“Why did you take Daddy away?!” Duff finally shouted, unable to remain silent any longer. “Where did you take him!? What are you doing to him!?” ((I apologize for that crappy post))

[Don't worry about it, XP]
"I am unsure for the reason your father was taken away," Blair replied in all honesty, a sad smile crossing her face. "He is most likely in jail. Do not fear we are not harming him, he is getting plenty of food and water." In truth Blair had no idea if he was in jail or had been executed. She didn't even know the kids name yet. "Might I know your name, younge one?"

Duff again sidestepped closer to Selcette, unsure of himself. It showed in his face. Euan had told him never to give his name to strangers. Then again, he had also said that if a guard ever asked him a question, he was supposed to answer it. He had said that he should trust the guard. Why was he supposed to trust guards? He didn’t know. “I’m… I’m Duff,” he said meekly, shrinking down a bit as if to hide.

The smile on Blair's face brightened, she had a name now. "Duff, thats a very nice name. My name is Blair Averill, but you can just call me Blair," she said in the sweetest voice she could. She had so many questions she wanted to ask him, though if she did it would probably only frighten him even more. So she decided to take it slow, after all with her here Selcette would do anything dangerous. She hoped.

“Hmm, so you took Daddy away, huh?” Selcette grinned at her archenemy slyly and composedly, raising an amused eyebrow. “Ah, siete un peccato, Blair. Acting your age is no fun. Plus, I doubt someone such as you would know more than I. You’re just a human.” Not that Sel had much of a problem with humans, but they always thought they knew everything. Which, in her eyes, was foolish.

"Humans have the same chances to gain knowledge on things as do demons," Blair looked up at Selcette, unlike her foe she wasn't grinning. "I'm not letting you cause anymore pain to Duff, so step aside, Selcette."

“Scusilo? Me?” Selcette let out an innocent, childish giggle, still smiling at her enemy and not budging. “Dolore di causa a Duff? Did you hear that, Marmo? She thinks that I caused pain to the boy.” She looked down at her stuffed rabbit with an even more amused expression, then turned back to Blair. “You’re ridiculous. As I said before, I have done nothing but help him. You and your kind took his father away.” The satisfied smirk kept on her face, watching the dark-haired girl contently.

"Yes that may be true," Blair paused to stand up and now looked down on her archfoe, being taller. "But, we also protect him from people like you. I know your up to something, if not causing chaos then something." Her eyes narrowed, if Duff wasn't there then this would be a great chance to fight the Head of Shadow Knights.

“Ah, Blair, dearest, you judge too quickly.” Holding out a finger, a small ball of dark magic rotated on it for a moment, Selcette examining it with little interest. “Never predict what your enemy is going to do, for you never know when they will do the unpredictable. Non ci è la definizione assoluta fra luci ed ombre; I do love my chaotic happenings but at times there are moments to be civil. Especially with such a precious little seedling around.” With that, the dark ball disappeared and she brought her hand back to Marmo, a smile still on her face.

Duff really had no idea what was going on. Selcette and Blair seemed to know each other. They didn't seem to be friends, either. And... was it just him, or were they fighting over him. He backed away a bit, unsure of himself. "Uh...."

"I don't predict, I make reasonable solutions." Blair replied, resisting the urge to glare at her foe. She noticed that Duff had back up some, it seemed she failed not to frighten him. "Duff, why don't you come with me? Get you some food and a warm place to stay," her voice took on a warm mother's tone, it worked with other kids maybe it would work with him too.

Selcette rolled her eyes. “Psh, ‘some food and a warm place to stay’? Duff, caro bambino, she’s part of the guard. She’ll probably take you away to some place bad just like your daddy. Except maybe a special area just for kids, so you probably won’t get to see him.” She turned back to Duff with a knowledgeable look, and then turned back to Blair, a hand on her hip. “The guard are nothing but contradictory. They’re worse liars than the street salesmen. And, on top of that, even if your little words take the blame for things, dearest Blair Averill, it doesn’t show anything.”

Duff backed away a bit more, becoming more unsure as things went along. “Uh… uh…” he whined pitifully, looking back and forth between Selcette and Blair. He bit his bottom lip, and brought his hands together in front of himself to clutch the chocolate bar he still had in his hands, the way a child would grip a stuffed animal or blanket. He seemed to be cowering. “I don’t know you…” he muttered in a slightly whiny, frightened voice. Don’t talk to strangers… that’s what Euan had always told him.

"If you don't like something about the guards then try to get a meeting with my boss, the King." Blair said glaring at Selcette, forgetting about te fact that Duff was being even more frightened. "I'm trying to fix the problems everyday. I protect people, put my life on the line every day. What are you doing for the good of the people? Oh yeah, nothing."

“I don’t need to do anything for the good of the people; it’s not my duty or job.” Selcette stated simply, shrugging with a casual smile. She turned to face Duff with the same smile, shaking her head for a moment. “Hey, caro bambino, Duff dear. I know you don’t know me, and you’re free to do whatever you want. But remember, I’m here whenever you need me.” She kept her eyes on the little boy with a wise look.
