Edit: Layla being darker makes sense because her bloodline is 50 percent Gerudo and most of them are tanned, but I WAS WAY OFF WITH ROMULUS-

HE AIN'T THAT DARK SO I APOLOGISE-

millie: *sees layla from a distance and instantly ducks behind a tree, looking at dark. she looks TERRIFIED.*
shes beautiful. also, meeting her is scarier then fighting a hinox. shes gonna hate me. oh goddess...
*she takes darks hand* i-i... i dont wanna back out of meeting her. but i'm scared....
can you stay with me to meet her? please?

@Theformerdq10
Dark: Of course, my lovely.. kids, this is Millie, your stepmother.
Romulus: :OOOOO OH MY DIN ITS SO NICE TO MEET YOU!! YOURE SO PRETTY!
Layla: ....Oh. YOU'RE Millie.

@CrystallizedDusk millie: h-hi!! um. it's a, uh, pleasure to meet you!
*sighs*
listen. i love dark. i know you all have been through alot of pain, but... i'd never cause you pain. i'd rather die, actually, then hurt any of you.
and... its okay if you dont like me. i wanna earn that. i wanna earn your trust.
as a warrior of the hyrule kingdom... mercenary and personal bodyguard of princess zelda herself..
*kneels on one knee, smiling.*
i promise my eternal love, safety, trust, and loyalty.

@Theformerdq10
Romulus: Oo-
Layla: Oh cut the charade. Every woman even REMOTELY interested has said and done the same thing. Your "promise" of hope and love means NOTHING. to me. and me and my father's joy isnt a prize. Amanda thought it was once. She learned wrong. Besides. What are you to Papa?
Dark: Layla-
Layla: And what can you do to stop Ganon? ZIP. I could take you bare-handed, right here for-
Dark: LAYLABELLE HARGREAVES. I know Amanda hurt you, but this is NO way to treat Millie, ESPECIALLY when she tries to put in the effort. *squeezes her hand* I'm sorry about that, my little ruby..

millie: *sore smile* hey, after you've been beaten for being a demon your whole life, you kinda get used to it.
*looks back to layla*
To answer your question. yes, i can and would k1ll gannon. but i dont wanna do that without your father, or his consent. you see, gannon hurt me too. ke k1lled my parents. so i grew up an orphan. you may have had a terrible mom, but you have an amazing father. thats more than i had.
you guys matter to me because you're like my family...

millie: and goddess knows i didn't have that before.

@Theformerdq10
Layla: Listen, Mildred. That's a nice sob story, but I'm still not going to go with it because "You went through worse" or "Dad says so." Amanda THREATENED TO TOSS ME IN A RIVER and INTO DEATH MOUNTAIN. NO ONE will get that close to me, AGAIN. Everyone that has betrayed me in some way.
Dark: Laylabelle. Precious. Hargreaves. The wedding will continue whether you accept Millie into the family or not. She makes me happy and WANTS to be there, and instead of pushing her away how about TRYING to get to know her! You're swatting a fly you cant even see!
Romulus: Yeah Laylayoosh... you're getting cranky.. listen Millie, I apologise for my older sister.. you dont deserve that. She has a lot of anger in her heart but doesnt need to take it out on you.

millie: really, its okay. i get it. this cant be easy for her.
listen layla... i'm not gonna give up. okay? we don't have to have a mother-daugher relationship. but i want to at least be friends. i understand that'll take time. but i WANT to get there.
and... if you ever have problems, tell me. okay? *smiles and turns to dark* we should probably get ready soon.

@Theformerdq10
Dark: I guess so..
Layla: ....Good luck. And I'm not being "buddies," but treat Papa well. My mom put him through Hell and back, and he's sweeter than honey.
Rom: Yeah! You-
Layla: -dont deserve him but whatever makes him happy.
Rom: ...That's not what I was gonna say.. *shakes head* I should probably get Morpha and Vaati. They've been dying to know when itll start.

@CrystallizedDusk millie: i look forward to it.
Tell them it'll start in an hour.

(aka, i made art im about to post!)

@Theformerdq10
Rom: Got it!

(*insert knuckle cracking* FEIC OFF SLEEP THIS IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOU!)

diana: *walks over* hey guys.

millie: heyy! double-di! layla, rom, dark, have you met mel's daughter diana?

@Theformerdq10
Dark: *gasp* Awwww hi!
Layla: Bleh.
Rom: HIIII!

diana: hey.
*looks at layla* who're you? you seem cool.
millie: thats layla! she's dark's daughter!
diana: oh, huh. cool.

@Theformerdq10
Layla: Are... are you lost, kid? Melody isnt here. Maybe try another castle.
Rom: Ok- I *KNOW* THAT WASNT AN OUT-OF-UNIVERSE REFERENCE LAYLABELLE HARGREAVES!
Layla: Maybe it is :)
Dark: *sigh* Ignore them...

diana: my mom's over at the snack table with her *rolls eyes* boyfriend.

millie: Diana...

@Theformerdq10
Layla: Was... was that sass?
Rom: Sounds like it.
Layla: ...

Okay, I like this kid now!

Diana: heh, thanks.
