Antoinette didn't have to explain much past her initial comment about Mary. Jean and Scott filled everyone in nicely, plus it did seem Klara understood what Annie was talking about as she had tracked Mary to New Orleans. With a proper direction, Antoinette was ready to go back to her room and grab her go bag. She'd probably leave Arnold behind this time for one of the other students to look after. Going to space had been a bit much for them both. However, Max reacted far more quickly than any of them. He opened up a portal, and quickly jumped through, calling for people.

Antoinette took a few steps forward, wiggling her nose as she peered through the portal. She could see a lovely home, plus some concerned people staring at the portal. She opened her mouth to say something, but then several people on the other side of the portal started talking.

”Uh, Max, we should grab some supplies before we rush in,” she said.

Cassi laughed and scrunched up Nic's t-shirt in her hand. ”I thought I already got that. Girlfriend privileges and all,” she said. Cassi hooked her ankle around the back of Nic's leg after his hand came to rest on her hip. While she pulled him in closer, Cassi wondered if they could hide in his room under the pretence of working on the garden boxes, so she could finally thank him for spending the night at her place a few nights ago.

”I would be honoured to take you. The culture is wonderful as well. I think you'll find you enjoy more than just the food.” Morocco was a vibrant place with an equally vibrant culture from the food to the music and the stories. Plus, they would be treated well and looked after.

Avery's hand paused on Kimiko's leg when he felt her twitch from his touch. She was so ticklish. Avery smirked and continued to brush his thumb along her thigh. He noticed that the pressure of his massage had lightened as well. Avery didn't mind. She had worked hard on his upper back, and he could admit he was thinking about other things she could be doing with her hands.

”Your stretches? And what is it that you do that could help me?” Avery asked. He rolled his body slightly so he could see Kimiko without throwing her off him. Because of the motion, he was now able to run his full hand down her upper leg rather than just his thumb.

A pleasant shiver slid down Cassiopeia's spine when Nic towered over her. She looked up at him through her lashes and shrugged. She dropped her eyes back to where she had her finger hooked in his jacket.

”I guess I could. Although, how will you thank me for protecting you? My rate is rather expensive,” she said.

As she spoke, Cassi pulled down the zipper of Nic's jacket. She slid her hand up his chest, looking up at Nic when she finished speaking.

Caden started in on his meal first before he helped Nero pick and choose what to start with and what to eat after. The wine Caden had chosen paired well with the meal and created an overall enjoyable dining experience. A sense of pride and joy filled Caden from being able to share such an experience with Nero.

Once they were finished and their plates were taken, Caden ordered desserts for the pair of them and a coffee for himself. He settled back in his seat, draping his arm back over Nero's chair, and a hand on their leg.

”Mmm and you have amazing hands for someone who isn't a professional massage therapist,” Avery said, halfway between a mumble and a groan. He shifted his head the other direction when she started to work more diligently on his hips.

”Yes. I need to stretch more and do those hip openers. Probably should see a professional massage therapist as well, but this is much more enjoyable.” Avery shifted his arm back, and found Kimiko's leg to rest his hand on. He rubbed his thumb along her skin subconsciously while she worked.

A noise of surprise escaped from Cassi when Nic's hand connected with her ass. It was a light hit but she hadn't been expecting it.

Once she stepped in the elevator, she leaned against the wall, but Nic was distracted on his phone. Cassi transferred the bag of food to one hand and hooked her finger in his jacket before tugging Nic forward.

”Then it's a good thing you're training to be a part of this world, aren't you?”

”Then that you shall have.” Caden kissed Nero softly, amused by their excitement and antics. He pulled back before the server arrived and set down their main dishes.

The spices on these plates were even stronger than the first, and it filled the space around them. That was the only downside to food like this, the spice was so powerful that it often obscured Caden's sense of smell, but he still had his eyes and ears should he detect a problem.

Even before Kiki started actually massaging him, the act of just rubbing the oil into his back at Avery sighing deeply. It was the simple motions and touch of her hand that he wanted. She started to dig around, and Avery guided her a bit until she reached some of his usual spots that tension and stress were held in. There was oddly more tension around his rib cage and down into his hips. Clearly he was locked in place, unable to shift or turn. His tell in fighting was a weight transfer that stemmed from his hips.

Avery groaned as muscles released and let go under Kimiko's persistent work.

Cassiopeia released Nic to walk inside his building. She walked ahead of him to the elevator, making her walk more sultry as she went.

”I'm not sure how badly it'll affect him to touch you, but silver is harmful to wolves, but if he touches a little, it'll be an irritant more than anything. Silver is mainly used to weaken the werewolf before killing them.” She spoke softly to prevent her voice from carrying far. It was an informative lesson Nic should hear, but she didn't need to freak out the other people in Nic's apartment building.

