Was talking to someone who worked in closed captioning who is now getting a new degree because so many companies are turning to AI to close caption now… Which AI is pretty shite at it still.

Nic raises an eyebrow as Cassi seems to think deeply about her next words before he smiles with a small chuckle. Maybe some horseback riding and a doll will make some good gifts for her. He doesn’t complain as he goes through the rest of the intimidating pile she’s set aside for him to try on, making sure she gets to see any new styles.
By the time they make it to the register and the total starts tallying up, Nic can feel that familiar dread in his stomach and the sweat starting to collect on the nape of his neck. He can afford it, he just knows he’ll need to be a little more mindful of any superfluous spending the next week.
He turns to pull his wallet out right as Cassi beats him to paying and he stares at her, a little impressed at how swiftly she pulls it off. “R-right…” He says slowly, not really sure how to react at first before he finally smiles. “I mean, thank you.”
Nero hesitates before they let out a sigh and wrap their arms around Caden in response. Celestial just makes them think of angelic offspring like Mundus, which is quite possible the last thing they want to think of while in Caden’s arms.
They close their eyes as his hand moves to their neck, letting their face bury in his shirt for the moment. “Du darfst nicht für mich sterben, okay?” They mumble, their hands starting to clutch at the sweater he wears.
Willow’s tail quickly wags back and forth with excitement. “Sure! Dinner sound- oh!” She squeaks in surprise as she’s lifted up by Rowan and her deep blush covers her face once more. Her wide brown eyes look up at him as he carries her and her arms wrap around his neck. “I-I could have walked…” She mumbles as the two of them reclaim his chair.
Xavier blinks, his attention refocusing on Killian again when his hand lay on his cheek. A light pink hue dusts his cheeks as he waits for the bear’s next words. He frowns, not having expected him to say this. “I don’t want to leave you here alone.” He counters, leaning forward to cup Killian’s face now and brushing some hairs off his forehead.
Nic dramatically sighs but smirks still. “As you wish - I am but a meager Ken doll in your hands.” He teases with a pat to her head before he ruffles her hair. “As much as I will gripe and groan during this, I know you’ll help me look like an actual adult after today.”
“Right, our land. Sorry.” Nero giggles before letting Caden continue. “Honestly, I’d probably be just fine taking on whoever crosses my path so wherever I roam, I should be safe.” They pause at the information regarding pixies, giving it a moment of thought at the aspect of it all, before they climb off of Caden’s back and give him some room.
At Caden’s reaction, Nero’s eyes widen and they wish they could see what he’s sensing. The red dragon starts to appear more clearly, worrying the imp that their mate might be losing their control again. They reach out to touch him before stopping themselves as they remember Caden’s warning concerning surprising his dragon. They watch as he finishes his work and stands, the reptilian appearance fading away to show Caden’s perfect face.
They smile, but their eyes still show concern until he talks. Even as he takes their hands, their brow remains furrowed. Something older than Caden and something his dragon has never encountered? The thought made Nero’s heart feel like it’s dropped to their stomach. “Perhaps…” They mumble, looking past Caden at nothing in particular.
“What could do that…?” They finally shift their gaze to look up at Caden.
Willow smiles with her cheeks still red, happy to hear Rowan’s promise. She hums a little as Rowan works through her hair, her tail wiggling about as she found herself pleasantly relaxed. When his attention turns to her ears, she thumps her foot a little before she can stop it and her face flushes. Hopefully Rowan didn’t notice.
Once the dryer is set down, she turns around and wraps her arms around Rowan and beams brightly up at him. “Thank you.” She says in her soft tone before continuing. “Do you think… we might be able to go on a date tonight?” It’d be their first official one going out and as much as he showed that he plans to keep her around, she wants to experience some normal dating rituals. “Unless of course you’re still busy.”
Xavier is patient as Killian talks, hearing clearly how hard it is for him. He refills the bear’s empty water cup. “Did they say how long you need to be observed for?” The wolf asks, placing the cup on the overbed table before sitting down. As much as he would love to be the one watching over Killian, he’s not sure he could with the mess his estate is in. He could do it for tonight and have the bear stay in his hotel, but if it’s needed longer… He holds back a sigh, not wanting to burden Killian with it all right now.
Nic beams brightly, both from Cassi’s compliment and from her calling him by his profession. It falters when she orders him to go back and keep trying more items on. “Do I have to show you every outfit?” He asks, a tiny bit of a childish pout to his tone.
“The shirts and pants can’t be that different from one another, right?” He chuckles sheepishly as he rubs the back of his neck. “Or do I get a kiss for every outfit, ‘cause then I don’t have a problem.”
Nero chuckles, always amused by Caden’s obsession with their legs. They make a small mental note to wear more shorts, skirts, and dresses more now that they aren’t expecting to deal with more demons anytime soon. With Caden and Avery’s help, Nero’s house now stood empty. The only missing items that Nero owns are in Hell.
