Elias clearly didn't think very highly of them, and wasn't impressed that they weren't confronting Dane to get the key back. The man met Cain's eyes as if he were challenging him to defend himself. The redhead felt a spike of anger, and clenched his jaw but otherwise didn't respond. Cain had absolutely no desire to fight Dane over a stranger's life, especially not a bellend like Elias. Dane could kill the jerk for all Cain cared.
Asha seemed nice though, worth going out of their way to ensure that she didn't become one of Dane's victims. Cain sat down as directed, careful to keep some distance between himself and Elias. He wasn't particularly hungry but he wasn't one to turn down free food, and so he grabbed something to munch on. Besides, it was something to do to keep him occupied. The redhead couldn't help but grin at Asha's story.
"Yeah, he does have a bit of a hero complex doesn't he?"
Cain was starting to get a better picture of his friend now. The guy rescued people off the streets and went to change someone else's locks to keep them safe. Obviously Nox was still Atharim and thus would have to be treated carefully, but it made the redhead feel better that his actions towards Cain weren't out of character. It made it more likely that the guy didn't have any nefarious ulterior motives.
It seemed that Nox was getting ready to go, job done, so Cain got up and stood by him. His lips twitched when the other magician teased the two of them. "Well, it's been a pleasure meeting you Asha,"
he said, purposefully not mentioning Elias, though he did nod in the other man's direction, just so that he wasn't entirely rude.
