Cautiously, Cain accepted the wallet and played the video. He'd seen news that Ascendancy confirmed the existence of magic, and that he wa magical himself. That was the kind of thing that made it around the world instantly, even the depths of the Underground. However he'd never seen the full interview afterwards. Cain didn't have access to anything but fragments of news stories. He couldn't loiter around pubs and electronics stores for too long before the shop keeps came out to sweep the metaphorical rubbish away.
His eyebrows rose as their leader spoke of the Atharim as a terrorist group that was targeting magical humans. He was even more shocked when he got to the end and heard that the man was offering them sanctuary from the organization. This potentially changed things dramatically. Cain had been operating on the assumption that he had to deal with his problems on his own, but so long as Ascendancy was genuinely making them a good faith offer of protection, it seemed he had a powerful ally. If Dane truly wasn't Atharim, then Nox likely was also telling the truth about not being a threat to magicians. And if they were lying, then it wouldn't make sense for them to show him that he had another way out.
It was horribly hypocritical of him to attack them with one breath and then ask for advice with the next, but he wasn't exactly rolling in allies here. "Alright I believe you. Are you two going to do what he said and register with the CCD?"
