"IKARIS YOU BASTARD, PUT ME DOWN OR YOU'RE GETTING FIRE TO THE ASS AGAIN!"

"Oh, not this again!" I heard Ajak yell as I tried to break free of Ikaris' grip. "What is going on between you two!?"

"This bastard just assaulted me and dragged me here when I was trying to enjoy my afternoon away from the madness that is this family! Like I have some dignity left, but that's all out the door because he frigging manhandled me here!"

"I'm not manhandling you, Vena." Ikaris scoffed as I punched his back repeatedly trying to break free. "Stop acting like a child."

"I'll stop when you let me go!" I huffed kicking my legs against his abdomen. Ikaris finally set me down on the ground and I kicked his leg walking away. "Asshole!"

"What happened this time?" Druig asked pulling me close to him. "And I don't appreciate you manhandling her, Ikaris. Unless you can live without your hands."

"Okay, there I was, minding my own business-"

"Bullshit!"

"I was! Anyways... there I was enjoying my time alone because I need to restore my sanity, when I saw him and Sersi." I gagged and Kingo gasped pulling me into a hug shielding me from Ikaris.

"Oh no. Did they-"

"THEY WERE! ON THE BEACH I SPEND MY AFTERNOONS TRYING TO GET AWAY FROM ALL OF YOU! IT IS TAINTED NOW!" I yelled and pretended to cry. "I was so scared, Kingo. So scared."

"You two corrupted poor Vena! This is unacceptable!" Kingo gasped and stroked my hair ignoring the laughs from everyone else. "There, there, little Vena. There, there."

"She was corrupted the moment she first opened her eyes!" Ikaris butted. "And Druig corrupted her even more!"

"That's where you're wrong. If it weren't for me, she would be completely unhinged and you'd probably be dead in a ditch somewhere. I'm the voice of reason in this relationship, she's the chaotic one. It's been like that for a thousand years, doubt it'll change now." Druig said and pulled out of Kingo's grasp. "So we have to find a new spot to watch the stars?"

"No, our beach is still okay. That's the beach Makkari and I go to talk shit about all of you and unwind. Now it has been tainted."

"That still doesn't explain why Ikaris carried Vena like a sack." Sprite chuckled. "And where is Sersi?"

"Probably getting sand out of her ass." Makkari smirked and Thena choked on her drink. "Sorry."

"You're fine. I just didn't expect that from you." Thena chuckled wiping her chin.

"This family makes me want to murder people, I swear." Ikaris sighed running a hand through his hair. "And I didn't manhandle her!"

"Yes, you did!" Thena, Makkari, Druig and I signed in unison.

I shook my head at him brushing the hair out of my face when I noticed something missing from my head.

"YOU BASTARD! IT'S MISSING!"

"For the love of the Celestials, what did I do now!?" Ikaris spat at me and took a step back when I stomped towards him. "Easy there, Vena."

"I had a frigging flower crown that the children made me this morning, and it's frigging missing thanks to you manhandling me!" I exclaimed as Druig placed a hand on my shoulder trying to calm me down.

"I'll make you another one, don't kill him. Too many witnesses." He whispered and I smirked when Sersi walked inside fixing her hair.

"I swear, the last thing I saw was Ikaris manhandling Vena and here you all are." Sersi huffed and looked at me. "Didn't the children gave you a flower crown this morning?"
