Nic tries to keep his expression calm and reassuring for his father, but he can only think of the worst case scenarios of what Ren could possibly mean by his admission. He can’t help the crease in his brow as his dad continues. [b]“I swear I didn’t know that the blessing was real… I didn’t know!”[/b] Ren returns to speaking in Mandarin, starting to ramble as his son listens with rapt attention. 

Trying to pick out the most important parts of what’s being said, Nic looks up at Cass when Ren stops to sob some more. [color=F7941D]“He… Sorry, I’m trying to find the right words for translation…”[/color] He runs the Mandarin through his head a couple more times to make sure he’s getting it correct.

[color=F7941D]“My… mother was diagnosed with cancer…”[/color] Nic stands up, running his hands through his hair before running one down his face. Any remaining emotions from the encounter he had earlier with Cass were snuffed out. He rubs his chin, unable to stop clenching his jaw as tears spring to his eyes. [color=f7941d]“My mom was diagnosed with stage four pancreatic cancer… [i]Jesus[/i].”[/color]

Kiki hides her smug smile behind her sandwich when Avery wraps his arm around her. What he whispers in her ear, however, makes her blush and she tugs her blanket to help aid the sandwich in hiding her face. It’s almost infuriating how easily he can do that to her, but she tries to ignore it. [color=FFF79A]“Damn straight.”[/color] She mumbles into the sandwich.

Nero’s eyes watch Caden with awe as he talks, only responding after he pulls back from their kiss. [color=#9B111E]“I am once again pleading for some way to become a dragon. You’re truly a wonder.”[/color] They whisper before Caden addresses the other couple.

[color=#9B111E]“Maybe a throuple of things even!”[/color] Nero chirps with amusement, just wanting to have the last word.
