Avery pauses and looks at Kimiko. [color=#B0C4DE]”Seriously?”[/color] He started to laugh and shook his head. [color=#B0C4DE]”Of course. Well, your SOL, little fox.”[/color] Avery walked out of the closet and glanced back at Kimiko. [color=#B0C4DE]”I’ll just let you change,”[/color] he said, not sure what to say, and left.

Avery shut the bedroom door behind him before he pulled at his wet clothes. He sighed and glanced down the hall before walking into another bedroom. Sometimes he stayed in the house, but not very often. However, he did have a stash of clothes. Avery went into one of the smaller bedrooms and shut the door behind him to change and figure out if he should leave the house and Kimiko on her own or if he should just crash in Caden’s house to keep an eye and ear on everything.

Caden went to stand, but a memory flooded his head, and he couldn’t move. Caden managed to sit on the ground while he road the journey with Nero out. Caden seemed to alternate between watching through his mate’s eyes and watching as a bystander. The look on Nero’s face crushed Caden. He knew that look only because he had seen it in Cassi. Had seen it in himself. Disassociating from the pain of reality was the only way to keep living.

The memory of Mundus sending Nero after Cass’ family faded into the memory Caden had already seen. He pulled himself out, bringing Nero with him and buried his head into Nero’s neck. At some point, Caden had started crying again.

He didn’t speak to Nero. He just cried, holding his mate tightly.

Cassiopeia opened her eyes and blinked several times when Nic touched her. She looked down at him, coming back to reality. It took her a minute to register him and the questions he asked. She looked down at Max, who sat beside Nic, staring up at her. Cass stared back for a couple of minutes, leaving Nic’s question to hang in the air.

[color=#DB7093]”No,”[/color] she finally said. Cass turned her head and looked at Nic. [color=#DB7093]”Can I have some tea?”[/color]
