</div></div><br/><br/><br/><span style="font-size: 18px"><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#bfbfbf">Kais pondered the information Isaiah gave, it was twisted and turned to and fro like a Rubik's cube before he responded with a soft grunt of approval. "He doesn't mind if you drop in unexpectedly, but will more than likely mind if I do."<br/>
<br/>
Although Kais didn't bother to peek deeper into Isaiah's Rolodex of memories, the startlingly gorgeous Norwegian male definitely fit the bill for<i> someone young and beautiful. </i>Not that he was worried about sharing Isaiah again, he just was the kind of guy that preferred some advance warning. Otherwise he would have to resort to using his innate abilities just to gain the knowledge he wanted without Isaiah's permission, and he was trying very hard not to do that. Kais patiently waited for Isaiah to collect the spare key from its hidden nook, and open the lock so they would have shelter for the night.<br/>
<br/>
He absolutely preferred the upscale over the shabby, but would make due with whatever was available. His priority was keeping Isaiah safe from harm, and the lavish atmosphere was just an added bonus. The blonde carefully surveyed the interior of the condominium through the door as it cracked ajar. Isaiah might consider his vanishing act odd, as well as his skill of finding the location of a bathroom in a home he'd never visited before. In the blink of an eye, Kais was off and running.<br/>
<br/>
He dematerialized from behind Isaiah, appearing in the upstairs hallway while Isaiah fumbled with the lights downstairs. He wanted to explore the upper level bathroom and the bedroom they would be sleeping in without Isiah's presence. Of course he admired the interior decor, but he was also sealing any open portals to the underworld that might allow his infernal brethren access to the condo tonight. Kais needed to conserve his energy and recoup from earlier in the evening before Lucifer assembled another horde of demons to eliminate him.<br/>
<br/>
A moment later, Isaiah might have heard the melodic echo of his voice from somewhere upstairs, the sound of running water heard in the background as Kais turned it on and off. Instead of an standard sink, the owner had installed a custom concrete sink with a functional waterfall faucet that allowed the water to cascade into a vessel sink made of natural stone. Every time Kais stuck his hand beneath the faucet, the motion activated the water flow. The rest of the bathroom was just as aesthetically pleasing. with a relaxing copper soaking tub and glass enclosed steam shower with dual rainfall shower heads.<br/>
<br/>
"A shame there's no bidet here. I do love the water fixtures." Kais commented loudly, stepping out of the bathroom and into the hallway.<br/>
<br/>
Kais hadn't missed a thing. Isaiah had just turned on all the lights and was serving himself a drink of whatever the amber liquid in the decanter was, when he sent a humorous barb flying.<br/>
<br/>
Kais was just in time to pop up behind Isaiah, practically looking over his shoulder.<br/>
<br/>
<i>"Kjæreste.</i> I am a Grigori. Not a bull in a china shop." Kais piped in with a witty retort.<br/>
<br/>
Kais didn't derive the same ill effects from alcoholic drink as humans did when they overindulged. It would take several bottles of bourbon to leave him with a dull ache in his head, and that was pretty much all the alcohol would do before it was rapidly metabolized and excreted from his system. He cast a dubious gaze in Isaiah's direction, as if he seriously doubted the glass of liquid courage would help improve his dysfunctional circadian rhythm. Even if he found Isaiah irresistible, he was well aware his charge needed a good night's rest.<br/>
<br/>
Kais had every intention of joining Isaiah in bed tonight. He didn't require sleep, and would stand guard over Isaiah as he drifted into slumber. Joining him on the ascent upstairs, he was already familiar with the layout and had already performed reconnaissance on any and all portals he found. Any portals he did discover were few and far between, and Kais was thankful for that because it meant it would be harder for the sewer dwellers to track him down. In the bedroom, Kais began to assist his lover as he removed his clothes.<br/>
<br/>
"Lay down, Isaiah. Relax. It's way past your bedtime," Kais replied in a voice that held a comforting almost lulling resonance to it.<br/>
<br/>
Only when Isaiah was laying in bed with his clothing off, did Kais begin to remove his own. He had not yet responded to Isaiah's comments, electing to listen as he vented his feelings. "You have nothing to fear, <i>min kjære.</i> I've already prepared this room for your rest. No one will harm you here."</span></span><br/><span style="font-size: 18px"><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#bfbfbf"></span></span><br/><span style="font-size: 18px"><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#bfbfbf">Kais dropped his pants first, then his shirt slipped to the floor like vapor in his hand. He was close enough to the bed for Isaiah to wrap his arm around him and cause him to stumble forward so he was wrestled underneath the comforter with him. "No need to apologize, Isaiah. I understand your motives are a part of human nature. I wish I could give you more reassuring news, but can only say that no matter what happens next, I will defend you and protect you. So fear not, <i>ja?"</i></span></span><br/><span style="font-size: 18px"><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#bfbfbf"></span></span><br/><span style="font-size: 18px"><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#bfbfbf">

His muscled arms encircled Isaiah, drawing his body close to his warmth. As he did, his fingers gently swept over his silky hair. It was a moment where Kais decided to delve into Isaiah's busy, thought-filled mind and slow the hands of time. Kais sensed that his human would never go to sleep without a little urging from him, so he pushed a little energy along with the light strokes of his fingers against his hair. The bedroom was completely silent as far as Kais was concerned, but to Isaiah, he would continue to hear Kais' voice as it provided the equivalent of an auditory sedative.<br/>
<br/>
Eventually sleep would occur, and it would be an overwhelming fatigue Isaiah could no longer resist. Kais listened to Isaiah as he asked his worried questions. Eventually his words began to slur as he faded off into sleep, and his breathing became a steady rhythm.</span></span><br/><span style="font-size: 18px"><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#bfbfbf"></span></span><br/><span style="font-size: 18px"><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#bfbfbf">"Shh.
