Aethel begins to usher guests into the amphitheater once again with a lazy smile. It’d been nearly a month since the last event and their marketing team’s hard work seems to have paid off with how many new faces the Beowulfs see. Xavier barely gives Aethel a glance before he trudges to the table where he had met Killian and Rowan for the first time all those weeks ago. Him claiming that spot convinced anyone else to go anywhere else.

He and Killian had spoken briefly through texts, but Rowan’s assistant was true to his word about being busy with his work. It gave Xavier the time to practice for the LSAT. He hasn’t told anyone about this, outside of mentioning that he was researching laws a month ago to Killian. He wants to wait until he’s officially passed the admission test for law school before telling anyone. Plus, he has to think of how he’s going to tell his family about it. A server makes eye contact with him and brings over both a scotch and a hibiscus tea, the second being something he’s been drinking even more often as of late.

It’s Nic’s turn to make a noise of surprise as Cassi tugs him towards her. He blinks a couple of times before clearing his throat and smiling. “Well, yes, of course. But it doesn’t hurt to be cautious.” He says, slipping his phone away before putting his hand on the elevator wall above Cassi to lean against as he looks down at her. “And you’ll protect me, won’t you?”

Nero beams brightly before kissing Caden back before he pulls away. With the new onslaught of smell, the imp wiggles excitedly, eager to taste the next round of food. “Okay, what should I try first?” They ask of him, not noticing how alert he’s being. It’s for the best - Nero knows what happens if they start showing fear, so they bury it deep down instead and focus on more important matters. Like food!

Kiki blushes each time Avery groans. She knows it’s natural and that it means she’s doing a good job, but she can’t help that her mind goes straight to other ways to elicit the sound from him. “You know, you’re a pretty good teacher for not even seeing what I’m doing.” She says after clearing her throat like it will help banish the degenerate thoughts she gets about Avery.

“There is so much tension down here.” She says as she starts to struggle getting some of the more tough knots out near his hips.

Asteria herself nodded smoothly to Arwen. ”Your flowers are very pretty, Arwen. I would love them in my hair. You think it would look pretty?” She said, smiling, blissfully innocent.

@Estylwen

Nyx feels a small pang in her heart, painfully aware of how innocent this child is despite the deeds the Wizard Queen no doubtably forced her to do. Who else but that vile woman would use orphans to do her dirty work? Outwardly, Nyx just smiles widely and nods enthusiastically. “Oh, the yellow and orange will really stand out with your beautiful, snowy hair!” She hops from foot to foot in an excited matter, portraying an excited little girl who’s found herself a new friend.

“Do you have any spare ribbon, m’lady? To tie off the braids?” Nyx asks as she leads Asteria and Deven to a nearby inn. “If not, I have some here. I know it ain’t up to your standards, m’lady, but I know the innkeeper here – I’m sure she’d let us borrow one of her rooms!” She lets herself really start thinking like a child, just her and her friend spending the afternoon together making flower crowns and plucking petals to see if their crush likes them back. Nyx really wishes she could provide that for this child.

‘Arwen’ leads them into the inn, the wall between the little lobby and the dining hall doing little to block the noise of rowdy patrons. A plump redhead comes through the door, yelling for the customers to keep the racket down over her shoulder. When she turns and lays her eyes on ‘Arwen’, she puts on a big grin. “Little Arwen, is that you? I can’t believe me eyes, look at ya! You’ve grown into a fine young lady!” Her eyes move past a bashful Nyx and land on Asteria and Deven. “And who’s this? Did’ya get yourself a lil friend?”

“Aye, Miss Rose! She’s gonna let me braid my flowers into her hair!” ‘Arwen’ says proudly with a big grin herself.

Xavier & Aethel Beowulf

Xavier knows it’s only a small thing, but the fact that Killian didn’t push him away and even patted him on the chest gives him some hope that there might be a future for the two of them. Humming, he’s lets Killian rejoin the party while he heads to his chambers to grab the clothes for the Omega.

“Aw Killian, you’re back. How splendid.” Aethel winks, tapping his phone in his hand in a way to say he got the message. “Rhett, take the remaining guests into the parlor, let them mingle comfortably while I handle Mister Kimb’s purchases.”

Rhett Beowulf gives his brother a flat look before he beckons for the Omegas and three remaining guests other than Rowan to follow. The next room is just off to the side of the hall, filled with couches, armchairs, and small tables. Perfect for ending the night. Willow aims to go find a spot when one of the Alphas starts talking to her, leading her to a loveseat with him to talk. She tries not to show disappointment, but she tells herself this will be the last time. Just one last night and then the next time she’ll see Rowan will be at the auction where she’ll go home with him.

Xavier hums to himself, a small smile gracing his lips. “So, what you’re saying is that I can take you out on a date?” He says, humor coloring his gruff voice as he smirks a little. When he glances over at Killian by his side, he notices the pink hue in his cheeks. He tries to resist the temptation, knowing that the Omega doesn’t like to be touched, but he can’t help but think of how the bear always traces his warm cheeks. He reaches out after a moment’s hesitation, his knuckles brushing gently along the warm skin under Killian’s eyes before he pulls back.