Caden watched his mate return to their food eagerly after they relinquished the decision to him to pick their outfit. Caden loved how they trusted him, and allowed him to dress them. Caden looked down at the hand that found its way back to Nero's leg. He brushed his hand along Nero's leg, watching the glide as it moved up. He danced his fingers up the inside, while his thumb moved up and down like a massage technique. Caden loved how Nero continued to wear clothes that showed off their legs. He thought of some clothes he would have to get Nero during the colder months so the shape of their legs was still shown off.

”Mmm, there is Chebakia, a honeyed pastry. They also have orange cake, donuts and a few others.”

Avery watched Kimiko turn away from him. He stepped forward to grab her, but stopped when she started walking away. His eyes dropped to take in the show and he chuckled.

”Yes, my little fox,” he said, obediently following after her. Kimiko's words had served to relax his body and calm his mind. Once again, Avery had been caught overthinking.

He moved the plate of strawberries before he looked at Kimiko, he smirked at her, shaking his head from embarrassment on his behalf as well as disbelief from how he managed to win her over.

Avery stretched out on the bed, pulling a pillow away from the headboard and laid his head on it. He turned his head to the side and shut his eyes.

”I know you were expecting something else to happen first, but I am looking forward to this.” Avery stretched out, the sound of bones popping mingled with his deep sigh. He settled back down, feeling more relaxed just from that simple action.

Nic's idea made Cassi laugh. She squeezed her hand on his arm, pleased he was taking all of this in stride, and not letting it ruin their day.

”That would be a fun experiment,” Cassi mused. ”We could try it with Avery. That would be the safest option.”

Kimiko's movement drew Avery's attention back to her. He tried to keep looking away, but it was hard when he could see her little dress — and when she called him an idiot.

Avery's eyes wandered up Kimiko's body again, resting on various body parts he enjoyed. ”I didn't want to assume,” he said. His eyes shifted from watching her pulse jump along her neck before they looked at her face finally. ”I do rather like you throwing yourself at me in this way. I thought I would have to wait to see your lingerie until I won our little competition.”

He handed Kimiko the bottle of oil, unsure if she really even wanted to massage him now.

Cassiopeia mused over Nic's suggestions on how to use silver in the ER. ”Either of those would be a good idea. As long as it doesn't throw off your medical results. I used to use silver in my tattoo ink but it changed the consistency of the ink. Besides, I found the runes to be more effective.”

Caden beamed, glad Nero could taste the flavours of the food and seemed to enjoy it. He understood there was no need for Nero to eat, that they just did it because of him or to appear human, but he appreciated the effort Nero made.

”I'm glad. I'll make sure we have more of the spices on hand should you develop a craving for it,” Caden said.

He focused on his food, quickly devouring his plate before taking a second helping of the dishes.

”Ah, I nearly forgot to tell you. The clothes that we had ordered when we were in New York are set to be delivered tomorrow.”

Of course Avery's eyes land on Kimiko's lips while they surround a strawberry. She looked at him, curiosity in her eyes. He fought to keep his eyes from wandering down her body again, and instead looked at the floor. He held a bottle of oil up.

”Where do you want me?” he asked shyly.

Cassiopeia laughed and looked up at Nic, noting how tall he was. She always forgot that, mainly because it didn't bother her. His height did suit him though, and his strength.

"I'll let him know that. He usually doesn't use a friend or family member's form without permission, though," she assured him. "And don't let them touch you at all. It doesn't have to be skin-to-skin. They are vulnerable to silver, so that would be a good way to tell what you are dealing with, but a lot of supernatural creatures are harmed by silver. In cameras though, their eyes will flare like they are reflecting the light."

Cassiopeia glanced behind them while they walked. She didn't believe they were being followed, but she wanted to make sure. She had done a lot of protection work on Nic's home to ensure the safety of him and Ren. She had even gone into the basement and made the building unplottable. If someone tried to do a location spell, they wouldn't be able to locate the building. In addition, Cassi had changed Nic's door handle to that of pure silver. It wasn't easy to get, but she wanted to ensure her new family was as safe as she could make them.

Caden practically purred when Nero leaned against him. The easement he felt whenever Nero was near was always immediate. They calmed his mind and his soul in a way no other ever could. He chuckled when Nero draped their legs over his. Caden's hand automatically came to rest on their leg, and he brushed his thumb along their exposed skin.

Their appetizers arrived, bringing with them the pleasant scent of spices. Caden's mouth started to water, but he made sure he wasn't drooling to avoid any further teasing from Nero.

"One track minded as we both seem to be for the other, I am looking forward to this meal," Caden said. He leaned forward and dished out some of each appetizer onto the serving plates. He slid one closer to Nero before pulling one towards himself.

