Hearing the motorcycle, Nero dashes into the garage and perches themself on the front wheel, their hands on the handlebars. [color=#9B111E]“No, I don’t think I will.”[/color] They say simply as they tilt their head to the side.

[color=#9B111E]“Tell me what happened or I’m teleporting us.”[/color] Nero threatens. [color=9e0b0f]“I’m sure with you, the splash we make will be [i]huge[/i] compared to what tiny ol’ me made.”[/color] They’re mostly rambling to pull Avery’s focus somewhere else. Plus they know they’ll survive if he lashes out.

[color=FFF79A]“I can’t…”[/color] Kiki mumbles in between Caden and Cassi talking before she shakes with another sob. As much as she wanted to dogpile on Avery with Cassi, Caden’s words about the bond are bouncing around in her head. 

Kiki looks up at Caden with a worried expression. [color=FFF79A]“I can’t feel him right now, Caden…”[/color]

Nic can’t help but smile at Cassi’s big sister behavior with Kimiko - it’s adorable and he loves seeing this side of her. [color=F7941D]“If you let Cassi train you, you’ll end up bumping into my dad at some point.”[/color] His smile falters and he turns so the others don’t have to see his frown, pretending he is cleaning up the mirror still.

He’s glad he did though, because Kiki’s lets them know she can’t feel the bond with Avery. He didn’t need to split the focus when it seems like Kiki’s situation demands and needs more attention. He goes to find a broom and dustpan instead.
