Melia
Demitri blinked, then collapsed on the floor, pounding his fist agains tthe tile in a childish fit. "My honor! Damn you Melia! You destroyed it!" In fetal position he continued to scream his curses, acting like an over grown toddler throwing a tantrum because he didn't get his own way. "Damn you! Damn you all!" Melia watched with mild interest, and distain for that matter, as he stood up and pointed an accusing finger at her. "I'm just rusty is all you... you... meek girl you!" He held that position for a few moments, he's face colored red with fury. Melia meet his eyes, issueing a challange, them silently saying 'And just what are you going to do about it?' though no true words were exchanged.
A moment passed and Demitri seemed to gain control of himself again, clearing his throat and covering, "Yes..." which Melia had now come to realize that this was what he said when at a loss for further words. Something to cover the silence. Then suddenly, he did something Melia hadn't expected. He began to laugh! First a little chuckle, then a small laugh, then a full out gahaw! "Heh.... heh heh... HAHAHAHA!" He laughed loudly for a short time, walking forwards and putting a firm hand on her shoulder. Melia's eyes were wide behind her glasses as she was unsure what to think, or whether she ought to be scared for her life.
"It would seem your not as weak as I first thought eh? In fact considering you look... decent without the glasses and hair ties," when Demitri smiled down at her, a true smile, Melia could feel her heart rate quicken. Why? She didn't want to pin it on a sudden attraction to her arrogant guardian, so she reasoned that it was more frightening than his usual smirk. "AND considering the fact that you won't just lay down and take things," he continued, "I think that you might, MIGHT just be close to being just below the rank of being almost worthy of my amazing and overall incredible nature!" Melia bit back a sigh of exasperation. 'Well, it's a step in the right direction.' Melia thought, 'And it's better than nothing.'
Gently he reatched up with his other hand and removed the glasses from her face. Melia held still, but rolled her eyes as the kitchen and living room became blurry colored shapes again. Though she couldn't see clearly, Melia could tell that Demitri's smirk had returned. This was a small relief. "But that was a cheap shot..." he said as if he had brushed the whole event aside, then turned his voice more sarcastic and cutting. "Trust me if you try that again mistress it won't go so well for you... in fact I might just turn into a giant fish and eat you. At this, Melia DID roll her eyes. As long as the ring rested upon her finger, she doubted that he would do any serious harm to her. But then again, perhaps she was being over confident...
Pulling herself from those dark thoughts, Melia saw Demitri's arm that held her glasses make a throwing motion. "Hey Quill, do me a favor; catch." Melia jolted forward as he tossed them, but found Demitri's arm still on her shoulder. In a sudden burst of frustration she knocked his hand off of her and grabbed his wrist, turning in a way that twisted his arm behind his back rather painfully. She heard him gasp in surprise and mild pain. Had she brought down her own elbow onto his while she arm was being held like this, it could have easily broken the bones. But this was not Melia's intention, only to prove a point and quickly get past him.
"My name is Melia. Not Mistress." she said seriously, giving the boy a small push, brushing past him as she walked towards the one she assumed he had thrown her glasses at. In her near-blindness she managed to only stumble over the coffee table; a small error from which she recovered quickly. Offering a rather sheepish smile she looked in the general area his eyes would be located. "May I have those back please?" she asked kindly, hoping that this brother wasn't nearly as troublesome as the one she'd gotten stuck with. Oliva had gone to bed, so she had no back up plan in case this one though it'd be funny to tease her. "I sort of need them to see." she added with a small, only half forced laugh.
