"Let them watch if they come. Maybe they'll learn something," Caden teased, happily following Nero into the next room.
He grinned at their offer and squeezed Nero's hand.
"I would enjoy breaking some furniture with you," he said.
While they walked Caden let the dragon come closer to the surface. They searched Nero's property, looking for signs of things that should not be, of people who should not be around.
Something bounced off Caden's power, something that shouldn't be there. Caden stopped walking when the dragon growled inside his mind., warning him that their mate wasn't safe. Caden's eyes shifted back to the dragon, and he tugged on Nero's hand.
"Someone is watching," he said. Caden's voice held an air of authority and an otherness. It was still Caden's familiar cadence, but the dragon was with them.

Nero chuckles and shakes their head at Caden’s replies, squeezing his hand back three times as they lead him. When Caden stops and tugs on the imp’s hand, they turn to look at him. Hearing the dragon in Caden’s voice doesn’t alarm Nero as much anymore, but hearing that someone was watching has them ducking into his arms, hiding themselves in his torso.
“Can you tell who it is? I swear to god if it’s Ryan, I’m turning him into dust.” Although, Nero feels like if it was the German-speaking demon that they loved to always call by the wrong name, Caden would have recognized him… right?

Caden wrapped a protective arm around Nero when they curled into him. He knew his imp was dangerous enough to defend themselves, but the fact that Nero
chose to defer to Caden enraptured him.
Caden reached out with his power again to take a closer look at what was within the boundaries of Nero’s home, but besides being a demon, Caden didn’t know who it was.
Caden growled in annoyance.
”I don’t know who it is.” He wrapped his other arm around Nero.
”I need to get you out of here.”

Nero’s brow furrows - even though Caden didn’t individually meet every single one of their peons, he’d probably recognize one if it was one of them. The thought that not only was it someone unknown, but also a demon chills Nero to the core. Their hands clutch at Caden’s back as their mind starts going through possible escape maneuvers.
“Should I try teleporting us?”“Wait, no, the books in my office - we need to grab those before we leave.” Nero looks up at Caden with a pleading look.
“I don’t care about all the other stuff here, but those books…” The imp scans their dragon’s face.
“They likely hold the answers we need. I had my demons retrieve them from Hell as inconspicuously as I could… Scheisse…” They trail off, trying to think who it could be invading their property.
