((Sorry I misse this yesterday! Also for continuity reasons I think that this would be the next day? Nox stayed out all night so this post would take place the day after Cain's conversation with Phaser.))
Most people showered either at night or in the morning. Those people weren't semi-homeless who had been given access to unlimited clean water in which to shower. In short, Cain was happy as a clam. As he took his second shower in less than 24 hours, he hummed to himself. The redhead had slept well the night before. He hadn't taken the bed in case Nox came back, but the carpeted floor of the hotel room was far more comfortable than the concrete tunnels he normally slept on. Plus, he hasn't felt bad about nicking one of the pillows and a sheet from the bed.
Overall it'd been a great night: free pizza, nice (albeit weird) company, and good sleep. And taking another shower to feel minty fresh was a good start to the morning. Cain was a bit startled by Nox shouting through the door, but he's been essentially finished anyway. Plus it was good to get confirmation that the guy was still alive. Cain hadn't worried about him too much; the guy could clearly take care of himself. However, Nox's wellbeing had been something of a nagging thought.
When he dressed and exited the bathroom, Cain was pretty sure about what'd gone down. When a man stays out all night and comes back with a certain loose-limbed ease to him, there's one logical explanation. If Nox were any one of his mates back home, he'd give him a good ribbing. Cain didn't really know the guy well enough for that just yet, so he did his best to bite down on his grin.
"I'm assuming that the things you have to do today aren't like the things you had to do last night? You're nice enough on the eyes I s'ppose but I don't put out after the first date," the redhead said with a wink. Alright, the whole 'don't say anything about the obvious' plan was already a failure. Cain just couldn't resist the easy joke. Feeling merciful, Cain turned to rummage through his things and ignored Nox's reaction to the jibe.
"Yeah I'll tag along." Cain's eyes caught on the empty pizza box. "Oh! By the way, your friend Phaser popped in. Hacked the TV and chatted with me."
