Cade promptly stalled when his shoulder felt Olivia placed her hand on it. His blond head turned to give her a bewildered expression. A hand jerked up to adjust his glasses, prevented them from sliding down his nose and crash onto the floor. 


The electrical lights and erotic movements caused Cade to lose Samad in the crowd. It was likely the disgruntled Asylum’s intentions. 

He sighed at Samad’s stubbornness and inability to work with him. This seriously wasn’t the time for such… irrationality. However Cade knew telling the older Asylum that would only go in one ear and drift out the other. Wasting time and energy in the effort of his breath.  

Upon Kiara’s interruption, his peripheral vision caught sight of her shadow. The thing shuddered and drifted from under her. It darted into Samad’s wake. 

[color=7CCD7C]“I don’t think he really wants to depend on you. He never really does if he can help it, especially on me.”[/color] Cade explained. 

His eyes narrowed in his partner’s wake. It was about the only thing he could as Samad was already long gone and served only to ease his frustration. It didn’t help that both Olivia and Lawrence were right. At the rate he was going, he would pass out from pure stress.    

[color=7CCD7C]“It’s hard not to worry. Anaya is an old friend. I haven’t seen her since I surged, and she had to explain to me what was going to happen when AMRO arrived. Granted, she didn’t realize the hell I was going to go through…”[/color] 

His words trailed off a bit at the end as Olivia suggested they take a seat. He nodded then followed where the woman led, being polite. As he sat, he heard Kaira’s question being answered to Olivia. 

[color=7CCD7C] “You look like someone who would thrive in a club. Especially with how well you blend in.”[/color] Cade blurted out loud. 

While being honest, the statement could’ve been seen as flirting. Or flattery. Realizing this, Cade bit his cheek then rolled his tongue in thought. 

[color=7CCD7C] “No, I don’t belong in a club. Give me a doctor’s office, or a classroom, and that is a different story. The Legendes were assisting in my medical education before… things fell apart.”[/color]
