Andrés is silent through the rest of their drive, and so is Nick: therefore likely so is Pen. It is not far to Kiara's apartment and for that duration there is only quiet, Quiet. Nick keeps his hand on Andrés' shoulder, as unlikely as it is that the Etherite is aware of it; after a while his hand moves down to the sweatshirt balled around Andrés' hand in order to apply pressure.
Ten minutes before they arrive Kiara receives another text: About 10 mins away. Warning: Andrés may have eaten a bad backlash.
They do eventually arrive at Kiara's, and the chime and the cat herald their arrival before they come up to meet her in her apartment. Nick guides Andrés upstairs with a hand on his shoulder, much as he did as they were leaving the hotel. The door is partially open: Nicholas knocks on the frame before he steps into the doorway. Even then he remains just at the threshold; this is only good sense when entering the home of another mage. "Kiara?"
