Cain didn't think it was a silly question, just perhaps a misinformed one that had the timelines a little mixed up. He didn't blame Elijah for not knowing though, there were many things that approached mythological proportions regarding his life. There were many things that were unbelievable if he hadn't lived through it himself.
It just occurred to him, perhaps on the same way it did Elijah, that Cain now has eternity to tell the hybrid all about it. To live out a new chapter with him, with a companion who would be there to whether the ages with him. It was an astounding realization.
Brought back to a distasteful grimace when Elijah had to mention that damn flood. "Can we not talk about the flood?" It happened alright. Didn't quite wipe everything out as the book said, but did enough damage and Cain had spent a month struggling to keep from constantly drowning. It was what gave him the first real fears of large bodies of water, and the discovery that his body would constantly die over and over even if he wasn't quite alive yet to die again. Up until then, he never experienced something that drastic.
He sighed away that memory and leaned into Elijah's loving caresses and touches. "I think I am the fortunate one. You had people, choices, and even family..." While Cain had nothing and had only been given memories that were false, but such a glimpse of happiness that even that small slice of it was enough to devastate him when he woke in the morning. People who didn't experience loneliness as he did wouldn't understand.
"I'm not sorry for that city. It didn't do anything to me that was new... Well. Not in the long run... Can't say I've been violated by monsters before, but it gave me you." Which was true in every sense of the word. Without that strange world, he would never have met Elijah, wouldn't have the possibility to, and never gave been brought together with him.
