Cade learned about the ropes half a second before Nerva warned him, and both revelations were too late. He had tried to take a step and collapsed to the floor again with a heavy thud, blanket and all. It took him a moment before he was able to recover his dignity enough to murmur, "where are my clothes."
"Just how often is sometimes?" She grumbles back. "Or are you actually named after a drink?"
Making sure her makeshift toga was secure, she stumbled out of the bed. "I don't even know what you're talking about. Nothing. Happened."
She was more than happy to go full denial on this one. Finding what could only be Cade's underpants - as they definitely weren't hers, or Fate's (she assumed), she threw them beside Cade's head on the floor.
"Sometimes is sometimes, and I'm flattered you remembered that story."
Finding his trousers, Fate calmly starts to clothe himself, dusting himself off absently as he goes. A bit wrinkled, but he supposes that could be worse.
"That's the spirit, Nerva. Because you most certainly own that riding crop, do you?" A grin forms faintly. "Cade, you aren't going to die of embarrassment down there, are you?"
Cade swiftly reclaimed them, but found to his chagrin that he could not put them back on until his feet were untied. He disappeared beneath the blanket for several moments as he did so, then stood, presumably at least partially clothed, but still with the blanket around him, as he scanned the room for his other garments. He pointedly avoided looking at the other two, but his furious blush indicated he had heard Twisted Fate and was choosing to ignore him.
Interestingly, the fact that Cade was blushing hard enough to glow actually made her feel better. Twisted Fate was being an ass, of course, but that was to be expected. Cade blushing so badly at least meant that she wasn't the one taking this the worst, which probably was a bit cruel but she could take what little salve for her ego she could get.
She picked up the riding crop and tucked it under her arm, looking haughty.
"Of course it's mine. What else would I use to deal with animals." Okay yes she might still be a bit prickly.
