𝖁iolet knocked on the door of her father's bedroom, after he had given the orders to her and Yukio, he dismissed them both without another word. She was almost heading to bed but she couldn't go to sleep when she knew there was something bothering him. Violet was going to be away for a couple days and she wouldn't be at ease knowing that her father wasn't entirely well. The purple haired girl waited for her father's permission to enter before she slowly opened the door and closed it behind her once inside. "Dad...?" She quietly called out for her father who was standing in front of the large window in his room with a long lost stare, his hands resting on the back of his thin figure.
Mephisto looked away for a second, his green forest eyes barely sparing a look to his daughter before he looked away. "You should be asleep." He nochantly said to her before looking away from her. He was cold, very distant from her even if it pained him to be that way but he couldn't show how weak he felt at that moment.
"I couldn't go to sleep, no when I know there is something bothering you." She said without moving away from her spot close to the door. "Is this about the mission?" Violet asked, getting straight to the point. When she got no response from him she already knew that that was what was bothering him, the purple haired girl might have been young but she was smarter and more understandable than kids her age. "Dad..." She started saying.
"You should head to bed, Violet." Mephisto said, interrupting whatever her daughter was trying to say to him. "It's better for you to get as much sleep as you can get." He added before turning around to look at her, his green forest eyes finally meeting her purple ones. Those could be the last time he probably would see his daughter but right at that moment he didn't know if he had to live up to his name or her father. Mephisto walked his way close to her, his pale hand carefully caressing her cheek without letting his sharp claw get anywhere near her delicate skin. In his heart, Violet was everything to him but he couldn't bear the thought of losing her or even admit that there was a chance that the one and only thing he feared the most would come true. "We both know how stubborn you get when you don't get enough sleep and that is not good for you in the middle of a mission." He said with a tiny smile.
"I know." Violet said with the same smile as him. "I just wanted to make sure you were okay."
The demon softly laughed at his daughter's statement. "Shouldn't I be the one to be concerned about you?" He said to her with his green forest eyes softening.
"Are you?" She wondered aloud.
Mephisto hugged his daughter, his tall lean figure slightly lowering down to rest his cheek on top of her head. "Of course I am." He softly said while caressing the back of her head. "This time you are going to a mission without Father Fujimoto and you are going to be on your own." He confessed to his daughter.
