*Insert boring and mundane topic name here* Happy now Lulu?

Liyra smiled and hugged him then planted a kiss on his lips, "Come on, let's go see just how much you love me." Liyra giggled as she kinda dragged Cai off to the bedroom.

*timeskip*

The next morning, Cai woke up before his wife. He decided to let her sleep in a bit, so he went to check on Leyla and Lydia. Leyla was fine, still asleep, as it was somewhat early in the morning, so that was all normal. But he soon found that he couldn't find Lydia. He looked from room to room, getting more frantic with each empty room.

Liyra remained asleep and Lydia was nowhere to be seen anywhere in the house.

Now he was worried. Cai's immediate thought was to check outside, for whatever reason.

Liyra still asleep, Lydia still gone

"Lydia!" he called into the morning air, extremely worried now.

No one answered, Liyra woke up and just thought Cai was making her breakfast or something.

Considering he assumed his family was asleep, and he felt obligated to take care of Lydia, he decided to go look for her. Of course, as soon as he made up his mind, he felt the presence of someone behind him. He turned to see who it was.

"Cai? Where are you going?" Liyra asked as she sleepily rubbed her eyes.

Cai was a little disappointed; he'd been hoping that he wouldn't have to go out to find the crazy Neko girl. "Lydia's gone," he said, "I'm going to try to find her."

"Huh? Maybe she went out to get breakfast or something.." Liyra half yawned.

"I'm not so sure about that," Cai said. After what had happened the day before, he had no idea what to think. "Maybe you should go back to sleep. You seem tired," he continued.

"O-Ok." Liyra said unsure before going back to her room.

Cai blinked as she actually listened to him, expecting her to at least insist on waiting for a moment. After a moment, he went back out the door to search for the missing girl.

"I wonder what happened, he normally isn't like this." Liyra said to herself confused as she got back in bed.

Now Cai was wandering around calling out for Lydia, blah blah blah.

Leyla was sound asleep.

meanwhile Lydia was laying on a bench somewhere, she was freezing and her face was stained with tears.

It took Cai a little bit to find her, but he eventually spotted Lydia on the bench. He approached her silently, unable to tell if she was asleep, and not wanting to wake her up. He was completely visible from Lydia's position, if she had her eyes open, that is.

Lydia just laid there shivering, too tired to cry.

Cai took note of the shivering and took his jacket off (relax ladies he's still got a shirt on) and placed it over Lydia like a blanket. "And this is why you don't wander off into the cold in the middle of the night," he said in a light tone.

Lydia immediately threw the jacket off of herself, "Leave me alone." She said vehemently.

Cai caught the jacket without much effort, seemingly disappointed at the rejection of his kindness. "I just don't want you freezing to death out here," he said.

"I said leave me alone!" She all but shouted as she quickly got up and started to quickly walk away, she figured it might be better if she had, though perhaps more so that she wouldn't trouble him further.

As we all know, Cai was not going to let her go like that. "I don't care what you said, I want to make sure you're taken care of," he said, following her and catching her arm.

Lydia immediately started to struggle was about to scream for help when a hand grabbed Cai by the wrist, "Hey buddy, the lady said to leave her alone, But just incase you're hard or hearing I'll make it clear for ya." the voice that owned the hand spoke before another hand grabbed Cai by the back of his neck and squeezed hard. "Leave the girl alone!" The man shouted as he quickly pulled Cai down by his neck and kneed him in the chest, effectively winding him for a short time.
