Antoinette thought about the power balance and where she might be more useful. She felt her powers were uniquely situated to help with either situation. Space. Antoinette had done that a couple of times.

”I'll go to New Orleans. If Mary wants or we decide, I could give her a different reality that might keep her calm. What sort of supplies other than the usual gear might we want? I can go pack for everyone,” she offered. Antoinette glanced at the open portal with New Orleans in the background. The art and music scene was incredible there… Maybe she would get a chance to take in the sites.

Nic’s attentiveness never ceased to make Cassi feel seen and loved. Her whole world seemed to pause when Nic's gaze pulled her into him. She stared back into his eyes, feeling calm but also frozen in place. She smiled when he worried about needing the black suit for tomorrow and she shook her head.

”No, you'll wear this red jacket for tomorrow. That way we'll be matching,” she said, revealing the colour of her dress to him.

She barely heard the sales associates comment on how they looked at one another. All she really understood was how this man consumed her entire being with just his presence. Cassi has been in love before, but it had never been so complete like this.

”Nic, you're staring,” she said once her cheeks started to feel warm.

Caden spotted the cats shortly after Nero did. He laughed when they raced over to them. Caden shifted Nero, setting them on the ground before he bent down to scratch and greet the cats. Caden scooped both of them up and kissed their heads as he stood.

”Alright, kätzchen, you'll have to play in the other room for a while.”

Cassiopeia left her eyes shut even after the kiss was over. Her hands held onto his jacket while she listened to Nic. She smirked, snorting slightly at the undercurrent of fear Nic’s voice had.

”They should be able to, but you might have to come in to have it sized once or twice before it is finalized.” Cassi opened her eyes and pulled back. ”Do you have a nice pair of shoes? They don’t have to be dress shoes, just something that is nice and not scuffed up.”

Caden laughed and opened their bedroom door after shifting Nero’s in his arms to do so. ”Well, how about next time we find ourselves alone outside, we see who gets cold first?” Caden shut the bedroom door behind him and scanned the room for signs of black, and white fur balls.

Cassiopeia watched Nic adjust and move around, nodding in approval. She had done a lot of suit shopping with Caden over the years and understood how a proper suit was supposed to fit. She smiled when Nic passed his approval.

”Then you get a kiss,” she said and kissed him softly, resting her hand on his cheek as she did so.

”Ah, the one about my fascination with your legs?” Caden shifted his eyes to stare at them before he looked back at Nero. ”I wondered if I should have waited or just had you outside, but, who knows how long we'll be and I didn't want you getting cold,” Caden said, meeting Nero's eyes once more.

Cassiopeia walked around Nic, unable to help her eyes roaming as she looked him over. It was hard to deny how sharp people looked in a well-tailored suit or outfit of any kind. Cassi stopped in front of Nic and looked into his eyes. She smiled softly. It wasn’t very often that she saw Nic shaken. Even some things that she revealed to him about the supernatural community didn’t rattle him, but suit buying did.

”Je pense que c'est juste la bonne quantité. Vous pouvez l'habiller de haut en bas très facilement. But how do you feel in it? If you’re uncomfortable we can look for something else,” she said seriously.

Comfort was important. Cassi knew some pushing was in order, but she didn’t want to push Nic so hard that he would never consider wearing another suit in his entire life.

I think it's just the right amount. You can dress it up and down very easily..

Caden chuckled and shifted Nero in his arms to allow him access to the door. He opened up the door and replied to Nero. ”Ich werde dich immer auffangen, mein kleiner Kobold.”

He shut the door behind him before carrying Nero up the stairs to their room. ”Do you want to check on your cats?” Caden had grown accustomed to the two cats running around their home. He had figured out their patterns easily and no longer worried if they ran underfoot. Of course, Caden was more than ready to lock the cats out of their bedroom for a few hours, but he wanted to give Nero the option.

Cassiopeia started to browse through all the different fabrics and colours while Nic was taken into the back and sized. She hummed happily to herself, only stopping when the attendant came to check in on what Nic should be dressed in. Cassi laughed lightly, realizing she had left her poor boy all defenceless.

They ran through a list of items and colours that would look good on Nic, and she told them to get him something that was red, as well as a standard black. That way, she could buy coloured ties or dress shirts that would allow Nic to match anything.

