Kat hadn't heard most about Sybil, honestly she had never heard the name before, just that the South Council not being allowed to deal with Starforge. Still when Cassandra asked her favor Kat blinked a little before slowly nodding her head. The lady didn't sound like the type she would want to be around anyway. After it started getting late and she said she was tired. Cassandra left, Kat kissing both of her cheeks back. Once she had left, Mitch walking her back to the castle. She asked Atty about if he had traveled. Kat listened to him as he answered. She can't even begin to imagine what it would be like to forget your life. Every time Atty said something about it, she wanted to help him even more.
Still she told the short version of how she got to the coven and smiled brightly when he said he would tell her about what he could remember. However, she was exhausted and she gave his cheek a kiss before going to bed. She didn't even bother shutting her door tonight, after all the guys were going to be there today. She knew for a fact she would safe. Normally she would need to wear herself out before bed. Listening to music and dancing around her room, the type of dancing that would make you thankful that no one would ever see it. However, tonight she simply flopped down on her bed in the clothes that Lia gave her, and passed out.
She was in the middle of a rather pleasant dream when the scream across the hall startled her awake. Followed by the sound of her door opening and Mitchell talking. Cold and groggy Kathleen grabbed one of her robes wrapping it around herself before checking to see if Lia was okay.
Mitch said that Lia was okay, but she couldn't help but hesitate for a moment, seeing Lia gripping her knees. Still after a look from Mitch she nodded and closed the door. She didn't want to though, she wanted to hug Lia and tell her that everything was going to be okay. He had told her to go back to bed, but after that wake up she knew she needed to calm down a bit. Plus the thunder outside was extremely loud at the moment. She was trying sneak down the stairs encase Atty had fell back asleep. Only to catch a glimpse of him heading into the kitchen.
Kat walked slowly into the kitchen still rubbing her eyes. Soon there was a mug of cocoa in her hands and she gave a half asleep smile. “Thank you.” She sat at the table and when Atty asked if she was alright, she gave a sigh but nodded. “Yeah, just worried about Lia is all.” She answered with a soft yawn. “I was dreaming that I had a bunch of puppies running around but they had your face.” She said after a moment of silence before giggling into her cup and taking a drink of her cocoa. Kat put her chin in her hand before looking at Atty, another half asleep smile spreading on her lips at his question. “Oh. Yes please.”

It was always nice when Cassandra came to visit. Even if it hadn't been very long of a visit, and surely he wasn't going to make her walk back to the castle by herself in the pouring rain. “You're welcome.” He said with a slight shrug, a slight smile at her comment about being a gentleman. “Well I would hate you getting stuck in the storm by yourself.” Not to mention the fact that after the day he had, a little bit of time in the storm would help.
Mitch gave a nod when Cassandra said that she had been just too busy with witches and wolves. “Well, I hope that things get better, so you can visit more.” He said before his voice lowered a bit. “Checkov is always in better moods around you.”
Though yes, he knew that Cassandra wouldn't tell anyone. He still felt the need to ask. The answer to his question made him blink a bit. He had actually asked on her birthday the first time. He grinned at her when she said that she didn't tell him. “Of course. My lips are sealed.” He said with a laugh. Soon Cassandra kissed both of his cheeks, Mitchell returning the kisses. He had turned, when her voice caused him to look back. He gave a confused face at first but smiled and nodded. “Alright, I’ll be sure to let you know.” Why would it mean more coming from him than anyone else?
He took the walk back to the cottage a bit more slowly than to the castle. Enjoying the rainy weather. He looked at Atty as he walked into the house, before giving a small smile. “Honestly, if it wasn't so late and we weren't staying here. I would have went for a run in it.” Soon they were making small talk and asleep. At least until Lia screamed.
He was relieved that Lia had at least looked to him once he told her it was alright. Even though she had tensed up when Kat spoke, he at least knew she was aware of her surroundings. Once Kat left, he put his hand on her back. Feeling her tense, but still rubbing it to calm her. He was quite happy with how well it worked, but the last thing he expected when she looked at him, was her asking him to stay. The look of surprise probably showed on his face. Yet it was quickly replaced with a soft look when she said she didn't want to be alone, his voice softer in return.
“Sure Lia, whatever you need.” He answered, his eyes going to the chair before feeling her move on the bed. Giving another soft yet knowing grin, he scooted closer to the head board moving a pillow behind his back and gesturing for her to cuddle up to him like she did when she was sick. Once she was asleep he would move to the chair. He let a sigh out once she had cuddled to him, relaxing once more himself, before the quietness got to him. Once again he said the same thing he told Lia, but this time it was low and more to himself.
“You know, I was thinking about it.” He said quietly to Lia. “I think Kat’s dresses would be too short on At. He might need one of your dresses.” He said before chuckling. “Or Cass’s, though I’m not sure she would come back if we asked.” He continued to quietly ramble on for a few more moments rather Lia was awake or not. Before slowly falling asleep, his head back against the wall.
