Cassiopeia concentrated on her meal as well, grateful when Ren helped the conversation switch. ”Oh, we need clothes for Nic. Our friends Caden and Nero are going through what we call a binding ceremony. It's kind of like a wedding but more intense. It's only an intimate gathering but Caden is known for going over the top, so we have to dress for the occasion.” Cassiopeia split the rest of the bruschetta and gave Ren an extra piece before she gave Nic some and then herself.
”I'll make sure we get pictures so you can see Nic all dressed up,” she told Ren.
Caden felt his cheeks grow warm and he quickly turned his head away. He understood the conversation was all in jest, but Nero's teasing and laughter left him feeling slightly embarrassed.
