Cassiopeia Claire Alistair
Location: Cassi's House – Chicago, IL
Skills:
Cassiopeia blushed from the teasing and compliments. She batted his hand away but didn’t let it distract her from eating a little more. She broke up some bread and dipped it into the soup before eating it.
She ate her soup quietly, enjoying the silence with Nic by her side. There was no need for conversation when in the presence of good food and good company.
Once the meal was concluded, Cassi topped up her tea before she pulled Nic into the living room. She grabbed a wool blanket and tucked it in around the pair of them before she broached the topic of conversation she had been avoiding.
She informed Nic of her need to know more about what happened when Nero killed her family. She explained what they saw and what Mundus had said. That her grandmother had made a deal. That Nero had been enslaved and was exacting the terms of that deal, and that Mundus was very aware of Cassiopeia.
”It was something your father had said that made me suspicious. My mother and grandmother were fighting before we were attacked. I think she found out and was confronting Claire. But… It was already too late. I had made my decision, and that broke the contract. I’m sorry, Nic… I don’t want to take away from what is going on with you and your dad…I just knew something wasn’t right.”
Caden chuckled. He kissed Nero’s cheek before depositing the imp back into his own chair. He left to make a couple of phone calls, one for food, and another to price out a sauna. He then spoke with the contractors on if they could assist. Once Caden’s separate tasks were complete, he came back to work on decoding the books with Kimiko and Nero.
A few hours later, after all the snacks were gone, and Caden couldn’t stop yawning, the dragon man paused. He quirked his head to the side as if he were listening to something.
”He’s awake,” he stated, looking back at Kimiko.
Avery Zain
Location: Caden&Nero’s House – Chicago, IL
Skills:
Avery was indeed awake and felt like absolute shit. His head was pounding fiercely, and his eyes couldn’t focus on anything. It felt like sandpaper every time he blinked, and his mouth felt chalky. Avery groaned and tried to sit up, but a wave of nausea and dizziness knocked him back down.
Noted. Never block a bond in anger. Avery wished for sleep to claim him again, but a powerful need had him dragging himself to the bathroom to relieve himself. He stuck his hands under the taps after washing his hands to drink some water. He lifted his head to see if he looked as bad as he felt but discovered there was no mirror where there normally was. Did he break that? Avery wouldn’t be surprised if he had.
He stumbled back to his bed, wanting to lay down, but his stomach rumbled in fierce protest. Plus, he kept searching for her. Not only was Avery looking around his room for Kimiko — knowing fully well she wouldn’t be there — but he was also looking for her in his head. He found Caden first, but then started searching for the fire of his mate.
