Kal saunters into Aloe's room with Viago's poison collection. "Here. This is what you wanted, right? You've got about an hour before he returns and notices it's missing."
Aloe grins. "Yes! Thank you!" She'll work fast, she always does. Kal looks around after handing her the case. She's got a few half-full vials of random mixtures. He glances back, sees that his twin is occupied with the numerous vials, and starts grabbing liquids and mixing them together until he ends up with something sparkly and purple.
It's pretty; he wants to drink it. "Hey, Alone. Anything over here toxic?" Before she responds, he's already drinking it. It tastes like peppermint. He doesn't like mint.
"No, but if you touch anything, I swear to the Maker that I will end you."
"Oh." He freezes. Why is his voice so high? Weird.
Aloe sighs, "Kalias de Riva! What did you do this time?" He's still got a bit of his mixture in all its sparkly goodness. She swipes the mixture from him, looks over the now empty vials, and glares at him. "You're lucky Viago doesn't let me make poison in here."
He squeaks. His voice is higher than Lonely's!
Her eyes flicker over the vials once more as she considers something. "Well, nothing in here could be mixed to make something toxic, so you're fine there. This is a weird effect, though."
"Really!" There's mischief in her eyes. He likes it.
Aloe grins. "Since I'm pretty sure you won't die, how would you like to prank Viago?"
"Sure!" Kal squeaks. "Think Moni wants to help?"
She grins. “Let’s go find him.”
"Okay, so here's what's going to happen," Aloe begins, looking between him and Moni. "You two are going to drink these potions, and then we're going to go find Viago." Kal blinks at the sparkly purple potion in Aloe's hand, then glances at their little brother. Moni still seems uncertain.
“Wh-what’s it do?”
“Kal.” She passes a vial to him.
Kal drinks it down swiftly. “This!” Moni considers it for a moment, then nods hesitantly. Aloe hands him a potion of his own, though it takes him a minute to drink it.
“How does this w—“ Moni’s extremely deep voice even catches Lonely off guard. Kal grins. Moni blushes.
Aloe laughs. “This is perfect! Let’s go!” Kal drags Moni behind them as they find their way to Viago!
“Dad!” Kal starts right outside the room. He can hear Viago sigh from here!
“You can’t just call him Dad!” Moni states.
“Why not?”
“If the two of you don’t shut, I’m going to drown myself in Adder’s kiss.”
“That's not fair!” Aloe’s surprisingly deep voice calls. “Why do you get all the good poisons!?” Viago’s head slams against the desk.