His response to Nero’s nipping of his ear causes them to smirk lazily to themself. They aren’t opposed to spending an afternoon and night with Caden under the stars. “I should explore all your land at some point,” Nero observes as the two traverse into the woods. “Perhaps I’ll find a ‘Secret Garden’.” It’s a book they had read recently while Caden has slept. They won’t admit it to anyone, but the found the book to be endearing.
Nyx Heir the Wanderer
Hathforth, The Rose Inn
Skills: Shifting
In Collaboration With @Estylwen
“Oh, thank you miss!” Nyx says, linking their arms together. “Is the usual room available?” Rose smiled at the girls, looking the very definition of a doting mother or aunt, before she nodded.
“I’ve met Arwen a few times, walkin’ about the plaza and the pier with her flowers - didn’t realize the poor girl was an orphan ‘til I found her diggin’ through me garbage one night.” ‘Arwen’ blushed, looking down in embarrassment. Truthfully, Nyx had met this woman before she began working for Rhinecliff, the dwarven lady and herself becoming good friends. Now, she served as a great source of intel for Nyx, her bustling inn and tavern a popular place in the plaza.
Rose motioned for ‘Arwen’ to take the young lady up the stairs and to the room already set aside for this. “I’ll ‘ave your tea and snacks sent up soon.” She assured them, her doting smile still on her face.
Asteria happily gives her new friend's arm a squeeze, and they stayed linked at the arms all the way up the stairs. When they reached the door, Asteria crossed into the small, cheerful room with a smile on her face, naught a suspecting bone in her.
Deven made to follow, but Asteria put up a hand. “Deven, I know you mean well, but… I'd like a bit of privacy, if it's alright?”
“I'm tasked with keeping you safe, my lady. I thought we were past this.”
“Yes, well, I never get to do stuff like this. Come on, just for a half hour. You can watch the door, and make sure no one gets in, right?”
“Besides! No boys allowed.” Nyx added.
Deven kept his grumbling to a minimum, staring for a long moment, before making that fateful choice, and stepping back. Asteria nodded, and softly shut the door.
She then turned to Arwen, and beamed. “We're ready to begin! I'm so excited. Where would you like me to sit?”
Nyx gestured to a wooden chair beside a small round table, placing her flowers down on it. She was determined to let this girl have a normal day - or as normal as she could before putting her to sleep. Once Asteria sat down, Nyx began to brush through the pale hair and twisted it into two small braids on each side of her head, tying the strands off with ribbon. It’s in the same design that Nyx’s hair was styled in.
This, of course, was done on purpose as it would save Nyx a lot of time when it came to taking on the orphan’s appearance. “You have such lovely hair, m’lady! It’s so soft as well.” It was still hard for Nyx to properly wrap her head around why the Wizard Queen needed literal children to do her bidding. They should have had the chance to grow up normally, to just have the freedom of being a child.
“What do you like to do for fun, Lady Asteria?” Nyx asked nonchalantly.
Asteria sat there, a content smile on her face as Arwen gently braided her hair. Her answer was swift, and bubbly.
“Feeding the pigeons, of course.”
Her eyes cast over the small room as she recounted in her mind.
“In my estate, there's a tree in the courtyard. A special tree, large, by a small pond. The birds love to come and drink from the water. And…”
A small hesitation, before Asteria's voice grew soft.
“Well, my mother would sit with me and we'd feed the pigeons together. So it always makes me happy, when I see a pigeon or get the chance to feed it.”
She laughed a little. “Though, with how busy I am for Her Majesty, I don't often find the time to feed them. I often think about it, though.”
Nyx paused in her work, mid braid as she listened to this young girl’s wish to just feed the birds. “Oh, m’lady, I didn’t realize you worked for Her Majesty!” She responded in a hushed voice. “But surely she won’t mind if you take a breather every once in awhile…”
She walked in front of Asteria as if to check if the two sides were even, but kept her expression pensive. “D’ya come by the plaza and pier often, m’lady?” Nyx knew that what she was about to suggest, the Duke wouldn’t approve of, but… She couldn’t help herself at that moment. In her head, she came up with a plan to just tell Rhinecliff that she was building a relationship they could use, but she planned to manipulate the girl as little as possible. She’d find a way.
Asteria shook her head. “No, today is special. I have special business in the pier and plaza.”
“You can always send a letter to Miss Rose when you’re going to be back and we can go feed the pigeons together!” Nyx looked down at her feet, letting her ears and cheeks turn a dark red as if she was embarrassed. “That is… If ya want to hang out with a commoner like meself.” She tucked her hands behind her back and scuffed her feet just as Rose arrived outside the door with tea and snacks for the girls.
Asteria reached out and grabbed Arwen's hand, a reassuring smile on her face. “Of course I want to stay in your company, you've been very kind to me. Alas…”
Her face crumpled a bit. “Her Majesty is expecting me soon. I'm a bit, well, tied up today. And then I'm traveling far away…”
Still, her face held a bit of optimism. “When I return, I would love to feed the pigeons with you. That would… be very meaningful for me.”
Before her eyes lit up at the knock at the door, “Oh, is that our refreshments?”
