Cassiopeia was amazed she told Nic the whole story like that. She had told people bits and pieces over time. The people who mattered to her or she had a long term relationship with, but nothing to the extent she had just done with Nic. And he didn't run from her. Instead he was comforting her. 

The soft kisses to Cassi's face had her focusing on her breath and calming down. She smiled when Nic asked if she wanted to leave. 

[color=#DB7093]”Yes, but Caden likely already heard us pull up. I'll be okay. I have my personal nurse with me,”[/color] she joked. 

There was nothing more Cassi wanted to do then to go home, maybe with Nic, curl into bed and sleep. Or just hide. But she made Caden a promise and she couldn't keep dwelling in the past.

[I]Mmm, so he was guarding and distracted,[/I] Caden surmised. He wrapped his arm loosely around Nero's waist, resting a hand on their left thigh and played with the hem of their skirt. 

Avery laughed after Kimiko smacked him and Caden smiled. It was a full sound that filled the space around them. That was a more telltale sign than anything. 

[color=#006400][I]”Sie ist verwirrt. Sie möchte keine Grenzen überschreiten, aber Avery scheint gemischte Signale zu geben. Ich denke jedoch, dass es offensichtlich ist, in welche Richtung er tendiert,”[/I][/color] Caden informa Nero.

[Hider=translations]She is confused. She doesn't want to cross any boundaries, but Avery seems to be giving mixed signals. However, I think it's obvious which way he's leaning.[/hider]

Avery laughs at Kimiko's comment. It's a deep and full laugh that fills his belly, and when it ends he's grinning. Avery looks at Kimiko and shrugs. 

[color=#B0C4DE]”That's a shame then if you have allergies. I guess I'll just have to keep my distance.”[/color] There's a silent challenge in Avery's eyes as he watches Kimiko for a response.
