Genie’s recovery had been a fairly quick one. Had it not been for Vyers’ little dilemma, it quite possibly may have taken even less time. Though, it had always been said that laughter was the best medicine. Perhaps the demons visit had proved more helpful than first thought, Genie having found quite the amusement from Sugar Blossom’s antics. He had both Urd’s ‘miracle potion’ to thank and curse, the potions effects having resulted different than predicted when it came to the demon and himself. Vyers having caused a distance between himself and his wife and Genie suffered an allergic reaction. No, having his best suit ruined had not been nearly the worst of it all. Having felt drained, tired, and forced to bathe in a tub of orange pekoe to reverse the potions effects had. Not to mention the lingering odour. Not that Genie exactly minded the smell it just raised a few eyebrows. Only the Genie of the Tea Pot could acquire such an odour.

He had been just pulled himself from his bath when Urd had announced her arrival back home. In all honesty, he had not expected her trip to the Pride Lands to be so short. Had she discovered a new floor so soon? Genie draped the towel he had been using over his shoulder and opened the bathroom door just enough to peer out at the hallway. He saw Urd walk by and head straight to her room, the sound of the goddess fallen a top her bed followed. Had the trip been a bad one? He had yet to hear Belldandy or Aladdin return. What would have caused Urd to come home so early?

“Welcome baaaaack!” Genie cried, having burst into Urd’s bedroom without warning. Then again, she had left the door open. That had practically been an invitation itself to come inside. “I made brownies.” He continued and held out the tray to Urd, still wearing his shower cap as well as his towel over his arm with his oven mitts.
