Between Mother and Daughter:
Diane woke up earlier than she thought. It was just after dawn when Diane finally got up. She could hear her mother down stairs; she was arguing with one of the servants. Daine smiled, she had never heard her mother boss someone other than her around. When she walked into the kitchen her mother was scolding the cook.
'I have never, nor will never, ever want to see this for breakfast.' Sarra was saying.
'But, my lady, Lady Draper-' the cook tried to tell her.
'I don't care. Fix eggs, ham and toast.' The cook nodded and walked away.
'Are you actually scolding someone other than me?' Daine asked.
'I should scold you too for that comment.' He mother gave her a not funny look.
'Oh, but Ma.' Daine put on her best I'm-you-sweet-little-girl look.
'Don't give me that look. Are you hungry?' Sarra turned to the stove.
'Will you even listen if I say no?' Daine said sitting on the counter.
'Um, No.' Sarra turned with a smile. 'Off the counter.'
'Numair lets me.' Daine began, knowing she wasn't going to win.
'Well you do a lot of things with Numair don't you?' Sarra replied. Daine blushed and got off the counter.
'Very funny Ma.' She muttered.
'Here eat it all.' Sarra set a plate of eggs, ham and toast in front of her. Daine sighed mentally. Nothing would ever change her mother, not even becoming a goddess.
Hunter came bounding into the kitchen and skidded to a stop next to the stove. Sarra looked back at the doorway and gave him a piece of ham. Daine smiled and Sarra put a finger to her lips. Both women tried not to giggle as a very happy Hunter ate his treat. Weiryn came into the kitchen just as Hunter finished. He looked at Hunter suspiciously and looked at his daughter.
'Veralidaine, what did you give him?' He asked.
'Nothing.' She replied. 'I swear.'
'Are you lying?' He raised an eyebrow.
'No!' She cried.
'About what.' A very not awake Numair came to the door.
'He thinks I gave Hunter something.' She replied.
'She probably did.' Numair said.
'I didn't!' She wasn't happy, 'Ma!'
'Oh, Weiryn I gave Hunter a piece of ham. Stop picking on your daughter.' She set two more plates of food on the table.
Numair sat down next to Daine and put his arm around her. Weiryn didn't look pleased by the fact that Daine was content to have him wrap her up in his arms. Then again, she did a lot of things he didn't like. Like tell dogs not to hunt, sleep with the mage, baby wolfs.
'Done.' Daine said getting up. 'I'm going outside.'
'To the barn to take care of that horse you begged me for.' Sarra replied.
'I was going to the barn anyway.'
'Don't you have things to do too?' Sarra looked at Numair.
'Surprisingly no.' He replied. 'I'll go with Daine.'
'Last one out is a rotten egg.' Daine called.
'Nice analogy,' Numair muttered.
'See Weiryn, they're perfect for each other. Just like the prophecy said.' Sarra told the god.
'That's why I don't like him. Something happens to him and she'll never be happy again.' The god sighed. He pulled her into his lap.
'That's why you're always so over protective.' Sarra teased 'You don't want her hurt.
'I'm her father, I'm I supposed to want her hurt.' He looked at her. Sarra kissed him.
'Admit it, you like him.' She smiled.
'Sadly.'
Sarra laughed and got up to do the dishes. Weiryn was just going to have to live with the fact that he actually likes someone other than Daine and me.

Daine ran into the barn and shut the door behind her. Hearing Numair coming behind her, she ran up into the loft and hit there. She shed her winter jacket and undid a couple of ties on her dress.
'Okay you win. Come here.' Daine looked over the edge to see Numair taking off his robe and his shirt. She didn't respond. 'I know you're in here.' He teased.
Daine moved to the corner of the loft and stayed completely quiet. She heard Numair walk around to all of the stales and sigh. Numair looked up above him and he knew where she was. He magically locked the door to the ban and walked up the stairs. He tried to be quiet. Looking around he didn't see her. He turned his back and heard something make a small move. He walked to the back of the loft acting like he was still looking for her. He knew where she was now. He walked around so she couldn't see him. Daine couldn't move or else her find her. Out of now where Numair grabbed her from behind. She tired not to screech when he tickled her. Numair tickled her for a few minutes than pinned her to the ground.
'You've been a very bad girl.' He whispered against her ear. Diane let out a small whimper. His hands moved up her skirts. 'What should we do about that?'
Numair undid her ties with a smile. Suddenly the doors opened. Numair magiced on his shirt and picking her up he began to tickle her. Weiryn walked into the barn looking unhappy. Daine wiggled out of Numair grip and laughing she ran down the stairs. She hid behind her father.
'What are you two doing?' HE asked when Numair who was also laughing came to the stairs.
'Tickling your daughter.' He replied thought his laughter. Weiryn shook his head.
'You two amaze me.'
