Devon folded his arms and watched the exchange between Aya and Ferid. Clearly they weren't talking, again. Devon knew why, of course, Ferid had killed several of her orphan friends when Aya had been human, and had betrayed the little girl's trust. Four years was nothing to Aya, just like human lives were nothing to Ferid. Actually... were any lives valuable to Ferid? Devon smirked. Probably not. He looked over at Aya, considering going over to her and tapped a finger against his arm. Truth was, Devon was planning on betraying the children as well, but not like that, not like Ferid did. That had definitely been over the line. 

Devon then shifted his beautiful red eyes over to the tall, lean vampire noble's back as he walked away slowly, pretending not to be offended by Aya's dismissive rejection. Damn Ferid could act, and he could keep up his act for years too. He never missed a beat on pretending to be kind to Aya, even after all this time, regardless of how she ignored him. Sometimes, Devon actually wondered if Ferid felt guilty. Then there was the fact that Aya was the queen's child, and Ferid hadn't seen that coming. Of course any child of hers would be best for him to get along with. 

Devon turned his head so that Aya could hear him. "I know you've been outside, Aya. I know you've found some humans and were watching them."
