As Caden is spending time with his mother, Cayn and Xyveris met in the lower levels of the castle, where Cayn had his laboratory set up.  "Are you going to talk to her?" Xyveris asked.  "Why bother?" Cayn responded, moving amongst his tomes of arcane lore.  "She's already discovered that I'm an evil creature.  There's no reason for her to bother with me any more beyond learning magic."<br/><br/>"You're a fool Cayn," Xyveris said, arms folding over his chest.  "She cares for you.  If you're too blind to see that, perhaps it's time for you to open your eyes."  Cayn paused in his movements through the books, turning to look over his shoulder.  "Why do you care?" Cayn finally asked.  "I wish to see you happy," Xyveris said, heading towards the door leading out of the room.  "You're not your father's child anymore than anyone else is.  You possess the same free will that humans do.  Use it."
