Cain smiled at Asha and Elias in greeting, but blinked at Nox's explanation of Dane. He didn't know if Nox just didn't want to fully explain the threat that Dane posed, or if he and this Aria woman had actually dated for a while. That would be... well, the guy could be charming but it would be a bit like sleeping with a mountain lion.
The redhead felt a bit awkward. He was sort of hovering beside Nox, not sure what he could do to help. Replacing a lock was more of a one-man job, and he'd likely just get in the way. However, his position gave him the ideal vantage point to see a neat trick Nox pulled. The man made a structure with his magic, but rather than maintain the web, he sort of tied the ends of the threads together to keep it stable before releasing his power. Cain furrowed his brow as he studied the spell. That would be a useful way of keeping any magical constructs around without having to exhaust himself with holding them steady. He made a mental note to try the trick later.
Still, there wasn't much he could do. Cain considered approaching Elias and making conversation, but the man was putting off some very clear 'do-not-talk-to-me' vibes, so the redhead decided he was better off keeping his distance. Instead he turned to Asha.
"Uh, how do you know Nox then?"
He fought the urge to cringe. Geez he needed to work on his small talk.
