The primal urge to obsessively access your uni portal to see if your classes have been released, so you can read the syllabi thirty-seven times before class next week.

Sad because it was a long weekend for the other colonies. Like Canada and Australia

Bio



You seem to be under the impression that I made my choices because of you. No, I made them for me. I discovered my self worth again. I remembered my strength and understand now that I am worth more.

Avery grinned and relaxed his hand back onto Kimiko’s calves and shins. ”Yes you are, and always make sure to be on the lookout for heffalumps and woozles,” Avery said, winking at Kimiko. He continued his work of massaging her legs.

”We’ll get everything worked out,” he said, confident in himself and in Kimiko.

The sound of Nic’s voice is distant, despite being on the other side of the door. Cassi stood in the middle of her bedroom, staring at the door, willing Nic to just walk inside. She looked down at her bandaged finger and nodded before remembering Nic couldn’t see her.

”I think so…You can come in,” she said, swallowing past the lump in her throat that suddenly formed. She could feel her eyes starting to prick, and she didn’t really want to cry in front of Nic again.

Caden can feel Nero trembling, and wraps his other hand around Nero’s. He squeezed Nero’s hands and looked back at the glass case.

”I don’t believe in coincidences.” Caden looked back at Nero and drew their face up to look at him. ”We don’t have to do anything about it now, but I believe you are the rightful owner of that sword, Nero.”

Avery’s hands stilled on Kimiko’s legs. He looked at her, running a hand up her leg and squeezing the back of her thigh.

”Kiki, you’re stronger than you think. You can’t stay up all night,” he gently scolded her.

Cassiopeia sat on the floor of her room, crying and squeezing her hand with the towel to slow the bleeding until no more tears fell. Stupid, stupid, stupid.

She didn’t mean what she said about Nic’s family. She was glad Ren was still alive, and maybe Nic was right about letting go and moving on, but Cassi couldn’t bring herself to do it. She was all that was left of her family. If she let them go, where did that leave her?

Cassi slowly got to her feet and walked into her bathroom. She rummaged around, looking for bandages for her finger.

She felt suddenly drained, wanting nothing more than to apologize to Nic and crawl into her bed. But she couldn’t bring herself to leave her room, even after she had her finger bandaged.

Caden’s favourite collection had always been his swords and other old weapons. It was the only thing he travelled with when he moved homes and the only thing he permanently kept in his personal collection. He knew every sword intimately. So when Nero mentioned the initial, Caden knew exactly what sword they were talking about.

”Komm mit mir.” Caden grabbed a robe from the back of the door and wrapped Nero in it before taking their hand. He pulled them along to his study, where his collection of swords sat in glass cases.

The sounds of demolition and construction filled the normally silent house, but Caden ignored it all. He pulled Nero into his study and shut the door behind them. Once the door shut, the sounds of renovating vanished. Caden walked over to one of the glass cases where three swords sat in a series. It was a progression of German swords and their evolution, the one on the bottom being one of the oldest and the top the newest. Caden looked at the sword on the bottom, the engraved ‘W’ suddenly standing out sharply, even though it had faded over time.

”Ist es das?”

Avery chuckled, looking back at Kimiko’s legs and applied more pressure to his touch. He started to gently massage her legs, his eyes drifting up to her tattoo again as he spoke.

”I think you read my mind first, then. I wanted to do this as soon as I pulled you closer.” His fingers and thumb moved along the sides of her shin bone, massaging out the smaller muscles and tendons in her leg that were responsible for things like shin splits and ankle mobility.

”I’m sure there is something more exciting for you to do than cook for me while I run around in the forest scarring squirrels.”

Cassiopeia filled the sink with water. The steam curled around the tap as she filled it and dumped dishes into the water angrily. She shut the water off and rested her hands on the side of the sink.

”Closure? You think I want closure for what happened to my family? For watching them be slaughtered in front of me? No Nic, I want revenge and the one person, the one thing I can get that from, is mated to my best friend. And even after finding out, he’s still with them, doing goddess knows what while I’m here reliving the worst day of my life over and over and over again.” She plunged her hand into the sink to scrub furiously at something but forgot there was a knife.

Cassi hissed in shock more than pain, pulling her hand out of the water and staring at the cut on her finger. It wasn’t a horrible cut, but it was deep enough to bleed and drip into the water. Cassi's demeanour shifted as she stared at her hand, an eerie sort of calm washing over her. Her voice took on a melodic ancient tone, one that was older than her body's twenty-seven winters.

