Daemon was silently uncomfortable by such aggravated, love-inspired lovers quarrels. He certainly felt like the third wheel. Nef had essentially just admitted to still having feelings. He sighed. "I think she means to say, why did you vanish without a word," he stated calmly.

Vrika's eyes glanced over to Daemon and then back to Nef softening. "Nef... I'm sorry about that. I'm sorry that I left you so suddenly and with out a word but a civil war had started back home and my father needed me." He reach out to be to bold as to touch the angered face of the young goddess. She promptly slapped his hand away from her. "Don't touch me you have no right and even if that was the case you could have still sent me word about the war but you didn't. You. Said. Nothing." To this he looks down in shame now but looks back up to her with a hopeful look on his face. "I'm sorry for that too but war makes it hard to write. Nef please I came back didn't I?" She gives a humf now and crosses her arms over her chest. "Yes you did but you are too late. I have moved on an found another to love."

To this, Daemon put his arm around the back of Nef's shoulders. Not that she could see, given that he was somewhat behind her and taller, but his expression had become decidedly smug. "Oh, Nef, just how terribly convenient is it that, for all these years he couldn't write, and yet he managed to find time for you now, isn't it?"

Daemon's words rang in her ears as she became more angered with the prince in front of her. Vrika looked like he had been a kicked puppy at this point looking from Daemon to Nef. "Nef please you have to understand I wanted to write I wanted to come back to you but--" Nef held up her hand now to silence him. "Enough I don't need to hear any more from you. You can't just show back up into my life and expect for me to fall right back into your arms like I am 18 again. I am done with you Vrika I have been since the day you left me." Nef reaches up placing her hand on the one Daemon had put on her shoulder. "Come on Daemon we should go and check on our daughters." She perilously over emphasized the word to rube salt into Vrika's wound.

Daemon began to turn to follow Nef out, but his eyes remained on Vrika, that same, hateful smile turning his lips upward. "Maybe you should just go and leave the tournament, Vrika..." Daemon projected that thought at him before fully turning to leave.

Vrika balled his hands up into fist now and yelled back at them, more directed at Nef. "I'm not going to give up on us!" Nef glances back at him but her eyes don't linger there long as she turns back to face down the hall. Daemon could feel her body beginning to tremble under his fingertips. Nef closed her eyes and as she did a few tears slid down her face.

Oh god. She was starting to cry. Come on, Vrika had to have been like, at least six years ago! Okay, so for someone as old as him, that might as well have been yesterday, but what was with all this sappy crying and 80's-esque I'm not giving up on us! If it wouldn't have been completely inappropriate, and likely to drive Nef right back into the arms of that split-pea brain, he would have snorted. I mean, comedy like this just didn't happen everyday.
Oh, right. Time to be reassuring. Daemon had to go and put on his sympathetic countenance.
He began to give her a little bit of an arm rub from his ow arm wrapped around her shoulders. "It's okay Nef. It was a long time ago. You can get through this." Well, that wasn't exactly inspired. He doubted she'd note the difference anyways.

Nef flung her arms into the air now knocking Daemon arm away from her. "I'm not crying out of sadness! I am crying out of pure frustration! The nerve of that guy! Thinking he can just walk back into my life like this." She crossed her arms now giving a humph.

Daemon rolled his eyes slightly to this, but was honestly happy to have his arm back anyways. Regardless, he knew frustration wasn't the sum of what she felt, but he could play along. Why not? "Yeah, we have a term for people like that back where I come from..."

She looks at him now whipping some of the tears away from her face with the back of her hand. "What is it?"

"Nice Guy. Capital N G. Guys are just so freaking nice as they remain inconsiderate assholes, but they never mean it. And they can't understand why you don't want them now. Because they're so nice."

Nef stared at him for a few moment and then nodded her head placeing her hands back on her hips. "Yeah that sounds about right. Do me a huge favor Daemon and royal kick his ass for me?"

At this, he stopped to look at her, his hands landing on either side of her shoulders. "I wouldn't dream of doing any less," he said with a beatific smile.

Nef grinned at him. "Good!" This lovely moment however was broken by the sounds of little feet running along the floor. Nef looked up to see Usha running down the hall a look of pure terror on her face. She practically slams into Daemon's leg and looks up at him her mind in a panic. So many thought running threw it it was hard to make out what she was trying to tell him. "Usha baby what's wrong!?"

Daemon's brow immediately knit. "Ank--where's Ank?" He did not wait for any response or comment, he simply picked up the small child and swept forward as a racing shadow, because that was the fastest he could move since his powers had been limited in coming to this world.
