        The more serious expression melted away as hearty laughter would spill from his lips. “Ahh, poor little Bagworm, I didn’t think you’d fall for it so easy! It really is far easier to get you when Lizard’s not around, innit? Oh, that’s not a good sign!” 

       It wasn’t as fun he’ll admit, as instigating the other in dueling him, but this reaction he got was still worth the effort in getting. “Ahaha, you really should have shown known better. Now that I think of it, where is Alice, anyways? Thought she would have run right in as soon as she heard you give a yell.”

Nightmare spent a good moment just coughing and trying to spit out the specks of sandy dirt in his mouth before paying attention to the knave again. Though he hardly wanted to after that foul trick.

“Your acting is far too convincing, it’s concerning,” he would mumble all the while glaring. More loudly he would respond, “She’s not here as you can clearly tell. She went on her break after work.”

“Special drink?” Alayna asked, blinking a few times as she tried to register the words. She looked down at the canteen still in her hands, her eyes drawn to the red drink. She felt a strong pull towards it, but her curiosity was stronger as she looked back up at her father. “What kind of special drink, Daddy?”

Then another question, “And that means I’m special like you? I don’t really get it, but I’m happy to be like Daddy!”

Giving the canteen back to her father, Alayna wrapped her arms around his neck. Her innocent excitement radiating off of her, having not fully understood the implications of the words spoken to her.

Nightmare internally flinched at the first question. He wasn’t sure he wanted her to know just yet. He felt that she was still too young to know... He decided it would probably be best to not tell her for now, at least not until she started showing further signs of getting heightened senses and whatnot.

He smiled at her, letting out a small huff of air upon being pulled into a hug. “Yes, you are special, my little stardust, ” he agreed, lightly rubbing her back with his free hand. He knew she didn’t understand fully understand what it meant to be a vampire yet, but he prayed that she would not have negative experiences because of it later on.

“If you notice anything else different or feel funny be sure to tell me or mommy alright?”

“Your hair is so soft!” {Miranda}

❀ Things I’ve said to my pets

"Is it?" Nightmare lifted a strand of his own hair up to examine it, but he didn't really have anything to compare it to so he'd just take Miranda's word for it. "Well I think someone as a great as I am would have good hair, so it makes sense," he said with small nods like he said something wise.

Nightmare’s eye would follow Alice as she exited the room. He nearly wanted to call her back and go back on his word, but he knew that it would be best if he didn’t overly depend on her when talking about this subject to their daughter.

He looked back down at Alayna, he wanted to apologize to her for what she had to be going through right now, but instead he sighed. He had to put her first.

Nightmare stood up and walked back to his desk, opening one of the drawers and bringing out a small plastic canteen before turning back to her and hesitantly giving it to her. “I want you to take a small drink of this, don’t take all of it okay? It might taste a little different than the juices you like, but tell me if it makes you less thirsty.”

Alayna glanced at the liquid, and tilted her head curiously at the unusual color. Unable to discern what the drink was, Alayna was hesitant…until her teeth throbbed painfully. She quickly grabbed the canteen and took a sip. Her blue eyes widened at the exquisite taste that she never tasted before, and she took another. She struggled to stop there, but managed. And when she pulled away, she noticed her thirst was less.

“It was tasty, and I’m not as thirsty. Thank you, Daddy!” Alayna chirped, smiling wide. Her teeth flashing in the light.

Nightmare watched her reactions in anticipation and worry. Her double sip of, what most certainly was blood, pretty much confirmed the suspicions; any hope that she would stay completely human was dashed. He was glad she was at least able to resist the temptation to drink more of it as he asked though, that was a good thing, important for the future.

As she flashed her bright smile, Nightmare would take notice of her teeth, particularly her canines and how they were coming in. He would slowly nod and give her a small smile. “I’m glad it helped, but now I have something important to tell you.” He kneeled down to see eye to eye with her. “From now on that drink in your hands will be very important. See, Daddy is special, I’m a vampire, which means I need a special drink to help me not feel thirsty. The drink in your hands is that special drink, and since you can drink it too, that means you’re special as well.” He hopes what he saying is simple enough that Alyana can follow what he’s trying to stay.

Alayna looked back at Alice, worried, but Alice did her best to smile back at Alayna and kissed her on the forehead. 

