Well, that had happened.

It was all very weird, scary, and exhausting. But it definitely just emphasized that the oommitment she'd made was for real. And worth it, what with more people being safer and all because she'd been able to help. And now they had a whole little Hero (or Heroine) Education thing going, apparently, and that was going to help a lot, and the people seemed nice.

She was there now, but nothing much was happening at the moment, so she was sitting outside on a rock, had her guitar out and was playing "Rainbow Connection."

Janie floated down from her perch on a tree reading to sit next to Clara on the rock. She hadn't known the other girl could play so well.

The sounds catch Mikal's attention as he passes not too far off amidst an afternoon run. He lifts off for a view from above, locates the singer, and hovers over to settle in by the girls, staying quiet to listen.

Clara smiles up at Janie as she comes down, doesn't miss a beat or chord with "Who said that every wish/ would be heard and and answered/ when wished on the morning star?"

She doesn't screw up the song when she spots, um, Mikal, but the smile gets blushier rather than just greeting-y. Still, they're respecting the song, she's going to finish it. And then clear her throat a little. "Hey."

When Mikal hovers nearby he gets a smile and nod of acknowledgement from Janie. She'd have said hi but it'd cut into the song.

When the song finishes, she can't help but smile to herself, oh Mikal wouldn't be minding that blush at all she knew.

"Hey. Didn't know you could do that. How long have you been playing."

Mikal gives her a slight, mischievous wink when he notices the blush... and oh yes, he notices. He likewise doesn't interrupt the song, even looking once or twice like he might join in, or at least like he's trying to remember the lines.

"Nice. I haven't heard that song in ages. Dad loves it though."

"Thanks." She grin-shrugs at Janie. "Well, it doesn't really come up in an emergency easily. I started in fifth grade." She nods to Mikal. "It's one of my favorites. Big hit on Odym, too. They don't know the Muppets, but they appreciated it on broad general principle."

Janie shoots Mikal a slight warning look. Of course she had expected him to do that, but still.

"You never know, musicals would argue otherwise," Janie smile shrugged back and put her book away in her small shoulder bag to pull out a ziploc of cheerios and offer some. "Snack? First thing I could find this morning."

He sighs. Why do the Bats always have to be so... practical?

"Makes sense. Don't half of the lanterns kind of look like Muppets anyway?"

"Ooh, thanks." She has a couple.

Clara giggles. "A good portion of them, yes. But then, we look like strategically shaved monkeys."

She took some for herself and munched while smiling at Mikal innocently. What? He was too far to offer cheerios anyway.

"That's sort of true. Have they met many monkeys is the question though."

"Its not all that true. Can't imagine why anyone would make such a comparison." he responds with mock indignity, mumbling something about those blessed of the gods and resenting any comparison to Grodd while he goes through the small pack he has with him so he has food during his training runs, getting closer and offering them his own contribution to the little almost-breakfast.

"Banana?" he asks, pretty much ruining his entire mock-point.

The laugh is much louder this time. "Yes, thank you."

"So what were you reading, Janie?" she asks politely even though she is looking not at Janie's book but still at Mikal.

Janie looks amused and shakes her head at Mikal being silly. She does take a bit of bannana and with a dramatic sigh holds out her bag of cheerios in return if he cared for some.

"Just took out a bunch of old mystery books from the library. On Christie now, but the good stuff and not her later years with the convoluted silly solutions. I like it better than the bestselling thriller things they advertise as mystery. They usually go for too much shock and gore." Now there's a pointed look at Mikal and she's not talking about gore with the next point. "It's often a lot better to tone it down..." Pointed look at you sorta-cousin.

"Oh, totally agreed. But then I am the spirit of subtlety and restraint." he responds, cheerily. That said, he lets them discuss novels - not a weakness, per se, but not a strength either, settling for helping a small handful of cheerios last longer by flipping them into the air one at a time and catching them in his mouth.

"That's a good point, but... well, I thought Murder on the Orient Express was ...sweet. Not any of the murder parts, of course, but the way they all covered for each other, and at the end, when the grandma's all 'Just take me. I'd have stabbed him twelve times myself...' I don't know; it was sort of people-right and family-right the way a less completely ridiculous crime wouldn't have been."

"Yep, Mikal is famous for that," she smiles sweetly at him.

It was kind of funny how Clara made sure to specify it wasn't the murder that was sweet. "I liked that one too. Especially since they weren't all blood family because really, that stuff doesn't matter all that much. I didn't like Death on the Nile even though everyone raves about it for some reason and it's one of her famous ones. She made the murderers too obvious and the solution ridiculous." As she talks, Janie takes a cheerio and flings it at one of the ones Mikal is tossing up, to knock it away from his mouth.

He smirks at the bit of extra cheerio flinging, settling for just grabbing for another.

"She means mildly infamous. An excess of subtlety will do that."

Clara nods emphatically on 'to heck with blood; they were family' part. That was just obvious. "Didn't read Death on the Nile, but I think I'll take your word."

She's very impressed by both of their aim, then giggles at the commentary. "I guess it would."

"Only read it just for saying you have's sake. Otherwise, there are better options," she nods back.

"Sometimes I have to tell him to be more obvious or it'll confuse people."

"Its true, she's very good at correcting me. Doubtless for my own good." he replies, with the same easy cheer. Staying out of the literary discussion.

"I'm sure she doesn't have any problems with you Clara." Clara was a sweetheart, which is why Mikal had gotten the warning glare earlier. "I'm just here to make sure he doesn't get too subtle," she says with a slight smirk at Mikal.

Oh, he knows she's a sweetheart - he toned it down pretty quickly. Harpers and a little harmless flirting just go together. Or something.

"It seems I'll be working with these people. So I'll do my best to keep everything within reasonable levels of subtlety. Scout's honor." he replies, trying, fumbling a little, but mostly kind of pulling off one of those cub scoutish gestures of honor he'd seen here and there.

Janie just looks amused and smiles. "Okay, we'll make sure to get into plenty of trouble with you Clara."
