Skills: Fit
Caden stopped to look over the rings with Nero. He admired them as much as they did. Caden had been thinking of getting Nero an engagement or wedding ring. When they finally bonded, that link would be stronger than any marriage. Still, Caden had this idea that they might wear a ring, just as he would. A statement for anyone else who saw. Just like the necklace Nero wore was a statement.
Nero took the glove off their right hand, and Caden looked at the salesperson. He nodded, telling the salesperson to continue, but tapped his own ring finger on the right hand. Nero was dainty, which told Caden the ring would likely fit on either hand. It just had to be the correct finger.
”This style comes in white, rose, or yellow gold,” the salesperson informed the couple before sliding the ring onto Nero’s right ring finger.

Avery grinned but shrugged.
”Who knows, maybe. It isn’t common but our mate bond isn’t traditional. However, someone has to accept it first,” Avery said and kissed Kimiko’s cheek before he jogged over to the forest.
It took Avery fifteen minutes to fully shift. He tried to move it along as best as he could, knowing Kimiko might grow worried, but he could only push himself so quickly. The pain of shifting and breaking bones to form a new body could only be pushed so quickly.
Avery stretched out his four-legged body, shaking out his coat, which had already started to thicken with the coming winter season. Once he felt stable, the wolf sauntered out of the woods to greet the sun and his mate across the yard.
Avery’s yellow eyes picked out Kimiko quickly before they scanned the house behind her, and the one on the side pushed back into the trees. Avery could see movement in the house, but he knew they were safe in the field. There was nothing here but prey and pack.
Avery walked across the yard, eating the distance with his long stride. He walked right up to Kimiko and scented the air around her. He huffed in contentment before he sat down. Avery’s yellow eyes watched Kimiko intently, waiting.
A slight breeze ruffled his white and grey hair. The underside and base of Avery’s coat were white, while the grey peppered along his back and ears. Grey and white mixed together to give his face a mask, while his nose almost looked red. The tri-colours were representative of where Avery haled from in the United States. That also contributed to his size. If Kimiko remembered the Chicago pack at all, she would be able to easily see Avery was bigger than them. Not only because he was a wolf from the West, but because he was an alpha.
Avery huffed again before pawing the ground, his way of indicating his impatience. The wolf wanted to go for a run.
Cassiopeia Claire Alistair
Location: Ren's House – Chicago, IL
Skills:
Cassiopeia hummed to herself and spoke tender Gaelic words as she worked. For the plants who wished to remain, she did her best to prepare them for the coming cold months. They would either come back in the spring or they would not. Cassi could hardly blame them. They had grown fond of Nic’s parents tending to them.
Once Cassi was done, she gathered everything back up and started to bring the plants around to the front of the house, resting them on the front step until it was time to leave.