“It’ll be okay. Daddy will help you. I’m going to go talk to Uncle Gray, okay?” Alice told her in her best reassuring voice. It worked, for Alayna nodded her head and croaked out a tiny, “I love you, Mommy.” When Alice left, Alayna turned back to her father, waiting patiently but still whimpering.

Nightmare’s eye would follow Alice as she exited the room. He nearly wanted to call her back and go back on his word, but he knew that it would be best if he didn’t overly depend on her when talking about this subject to their daughter.

“I know, life is so unfair, isn’t it?” “I know baby, life is so hard for you.” “You just want attention, don’t you?” “I’m a little busy right now, my love.” “Okay pretty lady, I see you.” “Why do you have to be so loud?” “You’re just a chatterbox, aren’t you?” “What? Why are you looking at me like that?” “What do you want now?” “Hey!… Hey!!… Stop that.” “You’re just the sweetest thing!!” “I love you so much.” “Thank you, I needed that.” “Why are you so cute? This isn’t fair.” “No, you can’t make me do tha– okay FINE!” “You’re giving me that look like it’s gonna change my mind.” “Okay you’ve changed my mind.” “You have the biggest and most prettiest eyes, did you know that?” “You’re so spoiled and it’s all my fault.” “You look so happy to see me!” “Don’t get too excited now.” “What? Why are you yelling at me?” “Are you hungry?” “Come here, my love, it’s okay.” “It’s just thunder, don’t be afraid. I’m right here.” “You’re heavier than I remember.” “Your hair is so soft!”

Alayna thought hard about it, trying to piece together everything Gray was saying in her young mind. Then she nodded, a genuine smile crossing her face, though it was a slightly tired, too. “Okay! Thank you, Uncle Gray!” she hugged his arm, and then went back to devouring her hot chocolate.

“Of course.” Gray’s smile widen at the hug, happy to see her brighten back up. Though going back to enjoying his cup he fully realized what his promise to the young girl entailed and inwardly sighed. The things he does for these two.

When they were done with their drinks, he took both cups and set them into the empty sink before turning back to Alayna. “Now then, what would you like to do young lady? Do you wish to return to Lord Nightmare’s office?” Gray was about ninety percent sure that Nightmare was sulking and down in the dumps just about now, and having the two makeup would be sure to improve everyone’s moods here, but it was up to Alayna for that.

Merfolk Adventures

@asicklydreamdemon

Alayna glided through the water, entertaining herself with her exasperated babaysitters. Making them give chase as she speedily swam through gaps in the rocks that the adults had a harder time fitting through. Giggling to herself, she sprinted around another corner, and running right into a wall. Oof!

Alayna recoiled a little, placing her hand on her forehead. It really hurt, and she could feel tears welling up. Hiccups starting from trying not to cry, her babysitters finally caught up. Trying to soothe her, they barely got more than a few words out and a few second hug before Alayna’s father turned up.

[asicklydreamdemon]

Nightmare glanced around as he swam, trying to spot where his little girl and her caretakers had wandered off to. When asked he was pointed to somewhere around here but where? “There!” He had finally found them by some rock formations, but as he neared he found his pace speeding up when he heard her hiccups echoing.

Arriving by them, his sight immediately darts towards Alayna. His eye narrowed in concern as he tried to scan for the problem, which seemed to be her forehead based on the redness of it. “What happened here?” He demanded finally sparing a glance towards her babysitters.

‧̍̊·̊‧̥°̩̥˚̩̩̥°̩̥‧̥·̊‧̍̊ ♡ °̩̥˚̩̩̥°̩̥ ·͙̩̩͙˚̩̥̩̩̩̥·̩̩̥̩̩̥˚̩̥̩̩̩͙‧͙ °̩̥˚̩̩̥°̩̥ ♡ ‧̍̊·̊‧̥°̩̥˚̩̩̥°̩̥‧̥·̊‧̍̊ Well.. she supposed it was true.. She definitely wasn’t from here and had been wandering around a bit lost.. Needless to say it didn’t help with why she was so jumpy and a little sensitive to having been watched for a bit. Still, she played with her dress anxiously for a moment before looking at him and giving a nod of her head slowly.  “Yes.. I’m a bit lost.. I’m trying to go home but.. I don’t even know where I am.. Let alone where home is.. Ah.. D-Do you mind letting me know where this is?” 

