Bella flies away. She visits her parents, hits up the guild for matches and wins enough to pay her guild dues, and tools around random wilderness beating up on the wildlife.

She doesn't really expect to hear from Sherlock and Tony again.

"I had the impression he was an early riser," remarks Bella when the omelette is sizzling away.

[toblameforit]

"Sometimes, sure. He's just not very consistent about it."

[the_very_best]

"He's gonna get cold omelette if he doesn't wake up soon. Maybe you should try taking the spatula and attempting to flip it," Bella giggles, "just to get him out of bed."

[toblameforit]

"But will it be worth the damage to the omelette?"

[the_very_best]

"Just how much of a culinary disaster are you?"

[toblameforit]

"It's pretty bad."

[the_very_best]

"Good thing you have Sherlock, then."

[toblameforit]

"Yep!"

[the_very_best]

Bella flips the omelette herself, and it finishes cooking, and she scoots it onto a plate and cuts it into three parts. She takes an end and gives Tony the middle. "Enjoy. I'm not as good a cook as Sherlock but I know omelettes."

[toblameforit]

"Thanks," says Tony.

Nom nom nom!

[the_very_best]

Nom nom nom indeed!

Sherlock trots into the kitchen with his hair looking mightily ruffled and silently serves himself the last third of the omelette.

"Morning, Sherlock."

[bitofafiction]

"Morning," he says. "Food, then speech."

Om nom nomelette.

[the_very_best]

Bella laughs. "And then racing," she says brightly.

[bitofafiction]

Sherlock nods.

Bella finishes her share of omelette and grins.

[bitofafiction]

Sherlock continues to nomelette.

"You going to fly Candle, or get somebody else to carry you, Tony?" Bella asks. "I know even little 'mon can, it just looks awfully silly."

[toblameforit]

"I'm gonna fly Candle."

[the_very_best]

"Cool." Bella sits back to wait for the boys to both be ready to fly.

[bitofafiction]

Eventually, Sherlock finishes his breakfast.

[the_very_best]

"Shall we?" Bella asks. And she describes the course she and Tony picked out to Sherlock.

[bitofafiction]

"Perfectly practical," says Sherlock. "Let's."

And out they go, and he produces Irene.

Bella tosses Rachis, who trills and lets Bella onto her.

"Grounded start?" inquires Bella. "Or should we go have them all clinging to the roof of the tower?"
