Cain gave the vampire a curious look, it didn't stay long on the immortal's face but it was there to show that he had half expected a different answer from the elder Mikaelson. Their family's track record hadn't been the best.
"Okay then," he concluded, accepting the announcement at face value until the vampire proved unreliable otherwise. Finishing the rest of his bourbon, Cain made to pour himself another glass, helping himself rather rudely with disregard to his 'masters'. He was a man who didn't consider himself beholden to anyone except himself, Klaus' compulsion or not, and Elijah's equal if not superior despite his position in the household.
Taking the new drink, Cain sat himself at the guest chair and turned so he was facing Elijah. "Klaus had plenty of questions when he found me and I suppose you do too. I'll answer what you have now if you will answer some of my own later." A fair exchange, without the need for compulsion, or at least that was what Cain was offering.
"I'll admit, I like you, Elijah, or the concept and image you give. But I don't make friends. I have brief acquaintances. I don't have enemies either; there is very little point when you know you'll outlive them. So I haven't quite decided where you and your siblings fall in."
