Outwardly, Daemon never faltered for a second. He simply kept his proud and regal appearance as he stared out in the crowd of humans that now were his supposed people. But internally, his mind was with his daughters. 'Hush, my children...' echoed Daemon's voice, wispy now, within their minds. 'There is no need for you to feel bashful before these insects. They are lesser beings, unworthy to pass judgement upon us. Feel proud, my daughters, for they can never amount to what you are. Even as infants, you could destroy them in minutes...'

The two girls look at each other now, Usha had taken to hind behind Isis while Ank was out of sight behind her mother. At their fathers words they both step out making themselves seen. Both girls took their places next to their mother and father now looking out at the people both girls wearing the same emotionless expression on their faces. A murmurer ran threw the crowd of people as they could not see the little princesses. Nef looked over to Daemon and cocked her head to the side. "Did you have something to do with this? They where both hiding a second ago."

Daemon, without turning to look at Nef, murmured an aside to her. "Oh no, they just saw something shiny and wanted it--of course I did." His voice grumbled in the hushed murmur, so contrary to the serene, faintly smiling expression on his lips. "I told them to be unafraid." He would leave it at that, knowing that Nef might not take it as well that he insinuated the insignificance of all these plebeians.

Nef had the strong desire to hit him in the arm for his snarky attitude but to do so front of all these people be a huge mistake on her part. Isis approached the two of them and places her hands on the mid part of their backs leaning down to whisper to them. "All right you two you are free to go now. Behave yourselves got it? You both have now been deemed my successors." She pulls away from them with a smile to address the crown again. Nef looks at her two girls and hold out one of her hands. "Usha Ank come om girls we can go now." Usha being the taller of the two ran over to take Nef's hand while Ank walked over to walk beside her father reaching out to grasp at his clothing to hang onto.

Daemon extended his hand to give Ank's... but she was so tiny, he realized that he'd be walking bent sideways for the length of their journey. So a bit impatiently and without seeing anything wrong with it, the length of his arm turned into a wispy, black shadows, long enough so that his hand (read: claws) easily reached Ank's tiny grasp as they walked off.

Nef looked over at his arm now looking taken aback from this but the look on Ank's face calmed her down. The little girl was smiling and for Ank that was a very rare thing to see. Ank like her father was linked to the shadows and found this more comforting then anything else. the crowed behind then didn't think the same as a few people screamed. Isis looked over to see and rolled her eyes at this turning back to the people to calm them down once again. Nef gives Daemon a little glare now. "Did you have to do that? You could have just picked her up like a normal Father."

Daemon shrugged with false innocence. "She'll never learn how to walk that way..." As though he only had the best of intentions in mind. The smirk that appeared at the sounds of screams said otherwise though.

Nef just stared at him now. "Oh yeah I'm sure that is the only reason you had in mind." On Nef's hand Usha was silently giggling at this. Nef looked down at the girl who stopped and smiled up at her mother. "Yes I know dear you are going to be a world of trouble."

Daemon looked at her with his eyebrows raised. He too was smirking in a roguish, charmingly devilish way. The way he did whenever he was up to no good. "Oh Nef, you're just going to have to get used to the fact that your family is juuuust a bit evil...." he said, motioning a pinch with his free hand. He was looking at her through the small indentation of his fingers with his other eye closed. "And of course, when I say 'just a bit,' I really mean, 'just a lot a bit.'" He snapped his fingers shut, and his view of her.

Nef enters back into the main palace with him and lets go on Usha's hand giving her a little push with it. "Yes I guess I will have to deal with this." Usha looked up at her mother with a look of pure confusion on her face. "Go take a look around Usha." Usha just looked lost now ad she walked over to her sister and took her hand looking back to her mother as if she see is she was doing it right. Nef gives a little bit of a laugh. "Usha, Ank go take a look around this room. You two have never been out of the other one." Both girls just stood their and stared at Nef at though she was crazy. The finely wonder a bit away from their parents both still holding each others hands. "So which one of them is going to get your creepy shadow thing?"

"They might both have it, to be honest," Daemon said, though his eyes were still following his daughters. If they seemed baffled and nervous about leaving their parents, to the faintest degree, Daemon returned the same anxiety about letting them go. "They are developing differently. I think Usha might be a bit more like you and your family, but I can tell Ank already has it--my creepy shadow powers, as you so graciously put it-- along with a number of my other abilities."

The girls don't wonder very far and keep looking back to make sure that both of their parents where still in the room. Nef gives them a reassuring smile a motions with her hands for them to keep looking around. She watched with a smile at the began to pick things up and look at them, but never far from each other. "Well Ank does look like a little you... Hey Daemon do you know where Usha got that purple hair from? I thought that was a bit odd that she had that hair color."

Daemon shrugged. "If it's not from you, and it's not from either of my parents, then it probably was just a weird mutation of my powers to assume any form," he said very nonchalantly. He had been distracted, craning his neck a little to watch the girls. It was only a second after that he somewhat visibly flinched, and remained paused, before slowly moving his eyes sidelong toward Nef.

Nef was giving him a smile, a very smug smile. "I think it's rather cute that you have been keeping an eye on the girls like that. Are you worried that they might get scared and need there daddy to come and save them?" Nef hadn't even realized that he in a way just let it slip that he would take other forms. She was far to entertained watching him be a father.

He should have been annoyed by the connotation, but at the moment, he was a bit too grateful that Nef hadn't caught on. She was thick like that. Right now he appreciated it. Instead, he pulled back his lips in some mixture of grimace and smirk. Only a second later, when he went over her words once again, did he actively frown. "I am not cute, Darling."
