She waltzed over to their table with her golden locks bouncing as she proceeded;
"Apologies for the long wait Nexus. I hope dinner was to your liking?"
She stopped when she saw the trays of food untouched. Her eyes went to Nexus questioningly, and he answered diplomatically;
"I hardly think its proper for the guest to begin eating without waiting for the host."
She chuckled as she glanced at Crystal;
"Does your friend agree though? She looks like she could do with a bite or two."
Nexus did not say anything. Nora picked up on the subtext and returned her gaze back to Crystal. She looked pissed, frustrated, and trying to stay off the edge.
"Is something wrong? Nexus, care to enlighten me? Did something happen while I was gone?"
"Well, not something. More like a redheaded someone."
Understanding flashed, and Nora's eyes darkened instantly. She knew the problem even without explanantion. And it had a name;
"So, I see you've met my sister- Monica the menace."
