Why this must be read: An excellent Cain-centric story, set post-miniseries. Cain's voice is perfect, the dynamic and dialogue between Cain and DG is spot-on, and most of all it's such a good fleshing-out of his character and history, including his relationship with Adora. There seriously aren't enough words for how much I like this story.
He doesn’t know how he’s gotten so good at recognizing her, but somehow he knows her footsteps, the quiet rustles she makes as she tried to sneak into the clearing. She thinks she’s doing it well, doesn’t notice the half smile he can’t quite bite away. She’s almost on top of him, teeth biting into her lower lip as she concentrates on each quiet, precise movement and she’s smiling openly as she reaches toward him –
“You might want to think twice about that, kid,” he says, and it’s a little funny to watch her start with surprise, eyes flying guiltily to him.
“You’re awake,” she says, and he can hear the rush of alarm beneath the flatness of her voice. “I thought –”
“I know what you thought,” and even as he tries to sound stern, he fails, and to his own ears he sounds almost amused. “Serves you right for trying to sneak up on a man when he’s sleeping.”
“You never sleep,” she grumbles, dropping down to sit easily next to him.
