Avery followed behind Kimiko happily. He took in more of her outfit, feeling a healthy appreciation for how good Kimiko looked and how well she dressed. When he reached the room he shared with her, Avery hovered in the doorway until he heard Nero and Caden's door closed. He glanced at Kimiko when she asked how Nero was doing and sighed. Avery stepped into the bedroom before shutting the door behind him.

[color=#B0C4DE]”They're putting on a brave front but I don't think they're okay. Even the prank didn't light up their eyes like it usually would. I know why Caden ran, I hardly blame him, I just wish he didn't for Nero's sake.”[/color] Avery leaned against the closed door with his arms crossed. He stared at a spot on the floor with his brow furrowed. [color=#B0C4DE]”I've never seen Caden lose control like that.”[/color]

Since Kiki was in the room Cassiopeia normally occupied if she spent the night at Caden's, she led Nic to the guest side of the house. She picked a room she had helped decorate. It was mainly white with light brown trimmings and accents. Green, yellow, white, and orange plants decorated the room with black and white pictures of famous movie scenes and piano players. 

Cassi tossed their borrowed clothes on the bed before she flipped onto the lounge chair by the windows. She pulled her legs under her dress and sat cross legged on the chair, with her head tilted back and stared at the ceiling.

[color=#DB7093]”No,”[/color] she said simply. Cassiopeia opened the bottle of whiskey without looking and lifted her head to take a healthy swig from the bottle. 

Cassi set the bottle on the table beside her seat. A record player sat nestled in the corner with a few records tucked underneath. She leaned over and selected a Nat King Cole album to play quietly. Once the soft baritone of [url=https://youtu.be/mae_NJ_12sc?si=OoFYIg1j9srT-1wX]Cole's voice[/url] filtered through the speaker, Cassi's attention returned to Nic.
