"Sure. Sounds good to me." Nix reached up to open the microwave and stuck the pizza inside.
"Sure. Sounds good to me." Nix reached up to open the microwave and stuck the pizza inside.
Derlik hummed, setting the microwave and stepping back as the pizza was warmed up.
"We're hopeless, aren't we," he said, chuckling some.
"Yeah. But I've got an excuse, at least." Nix stuck his tongue out playfully.
Derlik laughed some, hugging Nix and kissing his head.
"Yeah, you sure do."
Nix purred softly and returned the hug. "Mhmm! I'm a cat and I'm not that old, so I don't know how to cook."
"Well, not you're human, and you have plenty of opportunities to learn now." Derlik hummed as the microwave stopped, pulling the plate out.
(For some reason it didn't give me a notification for this adgjkk)
"Mhmm!" Nix looked at the plate curiously when Derlik pulled it out of the microwave.
(Oof)
Derlik hummed, stepping out of the kitchen with the pizza to bring it to Cas and Zachary.
"Enjoy~!" He said, chuckling some.
"Thanks, Derlik…" Cas murmured, still a bit put off by Serna not having shown up. He helped Zachary to eat first.
Zachary hummed some as he ate, turning to Cas.
"Thank you, dear," he said softly when his mouth was full. He really did appreciate the help.
"Mhmm. No problem, love." Cas started eating his own pizza with a soft hum.
Zachary relaxed some, glancing in the direction of the lab. Derlik had carried Nix back to the living room, sitting down with him.
Cas kept eating quietly, helping Zachary whenever he got an opportunity. Nix huddled closer to Derlik, purring happily.
With Nix out of the room, and more importantly out of earshot, Zachary turned to Cas.
"Hey, about Serna…" Zachary hesitated.
Cas looked up at Zachary curiously. "Hmm? What about her?" He asked softly.
"Something… happened." Zachary glanced up to make sure Nix hadn't heard, then continued.
"Mother… Serna's in the lab. It's… it's not good, according to Derlik. We can't- can't help."
"Huh?" Cas paled a bit, obviously confused. "What's going on? What happened?" He asked softly. "What do you mean?"
"Mother decided she was going to hurt Serna," Zachary explained. "Derlik didn't say what happened, but… it's bad. We're not to go in the lab, okay? And whatever we do, don't tell Nix."
Cas nodded, still seeming very nervous. "O-Okay, I won't… will Serna be okay, though?"
"Eventually…" Zachary moved to hug Cas, keeping him close. "Once we leave, I think."
Cas nodded nervously. "Alright… I guess we'll have to come up with some excuse for her being gone, then."
"Mm… yeah, we'll figure something out. How will Nix feel when he finds out Serna won't be here to say goodbye like she promised..?" Zachary sighed, holding Cas to his chest.
"I don't know… I don't think he'll be happy, though." Cas sighed softly. "Not angry, probably, but just… upset."
"Right…" Zachary let out a soft breath. "I just hope he doesn't blame Serna for it…"
"Hopefully not… it's hard to say, though. He's going to be upset enough that he has to leave in the first place."
