[color=FFF79A]“Am I also braver than I believe and smarter than I think?”[/color] Kiki asks with a wry smile, what Avery’s said made her think of the Christopher Robin quote. With a drawn out sigh, she sets her now empty dish back on the table and grabs the last of her waffle to munch on. [color=FFF79A]“If only my subconscious was aware of that, though.”[/color] She says as she takes a generous bite of the waffle.

Nic can see his own reflection in nearly any surface in the kitchen by the time he’s done cleaning. Knowing that he can’t do anything else, he makes his way upstairs to Cass’ door and slides down to the ground to sit against it. [color=F7941D]“Is your finger okay?”[/color] He asks through the door.

Cass’ comments about his family still linger in Nic’s mind, especially with how his father had acted the day before. He can’t shake the feeling that whatever the older Wu man is hiding has something to do with the death of his mother. He feels shut down and exhausted at this point - unable to help between all the problems that just keep sprouting up. 

Bowing his head, Nic takes deep breaths in and out, wanting nothing more than to hold Cass close despite everything. All he had wanted to show her is that she needs Caden - Nic won’t be around for her forever.

Nero tilts their head as Caden leads them back to the other side of the house, watching Caden curiously. The robe is quite comfy though, so they have no complaint there. When at last they stand in Caden’s study, Nero peers closely at the glass case at the swords. There, the earliest sword in the series, is a short bronze sword. Though clearly weathered, they can see a pronounced ‘A. W.’ engraved neatly into the hilt, but underneath that is a smaller, scribbled set of initials. ‘L.W.’

[color=#9B111E]“W-wait…”[/color] Nero can feel the familiar tug they have gotten so used to in the last few weeks and tightly clutch Caden’s hand in both of theirs as they start to tremble. [color=#9B111E]“Th-that’s too big of… coincidence, r-right?”[/color]
