Nyx seemed a very good match for Midnight and had settled in quite fast. She was not nervous around the children and seemed quite fond of them. She had showed that with Malah, the young Angel. Midnight also seemed happy around the children. The only adults that the pair seemed to like was Laylah and himself. Perhaps it was because they could sense the innocents of the children and their desire to be friends and not enemies. Also the two did not show fear of the cats, which also probably helped. He heard the voice of Lily calling the children to the table and asking Laylah if she had seen him. As she ascended the stairs and stopped at the top he came out of one of the rooms close to the stairs and almost knocked her down the stairs. He grabbed hold of her and pulled her towards him, bringing her up against him.<br/><br/>A hand was about her on the small of her back holding her to prevent her from falling. His other hand was on one of her arms. She was pressed up against him and suddenly he was filled with a strange sensation that flowed through his body. Having her so close to him felt strange yet good. He looked at her as he them some so she would not lose her balance and fall down the stairs. He held her that way for a few moments and then slowly released her. "Didn't see you there, sorry." he said with a smile. "Are you alright."<br/><br/>He could feel his heart racing as he looked at her. He took in a deep breath and let it out slowly trying to calm it. But it didn't seem to be working. Finally he put a bit of more distance between them and cleared his throat. "I think we had best be joining the others." he told her and gently began guiding her back down the stairs. "We have a full day ahead, and there is more that you now need to see."<br/><br/>As they walked into the room the others looked at them as did Midnight and Nyx, as they lay there on the floor near the children. "Is Midnight and Nyx going with you?" the children asked.<br/><br/>Dante chuckled. "I think they might like to stick around here and play." he told them. That set off a round of giggles and cheers from the pair. Dante looked down at the two panthers. " You two have fun while we are gone today Play nice with them." he shook his head and took a seat. He looked over at Laylah and wondered. He caught Lilly looking at him a smile on her lips.