“I’ll go fetch them for you while I get a new scent patch.” He clears his throat, feeling his cheeks warm to match the bear’s. Yeah, he should definitely go and get those now before he pushes the Omega too far… Even if he does feel a sudden urge to kiss him.

The crowd is dissipating as guests begin to leave, talking in loud whispers of purchasing Willow or Aurora at the auction taking place soon. The line for dancing with Willow has finally disappeared and she feels like she can join the throng around Aethel without drawing too much suspicion now. The other Omegas that Aethel hadn’t beckoned over must feel the same, as they join the small crowd.

“Oh, well this makes it easier. Line up for me, you scrumptious little Omegas.” Aethel says with his lazy smirk before he starts going down the line. “Jade here rustled up lots of attention, so she’ll be at the auction even with Aurora and Willow.” He walks past those three and continues. “Diamond and Kitty as well - those will be the five at the next event, our auction, so they’re not available tonight. These two foxes and three cats barely got one buyer interested, so if you want them, they’re yours.”

Rubbing his chin, Nic nods as his attention is distracted for a moment by Cassi’s hips swaying. As he catches up to her in the elevator, he gives her bum a light smack. “That’ll work then - I’d rather just cause some irritation instead of recklessly hurting someone.” He pulls out his phone, opening it to find out where he might find some silver supplements.

“Besides, it might make me even more of a target if I’m suddenly hurting someone supernatural.” They’re alone in the elevator as it goes up to his floor.

Nero hums as Caden touches their leg. Ever since that day they had teleported into his pool and then shucked their pants off, he’d been obsessed with their legs and the imp was definitely okay with that. “Oooo! Orange cake?” Nero says, eyes wide with eager delight at the thought. They of course want to just get one of everything, but Caden did say that was for special occasions, not every outing. “That, I want that.” They declare.

Kiki’s ears turn bright pink when Avery calls her his little fox. Damn him. She thinks as she watches him smirk at her. She grabs the other half of the strawberry she had been eating before and polishes it off before she climbs onto the beck. The cracking of his bones alarms Kiki at first, but then she realizes how hard the past four days must have been for him.

“Well, I’m spoiling you right now, so it’s whatever you want.” She reminds him, kissing his head before she straddles Avery and puts some of the oil on his back. She uses her fingers to try and find knots before switching to her knuckles to massage them out.

Xavier nods as he follows a couple steps behind - gym clothes it is. “They should be free of that.” He assures Killian while he stares at his back. A funny thought occurs to him, making him chuckle as he realizes he already misses seeing the bear’s tail wiggling to and fro. He feels his phone vibrate in his pocket, suspiciously after Killian’s put his away.

“You have nothing to apologize for. I’m the one who triggered you unknowingly… but, I am glad I got to know you a little better.”

—

Aethel turns and flashes a bright smile at Rowan as he approaches. “More gifts?” He asks, raising an eyebrow and tilting his head. “The cats are available tonight and a couple of the foxes that aren’t garnering attention.” He tell him, beckoning the Omegas he’s referring to.

Xavier watches Killian closely, his eyes following his movements as he buttons his jacket before doing the same for Xavier. A small smiles curls the Alpha’s lips from the small gesture. “I can do that,” He readily agrees, not even giving it a second thought. “I, uh… I have some gym clothes I haven’t had laundered yet… Would you like those?”

He rubs the back of his neck, embarrassed about the fact that he has unwashed clothing from something so sweaty like working out. “Or, I can give you what I’m wearing right now at the end of the night, or whenever you and Mister Kimb leave.” The light blush in his cheeks starts to come back.

Xaiver’s cheeks turn pink and he glances away from Killian. “Hmm, perhaps I was being too forward then…” He says as his eyes wander around the courtyard and take in the pleasant solitude of the garden. Then he looks back at the bear in his arms in alarm. “Hold on… a week?” Never before has the eldest son of the Beowulf clan been so invested in someone as specifically as he is with Killian.

“How do you even manage? Is there anything that helps? Have you talked to an Omega doctor about it?” He starts to ramble a bit, concerned with how much Killian has to bear because of one man. He vows to himself right there that if he ever finds the Alpha responsible, he’ll see to it that they suffer.

Happy that Cassi is up for trying the idea out, Nic grins lopsidedly, opening the door to the apartment building to usher her inside. “I can’t wait to start testing,” He says with boyish excitement.

“It won’t actually hurt Avery, right? I’m looking for more of a reaction to touching silver as a kind of radar.” The two head into the elevator.

Nero smiles brightly back at Caden. “Then I’ll let you choose which one I wear.” The imp declares with an assertive nod of their head before they go back to eating the food off their plate. They pause after a bite and look back at Caden. “What kind of desserts does Morocco have?”

Kiki snorts, shaking her head at him. “Do you even know how attractive you are to me? I can’t imagine waiting that long to…” She trails off, taking a deep breath as she grabs the bottle of oil and turns to walk to the bed. Even with pink ears, she still sways her hips in exaggeration for Avery.

“Come along, little pup.” She calls over her shoulder. “Or I really will start without you.” Wherever this faux confidence comes from, she intends to use it to the best of her ability.
