Any time the subject even came close to touching Ryan Kane's expression would get hard and distant like he was just steeling himself for a fight and gritting his teeth. He was terribly protective of the younger man and the comment led him to bite out, "When it comes to him, you DO need my permission." His voice sounded downright hostile in a way that had never been directed at Dimitri before. One could never forget that Kane was downright dangerous, and he had ripped into Dimitri before to prove it. "Don't test me on this. I don't care what you vowed, when it comes to him he is off-limits." He could see that the newly dark-haired demon was doing his best to hold back his rage but Kane seemed to have washed over with a cool indifference as he looked over to the man boldly declaring love for him.<br/><br/>"I don't know if I believe you." He stated bluntly and tipping his head to the side those orange eyes assessing Dimitri as the man turned to leave. "You can run off if you want, but I think it's pretty cowardly to have you show up and splash this information at my feet only to take off tail tucked between your legs." There was a simmering rage in Kane that he was sure was going to be a problem considering how mixed up he felt about the whole situation. "Go ahead and leave then. It seems like that's what you really want as much as you seem to insist otherwise." He was a touch paranoid that Dimitri was in the perfect position to fuck with him like this, to really get under his skin if he wanted to and right now the powerful demon wasn't sure he wanted to play along.
