Harley smiles internally, content with knowing that his mate is obviously his.
"She demanded to be let through, and with it being obvious she's our Luna, we let her through."
Harley furrows his eyebrows. "She demanded? What did she say exactly?"
"Uhm, believe something simple like 'I demand to be let through'."
"Hm," Harley hums. That isn't like Rayna. "What was her body language?"
"She seemed very confident, as if she knew we'd let her through."
Harley nods.
"Thank you. You two are dismissed."
They stand up, bow, and exit the office. Curious, Harley pulls up the CCTV footage of that night at that door, goes to the time the guard said, 9:40 P.M., and starts watching.
Sure enough, only a few seconds later, Rayna enters the frame, walking confidently up to the guards, showing her mark, demanding to be let through, and entering the dungeons. He smiles again, proud of his little mate. He's realized she's getting more confident, but he didn't realize she's gotten confident enough to order guards.
Harley finds the names of the guards guarding the specific sector of the dungeons he was in and arranges a meeting with them for later in the morning—an hour and a half from now so he can get some more work done.
*~* Rayna *~*
Rayna wakes up around 8 o'clock, as she usually does. Of course, Harley isn't there, but she rightly assumes he's working. She gets out of bed, showers, gets dressed, and gets ready. She tied her hair up in a wet messy bun and wore a grey t-shirt and shorts and went to go eat breakfast.
In the leader commons, she sees Naomi already there.
"Hey, Naomi," she greets, sitting next to her. "Good morning, Mrs. McClain, Jade."
They all greet her back. Naomi eyes her clothes.
"You wanna get ready together after this?" the ginger asks. Rayna shrugs.
"Sure, why not?"
She asks Jade for a bowl of Fruity Pebbles and starts eating. Naomi was already nearly finished with her mini pancakes, and once they're both finished, they head up to Rayna and Harley's room to pick out an outfit for her.
"Whoa," Naomi says in awe, walking in. "This place is nice."
"I forgot you haven't been in here yet," Rayna replies, walking over to the closet. Naomi follows and starts looking through her clothes.
"How about this?" she asks, holding up a white skirt with suspenders and a tight, light blue, long-sleeved crop top. Rayna gives it a questionable look. "C'mon, it looks cute. Just try it on."
"Okay . . ." Rayna hesitantly agrees. She takes the outfit and walks around the bed into the bathroom. She strips out of the other clothes and into these new ones. It takes her a minute to figure out the suspenders, but once she looks at the outfit in the mirror, she's a bit surprised that she actually looks cute in it.