Avery found himself going still while Kimiko's eyes roamed. He enjoyed the way she looked him over, admiring what was hers. The hum of approval brought a smile to Avery's lips that remained even when she looked into his eyes again. He took another step closer, his legs hitting the edge of the mattress. He lifted his hand to hold her in place, but she already started to move on him.

"No," he said and reached out to stop her. He grabbed what he could reach first which happened to be the tie holding Kimiko's robe in place. He pulled on it to reveal what Kimiko wore underneath. He stared, feeling breathless.

"I'll um... I'll grab them." He took a reluctant step back, his eyes still on her body. Avery paused for a moment longer, torn between giving Kimiko space, and wanting to pin her to the bed. He felt his need for her grow and took another step back, shifting to block himself from her before he hurried into her bathroom.

Avery shut the door behind him and heaved a great sigh. "You are so fucked, Zain," he whispered to himself. Avery took several deep breaths to steady his pounding heart. Once he felt calm, he walked over to Kimiko's sink and splashed cold water on his face.

Due to recent events, Avery hadn't been intimate with Kimiko since that first time. It was understandable, and Avery had just been grateful that Kimiko allowed him back into her bedroom at night. He held her all night, and of course they kissed, but nothing beyond that had occured. It hadn't been that long since their first time, but that clearly didn't matter to Avery based on the way his body was reacting to her. Gods he wanted her.

Avery looked through Kimiko's oils and lotions, knowing where she kept everything and selected something that should have enough glide. He took another minute in the bathroom, reminding himself not to push Kimiko before walking back into the bedroom.

Meeting Thanatos tonight? Well, that was something at least. Zeke forced himself to eat the rest of his food, even though it tasted like ash to him. He finished his juice and wiped his mouth.

"The doors still won't appear until tomorrow or whatever, at least that's what we learned in Vegas, but if we can walk in more prepared after tonight, that should help our chances with getting Mads and Leda back," Zeke said in agreement with Kiera.

He overly didn't like the comment Alexios made about wanting a kiss and a hug from Zeke's boyfriend, but Zeke wasn't going to let the god get under his skin. Demi and Zeke had a good thing going and Zeke wasn't about to ruin that by punching the god in his face. Again. Or making Demetri mad because Zeke couldn't get along with the prick.

"I'm gonna go check in with Nanc. I'll let her know about meeting Thanatos. If you change your mind about sitting in on the trial, I'll be at the preator tent." Zeke spoke to Demi while a hand rested on his leg. He leaned in after he was done and kissed Demi's cheek.

"When I see you later, I'll make sure to help you forget about the party god," Zeke whispered into Demetri's ear before Zeke stood and left the pavillion.

Zeke walked through camp with a bit of a smug smile on his face. Deep down he knew he could lose Demetri, but Zeke was trying to live in the moment and be happy with being happy. Zeke greeted campers and waved as he walked through camp to where the Roman kids were set up. Once he was there, he looked around for Nancy or Niah while he made his way to the trial location.

Cassiopeia pouted when Nic took the to-go containers from her. She watched him place them in the bag and walked out of the restaurant. She continued to eye the bag even after he had taken her hand.

"Mmm, technically you are a nurse for humans and not supernatural creatures," Cassi agreed. She reached around Nic and stole the bag of food from him. "But you are a good person, and I don't think you would let anyone who came into your ED suffer. At least not much."

She smiled up at him and released Nic's hand to wrap her arm around his. Her hand rested along his bicep while she walked, and matched his pace to keep from being jostled around.

"Shapeshifters learn to take different forms by touching their prey. So, if he had touched you even just once, he would be able to shift into you. On top of that, a shapeshifter can see your memories and know what you are thinking after they take your form and will be able to continue to do so as long as you live. Shifters are also inhumanely strong, fast, and agile," Cassi explained, giving Nic an impromptu lessons on the creatures. "But, Caden is different. He can't read your mind or anything like that if he decides to shift into you."

Caden grinned, his eyes watching Nero as they pulled themselves closer. Caden readjusted their seats to allow them to nearly be side by side. He rested his hand on the back of Nero's chair and topped off their wine.

"It isn't the only thing on my mine, but it is always there," he confessed.

Avery didn't miss any of Kimiko's movements. He watched everything with rapt attention, from her finishing the strawberry and licking her lips to cleaning the chocolate off her hands, with her eyes on him. Avery felt his control waver and knew his eyes shifted from brown to gold.

He had been watching her hand and her mouth, stuck on thoughts that were better off left unspoken, when she finished. He looked up from her hand, meeting Kimiko's eyes. Avery pulled his muscle shirt off and dropped it on the floor.

"Do you have any massage oil?" His voice wavered as Avery fought to remain in control. He walked forward, closing the distance to Kimiko's bed. His eyes shifting to remain on hers while he moved closer.