“Must be!” Arwen said with glee, giving Asteria’s hand a squeeze before she made her way to open the door. “I think that’d be nice, m’lady. You just let Miss Rose here know when to expect ya and I’ll be there!”
Miss Rose nodded as she entered the room, seemingly overhearing the conversation. She made her way over to the table and gently pushed the flowers to the side as she placed down the tea, cups, small plates, and cakes. “Will you be needing anything else, m’ladies?” Arwen shook her head, beaming at being called a lady, but looked to Asteria in case she needed anything.
Asteria politely shook her head, but pulled out her coin purse and dropped a coin in Miss Rose's hand that would cover the sweets, plus a tip.
“Thank you.” Asteria told the innkeeper with a smile.
Soon she had a tea cup wrapped in her little fingers, beaming to herself as they enjoyed the room to themselves once more. Arwen was nearly done with her hair before Asteria spoke again.
“It's not often I get to make new friends, Arwen. I do hope I get to see you again.” She said sweetly, a soft look to her face.
Nyx’s expression softened immediately, nearly about to just let the child go just to ease her own guilt, but instead she smiled sweetly. “I hope I see you again too! I feel vorfreude for it.” Nyx stopped Asteria from falling out of her chair as she went limp, swiftly plucking the teacup from her fingers. “Hopefully you’ll be able to feed pigeons with your mother as you sleep…”
Picking her up in her arms, Nyx carried Asteria to the small bed in the room. Later, she would tuck her under the blankets and make sure that her face was obscured so that Deven would think it was Arwen taking a nap. She started to strip her clothes and Asteria’s in order to switch outfits as Nyx’s body started to shift into her form.
The process had always felt strange to Nyx - before the WIzard Queen had killed her lover, she’d never used the shapeshifting she had except as a parlor trick. This particular shift was no different and her gaze watched her arm as the skin changed from a warm chocolate hue to a pale porcelain tone. Though still strange, she found herself getting used to this constant shifting needed for her role and it worried her.
Nyx had first left her home to seek out the best of life in people and culture. Playing games of spy and espionage was never something she intended to do. She pulled on Asteria’s clothes, careful not to mess with the hair as she got dressed and pulled the covers over Asteria and Arwen’s clothing. Rose would come in once Nyx and Deven had left and dress the child, as well as letting Rhinecliff’s people know to come pick up the small girl.
Finished changing, Nyx stole a glance at the looking glass in the room and nodded, content with the results. She poured most of the tea and snacks out the window so it appeared that the two had eaten the refreshments provided before she opened the door.
“Deven, I apologize - I lost track of time. We should be heading off now.” She said in the soft voice of Asteria. “Let us go find my brother before he sends a search party.” She flashed a gentle smile to show she was joking before she led the way downstairs and back to the world waiting outside Rose Inn.
Willow pads softly out of the bathroom, comb, brush, and hair dryer in hand as she shoots Rowan a pleading glance. She’s dressed and ready to go out from their hotel, whether to go see Killian again or what. “Can you dry my hair and ears? I already got my tail,” She twists to show the bespeckled fluff sticking out of her jeans to Rowan before offering the tools in her hands to him.
“…I like it better when you do my hair and ears…” She says with a deep red blush on her cheeks. It’d been a couple of days since the Conan incident and Willow’s been released from the hospital since, but as Killian hasn’t yet, the bunny and her wolf had gotten an hotel to stay in. Since everyone’s been mostly busy since the incident, there hasn’t been many moments for just Willow and Rowan outside of cuddling in the same bed, but she’s determined to make a small moment at least.
“Mother please-” Xavier pauses in his pacing as he speaks on the phone outside of the hospital. The woman is yelling at him not to call her that and he can only sigh deeply in response. “Lillian then. Would you please just follow the outline of the email I sent you? It should make it easy to just-“ More yelling from the other line before Xavier is just fed up. He hangs up the phone and heads back inside.
During the last couple of days, Xavier has spent most of his time in Killian’s room. He had someone bring him some clothes and some other things so he could just stay by the Omega’s side, but he had also gotten an hotel room nearby in case the bear ever needed his space. He enters the room slowly and takes his seat by the bed. “How are we feeling today?” He asks Killian gently.
Nic makes a sheepish expression, feeling a bit childish but it is a large amount of clothing. He heads into the changing room and quickly chucks off his clothes before pulling on the first outfit on the hangers. When he glances at the mirror, he admits he looks good - which is no surprise given that his only ‘abnormality’ in his appearance is his height. The clothes fit him well and the colors and patterns are appeasing to the eye.
He steps out of the changing room and flashes Cassi a smile. “Now I know this is hard, but try to resist your desire to find me incredibly attractive right now.” He teases with his lopsided grin.
“This pleases me.” Nero chirps with a catlike smile before they’re picked up. They follow Caden’s instructions and laughs a little. “Well, I think it’s marvelous but I’ll probably wear some shorts or pants next time.” They rest their chin on his shoulder and hum in satisfaction.
“It grants me some easy access to attack your neck and ears though.” They quickly nip at his earlobe to prove their point.
