Numair seemed to be restless the rest of the day. As they were walking out of the barn Daine promised him that she'd make this morning up to him. His parents still refused to like her. It was starting to drive him mad. His parents couldn't find a single good thing in her. Gabby thought she was spoiled and refused o realize that she was the one that was soiled. His mother thought she was a slut who wanted his money. If his father had something against Daine he hadn't said anything else. Numair looked over at his father, who was in his workroom with him. Turning back to his book he asked him.

'Father what do you think of Daine?' He asked.

'She's smart, pretty, kind.' He replied.

'You didn't finish.' Numair turned to look at his father.

'She seems like there is nothing to put her in a bad mood.' He replied. 'I've never met anyone like that.'

'Unless one of the animals dies or you say they're not important. Then you get to watch her cry.' Numair said.

'And she knows that's they way to get what she wants.' Dicard smiled. Daine seemed like that kind of girl. She had every thing that she wanted, but a present now and then wouldn't hurt her.

'Or you feel really bad.' Numair shook his head. 'She doesn't really cry to get what she wants though.'

'I doubt that.' Dicard replied.

'Unless she's trying to get you to let her keep an animal or get a puppy.'

'Ha, you're kidding.' Dicard looked up at his son.

'You can't get her into a dress, because about ten seconds later she gets bored and wants to go outside or into the woods.' Numair shook his head. 'She's nothing like Gabby and her friends.'

'Thank the gods.' Dicard muttered. Numair laughed. He knew that his father thought Gabby was spoiled and his mother was over bearing. 'I don't think I could stand another one.'

'Numair,' Daine called.

'oh, no,' He said under his breath.

'What?'

'you know how I told you she only tries to get certain things?'

'Yes?'

'Well you about to see what I meant.'

'Numair.' Daine came to the door.

'Yes Magelet.' He replied.

'Can we pretty please get a puppy?' Daine looked as sweet as she could. Dicard tried not to laugh. His son was right. Daine wanted one thing and one thing only, a puppy.

'No.' He replied.

'Why?' Diane pouted. Numair looked up at her.

'Because then you'll want a kitten, then a tiger, than a wolf, then something else. No.'

'Oh, but I promise I only want a puppy.'

'That's what you said when I let you keep kit.'

'That's different!' Daine replied, her sweetness had instantly faded away.

'Is not.' Numair muttered.

'Fine be that way.' Daine stormed up to bed.

'She's a hand full.' Dicard laughed.

'She'll be fine in five minutes.' Numair sighed.

'I still think you should seriously consider marrying her.' Nitasha said coming in.

'I already have mother.'

'She's so spoiled.' Gabby said, making sure to hold so for a while.

'Compared to you?' Numair asked.

'She is.' Gabby stuck out her tongue.

'Gabby, you do realize that you're the biggest spoiled brat that ever lived.'

'Mother!' Gabby cried.

'Arram, you are making a huge mistake. Have you realized that.' Nitasha said. 'You're about to throw away your entire future, with her.' She sounded disgusted.

'Mother, if you have a problem with Daine then leave. I don't care if you come to the wedding or not. I love and I'm marrying her, weather you like it or not.'

Gabby's and Nitasha's mouths opened. Numair stormed out of the workroom. He didn't care that Diane was kind of mad at her. He was going to bed her just because it was going to bug his mother.