”Have you ever read the play Macbeth? The one with the witches and the Lady who murdered the king with her husband? She’s plagued with nightmares about the murder and starts to obsessively rub her hands to get the blood off them, even though there is no blood. ‘Out, damned spot; out, I say!—One, two: why then, ’tis time to do’t. Hell is murky’,” she quoted.

”I rarely slept after that night, but when the exhaustion would claim me, I would have nightmares. I would wake up screaming, trying to scrub their blood off my skin. For years, I thought I killed them all because I broke off the engagement. I was never the type to want to kill myself, but I didn’t want to live anymore, either. What was the point? I had nothing left. Then, more villages were being wiped clean of witches. The final sweep of the witch trials. More demons were coming to claim souls. I started dabbling in blood magic, and I saved as many people as I could. I saved Caden’s family and Caden, and now I have a chance to put the nightmares to rest, and he’s with the demon that could end that for me. And you want me just to let it all go?”

Cassi looked up from her bleeding hand and stared at Nic. A blue fire burned in her eyes. The colour of the hottest flame with the deepest burn.

”I tracked the thing that killed your mother and took your father. I saved your father and gave you back a piece of your family. I will never get mine back.”

Cassi grabbed a towel, wrapped her hand, and left the kitchen. She took the stairs and headed for her bedroom. She shut the door and slid to the floor before she started to cry.

”Meine Schwertsammlung. Ich habe Stücke aus Großbritannien, aber auch aus Deutschland. In einige von ihnen sind Zaubersprüche oder Initialen eingraviert. Einige sind schlicht. Erinnern Sie sich an das Schwert, das Sie benutzt haben? Oder die deines Vaters?”

From day one Nero had been drawn to those swords, and now Caden was wondering if there really had been a reason behind the little imp’s penchant for sharp, shiny things.

Avery smirked as he watched Kimiko’s eyes close because of his touch. He loved that he could have an effect like this on her. Stealing his courage, Avery moved his other hand and pulled Kimiko’s other leg onto her lap. She was eating her bowl of fruit now, anyway. She could be more relaxed. He started rubbing her legs with his hand again before answering her question.

”Steak usually. Rare, but still warm. Over-buttered and spiced potatoes, cornbread, ribs, asparagus. Pie,” Avery said with a smile.

Cassiopeia’s focus remained on the empty plates while Nic spoke, but she wasn’t really seeing them. She ripped her hand out of his when Nic took it and stood. She gathered up the plates and set them with a clatter into the sink.

”I really don’t care, and he really has no business knowing anything about my life anymore. Besides, I thought you wanted us to do our own thing in Montana.”

Caden opened the door and turned to look at Nero. ”If I remember, you didn’t let your size stop you from trying to become a knight. If you can wield a sword, you can read a thirteen-century book.”

Caden’s eyes shifted, and he looked behind him, falling silent. He looked slowly back at Nero. ”Where did you do your knight training?”

Avery frowned at Kimiko’s reveal. He knew she was no longer at that school and looked well and healthy to him now, but the idea that his mate had once upon a time been in less-than-ideal conditions infuriated him. However, when Kimiko placed her leg over his, that thought completely drifted from his mind.

He looked down at her leg, his eyes scanning her leg unconsciously for any bruises or damage while he named the muscles in her leg. His eyes paused on her tattoo, having never really looked at it before.

Avery committed her breakfast carbs list to memory, knowing he could make everything on her list, including crepes, and would make it all for her one day. He looked up at Kimiko when she mentioned fairy bread. He smirked at her once more.

”Fairy bread?” After Kimiko’s leg had shifted to be more in Avery’s lap, he rested a hand on top of her shin, slowly rubbing his thumb and then running his fingers along her leg as they spoke.

Cassiopeia’s smile faltered at the mention of Caden. She looked down at their empty plates for a long moment before speaking.

”And why would he have offered such a thing?” There was a hint of annoyance in her voice, but it was only minor.

”And who’s fault is that?” Caden teased them. He rolled up his sleeves, leaning over as he did so to kiss Nero’s nose before he made his way to the bedroom door.

Avery finally understood why Caden had Nero close all the time. There was a need within Avery to have some part of him touching Kimiko at all times. A reassurance that she was there and that she was okay. That she was his. Avery slid his hand along Kimiko’s leg, resting his hand on her knee and resumed his eating. What he really wanted to do was pull her legs onto his lap, but he didn’t think she would be able to eat well like that. He didn’t need Kimiko in his lap like Nero was always with Caden, but close was good. Close was better.