“Why of course, this is Wonderland. If you want to be more specific, this is the Country of Clover. Though as an outsider I’m afraid your way home may be a bit... difficult.”

He could sense her anxiety and unfortunately a direct way back to where ever she had come from was out of reach at the moment. Usually for an outsider to come here it required them to want to come here, there’s no doubt this was the case whether she realized it or not. The least he could do was help her for now. “You’re lucky you came here when you did, we just recently moved. Who knows what barbarians you would’ve come into contact with had it been otherwise.”

“That sounds great!” Miranda chirped, excited to dig into the chocolatey goodness that was her pie. She followed Nightmare outside to a slightly more secluded outdoor table, and sat down with her purchase. She waited for him to get settled before opening up the box, picked up her fork, and broke off a bite. “Mmm~” she moaned, relishing the taste of the chocolate and whipped cream.

Upon getting settled he excitedly opened his own box. It had been awhile since he had gotten to eat an eclair since Gray would usually ward him away from the sweets shop always declaring that ‘it was unhealthy, and would aggravate his condition.’ Well, one little eclair after so long wouldn’t hurt him.

Taking the eclair in hand he took a bite. His eye practically sparkled as he savored the chocolate and the cream in his mouth before swallowing. “Ahh, this is so good, isn’t it? I would say this is probably one the best bakeries in the territory.”

[infinitxlives]

“You have the sweetest smile I’ve ever seen.” {Hello again :D you can decide who he's talking to.}

Miranda paused, blinking rapidly at the blindsiding statement. She didn’t expect that from her role holder friend. Especially since she was a faceless. Someone whose face was destined to remain obscure.After the fact registered, she couldn’t help but feel slightly embarrassed. Or maybe it was just shyness. She felt her cheeks warm slightly as she replied with, “Thanks, Nightmare. That means a lot.”

Miranda contemplated on the different seasons that came with April Season, then slowly opened her mouth, “I think each season has it’s charms and it’s faults. Personally, even though winter is cold, it gives me an excuse to curl up by the fire and read. There’s just something romantic of having all the lights off and reading by the light of the fire. “Though, for socializing, I much prefer spring over summer. Summer’s just too hot, and I feel like I’m melting into a very gross puddle.”

Nightmare thought over her words. He did rather like curling up into a bundle of blankets whenever it got cold, and Gray’s hot cocoa always tasted best when cozily drank by the furnace, so maybe she had a point with that.

He chuckled. “Heh, I have to agree with that, but don’t you think going to the pool or the beach to cool down and have some ice cream much more enjoyable in summer?” A pause. “Does this mean you enjoy Spring and Fall the most?”

[asicklydreamdemon]

“  do you believe me now?  ” {Reply to this whenever, also from Miranda.}

Despite all of his denial of refusing to believe her there was no way he could refute this now, especially with the proof presented to him. "Yes, fine. I believe you now," he replied, crossing his arms with a pout. Honestly! If he wasn’t so stubborn he would’ve believed her with just her words, yet here they are.

“I still don’t see why you couldn’t have just explained it more,” he muttered.

[infinitxlives]

“If I explained it more, would you have listened?” Miranda shot back automatically. “You were pretty adamant about not listening in the first place.”

She sighed before smiling wryly. “Well, what’s important is that you believe me now.”

[asicklydreamdemon]

“I would’ve listened,” he huffed knowing full well he probably wouldn’t have listened, but that doesn’t mean he was about to admit it.

“I suppose...” His shoulders relaxed as he uncrossed his arms, less on the defensive now. “So? Did you need my help with this, did you just want me to see it, or...?”

“Nightmare!” Alice felt somewhat relieved, and immediately went straight to his arms. Hugging him tightly helped her feel more at ease. The guilt started to build up in her mind, however. The images of the recent disaster flipped through her mind, and she knew that her husband would pick out what happened. For once, she was glad she didn’t have to say things out loud.

He blinked, surprised by her practically tackle hugging him. Where was this coming from? He got his answer sooner than he’d thought, as he sees the memory flash through her mind. Before he realizes it he’s shaking, his hold on Alice’s arms tightening. Is this anger? Concern? He didn’t know. It was all jumbling up, but his priority was his daughter and wife. “T-that- But you’re okay right? And Alayna is going to fine? She’s not staying like that permanently?”
