Cassiopeia settled into her seat while Nic drove them back to her place. She pulled out her phone and called the people responsible for supernatural clean-ups and had them charge Caden for the clean-up. It was the usual procedure, but it felt good to make sure the payment came from Caden’s account. After that, Cassi texted Kimiko.
We are headed back to my place after cleaning up Caden’s mess. Going to shower and change before we go to the station to get him. Don’t tell Nero about the mess… Are you finished rearranging his office?
Cassi slipped her phone away to stare out the window. She sighed while the world went by. The silence was fine by Cassi. She didn’t feel very conversational after what the two of them just had to do. Cassi knew Nic wanted to help and support her, but she still hated that he had to be there for that.
Once Nic parked outside of Cassi’s house, she barely waited for the engine to shut off before she was out of the SUV and running up the steps to her front door. Cassi managed to open the door before she dumped her stuff in the front entrance. Maximilian was sitting there, staring at Cassiopeia like he knew. He meowed, and Cassi instantly scooped her familiar up. She buried her head in his fur and inhaled the comforting scent of her cat.
”Caden’s an idiot,” she informed Max. Calypso came out from around the corner and wound her way around Cassi’s legs before meowing loudly. She continued to meow as she led Cassi to their empty food dishes.
”Yes, yes, of course. Nic…” Cassi turned around to look for Nic, just remembering his existence again. ”Do you want to shower, too?”
Avery Zain
Location: Caden&Nero's House - Chicago, IL
Skills:
A few staff members still lingered in the kitchens, waiting to clean up the remaining meal. Avery smiled and greeted them all happily. Every one of Caden’s staff either knew who he was or knew what he worked in. Most didn’t believe in the supernatural before starting, but they had all been vetted beforehand for their ability to stay calm and keep secrets. That being said, Avery kept the conversation short when they asked where Caden was.
”He was called away to work on something time-sensitive for Costa. It’s rather hush-hush. We’re hoping he’ll be back by the morning. That being said, the ceremony got cut short. Nero’s rather upset by it, understandably. The rest of us are just trying to make it work. You could leave the sweets out for them, but you could pack up the rest of the food. I’m just going to make some kettle corn for us and grab Kiki’s strawberries.”
He spoke with the staff a little while longer while he prepared the ingredients to make the kettle corn and retrieved a tray of chocolate-covered strawberries for Kiki. There was one premade tray left, which Avery noted so that he would make time to make more for her.
Eventually, Avery was left alone in the kitchen while the kitchen staff went up to clean up the remaining food. He waited downstairs until there was a sufficient amount of popcorn for a werewolf, kitsune, and demon to eat before he went back upstairs with the goodies. Avery set the bowls of popcorn and the tray of strawberries down on the table before he sat next to Kimiko.
”What movie did you two pick?”
