”Strange message? What strange message?” They were both being oddly cryptic. Antoinette didn’t think they needed to be since Annie and her team were the current X-Men, and had done fairly well with everything thrown at them. All things considered.

”Should we get everyone gathered and you can tell us what the message is?” Antoinette pressed. She wasn’t sure what the others were up to, but they were never too hard to find.

Cassiopeia smiled, watching Nic walk away for the second time. She was more than happy with the second kiss, and waited for Nic to start ordering before she looked up and down the street.

She tried to be more concerned about the problem Nic was having with disappearing patients, but it was hard to be when she was just happy to be in Nic's presence again.

Still daydreaming, Cassi startled slightly when she heard the door open so quickly. She glanced at Nic's empty hands and realized he was waiting with her while the food was prepared. Cassi smiled and leaned into Nic.

She laughed nervously when he asked if she would have been okay without Caden. Cassi fiddler with her hair.

”Well, I mean… I would have figured it out but, um… it was probably a good thing Caden was there. I spent the entire fight upside down,” she said and revealed the ankle that had rope burn to him.

It had already faded some, but it was taking a lot longer than it should. Cassi had already determined the thing had been magiked. She had taken the rope and it was stuffed in her backpack so she could study it later and figure out why she couldn't break it.

”But I did kill seven out of nine Redcaps! So, I think that warrants me some leniency,” she said definately.

”Mmm, see if they have any gyoza, and shrimp, and tempura…And double of whatever rolls you want,” Cassi decided, suddenly feeling rather hungry.

She wheeled the bike over beside the front door, next to the window so she could see Nic when he was inside and he would be able to see her. She knew he was likely worried about leaving her outside with a bike and all these shopping bags, but Cassi still had her knives from the hunt earlier. She was more than prepared to fend off assailants of any species.

”Well, he brought whiskey and presents. Who was I to turn him away?”

She stopped outside the shop with Nic and took over holding the bike. ”I'll wait here with the bags and bike, you go get us something delicious. Lots of it,” Cassi said with a warm smile.

”To go I think. That way we can have more time to comb through the video you have,” she decided.

Cassiopeia slipped her hand into Nic's while they walked, mulling over his words.

”I wouldn't mind seeing you punch Caden in the face… but no, you don't need to do that. I feel… off. I don't know how I feel. We had lunch after we killed the Redcaps and it was good, better than when he initially came over, but I'm not really sure yet.”

”Yes please! We might be able to figure it out between the two of us. Caden owns a security company, as well. If we can't see what's going on they may be able to enhance the footage,” Cassi said.

She fiddled with the bracelet on her wrist while she spoke about Caden. She was glad they talked and hunted together, but things still seemed off for her.

She looked up and spotted a sushi place.

”Ooo, can we do sushi?” Cassi asked, pointing the restaurant out.

Cassi’s interest peaked when Nic mentioned disappearing patients. She looked up at him while they walked, trusting him to guide her away from anything that she might trip over or run into.

”Disappearing? Like poof?” Cassi asked with the hand gestures. ”Huh, that is interesting.”

Cassi tucked her hair behind her ear while Nic took her bags and unlocked his bike. She shrugged, glancing away from him to stare at the ground.

”You like learning, so I thought it would be nice. Something we could talk about. I also got one about China and one about Japan,” Cassi informed him.

She walked along beside him, tucking her phone away to focus on him. ”Was it a difficult day?” she asked gently.

Cassi laughed and held her bags in one hand while she looked for some food places that were open on her phone.

”Why? Because I bought you a book?”

Cassi smiled and waved goodbye to Ron before looking back at Nic. ”You used to kick his butt, hmm? Doesn’t seem very nice,” Cassi joked. She kissed his cheek before she went and retrieved her bags.

”I got you something, by the way,” she said and handed Nic the book of Scottish folklore. ”There may or may not be a section talking about witches and Sorcerers as well as Redcaps and other fun things.”
