[ The Grounds - The Lake ]It was so refreshing to be alone, at least for the first hour. The young mishap laid down on a rock by the water's edge, dressed warmly in a long sleeved cream sweater, jeans, thick socks, and sneakers. Her hair was at it longest it had been in months being somewhere past her shoulders, refusing to get it even trimmed.
The wasp rubbed her eyes, staring at the deep purple sky. "They must think I'm going nuts." She sighed, watching a cloud lazily slumber by. "Feh, I'll go apologize later."

It was the first time Deimos had left his mother's side since the attack. It ahd taken at elast an hour of convincing on Jean Claude's part that his mother would be ok in order to get him away from her bedside. He clutched Zir closely to him, he'd never been as close to the bear as he was now.
Treading out onto the roads, he was set on going to the Dawn.. His ship would find someway to relax him and take his mind off the attack.

Rustling of noise caught the young mishap's attention, sitting up her large yellow eyes scanned the area for a sign of life. She spotted the dawn near the water's edge, though Deimos was not there yet.
Standing up on the rock she was on, she hovered over towards the ship landing on tip of the wheel with small bit of elegance. When was the last time she was on the Black Dawn, a year to be nearly exact. Though no bitter feelings were left with her this time, she was young at the time and he was young at the time. The wasp misunderstood his feelings of worry, and felt bad about yelling at him at a very inappropriate time.
Which was one of the last times she saw the demon mishap since then, and one of the last time she had heard from Anastay. Voiceless and alone the mishap stood looking out towards the water from her perch on the Dawn.

It didn't take him very long to reach the side of his ship as he looked up at the smooth wood. Placing a clawed hand upon it, he rested his forehead against the wood.. It had been a long time..
Summoning the gangplank with a gust of wind, the plank thuped loudly on the ground next to Deimos as he began to ascend. He was already feeling, perhaps a little bit better..

She tensed, turning quickly she spotted the source of the noise. Without thinking, she zoomed high up into the crows nest. She paused, watching who was there-
It was Deimos.
-And then her heart skipped a beat.
Taking a deep breath, she calmed herself. She must being going insane, it was just Deimos. Why I am so nervous?
He's right there, go say Hi.
Are you crazy? She thought, pealing her eyes away from the demon mishap. I can't just say Hi, I haven't seen him in nearly half a year.
Coward.
She blinked hitting her forehead many times for a moment. "Shut up. Shut up. Shut up." She whispered, finally she decended down towards the deck. Taking many deep breaths, she finally drew courage to find her voice.
"... Dei?"

Deimos jumped in fear and his eyes anrrowed at the voice. He started shaking. WHo was it? Who was on his ship? With a snap fire dancd at his fingertips as he grasped Zir even closer to him with his other hand.
"Who's there?" He asked, his voice shaking. The voice seemed a bit familiar, but he didn't trust his mind for that.. He was on the alert for anyoe, ad disembodied voices definantly sent up red flags on Deimos already worn down nerves.

"It's me!" She squeeked, and back away, her back hitting the mast. "It's me, Aphrodite! It's me Smalls!" She held up her hands, she had never seen Deimos so jumpy, the last time was the last time she'd seen him and he was very sleep deprived at the time as well.

His eyes seached for the voice and they soon found her.. His breathign slowed, he hadn't even noticed it was racing.. "I.. uh.. sorry Smalls." He whispered, estinguishing the flame in his hand.. "I.. sorry.." He said.. He hadn't meant to frighten her. He'd meant to thraten whatever evil ebign had been lurking on his ship.. Paranoia was a dangerous thing.

She flew to his side as soon as the flame was out, taking her old spot on his shoulder. "Dei, you look terrible.. are you ok?" She spoke soothingly, her tiny hand on his cheek.

He leaned in towards her hand.. A comforting word or touch would do wodners for him now.. He closed hiseyes, hugging the bear tighter as she asked.. "I.. mother was attacked.." He said.. She was attaced and he had been able to do nothing.. He could still see the body.. His body started shaking at the mere thought.. "she just got out of the hospital.."

She bit her lip and felt horrible, suddenly she felt selfish and inconsiderate. Earlier in the evening, she was frustrated with her family and the fact that the new arrivals meant more chores and responsibilty.
Shaking away her bitter thoughts, she hugged his face tightly. "Oh, Dei...! " She kissed his cheek and pulled away from her hug and rubbed it soothinly with her hand. "Well, she's going to be ok, that's what matters right now... right?"

He wanted to hug her.. He wanted to cling to her, but he couldn't.. He'd squish her... The girp on his bear tightened as he nodded. "She was dead for a while, Aph.. I was it.. there was blood.. and the person who did it.. we don't knwo where she is, or if she'll come back.." He said.. He was full of fears.

She continued to stroke his cheek, kissing it again to calm him. Something much like what her mother would do. "I- I don't know what to say, I want to help you Dei." She clung to the side of his face, she tried her hardest to push back the feelings of dread and dispair that were leaking from him to her. "I want to make you feel better too. It hurts when I see you like this."

She blushed, she used her hand to wip away the tears that fell. "I can also protect myself..." she said softly, but her tone wasn't annoyed like the many times beforehand. "... I want to stay here, with you. You're mine- I mean my fr-friend... An-and you mean the world to me." She stuttered the last few words.
