The staff merely glanced at Avery carrying Nero before they quickly turned and went back to work. Sarah questioned Avery with a silent look, but he shook his head before focusing back on Nero. He held Nero a little closer, at a loss for what to do for them. He didn’t like seeing Nero unhappy, but he could tell the imp was trying.

Cassiopeia desperately wanted to kiss Nic when he looked at her like that. The world always seemed to disappear when he gave her that smile. She settled for resting a hand on his cheek, running her thumb along the lines of his face. He didn’t have a single imperfection. Cassiopeia wondered if he ever had acne growing up. 

[color=#DB7093]”If only I could see you in action without being a distraction.”[/color] Cassi slid her hand from Nic’s cheek and rested it on his chest, thoroughly impressed he was still carrying her. 

[color=#DB7093]”I guess it would have to be some sort of creme-based liqueur if it was to be mixed into hot chocolate. Which isn’t usually strong enough for me, but I suppose I shouldn’t be drinking to get drunk.”[/color]

Caden tore apart Cassi’s back room. His eyes were bloodshot after shifting back into his usual form. He glared at items he didn’t want and crushed many of Cassiopeia’s herbs underfoot as he tossed things aside, looking for specific ingredients. Usually, Caden knew this shop as well as the bookshelf in his own house. He could have found the items he was looking for easily, but he was exhausted from shifting so rapidly and drained from the emotions of the day. He wanted answers, and he wanted them now. Once he had the ingredients required, Caden broke the demon warding on Cassi’s shop and summoned a demon. 

The demon had barely registered their surroundings no sooner than Caden had his hand wrapped around their throat. [color=#006400]”You better have the answers I seek, or this will be a short trip for you.”[/color]
