Nerissa really got caught in the moment. This wasn’t he way she normally behaved. This was the side she didn’t want anyone to see. It was simply ugly.<br/><br/>The way Nerissa looked at Albion when he refused her request, the look in those big eyes looked like he hurt her now much more than she had hurt her with her hits. For a moment Nerissa couldn’t hide the disappointment from showing on her face, nor that how sad it made her. She desperately needed that comforting to gather herself again. At that moment, when she looked up at the man her big eyes still gleaming from tears, she looked smaller and more fragile than she had ever before. Nerissa had let her cheerful mask slid off and Albion had seen what was under it. There was more pain and sadness than one small fox should endure. All she was looking for was being held, but Albion turned her down.<br/><br/>The fox demon swallowed and with her will power she forced a smile on her lips. She gave a small laughter. It was such obvious fake laughter, but she did her best to return the situation back to normal. “I know. It was just a joke. Haha!” I’m sorry for asking too much from you. His face was all red. Fire truck red. Nerissa felt bad for Albion. He was a good friend, and she put her in situations like this, asking more than he could give. “It was a bad joke. Just forget it.”<br/><br/>The girl wanted to stay near him, let his closeness melt away all those bad memories. She wanted to just be there until everything would be calm inside her again. But she stepped away with a confused look in her eyes. “I’m sorry. I don’t know what got into me. I… I’m truly sorry! If there is something how I can make this up to you, I will do it. Do you need to sit down? Is there anything I can do for you? I’m sorry Albion. I didn’t mean to hurt you. You know that, right? Oh, why didn’t you stop me? You are sometimes too kind for your own good.” Nerissa was ready to jump to get him the painkillers or whatever he wanted. If he wasn’t hurt she would have hugged him to comfort him, but it looked like a hug was the last thing Albion wanted right now. No matter how many times she would say it wouldn’t be enough.<br/><br/>The fox demon felt completely lost. Just how was she supposed to fix this?<br/>
