Desiree was at home, she had just finished putting up some dishes and went to take a seat on the couch in the living room. She hadn't done much that day, so she had just stayed around home fixing up things here and there. It was getting kind of boring, maybe she should look into getting a job to keep her busy(one that DIDN'T leave her hands bloody would be nice for a change).
Speaking of jobs, her husband really should be getting home from one by now. She looked over at a clock, it normally didn't take him this long to finish, and the thought made her frown. Either something unexpected came up, or he was having a little too much fun. The brunette sighed, deciding to turn on the tv to make the time pass. She would have gotten out her guitar, but that meant walking all the way back to the bedroom.

Archer slipped in the door carefully, mindful not to get blood on anything. "I'm back." He called as he went to the bedroom to change out of his bloody clothes. He had a very wide grin on his face because of what had happened before work and during. He'd very much enjoyed the run in with Hotaru and her daughter, then work was an absolute blast. He changed out of his bloody clothes and put them in the designated hamper then went to the shower and turned it on.

Desiree didn't move her attention from the television as Archer came in, the blood was just another part of life in this family. Nothing she was proud of, not anymore at least. "Any reason you were out for so long?" She asked, voice somewhat distant. Ever since Daemon left, it was hard for her to really be comfortable around Archer. She did a good job at hiding it, nothing had really changed outwardly. It was more in her mindset she guessed, standing up to her husband was never a smart idea after all.

Archer stepped into the shower as Desiree came into the room. "I ran into someone before heading off to work, plus this job was a longer one. My employer wanted this one done very well." He replied as blood mixed with water and swirled down the drain. "Guess who I ran into."

Desiree rose a brow as she walked in. Who could he of possibly ran into that would catch his…
Oh no.
"Please don't tell me it's who I think it is." She sighed, placing a hand to her temple. Please not the King family, anyone ANYONE but them. She had promised Mr. King that she would keep him away from them.

Archer chuckled. "Oh yes." He replied, grinning. "Hotaru and her daughter. I can see why Daemon has a thing for her. She was very feisty, much like her mother." He replied as he started washing his hair. "I had to teach her some manners though." He added, making sure he was speaking over the sound of the shower.

Desiree shook her head, running a hand through her hair. She froze, however, at his last comment. After regaining her composure she stormed over to him in the shower. "What did you do to that poor girl?" She kept her voice controlled despite the irritation bubbling inside her that was slowly turning itself into anger.

Archer noticed the change in her tone but ignored it. He figured she'd be mad but he didn't care, he was in too good of a mood. "I wouldn't have done anything if she hadn't tried to raise her hand to hit me, it was bad manners. I bruised her wrist quite a bit, and I burned the letter A on her arm." he replied simply. He typically didn't enjoy hurting children, but Hotaru's reaction was worth it.

Desiree's jaw dropped as he spoke. "You WHAT?!" she practically yelled. "You could have just shoved her away! How bad was the bruise? Why on EARTH did you think it was acceptable to burn your fucking INITIAL on her?!" She looked at him wide-eyed. She had PROMISED Jack nothing would happen, hell ARCHER had promised he that he wouldn't do anything!

Archer scrubbed the shampoo out of his hair and shook his head. "She needed to be taught a lesson and I wasn't going to pass up the opportunity. I wouldn't have touched her had she not raised her hand to hit me. And relax, it wasn't permanent damage or anything, hell, it'll heal in a couple of weeks." he replied, ignoring the anger coming from Dezzy. Had that anger not been directed at him, he'd be dragging her into the shower too.

Dezzy threw her hands up a little. "Well knowing YOU the only reason she did was because you were probably messing with their heads!" Probably more of Hotaru's, she couldn't help but wonder how the redhead was holding up now. "Hell, I'd of tried hitting you too if I were her!" She snapped.

Archer put some conditioner in his hair and turned to look at Dezzy. "I ran into them, I didn't seek them out. There's no way I was passing that opportunity up. It was quick anyways, barely ten minutes." he replied as he started lathering up the body wash. "It's not like I did any permanent damage." He added. He'd done that years ago to Hotaru, no need to do it again when it still affected her.

Desiree grabbed at her hair in frustration. "Still." she ground out through her teeth. She sighed loudly and looked back at him. "You could have avoided them! You PROMISED me you wouldn't do anything! I promised Jack that--" She cut herself off and closed her eyes, cursing quietly as she realized what she said. It had been a few weeks since the mention of her meeting with Jack, Archer hadn't said anything and she was hoping he had just forgotten about it. Now she'd just brought it back up again… fucking great.

Archer stiffened and looked at Dezzy with a raised eyebrow. "You promised him what? I told you I wouldn't seek her out, but when given an opportunity like tonight, it was unavoidable. Now, what did you promise him?" He replied, looking at her sternly. He didn't like the fact that Dezzy had gone to Jack, but he'd got over it. Hearing it brought up again, with the mention of a promise, just didn't set well with him.

Desiree pinched the bridge of her nose before looking back at him. Might as well tell him since it was out. "I promised that none of us would hurt his family, okay?! I was just repeating a promise that YOU already made to me earlier, one that you've clearly decided to ignore!"
Well, while she was at it she might as well keep this up. "You know what, I'm tired of this Archer! I'm tired of everything! It was all fine at first when we met, but ya know what? We have CHILDREN now! One that you practically DISOWNED just for wanting to be friends with the family you hurt! And the other one, she's- she's-" She ran her hands through her hair again and closed her eyes for a second. "She's gonna be worse than YOU at this point and I don't want that!"
She looked straight into his eyes, her breathing had quickened from being so on edge. "Dammit Archer I grew up, so why couldn't you?!"
