This takes place before Sevriel and Devi found each other again.
Mother Says Ch 2
Aridan slid out of bed, walking to the other side of the bed where Devi slept soundly. He peeked closely at the little demon who looked so innocent in his sleep, with one little fang poking over his lip.
"Devi, wake up. I'm bored," Aridan pouted, giving the demon a little shake.
"It's three a.m., go to sleep," Devi grumbled, yanking the blanket over his head to hide from his friend, who he knew all too well wouldn't be deterred.
"But I wanna play with you and Silver," Aridan pouted, pouncing on Devi's sleeping form and laying on top of him to weigh him down.
"Are you trying to kill me!" Devi squeaked, shoving Aridan's heavy form off him. Aridan was solid muscle at nearly six feet; Devi was a mere five foot six and barely muscled at all.
"I brought balloons, I thought we'd have a water fight," Aridan grinned at him. In the pitch black all Devi could see were Aridan's glowing golden eyes and his fangs.
"A water fight at three a.m.? I'm up for it. The question is how far can we get before mother kicks our asses?" Devi slid out of the bed, grabbing his clothes. If they were going to do this he would need to be properly dressed for running out of the house on a cold night. Demon's couldn't survive the cold without proper clothes. He slid on his insulated leather pants and a heavier shirt with lace ruffles. Aridan took his cue and started getting dressed as well.
Devi buttoned up his pirate coat and slid some soft cotton gloves on.
"Get your coat on, we're going to have to run for it," Devi snickered. He went into the bathroom and proceeded to quietly fill a handful of water-balloons.
"She's really going to kill us!" Aridan giggled, filling some more balloons.
"Now we have to be really quiet, she wakes easily," Devi whispered. It was his way of telling Aridan to shut up so that he wouldn't blow it.
Together they crept down the hall, Devi had his boots tied together and slung over his shoulder to keep the clunking of them from waking Silver. He would put them on once they were far enough.
If Silver wasn't human he would just cut a portal to escape but it wasn't fun if they didn't at least have a chance at catching him.
They crept into Silver's room. Devi slapped a hand over Aridan's mouth to keep the Forger from giggling with excitement.
Everything went still for a moment as they watched her sleep soundly.
A lopsided grin stretched over Devi's face. He raised the first balloon and then fired. They quickly lobbed all their balloons and then ran.
"What the fuck! You two are going to fucking die!" Silver shrieked, already grabbing her retractable spear and flying out into the hallway, more vicious than a charging bull.
"She's gaining on us!" Aridan squeaked.
Devi grabbed his hand, running as fast as he could as he whipped Aridan through the hall.
He wrapped an arm around Aridan's waist and lunged down the stairwell. His wings were the only thing keeping them from falling to their deaths.
"How long do you think it'll take her to cool off?" Aridan asked, following Devi out into the cold night.
"We can't go back tonight, that's for sure," Devi laughed at the rush in his system.
