Cain did his best to keep his smirk off his face while Nox cracked up next to him. Using magic like that to taunt the kid was too funny. Cruz went a bit cross-eyed as he tried to follow the threads being woven in front of him. Not for the first time Cain regretted the fact that he had such limitations about using his magic. Obviously Nox and Dane had no such blocks on their power so it couldn't be a universal thing. The redhead bit his lip to keep from laughing out loud. When the two of them were led inside (and greeted by an honest to god butler of all things), he decided to keep his coat, following Nox's lead. Cain didn't want to lose it if he had to beat a hasty retreat for whatever reason.
His eyebrows rose once again as his friend kissed the girl - Rachel's - hand, acting all charming. Out of the corner of his eye, he could see Cruz's frown, and Cain couldn't help but grin. Obviously Rachel and Cruz had something going on, and obviously rich-boy was the type who wasn't so fond of other men kissing his girl.
Unfortunately, Cain wasn't the charming type. His accent was toned down, but by no means was it like Dane's crisp, posh accent. He'd look foolish if he tried to pull off what Nox had. However, the redhead knew what worked for him, and he could do a pretty good 'roguish'. Cain met her hand in a firm shake, not so much that it would be uncomfortable but so that she could feel the strength of it and the callouses on his hands. The redhead had made a living with physical labor, and had the body to prove it, unlike Cruz. Cain's grin widened to something more genuine.
"Nice to meet you, Rachel. Sorry to have kept you waiting. If I'd known that we were wasting the time of lady of your caliber, I'd have made this lug,"
he released Rachel's hand, and clapped Nox on the shoulder. "Stop dawdling."
