Nero blinks, their gaze shifting to look up at Caden with a look of concern mixed with fear as their arms fall from his grasp. They feel unable to muster the strength to try and pull him back to them. They focus on Caden’s eyes, watching as his dart about from one person to the next. [color=#9B111E][i]“Ich wusste nicht, dass.”[/i][/color] Their voice is barely over a whisper. 

Caden has to believe them, right? Nero wouldn’t have willingly bonded to Mundus in the first place, but they definitely would have been trying to find a way to break it if they had known of its existence. [color=#9B111E][i]“Mein Drache, bitte!”[/i][/color] They plead as he runs off into the woods. 

Silent sobs wrack through the demon’s body as they stare helplessly at where their love had disappeared, barely registering Avery’s words or his embrace at first. Once in his arms, their hands grasp him as the tears flood their face before they bury it in his forearms.

[color=FFF79A][i]“Merde,”[/i][/color] Kiki curses after the initial shock’s worn off. She’s grateful that Avery had the sense to try and comfort the imp and wipes at the tears slowly falling down her face from hearing Nero sobbing. Cassi’s voice pulls her attention and she shifts her gaze to look at her ‘older sister’. 

[color=FFF79A]“He-”[/color] Her eyebrows crinkle for a moment as she strains to find the words. [color=fff79a]“He fucking ran away…”[/color] She says standing up to release some of the tension she can feel welling up inside of her. [color=fff79a]“I mean, he was about to go full dragon, but still… [i]Merde[/i].”[/color] She curses again.

Nic’s grateful that he hasn’t let himself totally panic yet, especially when Caden started to lose control. He didn’t exactly want to find out what being that close to a dragon would do to his frail human body. His hands move on Cassi’s back in an effort to soothe her as his brain tries to catch up. [color=F7941D]“We should head inside…”[/color] He says, concerned for everyone’s wellbeing at this point. 

[color=F7941D]“It’s going to get cold.”[/color] He continues.

It seems like it clicks for Kiki when she blinks and nods. [color=fff79a]“I’ll go ask the staff to… I‘ll just ask if we can…”[/color] Nic glances at her, trying to be patient. 

[color=f7941d]“The less crowded, the better. Gather some blankets and start a fire inside.”[/color] He doesn’t mean to start taking charge, but he feels helpless. Dealing with a traumatized demon and sorceress by addressing their mental health first and foremost seems like the best idea. Kiki nods and heads off quickly.
