"Yeah… whenever Nix wants to do something that's obviously just meant to be a distraction for himself, Derlik allows it. It's not going to end well."

"No, it isn't. Still, I don't know what we can do to stop him from enabling Nix…" Zachary held Cas a bit closer, resting his cheek on Cas's head.
"Right, yeah… I'm not sure. He probably wouldn't listen to us, and Nix doesn't want to face the issue."
"And I know if I was the one to try to tell him, I'd probably end up getting hit or something…" Zachary bit his lip.
"Yeah… I wish Serna could talk to him for us." Cas sighed softly. "He might listen to her."
"I wish she could too…" Zachary closed his eyes. "But we can't go see her."
"Yeah…" Cas buried his face in Zachary's shoulder. "We'll just have to wait it out, I guess… just be prepared for things to go to shit as soon as we show up at Halm's."
"Yeah…" Zachary leaned back on the bed, arms around Cas's waist.
"Mm…" Cas relaxed a bit in Zachary's arms.
Nix nuzzled against Derlik affectionately, trying to keep himself focused on him.
Derlik held Nix close, kissing his head.
"I've got you…" He was doing everything he could to help Nix stay focused on him, knowing it kept him calm.
"Mmm… when do we have to go?" Nix asked softly, sounding very nervous.
"Tomorrow morning," Derlik said softly. He held Nix closer, kissing his head.
Nix turned his ears back a bit and buried his face in Derlik's chest. "I don't wanna go…"
"I know, sweetie," Derlik said softly, running his hand over Nix's head. "I know…"
"But there's no way out of it, is there?" He asked softly, trembling with nerves.
"No…" Derlik pulled Nix close, wrapping his arms tight around him. "Let's not think about it, sweetie."
"Okay…" Nix shut himself up, not wanting to bother Derlik with his whining. "What should we do, then?"
"How about a walk in the garden?" Derlik suggested. He hugged Nix to himself, gently running his fingers through the cat's hair.
"Mmkay. Sounds good to me." Nix yawned a bit and rested his head on Derlik's shoulder.
Derlik stood to head out, smiling softly.
"I've got you…"
Nix nodded a bit and hummed softly, curling his tail around Derlik's arm.
Derlik carried Nix out, patting his back lightly. He kept his arms around Nix to keep him warm, humming softly.
Nix looked around curiously once they were outside, his ears twitching from the cold. "Mm… pretty…"
"It is," Derlik agreed, smiling some. He continued to walk, humming faintly.
Nix closed his eyes and sighed, trying to just clear his mind so he could relax. "Kinda chilly…"
