"What?!" Alexandra yelped. "NO!" She flailed, hands shooting up to shove Nyx's face away with all the dignity of a woman being bullied by an affectionate demon. "Stop messing with me!"
Luna slowly looked between the two of them. "Wait. Hold on. Did you two have something going on in your teens or what? Some secret academy romance?"
"What?!" Alexandra shrieked, twisting halfway around. "No! Absolutely not! This nasty woman is just messing with me!" She growled under her breath, pushing harder at Nyx's face. "And why are you so strong?!"
Nyx chuckled, barely budging. "I am a level forty-something space babe."
"That is NOT fair!"
Aria was openly giggling now. Bastet watched with amused, narrowed eyes, tail swishing. Even Kaiden raised an eyebrow, clearly wondering if he'd walked into the middle of a sitcom. He found it curious how Alexandra didn't show signs of any PTSD surfacing, despite Nyx's actions.
He wondered if it was because of her gender.
