It seemed like they were both splendid boxes full of mixed signals with neither of them able to look under the hood of the other to see exactly where the green and red wires ended up mixing up with the blue and yellow-- because all the colors were there and rushing by so quickly that at least Elijah was losing his grasp before he could finish all his thoughts on the subject.
As soon as Elijah's mind finally wrapped itself over and around the fact that this man was the Biblical Cain, the immortal was sitting up and pulling away from the original's hands and the way he'd been running those hands up and down the sides of Cain's arms to push circulation into Cain's body. Suddenly, Elijah's hands felt empty and he felt like he needed to sew his mouth shut about all he was saying. It'd felt so very good to finally be able to confess all his thoughts and some of his emotions about that night-- but now that he knew what his brother had been doing...
Now that Elijah knew that Klaus had been compelling Cain all along, and that it would likely continue how could the vampire look himself in the eyes. Hell, how could he look the immortal in the eyes again, those perfect sky blue eyes and meet them knowing that Cain knew exactly what was in the original's mind, and his heart -- that it was more than a passing phase, that Elijah wanted so much more.
He sighed, and reached out one hand and rubbed the back of Cain's neck after he groaned, working at a knot there. Elijah figured that he didn't have to be cruel. He would never use Cain again, not like a servant. He couldn't, not with how he felt, or with what he knew. There was far too much at stake.
"I will have a talk to my brother about how he treats you. I don't like that he keeps you as 'his' as it is. I will see what I can do, but Klaus and his wolf, are still more powerful than I am because of his bite." It was obvious that it annoyed Elijah, because Elijah was smarter and more powerful in the long run, but that werewolf bite could render him sick for a very long time. It was why they always reached so far in a fight and then stopped.
"Take it easy now and from here. You may use my suite of rooms to get away or shower or whatever you need for today. I don't want you to have to deal with my brother." There was no way Elijah could handle going through the experience of seeing or finding Cain dead again. That had been far more traumatizing than he thought it would be.
