One day, mid argument with a passer-by who was telling her she really shouldn't be standing on the grass (since it is a rule there not to, but she'd only ever listen to a GLE (Galactic Law Enforcement Officer) telling her that) who should 'come to her aid' but
demandel, who was now a few years older at 15 to her 14, but still just as patronising. She instantly turned her sharp tongue over to him, allowing the unfortunate citizen to slip away thankfully, unnoticed, while she and
demandel fought (almost flirtingly), Faydran eventually relenting and allowing him to win that battle so she could get away from him.
From then on,
demandel set to winning her, so to say, and tried to completely immerse himself in her life, coming to her at work with pretend ailments, come in for bruises and scrapes, sniffles, anything. Although she did her best to ignore him, he was set on presenting his charming self in all its glory and all, but only ended up in pissing Fay off to no end.
demandel is the type though who only perused her persistently on a whim, and one day he simply abandoned his pursuit because it was going nowhere. Not taking to this kindly, Faydran was incredibly offended, jealous, hurt, and more. One afternoon of probably half a week of waiting for him to come back, she stormed over to him one afternoon and demanded he take her somewhere, sometime, making him dreadfully bemused by this sudden change of events. He was now more reserved, trying to provoke a more satisfactory type of reaction, and it worked. Although embarrassed, she had decided that he was a game she just had to win at, whereas his flirting nature had decided that life itself was a game he had to win at.
demandel became standoffish and disinterested, making her more annoyed at his 180 in actions. She slapped him, hard, and stormed back to work, incredibly embarrassed and even more bitter.
The next few months were a headache, just when she was able to get him out of her mind, he started to randomly show up at her work or wherever just to see how far he could push her. Just when she was about ready to inject him with whatever herbs she could get her hands on, he tried being genuine, nice, almost sweet, just to throw her off. She gave up then, practically collapsed in her office, nearly crying with exasperation. At this, Dem (she calls him Del though) stole a kiss, and things went on from there.
Needless to say, they were married at the age of 17, 18 after sneaking off one night. No one was invited.
demandel, although flirty and charming, didn't have a great number of friends, and the marriage was more of a whim to him anyway, whereas Fay felt the need to tie him down and didn't much speak to her parents and immediate family, except for the one aunt.
Faydran has now been married to him for three years, despite the fact
demandel has a wondering eye and how he is highly suggestive to those he finds attractive. She knows him quite well though, and would know if he crossed the line anymore than he already has. He knows full well that she would leave him if he even slightly touched another female, and that keeps him in check, or at least has up to date. Faydran still stays with him because he's still a game to her, one she won't win until he's hers and hers alone. Why he stays with her, she really has no idea.
