Nero happily accepts Caden’s help getting into the SUV, wrapping their arms loosely around the man’s neck to kiss him back before settling back into their seat and pulling their seatbelt on. “I’m okay with this.” They tell Caden. “Unless you want to try driving with me in your lap.” Nero suggests in a teasing tone.

Kiki makes an interesting grumbling noise, trying to make it deep like Avery’s voice before playfully nipping at him. She turns and hides her head in the crook of Avery’s neck. While she’s still frustrated with Caden, a voice in the back of her mind reminds her that her explosive outburst of anger was not his fault. No, it’s an accumulation of her bottling everything up and finding the closest person who made her the slightest bit angry recently.

Nero glances at the wolf and the fox, feeling a little bit of joy in seeing the two grow closer, before they tug on Caden’s jacket sleeve. “Maybe you should drive?” Nero suggests quietly as they see the fox stretch up, placing their front paws on Avery’s thigh before they’re out of sight.

The imp squeezes Caden’s hand three times before stretching to kiss Caden’s cheek. “Well, I got my chaos wish granted, I can sleep happily tonight.” They remark happily.

Kiki nods, pushing her head into Avery’s hand gently before trying to climb his leg. She bats a paw at him, wanting him to hold her, even if he had to set her aside to drive, she still just wanted to be held. She lets out a strange whine, like the one she had made towards him in the forest.

Kiki glares at Caden, not knowing where all this anger for him is coming from. The large angry tears keep falling down her face and she tries to stop any sobs but biting her lip. With closed fists, she starts hitting Caden on the chest with the base of her hands, not putting much force into it before she slowly stops and starts to sob instead.

Unable to exactly control herself, her body shifts fully into her fox form, her clothes falling to the floor around her for the most part. Not wanting Caden to touch her any further, she hops over to Avery and leans against his leg instead.

“Oh! She’s adorable as a fox!” Nero hadn’t really gotten a good look of the form when they fought the Chicago pack and has to stop themselves from picking up the little fox and cuddling it. Instead, the imp goes back to stand by Caden, wanting to know if he’s okay. Emotionally, of course, since they assume Kiki’s punches did very little damage to their dragon.

Nyx tries her best to replicate Duke Rhinecliff’s carefree demeanor as Willowsteel demands the duke to tell the court what he’s hiding. Inwardly, Nyx rolls her eyes and sighs as she thinks to herself. This brutish oaf does not know how to hold his liquor. When he steps closer, Nyx puts her hands up and chuckles awkwardly.

“I can see you have enjoyed the libations plenty tonight, Duke Willowsteel. However, I have no idea what you could mean.” Nyx shows the crowd of nobles an easygoing smile. “Surely, this is the gold-touch wine speaking, my friend.“ The crowd starts to whisper, nodding their heads in agreement with Rhinecliff’s words.

It’s Altina’s reaction that makes Nyx want to flee this gala, the tall woman challenging the drunkard to a duel. The changeling slinks their way over to Duchess Agustria and stands by her side while eyes are on the growing tension between Willowsteel and Altina.

Nero glances between the two, the fox and the dragon. Caden had been a bit forceful in pushing the demon, so they figure that this is no longer just playful banter. They still kiss Caden’s cheek before leaving his side and joining Avery. They raise an eyebrow when Caden antagonizes Kiki further, wondering what Caden is planning here, but also ready to jump in if needed.

As Kiki blinks, staring at Caden with a look of pure rage, she growls. Two fluffy ears have sprouted on her head as a little piece of lint on the floor sparks with a pinkish flame. “You want to repeat that??” She says in a hiss, glaring at Caden as she steps closer. “How in the bloody hell do you think I found out about it!?”

Kiki’s eyes shift, the irises similar in color to her fire and almost dance like the flames themselves. “The difference would have been a normal conversation with Avery about it all! Like how couple normally bring up their exes. If you had told me, maybe I wouldn’t have been such a neurotic mess around my boyfriend! I deserve normal after what happened to me!!” Tears sting Kiki’s eyes, the hot liquid rolling down her flushed cheeks as she shouts at Caden.

Kiki keeps her gaze cool as she regards Caden and his words. “Always the smooth talker.” She says with a snort. “You could have at least told me after the fact - let me know that you had the conversation.” She tries not to let her frustration get the better of her - it’s not that big of a deal - but she feels the frustration that’s built over the last week and a half.

Kiki can’t take her frustration out on Levi or Terrance, but Caden on the other hand is standing right there. She feels herself grow hotter and barely notices the tail that’s popped out, lifting her short blue dress up. “And does Nero know?” She asks through gritted teeth. “Or did you conveniently forget to tell them too?”

Nero’s head tilts as he glances between all of them as their brain reads between the lines. “Caden, my love, are there any other ‘family’ of yours that you’ve slept with?” They say it in a very light and teasing tone. Nero knows he was a bit of a playboy before the two started growing closer, so it comes as no surprise that Caden slept with Kiki at some point. They plant a kiss on his cheek as he leans into them. Movement in their peripheral makes them look over at the fox and they see a bushy white tail twitching behind Kiki, the tip of it a pinkish-orange hue.

Kiki clenches her jaw, a weird creepily sweet smile on her face as it starts to grow red. “Oh, I dunno,” She’s about to start shouting, but stops herself after glancing at Nero. They switch to French, knowing Avery can speak it whereas Nero cannot. This is just in case Caden had forgotten to tell Nero in the same way he forgot to tell Kiki.

“Peut-être pour avoir parlé à Avery de notre aventure sans m'en parler d'abord.”

Kiki flashes her eyes at Caden, waiting to hear Caden’s explanation before she gets any more angry. Last thing she wants is having ears or a tail pop out in front of Caden. While she’s still happy that Avery already knew about the two of them and didn’t have qualms with it, a heads up at the very least would have been appreciated.

Kiki catches Avery’s smirk and glares at him playfully before she stands up and crosses her arms over her chest as Caden approaches, turning a not-playful glare at him. “Nero, be a dear and hold Caden still for a moment.”

Nero tilts their head, but smirks. “And here Caden said no chaos until tomorrow after breakfast.” The demon does wrap an arm securely around Caden though, wanting to see what this is all about.

“I think you forgot to talk to me about something.” Kiki says to Caden.

Kiki starts to frown, worried she’d done something wrong to make Avery take her off his lip until he places his hands on either side of her. Her eyes brows raise and her face flushes as she realizes why he had moved her. “O-oh.” She nods her head in agreement before she sees movement from the jet and peeks her eyes over Avery’s shoulders.

Nero grins as they hold Caden’s hand. “You’re lucky I love you.” They say before following Caden’s gaze and see Avery and Kiki by one of his SUVs. They stretch up on their legs so they can whisper to Caden. “Maybe our weekend away helped them too.” They guess.

Kiki smiles innocently at Avery. “That’ll depend on how good of an excuse he comes up with.” She looks around, biting the corner of her lip as she makes sure no one’s looking their way. She half hops onto his lap with a small smile.

“Why? Are you worried about lil’ ol’ me?”

Nero grins widely and shakes their head as they chant, “Chaos, chaos, chaos.” They say with their best gremlin voice as they faux stomp in a circle around Caden before they chuckle and wrap their arms around him. “Alright, you have peace in your lands until dawn breaks.”
