Nero shakes their head, not letting their eyes leave Avery. [color=#9B111E]“No.”[/color] They chirp, letting the word resonate for a moment before they continue. [color=9e0b0f]“If you want, we can try teleporting your bike with us too and see where it lands.”[/color] They lean closer to Avery with their wide eyes fixed on him before they scoff.

[color=9e0b0f]“Also, I don’t [i]’bug’[/i] Caden.”[/color] Nero leans back on their heels, letting their hands and arms do the most work in keeping them perched. [color=#9B111E]“I happen to enrich the day of anyone I come across.”[/color]

Nic gets all the pieces of the shattered mirror off the floor and equipment before dumping it all into a nearby waste bin before he turns to face his girlfriend and her little sister. Kiki’s sobbing even more now from the reactions of Cassi and Caden. Their concern did not sit well with her.

[color=FFF79A]“What’s going to happen if he keeps me blocked out?”[/color] Kiki asks between hiccups.

Nic looks between Cassi and Kimiko, taking context clues from the conversation to see that this was a bigger deal than he originally thought. [color=F7941D]“How about we get you somewhere more comfortable, Kimiko.”[/color] He crouches down by the two ladies, kissing Cassi on her forehead before he gently lifts Kimiko.

[color=F7941D]“I think Cassi’s little green room will do just fine.”[/color] Nic declares even as Kimiko’s face turns red. She seems at a lost of words as she tries to decide between raging at Nic for manhandling her and sobbing at the simple, kind gesture. He waits a moment for Cassi to get to her feet before he carries Kimiko towards the other end o the house.