Cassi was brought to the back when they found a red sports jacket with some simple slacks and a shirt that pulled everything together. It was a simple outfit that could be easily dressed down or dressed up. Cassiopeia inspected Nic from head to toe, her heart fluttering.

”Je vais devoir revoir certains de mes sorts plus défensifs. Tu as l'air sexy, Nic,” Cassi said bluntly. Surely, she would have to beat people back from her boyfriend if he walked around in this. She could only imagine what the black suit would look like once it was tailored properly to him.

I'll have to revisit some of my more defensive spells. You look hot, Nic.

Caden took a step closer when Nero stepped to the edge of the roof. He already had a feeling Nero was going to jump, but he still didn’t quite believe it when they simply slid off the roof. Caden watched, the world seeming to slow as his focus narrowed on Nero’s falling shape. He pulled his hands out of his pockets and caught Nero effortlessly. He bent his knees, absorbing some of the shock, but Nero weighed practically nothing.

Caden looked at Nero, his eyes sparkling from the rush of the moment. He shook his head. ”And what if I hadn’t caught you?” There had been a brief moment in Nero's free fall when Caden worried something would go wrong.

It never ceased to amaze Cassi how Nic made her feel like the centre of his world when he looked at her like that. She blushed after he broke eye contact with her and walked into the store.

”Caden would have been polite, I'm not certain how Nero would have reacted though,” she said.

A sales attendant immediately came up to them and offered their help. Cassi smiled, greeting them happily before explaining a bit of what they were looking for.

Caden raced across the open yard, feeling the speed was going to be his biggest advantage — until he saw a shape on the roof that shouldn't be there. Caden skidded to a halt and cocked his head to the side. Caden barked and circled around and around before he transformed back to human.

”I suppose that means you win?” He slipped his hands into his pockets and stared up at Nero, an amused smirk on face.

There were some faces Ezekiel recognized, thanks to Nancy, and he smiled politely at them before he looked towards the tent’s entrance. Zeke sat a little straighter as Leandra was brought in, followed by Niah and Nancy. Ezekiel even recognized the cyclops that walked in. His eyes, however, remained focused on Nancy.

They hadn’t talked much, only brief conversations here and there. Zeke was mostly around to run with her, shoot with her, or spar with her — when she allowed him to. His hands twitched while he watched them walk in, anxious energy that he couldn’t dispel. Briefly, his mind wandered to Demetri. Then Alexios by default. He frowned at the middle space he stared into before reality brought him back to the present.

Cassiopeia put her bag inside, laughing at Nic’s newest nickname for her. She slipped her hand into his and led them down the street.

”You’re enjoying yourself still, right?” She looked up at him, wanting to ensure he was still okay. She understood how trying shopping could be. Often, she went home empty-handed because the items she wanted didn’t fit right or even come in her size. She didn’t understand why every store had to carry a different range of sizes.

Caden chuckled and pecked Nero’s lips before he took a step back. ”First one to the house then.” He grinned before shifting into a wolf.

Caden stood almost to Nero’s shoulder, still taller than a werewolf, signifying his alpha status because of his size. Caden bumped Nero with his head before he made a grumbling sound and faced the direction of the house. He blinked once before taking off, sprinting through the woods. Even though Caden’s coat had a red tinge to it, as soon as he was in the trees, he seemed to disappear.

He pushed himself through the trees, intent on beating Nero to the house. It was just for fun, but Caden’s competitive spirit was coming out.

Cassiopeia stretched up and kissed Nic softly. ”You're welcome.” She pulled one of his bags from the counter before walking out of the store. She glanced down the street at the store fronts while making her way back to the SUV. She spotted a couple of suit stores and smiled. She turned to face Nic.

”Ready for suit shopping next?”

Caden tightened his hold on Nero as they got closer to him. He wanted to protest Nero's words. There's nothing Caden wouldn't do to keep them safe. Of course, dying was not something Caden wanted. It would mean less time with Nero, and that defeated the entire point.

Caden squeezed the back of Nero's neck, pulling their head back to look up at him. ”Ich bin nicht so leicht zu töten,” he said, and kissed his mate deeply. Caden's hand remained on Nero's neck but his other arm dropped lower, his hand roaming their body.

Before Caden's hands wandered too much, he pulled his lips back to talk to Nero. ”Do you want to race back? I'll even let you teleport if you think it'll help you,” he teased.
