[Not-so-OOM: Nick finds out that Kick's been hiding something very important.

It goes about as well as Kick suspected it would.

... which isn't well at all.]

[ooc: Post is very much open for tagging, but I won't be around until later this afternoon.]

It's fairly early when Kick and Nero come trotting down the stairs, early enough for Nick to still be sound asleep, buried under a mound of blankets that Kick insisted she needed. It was cold last night.
