Nic watches in amusement as Cass hides the carrots from him, but it quickly shifts to anger with the shift in conversation. Cass’ touch grounds him and the kiss softens his brow. [color=F7941D]“Sorry,”[/color] He says, resting his hand over hers and giving it a gentle squeeze. 

[color=F7941D] “Sometimes, when I see some poor kid with a cancer diagnosis, I can’t help but think of my Kiki. So when that kid’s parents are trying to eradicate the cancer with bell peppers and not taking the chance that chemo might provide, I get so frustrated. Have any other reason - it’s too expensive, it makes the patient worse, the survival rate is less than 1%, but… just flat out refusing breaks my heart.”[/color] 

He knows he’s treading close to saying how much he used to hate holistic shops that preyed on families like these, but now that he knows the supernatural world exists, he’s sure there’s well-intentioned people like Cass who truly try to help people. He just doesn’t know how to phrase it properly.

Kimiko’s skin ends up getting covered in tiny little goosebumps as soon as Avery touches her and she has to remind herself to relax, otherwise she’ll be too tense for the wolf to get rid of her knot. She starts counting her breath, [i]Inhale for 1…2…3…4…5…6… Exhale for 4…3…2…1…[/i], a trick she had long ago learned from a massage therapist to help relax her body. 

She listens to Avery speak and feels grateful that he even thought to help her with the soreness. She was convinced he hates touching her. [color=FFF79A]“I think we can blame you trying to kill me via motorcycle for this one.”[/color] She teases with a small laugh before she stops Avery for a moment. 

[color=FFF79A]“Sorry, let me take the sweatshirt off - I have a tank on underneath and that should work better, right?”[/color] She glances over her shoulder to see if Avery has an issue with this before she just pulls the sweatshirt off. She’s wearing a white camisole with spaghetti straps underneath, foregoing a bra since she didn’t think she would be taking the outer layer off. It’s form-fitting but nothing scandalous. She shifts to position herself for Avery again.

Nero grins widely, holding Caden’s hands back when they interlace theirs. [color=#9B111E]“Because I’ve been a very good [i]kleiner kobold[/i] today and deserve to be spoiled.”[/color] They chirp with a nod, trying not to giggle.
