"I'm not going anywhere until I get some answers," she says. "Devero, I have been worried about you! Why won't you tell me what's going on?"
He looks away from her. "Have you?" he asks.

"Have you been worried about me?" he asks again, the interruption of his deep voice so unexpected that she shuts up to stare at him. "Or have you just missed your obedient fucking toy!?"
The last few words roar out of him accompanied by smoke and his fingers on Koumyou's shoulder grip hard. Valdana rocks back a single step and then glares at Devero, taken aback.
"Don't you dare take that tone of voice with me, boy," she snaps. "Who do you think you are? Who do either of you think you are?!"
