Being back in the familiar surroundings of her home immediately put the feline back at ease, a salve on the raw wounds which had been reopened so unexpectedly tonight. Along with the tantalizing scent of the crepes beckoning it was enough to nearly make her forget it, or at least suppress it better than she had been earlier in the evening. It had her hurrying around the kitchen with ease and quickness which came from daily routine, her attention on pulling those plates and silverware from their places before that sleepy mew caught her attention. The hope that Sebastian wouldn't mind her companion seemingly unnecessary as he waved off her concern while the slightly pudge tabby padded towards the living room. Her explanation of how the two coexisted tossed over her shoulder as she plated their desserts, and only when the vampire questioned that she had not taken him with her upon leaving the city did she pause for a moment with plates in hand. A frown passing across her features if only for a moment.

"I left in a hurry and wasn't sure how long I would be gone." Her gaze moving to watch Grayson as he padded towards his favorite blanket pooled on the armchair in the living room. She had left in such a hurry, and not taking him had been one of her biggest regrets though with all that had happened it was surely for the best. She had well and truly gone from the frying pan and into the fire with her decision to leave. "I made sure he had food and left a note for my neighbor asking her to watch out for him. I couldn't believe it when he showed up again." The cat's return was honestly the brightest moment in her life at the time and gave her hope that maybe everything around her wasn't completely destroyed by her actions.

A light smile appeared as she shook her head slightly, moving towards the table once more and returning the focus to her inquiry about that ribbon and her companions promise to give her a better explanation about what it would entail. Setting the plates on the table before them Carolina was quick to settle comfortably into her chair and delve into that scrumptious desert which had her mouth watering. The first bite every bit as decadent and rich as she could have hoped for, slightly salted caramel balanced with sweet banana and whipped cream created a perfect balance that had her humming in appreciation of the treat. The only thing which could pull her attention from such a wonderful delight was the sudden appearance of that red ribbon from thin air. Entranced she watched it pool in the Prince's hand, setting her form down to study it when he offered her the chance before extending her wrist as he requested. The vampire agreeing with her assessment of just how handy such a thing could be as the featherlight material was tied around her wrist.

She could not resist letting her fingers run over the satiny surface once more before it suddenly vanished, surprise flickering across her features as she turned her wrist experimentally. She couldn't feel anything there even though her mind seemed to insist their was, perhaps that feeling of presence would always linger from now on. Her attention diverted back towards her handsome companion as Sebastian went on to explain the benefits of their bond... and its limitations. She smiled sardonically, nose crinkling at the royal's insistence that he would no doubt miss her blood too much were she to go missing. "Is that all you would miss?" She couldn't help tease, sticking her tongue out just slightly as she picked her fork back up and turned back to her crepe.

Her curiosity however could not be denied as she inquired if she too might be able to sense Sebastian on the other end of that connection, the question seeming to give him a moment of pause before he answered. She nodded thoughtfully at his response while she savored another delectable bite, sure that the bond into which they were entering might have some unexpected side effects. It was his next request however which had her turquoise eyes cutting sideways at the suave vampire, one eyebrow arching as she considered it. "Hm... only if you make it worth my while." She murmured before portioning off another bite, atop which she heaped more whipped cream before putting it hastily into her mouth unsure of just how much of the incredible crepe she would end up willing to share.
