"He is my brother, my twin," Sombra replies calmly. "And we are part of each other. He won't turn away from me." She looks up and smirks at Light. "No matter how much affection he holds for you, he holds at least as much for me. Ask Celesta if you don't believe me... Oh wait, you drove her away didn't you?"

"Get out," Light growled in a voice that was growing a little louder.
Illuminous shook her head, wanting both women out of Shadow's room. So she did what she does best; snapping her fingers, she 'painted' everything in the room in so many eye-searingly clashing colors that Light found her own eyes watering and she was forced to leave unless she wanted to carry on with her eyes shut.

Sombra hisses in pain and stalks out, not even pausing to glare at Illuminous - it's too painful. Outside of the room, she hisses at Light, "That brat of yours is a menace."

Illuminous smugly shuts the door and wills the colors of the room into muted, calming shades. "Daddy," she sighed, resting her head on the bed.
"Actually," Light said as she rubbed her eyes, "I think she's more brilliant than you or me." She glanced at Naberius, who trotted to stand at Sombra's side obediently and shuddered. She decided to head home before she clawed out Sombra's eyes in a fit of rage.

Sombra scowls then gestures for Naberius to follow her before stalking back off to her side of the realm. "We'll have to see what I can do for you later," she mutters to the fallen angel. "You're not much use to me like this."

Inside his room, Shadow groans softly as he begins to wake up. "Ugh..."

"Daddy!" Illuminous squeals, sitting up. "How do you feel? Are you okay?"
"Demetria had many uses for me," Naberius remarked coolly, then wished he could take it back. The kinds of uses Demetria had for him would give him nightmares replicated on Sombra. He shuddered at the thought. "And what do you mean 'like this'?"

"Never you mind," Sombra replies, grimacing, as she walks into the library. "Go stand in the corner and be quiet." Orders given, Sombra begins to look over the shelves, looking for a book. "Don't speak unless you're told to," she adds.

"My head is killing me," Shadow admits. "Not so loud please Lumi."

Naberius rolls his eyes, plopping down in a corner. He shuts his eyes and smirks, remaining very quiet.. except for the mental monologue he speaks to Demetria, reporting on all that's happened.
"Sorry," she lowers her voice, giving him a little kiss to the forehead. "Good thing I got Mom and Sombra out then. They were a hair away from strangling each other, and in your own room too."

Shadow sighes. "Those two will never get along, I fear," he mutters, shaking his head. "Thank you for calming things down sweetie."

"I do my best," she said quietly, resting her hand over his. "I'm surprised that you're taking the news of mother's return so, erm... well." That's a word for it. "Darkness was starting to get fidgety. You know, when you're feeling better, I think I might want to discuss a plan to get them on better ground together."

Shadow rubs his head and mutters, "This headache is too bad for me to add to it by taking anything badly. As long as your mother is safe, that's all that matters." Sitting up slowly, Shadow considers Illuminous' suggestion and sighes. "Lumi, dear, Celesta and I have tried that for years."

"That doesn't mean I can't arrange it," she scoffed. "I have any number of ideas, though I don't think you'd agree with all of them." Her eyes sparkled at that. She had one in particular she really doubted Shadow would agree with. "I'm sorry I bothered you, Father, get some rest. But do be careful. Sombra is on the prowl."

Shadow sighes just a little. "She always is," he murmurs. "Do you know what she wants?"

Illuminous's eyes were piercingly fierce as she regarded her father a moment before answering, "What else? You of course."

Shadow sighes, reaching out to hug his daughter. "I just wish I make her understand," he murmurs. "I love her, she's my sister, and nothing will change that. But you and your mother mean the world to me." He shakes his head sadly. "If she was in her right mind, I know she'd understand, but I just can't get through to her."
