Archi watched Nyx set the table. He sighed, and sat down while she served him his dinner.
"Mother.. I would like to tell you something please."
"Yes?" She arched her brows, still concentrated on what she was doing.
He inhaled deeply, bracing himself for an outburst of emotions.
"I.. am going back to the palace in a few days."
She whipped her head up, and gave him a hard stare, "What?"
He shrugged, "I am going back to the palace," he repeated, his voice a little more firm.
"Why? What do you want to do there?"
He looked away, "I would like to finish something that has already started."
She completely stopped serving him, and stood akimbo, "You are not going back there, I have already told you.."
"We left the palace all those years ago. How would that danger you are talking about even still be lurking around?"
She stopped, and continued serving him, "You are not going back there, and that is final."
