"What should we do now?" Nix asked softly. "We've got a couple days until we gotta go back…"

"Well… what would you like to do? I'm open to anything." Derlik hummed some, looking down at Nix.

Nix shrugged a bit. "We already went on an adventure and there's not a whole lot to do here."

"Yeah… Life on the surface is a lot more interesting," Derlik said with a soft laugh.

"Mhmm… it wasn't great for Cas and I, to be honest. It's only good up there if you aren't poor."

"True…" Derlik let out a breath. "But at least now you two don't have to worry about that, right?"

"Right. We don't really need money to survive down here." Nix shrugged a bit and yawned.

"Mhm… And when you do go to the surface, we can provide any you'd need." Derlik yawned in turn, chuckling some.
"Oh no, they're contagious…"

"Hmm? What's contagious?" Nix asked, obviously bewildered. "Is somebody here sick?" He looked around worriedly.

"No, no, no one is sick," Derlik promised, holding back a chuckle. "When you yawned, I yawned too, see? It was a joke, I promise."

"Ohhh…" Nix turned back to Derlik, seeming reassured. "I guess that makes sense. I'm not super familiar with phrases like that…"

"It's okay, Nix. I'll help you out whenever something is said you don't get, kay?" Derlik smiled, kissing the top of Nix's head.

"Mmkay!" Nix smiled brightly and purred, huddling closer to Derlik. "Cas never had a lot of friends to talk to, so I'm not used to that kinda thing."

"Makes sense," Derlik said. "But now he has Zach, and Ms. Serna. You do too, and me."

"Mhmm. Zachary and I don't always get along, but… you know. We gotta coexist, so…" He shrugged a bit.

"Yeah… and I know he'd help you if it really mattered." Derlik offered a gentle smile.

Nix nodded a bit. "He already kinda did… right before we left Halm's house." He sighed and toyed nervously with his hair.

"Ah…" Derlik didn't speak anymore, knowing if they continued with this subject Nix would go right back to thinking about Halm.
"Well, I'm sure Cas cares about you, too. Have you talked to him recently?"

"Well, I talked to him yesterday, I think… and obviously I yelled to tell him we were back. But we haven't really spent a ton of time together lately… I think he liked it better when I was a cat."

"Hm… well, he might be more used to you as a cat, but I doubt he cares any less now that you're human." Derlik let out a breath.

"I guess so…" Nix sighed softly. "I just can't help him the same way I used to. It would be kinda awkward now that I'm a person too."

"Hm…" Derlik thought a moment on this. "Well, you can still give him comfort, can't you? Humans do it to each other all the time."

(Horrible idea- Nix ends up turned into a cat again for a bit)

(Oop-)
"I guess so, but he's kinda got Zachary for that now… he's been able to replace me pretty easily."

"Well… you do have your own life, Nix. From what I've seen, Cas needs someone to be there for him twenty-four seven. That doesn't mean he doesn't care about you, though. It just means he cares about you differently than he does Zach."

Nix looked away and turned his ears back, quivering a bit. "I just… I-I feel like he doesn't need me anymore…"

"He does, Nix," Derlik said softly. "He just needs Zach too. It's okay to have to share him, but he really does need you."

"I dunno… like I said, I can't really help him the way I used to. I don't know how to help him anymore."

"Well, then, I'll help you figure out how to help him, then," Derlik said.

"Okay…" Nix toyed with his hair a bit more, seeming nervous and uncomfortable. "I-I don't want him to forget about me…"

"He could never," Derlik promised. He leaned forward some, kissing Nix's head lightly.
