The Well of Change

After Nyx finally let the girls down, the first thing they did was run straight into their husband's arms.

Sif started to move aside and make way for them, but in a surprising turn of fate, Abaddon held onto them both. 

"Nyx told us you're having some difficulties, but she never mentioned things were this bad." The girls said quietly. 

Abaddon hung his head low. "There might have been certain... developments after she left to retrieve you."

The girls' eyes suddenly became solid orange. 

"... I really don't want to ruin the mood here but watching you talk with no mouth is so fascinating." Bekka said. 

The rest of the girls quickly regained control and snapped at her. "Bekka!"

"Shit, sorry!"

Despite his lack of lips, it was easy to tell that Abaddon was amused. 

So much so that he was already beginning to feel better, if even just a little bit. 

"Are you calmer now?" Sif asked.

"Yes..? How can you tell?"
