Cayn paused in his reading as he looked at her.  Caden was looking around for a few moments before settling his gaze upon Cayn as well.  The two supernatural creatures looked at one another, silent conversation going between them.  "Why don't the two of you talk for a while," Caden said with a bit of a grin.  "I'll talk to you later, Liz."  Caden proceeded to toddle off at a reasonably quick pace.<br/><br/>Meanwhile, Cayn stood there, shutting the book and reaching up with a hand to run along his face.  "My apologies for earlier," Cayn said softly.  "You're correct in that I'm...not what I try to proclaim I am.  A friend made me realize I'm merely trying to push anyone who gets close to me away."
