Shine Bright Like A Diamond

Sensing the very abrupt change in mood Syx frown, “Djinn?”

Letting go of Harrison’s wrists he stroked his goatee thoughtfully before clapping his hands and hoping up, “Oh magic is annoying but considering that half the D.S. is magic I’ve had to learn to cope.”

He spun around trying to remember where he’d put the thing. Jogging off he froze and pointed a finger at Harrison, his voice full of command that he expected to be obeyed, “Stay.”

With that he moved over to one on the storage racks a bit away and started digging through it. Not so long ago he’d had to put aside his rivalry with Psycho Delic in order to fight off a powerful magic user that had tried to muscle his way into Metrocity. Hot Flash had given him a reference book of sorts to help. Pulling the dusty book out of a box he wandered back over to the couch, skimming through the hand written book as it didn’t have an index.

Harrison couldn’t help but show his disappointment when Syx was no longer in his lap.  And normally if left unattended in a new place he would wander and touch whatever he pleased.  But Syx had told him to stay and so he decided to obey.  If you don’t count getting up to reclaim the plate of cookies before heading right back to his place on the sofa.  By the time Syx returns, all the lightning bolt cookies are nothing but a few crumbs and Harrison has brainbot 8 on it’s back while he pats its belly.  

“Djinn… like a genie?” Syx wrinkled his nose, much of the book didn’t make sense to him which was why he’d never really dug into it before, “There is one paragraph and it seems more theoretical then from experience,” he sighed, “I might have to ask for a favor from Hot Flash if I have to deal with this Drago then.”

Seeing that his ‘spot’ was now occupied by #8 Syx stood frowning at the bot who was very much enjoying the attention of the ‘other daddy’. He could go back to sitting next to Harrison, but his previous seat had been far preferable. For the time being he simply cocked a hip as he stood before Harrison and grabbed a gear cookie for himself.
