She thinks the worst part of her visit to Daemos is the lack of color. Despite Asch's efforts to make people more tolerant and his changing of the rules, it's still nowhere near as nice as Earth. She wishes Ava could be with her as she stays in the castle while she works through things with Asch, trying to motivate him once again due to Pierce's request. "You could come visit Earth again. Maybe being there for a few days will help you out?" The king stares at her, his hands crossed in front of his face.

"We both know I wouldn't come back," he mumbles, and she can see him force back a frown.

"Even then, you know she's not the boss of you. And maybe not coming back wouldn't be so bad."

"You're only saying that because you hate it here, Ligh."

"Don't you?" There's a charged moment of silent, defiant eyes meeting resigned acceptant ones. "What's so much better about this place? You hated this place. All you did was complain about it. Why come back when Earth is just right there? Where you could pretend you weren't royalty and just let loose and be yourself? Where you could let yourself grow and be happy?" She holds back on mentioning Sarah, just so she doesn't spill about Charlie's existence. She still doesn't feel he deserves to know after being gone for so long, but she also doesn't want to make him angry.

"Ligh I couldn't just leave behind my responsibilities here. It didn't matter if no one on Earth cared who I am, because I wasn't really looking for a fresh start. I just wanted to see if I could help Daemos, and I did." They maintain eye contact for a few more seconds before she looks away, getting out of her chair and heading for the door. Before she opens it, she looks over her shoulder and sighs.

"Fine, your highness. I hope you enjoy the you you're forced to be. I'm going home." She wants to mention how he said ‘did’ and not ‘I am’. It just speaks about how there’s nothing more he can do without a horrible amount of pushback.

Making the portal back to Earth is draining, and she feels quite tired afterwards, but she stumbles through, leaning against the wall of a building when she appears in an alley. She feels a bit under the weather, but she hides her horns and makes her way back to her apartment, managing to keep herself moving in the crowd.

When she does get home, she climbs up the stairs and to her apartment, pulling out the keys and unlocking the door. She glances at the clock, and realizes there's still a few hours before Ava comes home. She slides off her shoes and locks the door once again before walking into the living room and flopping down on the couch. She figures a short nap couldn't hurt, and lets her eyes flutter close. She can faintly hear voices from the radio from Avery's room, letting them help lull her to sleep.

She wakes up when she hears the door unlock, her long blonde hair a huge mess as she sleepily stares at the door, rubbing some of the sleep from her eyes. She slowly comes to process that Ava has returned home, and a smile tugs at her lips. She slides her legs off the couch, getting up and making her way to Ava, who's busy setting her stuff on the counter.

Just as she gets to the other woman, Ava turns and looks up at her, a smile on her face. "Glad to see you're back," she mumbles, wrapping her arms around Ligh's neck, standing on her tippy toes to accomplish this task. She leans down a bit to make it easier, wrapping her arms around Ava's waist before gently kissing her.

"I missed you," she mumbles, how tired she is evident in her voice, and Ava gives a small laugh, looking up at her lover.

"I missed you too. Try not to leave for a week again, it was so boring without you." Ava puts emphasis on the last word, and it warms the daemos’ heart. She missed this so much, just being able to hold the other close and stare into her eyes. She’s glad to be able to come home to someone who loves her, and someone who makes her happy.

"I'll try not to," she whispers, before kissing the other woman again, happy to know she’s in a house of love and acceptance.
