Confrontation with Nero 7

For the first time since they came here, Aliah didn't receive an answer from her son.

"Nero?" she said. "Do not— I told you to stop trying to prank me!"

Prank — a new term that she just learned because her dutiful son would always use it on her. For some reason, Nero found it entertaining to watch her get upset over something that he just made up for the sake of annoying her.

He would laugh and laugh and laugh until she used her magick to silence him!

"This isn't funny, Nero!" she hissed, extremely irritated at her very own son. "Where are you!?" she asked.

"Nero, answer me!"

"Nero!? This isn't funny!"

"If I see you— "

"You better not come!"

"You know what? I am tired! You better not see me again!"

Her unsightly expression turned even uglier as she finished her wine and poured herself another glass. Nero had been spending too much time on Earth instead of staying here! He had been enjoying everything too much!
