Wren had come back downstairs, bundled in a coat with her hair no longer disheveled. "Be back whenever," she said as she walked past the kitchen toward a sigil. Not a second later, she warped from the house.

-----

The location of her warp was a dark room. Shelves were stocked to the brim with items that ranged from mildly conspicuous to downright otherworldly. The Celestial let out a small breath as she materialized inside, not even looking around at the products as she started to walk forward. She knew what she was there for.

"Well, hello there, Sunshine," said the male standing at the register. "Came back to take up my offer?"

Wren crossed her arms. "Which deal?"

"Both. The sale and the coffee date," he leaned on the counter a bit. "Whaddya say?"

"Pass on both," was the answer. It seemed to make him flinch in - mock - offense, but she paid the gesture no mind. "I'm here to collect on that favor."

He looked into the air for a moment before snapping his fingers. "Right, the deal. Yep..." He went under his desk, pulling a pouch from it. "Here we are. Two pure dragon fangs. Straight from a Greater...'s corpse."

"Alright," Wren reached for it, only for the pouch to be moved away from her. "What?"

The male raised an eyebrow. "Now, see I don't do these favors for just anyone. You know why I helped you out, Sunshine."

Wren clicked her tongue. "Yeah, yeah. I'll get Concordia off of your back," the barely contained look of annoyance on her face seemed to amuse him, as evidence by his grin. His very sharp-toothed, predatory-looking grin.

"See, symbiosis," he said, handing her the pouch. "Can I get a kiss with that?"

"Sure. Just learn how to woo a girl and I'm sure she'll pity you enough to do it," Wren said, turning to walk away.

"You hurt me, Wrenner!" He called after her.

"Good," she said back, disappearing into the sigil. She had a few more stops to make for her shopping excursion.

Xavier chuckled. "What because you don't want her seeing you in bed with your... Well was your ex." He quipped before smirking. "Yeah, don't blame you." He realized something. "Shit we have dinner with my mother tonight..." Xavier sighed. "Well now I'm not getting back go sleep." The nephalem muttered irritably under his breath. "I might go work on some code for..." He stopped himself, realizing that Rose probably wouldn't like the AI. He made a mental note to remove the cat ears the first chance he got. "My latest project."

Don looked at Raku for a moment before smirking. "It's okay, I didn't know how to cook till I got here either," he pointed out before pointing towards the skillet. "I'll teach you, it's no problem at all."

When she heard of the upcoming dinner with Xavier's mother, she sighed and frowned.

"Oh lovely," she spoke with disdain, "I'm having dinner with the woman who called me a whore...was this really a good idea?"

Xavier sighed, he had forgotten that she had heard his mother say that. "I know this isn't going to make you feel any better, but my mother treats every girl I've ever brought home like that." He muttered. "She comes around when she realizes they aren't going anywhere, but there's this part of her who wants me to bring home a girl like her, you know a pretty blonde Infernal that's all fire and brimstone." He mused. "I know you might not want to come and that's completely up to you, but I have no choice." He chuckled, sitting up. "I should probably go work on this code before we go shopping later..."

"I'll go," Rose sighed as she looked at him, "Also do you have to work on coding at four in the morning. Can you stay for at least five more minutes?"

Xavier chuckled at this, lying back down. "Five more minutes." He said with a smile, closing his eyes.

"Thank you," Rose smiled as she curled up to him. "I'm glad you're back."

The final thing Wren needed to pick up was easier to get. Luckily, she had the sigils to let her travel everywhere.

Only about an hour and a half had passed before she returned back to the house. The Celestial entered from the sigil door, stretching as she entered the home. The smell of breakfast wafted into her nose, and she was happy to see that Don hadn't managed to burn down the house.

"Smells nice in here," she called out to the two chefs, taking off her jacket at the front door to put on the coat rack.

After Xavier had spent the promised five minutes (and then some) with Rose, he had eventually gotten himself out of bed. After a quick shower, he went back into his room, made a quick cup of coffee and got to coding. However it wasn't long until he found himself in another mess.

Master, I don't understand why you're taking my cat ears away. I like them. Juliet the AI was protesting Xavier's modifications.

"Because I have to." Xavier answered without really answering.

But they're cute and I can twitch them. The AI said before doing just that, cutely twitching her black cat ears. Xavier rolled his eyes.

"And that's exactly why I have to remove them." He muttered irritably.

But I like them. Juliet was still protesting.

"I am your creator!" Xavier shouted. "And no more cat ears!"

"Thank you, it's the food we ordered after the last one exploded," Don joked as he saw Wren walk in. "But really I asked Raku to help me out and it's all ready," he stated before walking back into the kitchen. "I must've had a great teacher if I'm able to teach already"

"Morning," Ken yawned as he walked out of his room and towards Xavier's, knocking on his door, only to hear his voice from outside. "...cat ears?"

Xavier kicked the door open, not getting up from his chair. He nodded in Ken's direction, furiously typing away on his keyboard. Juliet the AI was on all the screens in the room and she still had the cat ears in question. "Morning." He said, not taking his headphones off. "We're headed to the mall later to do Christmas shopping. Come along if you haven't done it yet." He suggested.

'That's what I was gonna ask, what is that?" Ken asked in curiosity as he pointed at Juliet. "And why does she have cat ears?" he said before opting to close the door in case anyone walked by.

My creator named me Juliet. I'm an artificial construct designed to help Xavier around the house with the coding and upkeep of the various networks keeping this establishment running, both magical and technology based. Juliet replied.

"In English, she's an AI to help me with tech shit." Xavier quipped.

As for my appearance and personality, these were melded based on the subconscious desires of my creator. Even if he's trying to delete my lovely cat ears.

"I swear to god Juliet I'm going to pull the bloody plug on you."

Aren't the cat ears nice Ken? Even if they aren't Amber's ears, you must admit they are nice.

"Am-wait what!?" Ken called out, a slight blush on his face at the mention of Amber before he looked at Juliet. "...I can see why you're removing them considering Ms. Rose," he said, narrowing his eyes at Xavier. "They are pretty cute though."

Why thank you. You're far more kind than Xavier is. What with the yelling and the deleting of my ears." Juliet smiled.

"I still can't figure out why she acts like this." Xavier muttered. "It must be a bug in the code somewhere."

I continue to tell you that my personality is solely based on your own desire. So you simply enjoy this aspect of me, just as you enjoy all aspects of my being. Including the cat ears.

Xavier banged his head against the desk. "I have to figure out the cat ears. Before Rose wakes up." Xavier muttered under his breath. "Or she'll kill me."

"Hmmmm," Ken said in thought before glancing down at the keyboard and pressing a random key.

Wren raised her eyebrow. "Who taught you?"

You have activated the 'Cat Ear' removal protocol. Juliet said in a voice that made it clear that this was not actually the case, that she was just screwing with Xavier. Cat ears will now be removed. And with that, the cat ears were gone.

"No shit." He looked over at Ken. "Well done mate." Xavier chuckled, knowing that Ken actually had nothing to do with it, but he was just happy the crisis was averted.

Alexis hadn't slept well and decided to get up from the bed. Yawning, she headed down to the kitchen and sat down in one of the chairs.

"I hope my day goes better than it's started," she sighed as she put her head on the table.
