Avery laughs and shakes his head. Kimiko's hand rests on his forearm and he understands it to not be a casual thing. Avery quickly squeezes Kimiko's hand before he stands. [color=#B0C4DE]”Hey, boss, another drink?”[/color] Avery asks, speaking more loudly than he needs to. 

Caden shifts his focus from Nero to look at Avery and grins. [color=#006400]”Of course.”[/color]

Even though he looked away, Cassiopeia continues to stare trying to figure out why. She barely startles when Nic whispers in her ear, but it does work to pull her from her thoughts. 

[color=#DB7093]”Oh, um, sure. Thank you. No tomatoes,”[/color] she reminds Nic and makes the effort to look at him.

Caden relaxes when he no longer feels Cassiopeia's eyes on him..he settles fully, free to finally stand and get himself a plate. Avery tries to break the tension and Caden is grateful for the effort he is making.

Caden prepares his plate and returns to his seat with food and a fresh drink. [color=#006400]”So, Kimiko, I think we're all dying to know what the next steps for Nic and his family are regarding this missing blessing. Do you have any ideas?”[/color] Caden asked, in an effort to open up conversation with the whole table rather than separate talks.
