Embrace

All while the queen was talking with Andromeda the king was glaring at her. Eventually Andromeda turned and said "What!?"

The king hearing her asking him said "You killed my son, my only son! I am pissed off!"

Andromeda sneered and said "You should have at least taught him not to make unnecessary enemys. Just make another, except teach them etiquette and manners before letting them loose on the world!"

The king stuttered while trying to speak through his rage for a while before sighing in defeat and leaving the room with a lifeless look in his eyes. Andromeda looked towards the queen again and said "Sorry about that, he was glaring at me."

The queen sighed and said "He really did love that child of ours. he wouldn't even let me teach the kid."

After talking for a while longer Andromeda left the castle and slowly made her way back to the store that Daedalus was at. Arriving Andromeda walked in and found Daedalus unconscious against a newly made couch with a few bottles of alcohol around him. Andromeda looked to Darl with a concerned and questioning look on her face. Darl looked over and sighed before saying "I asked him if he wanted a drink. It turned into a competition and he lost badly."

Andromeda laughed for a minute before saying "No worries I will take him back with me."

Darl nodded and said "Good night!"

Andromeda said the same and left the store heading to the house that they had been staying for a few days.

As she made her way back to the house, with Daedalus on her back, Daedalus woke up and started talking with a drunken slur "Oh Andromeda where were you? Nevermind, why am I on your shoulders?"

Andromeda sighed and replied saying "Your drunk, now stop moving about unless you want me to drop you!"

Daedalus immediately stopped moving around and shortly after began snoring lightly in to her shoulder. Andromeda sighed and picked up her pace towards the house.

After arriving at the house Andromeda layed Daedalus down gently on to the sofa. As she was standing back up Andromeda looked down at Daedalus' slightly blushed, due to alcohol, sleeping face. As she looked at his face Andromeda felt her heart start beating rapidly. She quickly calmed down however before she could walk away she felt her wrist being held.

As she looked back over to see what had grabbed her wrist, she realised that Daedalus had grabbed her wrist and was pulling her towards him. Before she could do anything more she was pulled into his embrace. At first she thought he was going to do something, however she looked and saw that he was still asleep.

Andromeda tried to get out of his embrace without waking him up, however she quickly realised that his arms where like a prison of warmth that she could not escape. Andromeda sighed as she did not want to wake him up. Andromeda eventually fell asleep in his arms with a smile on her face.
