Nik nodded sharply. "And if my kitten dies because I'm not home to take care of him, I'm going to kill you, king or not." He said firmly, glaring at Cas with his strange, mismatched eyes.

"I'm sure the cat will be fine, they're smart creatures, even the children," Cas was unfazed by the glaring all to used to it, "Well, suppose I should show you around so you don't get lost."

Nik stood. "Fine." He agreed, arms still crossed. He wasn't going to relax until he was alone, and even then…he didn't trust Cas. Not at all.

Cas stood not long after, quickly placing some papers in a pile before walking round the desk and for the door. He opened it up, holding it open for Nik.

(hey, I'm not going to be super active tonight, sorry)

Nik headed through the door, keeping a wary eye on Cas, arms still crossed. He didn't say a word, eyes flicking around the hallway, then back to Cas.

(All good, I was busy today anyway)

"Stay close, don't wander off." Cas said, shutting the door to the room before he headed off down the hall.

Nik nodded. "Okay." he replied softly. He walked with Cas, looking around the castle, but still keeping a wary eye on Cas as they walked.

The castle was large, so Cas wasn't going to show Nik everything, just he important parts. Obviously he'd already seen the throne room, so he took Nik to the library first. it was large, and elegant and even though big, somewhat comforting.

Nik was silent as he followed Cas, looking around and taking note of everything. He saw various servants and guards that they walked past, and he sighed.

He took Nik to the kitchens and the servant quarters after the library. He didn't bother with the west side of the castle since it was just extra rooms for guests. He then went to the meeting room and all the other business parts of the castle.

Nik paid attention to everything, eyes flashing around, the strange mismatched colors flashing in the light. He shivered a little bit, cold, and burrowed into the loose, too-big clothing.

He would have taken Nik out to the gardens yet it had started to snow and he didn't want to freeze the guy to death. He took Nik back to the library, one of the warmest parts of the castle.

Nik stayed snuggled into the clothing, still cold. He had been taken from summer to winter, and goddamnit he didn't like it. He didn't like any of this, really.

He headed over to one of the large fireplaces, offering Nik a seat close to the flames to warm him up. They'd have to go out soon, though wanted to make sure Nik was… well, kind of okay, first.

Nik sat down in the seat, snuggling into it and wrapping his arms around himself, silent. He was still trying to come to terms with…this. With being…here. Not on Earth.

Cas sighed, sitting across from Nik, "I get it's a lot to take in, and you can have as much time as you want to process everything." He was trying to be patient, something he wasn't the best at.

Nik gave a sharp nod. "Yeah. It's a fucking lot to take in." He replied, gazing at the fire. The light reflected off of his strange, mismatched eyes. He sighed softly.

"Like I said, if you still hate it after a week I'll take you home, I'm a man of my word." Cas watched him. He knew the chances of hims staying were low, it was worth a shot.

Nik nodded again, still looking at the fire, frowning a little bit. "Alright." he almost said thank you, then bit back the words. Why should he fucking thank his kidnapper?

Cas nodded a little himself, sighing and looking down towards the ground, "Do you want anything to eat, or drink or..?"

Nik shook his head a little bit. "I'm uhm…not that hungry." he replied, still looking at the fire. The shock of it all was still slowly sinking in.

“Right well, can I get you anything? Anything to make you feel slightly kore comfortable?” Maybe he wanted a friend or a book or… Cas didn’t really know.

Nik shrugged again, running a hand through his curly hair. "I-I…I don't know." He whispered, shaking his head a little bit and trying to process this. Don't cry don't cry don't cry.

Cas bit his lip, looking to the fire, “May I… sit next to you?” He asked, trying to be as gentle as possible.

Nik glanced at him for a moment. He shrugged. "I guess." His voice was faint, soft, though still a little unfriendly and very much defensive.