”Carb load and sugar intake. Good for when you are on the go or shifting a lot,” Avery noted. ”You need the protein, too, especially after a big or long shift. I’ll hunt tonight, but even with that, I’ll probably eat half the kitchen,” Avery joked.

”So do you do that with any carb, or is it mainly just waffles and pancakes you eat like biscuits?”

Cassiopeia blushed at Nic’s continued praise. She shrugged it off, tossing her hand nonchalantly, and ate more of her breakfast.

”It was nothing. I was already in the kitchen cooking,” she said simply. She laughed, though, when Nic told her to be careful.

”I am afraid that ship has long since passed, besides, I don’t mind if people know how much I like you,” she said, smiling happily at Nic.

”You still haven’t finished that?” Caden looked at Nero, a bemused expression on his face. He shook his head with a chuckle and went to get dressed.

He pulled on a pair of blue linen slacks, and paired it with a simple white and blue collared shirt. There was no need to impress today, but Caden still wanted to look presentable due to the new faces in the house.

Zain Anders



Zain’s eyes flickered over to the flashing light. Sprocket’s quick movements of them disarming it gave him pause, and he eyed Sprocket curiously. He accepted the cup of coffee from them but didn’t drink from it. The spider-bots moving around Zain made his skin twitch, but he didn’t take his focus off Sprocket.

”You undervalue the information you have just provided me with, Sprocket darling. And the means my boss uses to get that information.”

He looked over the Neural-Assistant she showed him with mild interest. It was low grade, nothing of significance, but it was better than what he had. However, if it was time Sprocket wanted, then he needed something better than this.

”Time is a valuable thing. If I’m to give you time, then I need something that is worth it. Because giving you time means losing time for me.” Zain kept one eye trained on Sproket, waiting for her to give him a list of what goods she had, and one eye scanned the room looking for any way out should he need a quick escape.

Avery raised an eyebrow when Kimiko choked on her food.

”Well, it tastes dry, plain, does it not? Adding syrup or even fruit to it would make a bit better I would think.”

While Kimiko talked, Avery found himself slowing in his eating. He sat back in his seat, wanting to extend the meal rather than finish it in a rush, if only to prolong the conversation with Kimiko. He hooked his foot around the leg of her chair and pulled her closer.

He gave Kimiko a wry smirk before he laughed. ”Pancakes like biscuits? Why on earth?”

Cassiopeia beamed from Nic's approval of her smoothie and praise for breakfast.

”Just because I prefer not to cook doesn't mean I can't. Cooking is like making spells or potions. And I am nothing but precise with my work,” Cassi said happily. ”I also made you some things for your lunch and snacks. I'm not sure what you normally do but I figured you would need more food than not today after your workout.”

Caden picked up his watch to examine the time before he continued to dry off. ”They should be here already and getting started,” Caden said. ”Is there anything you would like to do today? I'm afraid it won't be much fun as I have to make all those phone calls to the museum's and archives to discuss my collection.”

”It would make sense,” Avery agreed. He headed out the back door and set up at the table. Avery sighed happily as he sat down and immediately started eating.

It wasn't as if he worked up an appetite this morning, but he was eating in anticipation of a long shift. One he was looking forward to. He looked up at Kimiko and her waffles.

”Why do you like them dry?”

Cassiopeia looked at Nic quizzically before returning to her meal. She rolled her eyes when he mentioned her smoothie.

”No, it's something I had a long time ago. It's really rather delicious and refreshing. The frozen yogurt smoothes it out. It's like the Pina coladas more healthy, in shape cousin,” she said before drinking her smoothie happily.

The staff made up two plates of waffles and bacon made up for them. Avery had them fill a dish of fruit for them as well. There were no strawberries yet, but the truck would be delivering all that later in the day. They also piled another plate full of bacon for Avery.

Avery handed Kimiko a plate and the fruit before he grabbed his two plates, thanked the chef, and headed out of the kitchen.

”Maybe…I like your blush, though. I could talk to Bran as well. Maybe he'll know something about Kitsune, as well,” Avery suggested.

”Orange juice, apple juice, coffee, tea, and water,” she listed off and made her own plate up before sitting at the table in her kitchen.

”I'll probably be able to heal it to the point where it might start to itch, so make sure you apply lotion to it today and don't scratch. Pat at it if it really bothers you.” Cassi sipped her smoothie before she ate her bacon.
