Xyveris would shrug.  "Money doesn't matter much to us," he said.  "It's just something we use whenever we need to.  For the most part we don't have to.  But when we do, we can afford to splurge a little.  Give someone a few thousand years to accrue a bit of money here and there."  He smiled, displaying those teeth that were, in a word, dangerous.  "But that's neither here nor there.  Brian will return with whatever he purchased, have no fear."<br/><br/>"The worry now is Cayn.  He's still there.  He just talks big to protect himself.  You like him.  It's not hard to determine that.  And he's never had anyone like him before.  He's always been the one everyone is afraid of.  So it's different when you're around.  So he feels the need to try and push at you.  Scare and shock you.  That's his defense mechanism.  I believe I've seen humans do that, as well."
