How Green Becomes Wood

Still the same man. Just different. That wasn't particularly comforting, Dark thought, looking out at the long dark road, not knowing how to reply to his sons.

"I can hardly imagine being attracted to anyone who isn't your father anymore," Daizi admitted, playing with her hair with one hand, "I don't know if that means I don't have a type or my type is highly specific. When we were broken up it was different, but now?"
 
"It's fun though," Daizi shrugged, "I had fun. Not all of the time, mind you, sometimes it was... awful. But most of it I look back on fondly. I learned a lot."

Dark gave an almost inaudible chuckle.

"Shut up."

"You learned a lot."

"Khalas! I did!" She shoved his shoulder but not hard enough to make him accidentally swerve the car, "You don't have a whole different fiancé and plan a whole different wedding without learning a lot. Plus everything which came before that engagement."
 
Daizi waved the hand she had been using to play with her hair earlier, "I've revealed nothing that you didn't already know about me. It's not like you met my ex. Although if you ever come with me home to Egypt, you can still meet my ex-fiancé."
 
Daizi laughed, resting her head against the window, "He's not so bad, just boring. Ultimately I did him a favor, I don't think he really wanted to marry me either."

"I do not understand how he could not have wanted to when you are so evidently out of his league." Dark said, stealing a glance at her.

"I'm intimidating, Goose, very few people can handle me and those who aren't strong enough can't take the pressure of it. I eat weak men for breakfast."
 
To the twins, who had mostly known Daizi when she was highly hormonal, that seemed an odd thing. Neither of them would argue that she was a free spirit, strong, and noble, but a man-eater? Or, at least, a destroyer of weak men? That was a foreign idea to them. Maybe it shouldn't have been, and Xander was willing to entertain the idea, but Alec was having more trouble with the idea.

That said... Both could easily see how not everyone could "handle" Daizi.
