Nyx withdraw his wings and landed as quiet as he could in his room. The window had been strategically left open, and the thin curtains was moving in the wind. Nyx smiled, his night out had been successful. And he had so much to tell his friend Peat tomorrow, but now sleep. He walked to his bed, and let out a yawn. It was almost 4 in the morning and he had training with Cass up at the house of winds first thing. His door opened up and his mother stood there. Nyx froze, his bots still on, the jacket to.

"Where. Have. You. Been." Feyre said. "And don't tell me you just woke up now to go out for extra training or something. I heard you come home." Nyx panicked, and made sure his mental defenses was secure, even if his parents never moved into his mind with out asking first, he made sure that his mother didn't do it just becuse she was mad.

"I couldn't sleep." He started.

"Try again." Feyre said, cutting him of. Nyx blood was rushing in his ears, making it harder to focus on a good lie.

"I was in the camps." Nyx said back. His mother almost choked when she heard the words.

"Where did you say?" She said. Nyx knew that he was in trouble for real now.

"I was up at the camps." He repeated. Knowing his punishment was set. Probably running up and down the goods damned stairs to the House of winds, or hand cleaning all of Armens jewelry... Or both...

"Why?" Her voice low, and Nyx took a step back. He hoped for the stairs more then hand cleaning.

"What is going on here?" His dad walked up behind her.

"Your son, has made a nightly trip to the camps." Feyre said and turned towards him. Nyx meet his dads eyes, begging for help. His father looked chocked, but notice the cry for help.

"I thought you were going there tomorrow night?" Rhys said, Nyx held back the impulse to sigh.

"What!" Feyre screamed, turning to her mate. "You knew?!"

"Nyx asked me yester day if he could take part in the Illyrians night hunt. But I was under the impression that it was tomorrow night. We were going to tell you this morning."

"I can't belive it, I can't belive it." Feyre left them both. Leaving Rhys too close the door and stand alone with his son. Nyx lowered his head, waiting for his father to talk.

"Were where you? For real now."

"Down in Winter... Aphrodite and Hefistos had a party and asked me to come. They wanted something fun to do after what happened..." The two siblings of the Winter court had just lost a close cousin this past winter, leaving them all in sorrow.

"And why didn't you ask us to go?"

"Because it was not a formal thing..." Nyx said, looking down in the carpet. "Kealias and Vivane don't know..."

"I will not tell them. But next time, give us a heads up. And don't lie to your mother." Rhys shock his head at his son. "Get som sleep. I will send you up to train extra with Cass and Az tomorrow. And then we will need to do a Illyrian night hunt. Okey."

"Okey..." Nyx sat down. "How long will mom be mad?"

"For as long that she needs." Rhys said and left the room. Nys let his guard down. It was only partly true. He had only meet up with Aphrodite, taken her up over the Ice city, letting her see her home from the sky. She was a close friend to him, they exchanged letters regularly. Nyx laid down in his bed, closing his eyes. To only train extra with Cassian and Azriel was a price he could pay for making his friend smile and be happy.

"He was not in the camps?"

"Nopp." Rhys said when Feyre asked.

"So were where he?"

"He said the Winter Court... But... There is something more he ain't telling us." Rhys got back to the bed. "Don't be to hard on him. I did things way worse then sneaking out at night."

"I am not sure if that makes it better." Feyre said. Laying down at his side.

"Me Cassian and Azriel did join the blook rite with out telling my mom."

"You what?" Feyre got up. "That is worse."

"We just didn't tell her which day it was, and made sure she was in Velaris when it started." Rhys let out a laugh. "She made us sleep on rocks for two weeks after."

"A suitable punishment..." Feyre said back... "Are we worried for Nyx? Is he in trouble?"

"No, but I will send him up to train with Cass tomorrow, and it is time now for him to experience a Illyrian hunt." He wrapped his arms around his mate. "I think that will be a good consequence."

"Will it be dangerous?"

"Compared to what adventures he did tonight? Yes... But I will be there. Nothing will happen." Rhys kissed her neck holding her close.

"You will sleep on the couch tomorrow night." She said.

"Why not now?"

"I am too tired to force you out." Feyre closed her eyes. "Just... Make sure he dosen't get hurt."

"Always Feyre Darling."

A short little story. I really like writing these little moments. And I think in the future one will be that Feyre forces Rhys to sleep on the couch. Help me, what has he done to deserve that?
