As Aquarina found herself grounded by her parents due to having worried them so much and having come super late last night, she quickly remembered she hadn't even been given the chance to explain her circumstances.
"I'll explain to you what happened first! You didn't even let me!"
As she said that, her parents were slightly surprised, they had indeed not even listened to her. Perhaps their anger mixed with frustration and concern might have made them too grumpy, because they sent her straight to her bed after she arrived and was reprimanded.
"Sure, go ahead…" Nepheline sighed. "But don't think that some little story is going to convince us to change our minds.
"Hmm," Shade nodded. "Well, it's up to your mother, if it were up to me I wouldn't really-"
"Dear?" Nepheline glared at Shade with a strict and stoic expression, Shade quickly felt paralyzed by her presence, a grumpy mother was not to be messed with.
