Xyveris would be in her room in short order, having sensed her arrival and not Cayn's.  This could be really bad.  Xyveris wouldn't approach the bed immediately, but would sit in the chair Cayn had occupied not that long ago.  "So he's a bit of an asshole," Xyveris began as a way of breaking the ice.  "As humans put it.  But he's also never allowed himself to experience anything.  He's never taken an apprentice before.  He's never allowed anyone, myself included, close to him like you are.  So don't take it too hard on the guy."<br/><br/>Xyveris' tentacles would move out to gently stroke her hair and back, little sounds of soothing coming from them as he did.  "Cayn came to me at an early age.  He hasn't experienced anything beyond the Night Parade.  And even here, amongst the freaks and oddities, he's excluded.  They fear him.  Even I fear him a bit.  He's a dangerous man of an unknown temper, but he's...different.  I think he's trying to bury the last of his humanity, to snuff out anything that isn't supernatural and demonic."
