued, gently smiling at the younger woman. She adjusted the coverup that had slid slightly down her shoulders, unbuckling her seatbelt and glancing to Aurelia, “We simply drove, not much to it. Now, we’ll probably meet Noah inside, unless you want to wait in the car.”
The weasel that comfortably laid in a sunny part of the car, wriggled a bit as if shaking off the sleepiness, nudging at Gemma’s hand softly with its snout. The woman smiled softly as she gently pet the creature. Alway an oddly domesticated creature, this one is.
“..no no..I wanna come with..” Aurelia said quietly. She slowly unbuckled her seatbelt. Yeah Aurelia was definitely going to started flipping her lid when she was fully away. Aurelia slowly got out of the car. She saw a harpie flying nearby. She screamed and quickly got back in the car “WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT” Aurelia yelled. Poor gal was frightened
“A harpy, most likely. I’ve been told they work here.” Gemma remarked, as if it was the most known statement ever, as if it was a normal thing to say. Gemma’s hand gently trailed along the moon-cycle pendents on the choked-like necklace she had on, the small fluffy creature just hopped into one of the pockets the woman had in her jacket. “Come now, they won’t do you any harm.”
Aurelia slowly got out of the car and shut the door. She rushed to her mother’s side of the car and waited. Her hand went to her pocket and started to rub the wooden doll in it. “..holy moly this place is huge!” Aurelia stared up at the palace infront of her.
Gemma smiled and softly wrapped an arm around her daughter as she led them inside, oddly enough it’s.. like the harpies either couldn’t see them, or didn’t care. She gave a soft hum as she spoke, “It is. I’ve never been here in person, but.. I’ve heard a bit about it from the others. It seems like it’s a welcoming enough place for them to be.”
As they got to the doo, the older woman turned to her daughter, “Now, we’ll most likely have to see if we can find Noah when we’re inside.. or call him. I doubt he expects us this early.”
“I can Text him momma” Aurelia said as she pulled her phone out and texted Noah ‘we are here’. Aurelia slipped her phone back into her pocket. Aurelia grabbed her mother’s hand tightly.
Gemma gave a small nod, “Thank you, sweetheart.” And with that, the woman gently knocked on the door. After a moment of silence, she opened it and walked inside— she knew family lived here, it’s not like she was walking into a strangers home.
Aurelia gripped her mothers hand tightly. She practically hid being the older woman. Aurelia looked around the home. At least what she could see from the home.
The older woman walked with a confidence one would not expect in this situation- this woman was going to see her babies, and you would be damned to think she’d falter in the face of some monsters that were working under her son in law. Peri was napping nearby and did a biiiigggg stretch as they looked over at the two females in a bit of confusion. But, they just rolled back into a circle and took a nap, it wasn’t his problem.
Gemma made her way to the stairs, the click of her heels echoing slightly against the floor, albeit softer than the average person.

Noah’s phone started ringing. Aurelia called Noah. She watched as their mother was packing the car. Aurelia shifted from side to side as she waited for her brother to pick up the phone. She was actually concerned due to the fact that she woke up this morning to her mother packing bags. Aurelia of course started packing her own bag and put it next to their mother’s suitcase.

Noah picked up the phone, though he frowned a bit at seeing Aurelia’s number- did she need something? Or maybe their mom told her about the situation with Luna.. As Noah picked up the phone and pressed it to his ear, he started, “Aurelia? Hey- how’s it going?”
“What’s happening?? Momma won’t tell me where we are goin” Aurelia said panicked. She gripped her phone tightly in her hand. Aurelia grabbed her school bag and put it with her suitcase.
“Oh, uh… well..” Noah rubbed the back of his head awkwardly, hand ruffling his own hair as he huffed, “..Luna’s having some issues, right now, so.. maybe it has to do with that? Though I didn’t tell her the address-“
“LUNAS WHAT??” Aurelia shouted into the phone. She then covered her mouth and looked outside to her mom who was packing the care for the airport, or..whatever she was planning to do. “There’s no way she’s packing for the airport..” Aurelia said quietly
“Momma! Where are we going?” Aurelia shouted to Gemma who was still outside packing the car. Aurelia hoped that her mom wasn’t going crazy like how they described Luna going crazy that one time. “What if momma’s going crazy”
Gemma looked to Aurelia, putting another bag securely into the trunk, “To Indianapolis, sweetheart.” Because that’s where Luna and the others are. Where else would they go?
Noah meanwhile, rubbed the bridge of his nose, giving a long sigh, “Aurelia, mom isn’t going crazy, she’s probably just stressed. A lot of stuff has been going on with Luna in the past year, maybe at this point she just is getting a bit too stressed of it all? Or something? But no, people don’t usually go crazy like that… and if you bring up Luna as an example, no, we are not related by blood to her, so no, there’s not a chance this is a genetic thing.”
“I’m just worried.” Aurelia said softer. “Momma said we are going to Indianapolis..” Aurelia fidgeted with the bottom of her shirt. “I don’t know how we would get there, mommas packing so much stuff” Aurelia went outside since Gemma was almost done packing the car.
“Yeah, I dunno… I mean unless mom got some sort of private thing… gods, I wouldn’t out it above her.” He huffed halfheartedly- yeah, he knew his mom was better off ever since her second husband, and she usually spends her money on her kids, as in his siblings, or her foster kids… yeah, the only explanation he could think of, was that she was going on some private thing maybe, or she was really willing to pay extra to bring more stuff.. or maybe she was just really stressed and she’d snap out of it on the way there. “Worst case scenario, she’s just stressing out, and she’ll realize in the car, and she’ll turn back to put things back at the house.”
Noah sighed as he looked at the clock- gods, he wouldn’t be surprised if his sisters showed up here in like the next few hours, and he would have to explain all of this too.
Meanwhile Gemma finished up packing mostly, she looked to Aurelia and asked, “Do you have everything you need? We’ll be staying for a couple weeks.” She’d already told the others that they’d be gone, already gotten people to watch over everyone, along with the older kids, just in case.
“I think she’s okay- Agatha’s been staying with her mostly.. that’s her girlfriend, just in case you forgot.” He added on, just in case- sometimes he couldn’t remember what siblings had been told what.. or if they even remembered it, if he told them.
Gemma just smiled softly at Aurelia, “Yes, sit wherever. Bring any snacks or blankets you might need on the ride.” As the brown haired woman on the other side of the phone spoke, a brown weasel wriggled out of its little kennel, curling up on the dashboard, before the woman gently picked them up.
“Let me get Joanne” Aurelia went into the house and grabbed a little wooden princess doll that was painted to look like her. Aurelia placed the trinket in her pocket. She then went to the car and got in the passenger seat. “I’m gonna let you go Noah, I think we are gonna leave soon.” Aurelia said into the phone

Charlotte grabbed onto Noah's leg, looking up at him.
"Adada-"
She gasped and moved away, realizing this wasn't her Ada. She stood awkwardly, probably just practicing how to stand and walk.

Noah looked down at his pant leg as he felt someone tug on it- his brow furrowed as he saw the.. small infant there? Maybe not infant, but.. small child. He assumed that vague babbling was saying ‘dada’ in a way- must be one of Lucas’ kids. The brunette’s eye softened as he looked down at her- he thinks this one is… Charlotte, or such. Lucas has talked about her a bit, and he’s walked by the nursery every now and again and sees her. “Ah.. hey there, little gal. I’m not your ‘adada’.”
