Nic slowly got up and walked over to Laurel, putting his arms around her gently.

--

Raven ran a hand through Frei's hair. "... What about you?" he asked gently. "Do... we help you?"

Laurel slowly loosened up and hugged him back tightly, shaking a little.

--

Frei didn't respond as she leaned her head against Raven's chest. He already knew the answer to that.

Nic held Laurel as long as it took.

--

Raven sighed a little. He ran his hand through Frei's hair quietly for awhile before telling her, "I want you to know I plan on staying... with you and Wolfe. I'll keep helping you both as much as I can. And I want you to know that I love you both, and I hope you both love me back."

Finally Laurel untangled herself and took a deep breath, "Let's... go to the light house anyway. It's pretty."

--

Frei was quiet for a moment before leaning up and kissing Raven's cheek lightly.

So Nic got back on his motorcycle and started it up.

--

Raven smiled a little before kissing Frei's forehead. "... So what do you want to do today?" he asked.

Laurel did the same but the energy seemed to be gone now. She looked around, "I don't know where we are," she admitted.

--

"Play with Kitten," she stated. She never actually called her jaguar kitten, 'kitten'.

Nic seemed to have some idea as he started driving off at a reasonable speed.

--

Raven glanced at the jaguar kitten.

Laurel followed slightly behind him.

--

Frei didn't look at the kitten as she moved to get out of Raven's arms.

Somehow Nic ended up at the lighthouse and stopped the bike beside it.

--

Raven let Frei go.

Laurel slowly got off and looked at the water before going over and standing beside Nic. "Do you think the view is pretty?" she asked quietly.

--

So Frei went off in search of Fin.

"... Sure," Nic replied blankly. He didn't seem to be looking at anything in particular.

--

Raven blinked as Frei walked off. "What about kitten?" he asked, moving to pick up the jaguar.

Laurel slowly took Nic's arm, "How do you define 'pretty'?" she asked softly.

--

"That's not Kitten," she stated blankly, "That's Mr. Whiskers."

"... Something desirable to look at," Nic replied.

--

"... Then who- Oh..." Raven replied with a bit of a smirk. "Hey, I have some errands to run. You want to invite kitten along for half a day on one of the islands?"

Laurel paused, "What else is desirable to look at?" she asked.

--

Frei paused, "Is Ryuji coming?"

Nic blinked, not sure if she was fishing for a compliment or not. But in case she was, he replied, "You."

--

"... I think he's busy," Raven replied.

Apparently she hadn't been because she looked startled and blushed a little. "N-No I meant... things you like to look at."

--

Frei nodded. Waiting for him to come. The cat jumped off the table and into Frei's arms, she didn't hesitate to put him on her shoulder where he sat comfortably.
