Nic smiles, kissing Cassi back when their lips touch and wrapping both arms around her again. When she pulls away, his hands move up and down her back as he rubs comfortingly. [color=F7941D]“I love you too.”[/color] He doesn’t feel like he needs to ask what spurred that on - he has a feeling they were both feeling their futures becoming brighter.

Nero hums happily, lying back and rolling onto their side to look at Caden. [color=#9B111E]“I love you.”[/color] They say with a smile before they wiggle their way to cuddle him. [color=#9B111E]“Do you want to take a bath? To help relax?”[/color]

Kiki had hoped the answer would be different and her shoulders sag with disappointment that her fears are correct. Maybe if he was new to all of this like she is, then she could understand, but he had been trying to teach her the correct way to block just last night. She doesn’t understand how she isn’t starting to sob right now, her tears just falling down her cheeks silently despite how hurt she feels. 

[color=FFF79A]“I don’t know what to say.”[/color] She says finally as her chin wobbles just lightly. With what Caden and Cassi had explained about bonds… The confirmation that Avery [i]had[/i] done it on purpose wears heavy on her. [color=FFF79A]“Why couldn’t you just [i]talk[/i] to me?”[/color]
