Avery grinned and picked up two of the heavier axes. He turned around to find his mark. Avery rotated the axes in his hands effortlessly. He took a deep breath in, flipped both axes in the air before grabbing the handles and flung them at the wooden board. They landed evenly on either side of the bullseye, but that was fine because Avery wasn’t aiming for the bullseye. He simply wanted to frame it. The impressive part was that the axes were in line with each other.
Avery turned around and picked up a third axe. He winked at Kimiko before throwing the third and it hit the bullseye, right in between the two axes already in the target.

Of course Cassi’s face pinks when Jane started to laugh. Nic doesn’t tease Cassi, thankfully. He usually leaves that for when they are in private, instead, he explains more about why he’s going to Montana.
”Oh,” Cassi said, nodding over and over again. That made more sense. But how long was it, and what about her cats, or her plants? What about her shop and Nic’s plants? What if she was in the middle of a case? Cassi had never really, ‘gone away’ or had a vacation.
In the past, when she wanted to go somewhere new, she packed everything up and moved on. She had never just ‘gone away’ for the weekend. She supposed she could ask Kimiko to stay at her place if the girl was still around at that time. Maybe one of Caden’s employees would enjoy the change of scenery?
Her and Caden were still barely talking. They’d had a few conversations but brief and always in the presence of others. Cassiopeia still hadn’t moved past his involvement with Nero, and with the two of them going to New York for the weekend, it was almost like the last nail in the coffin for Cassiopeia. Caden was very obviously in love with Nero despite their past, and although it was admirable, Cassi struggled with the idea severely.
Stuck in a spiral of thoughts and anxiety, Cassi hadn’t realized she still hadn’t answered Nic or that she was staring at the floor, still nodding her head, and fiddling with her hair.
