Hey, hey. Like I promised, we get Wolf's opinions and I decided to add a little something for shippers of Kaider (Kai x Cinder), since we'll get our bit of Scarlet and Wolf together in the upcoming chapters. Now, let's see how Wolf feels.

Wolf stared at the suit Cinder threw at him as she went to make preparations for the rescue mission. He, once again, was in Scarlet's room, one of the only places he'd stay without his alpha nearby. And to think, he would be seeing his alpha in a mere few hours... Wolf began to smile, something he hadn't done for a while. His job was to find Scarlet after she sang and get her out of there in the most discreet way possible. Wolf stood up and began to get prepared. The hours couldn't fiy by fast enough.

Cinder was in a flurry. Even though Cress, Iko, and Kai were trying to help, there was too much to be done. Thorne wanted to help, but with his vision still blurry, he was more of a nuisance. And Cinder didn't dare ask Wolf for help. After about an hour, Kai grabbed Cinder's hands and made her sit down while he, Cress, and Iko finished the work that needed to be done. Soon, Cress and Iko had finished their share and, after sharing a glance, left the room.

Kai turned towards Cinder. "You were at risk of overheating, weren't you?"

"...No," Cinder lied, glancing away from him.

Kai raised an eyebrow. "Sure, Liar." He sat down next to her. "Cinder. Cinder, look at me."

Cinder glanced at him, and seeing the serious look he was giving her, decided to comply.

"Cinder, you may be the almighty Princess Selene, but you're still human. I understand this is a lot of work and pressure and planning, but you still need to take time for yourself," Kai smiled before adding, "We can't have you working yourself to death, now can we?"

"Why not? I'm joking, I'm joking. There's just so much work to be done."

"Take time for yourself. That's all I have to say," Kai said before kissing her gently. "Now let's go see what the others are doing. It sounds like they're killing cats over there."

Iko ran down the hall, stopping at the doorway, almost skidding past them. There was what looked like rice pudding decorating her blue hair and pink blouse and she lost her shawl, the hole in her neck quite obvious. "Hey... We're in a bit of a predicament."

Wolf, having heard the crashing sounds in the Rampion's kitchen, walked in at the same time Cinder and Kai did through the other doorway. The room looked like a rice pudding bomb had gone off, covering the walls, floor and everyone inside. Cress and Thorne had apparently been standing close to impact, covered in the pudding, with Iko a little farther off. Cinder sighed at the mess. More work for them and they only had two hours before landing on Luna.

"Hey guys. I sorta don't know how to cook," Thorne said, wiping pudding off his face.

Wolf, for the first time in who knows when, let out a full smile and patted Thorne on the back despite the pudding all over him. "Nice going, Cadet."

I thought some humor in such a serious time would be nice. I was thinking I'll upload every other day, every day if I find time. Let me know what'd you like. Sorry this is coming out late again. I was busy with a capital "B" again and only had time to upload now. Oh well. See ya soon!
