[THE WHOLE BARGE]
[Cain patrols, half out of anxious habit and half because he enjoys the routine. But it puts him in the halls, the Warden-only areas, the deck, the library, the art room. Feel free to chat; he has no idea he's under the influence of the Barge.]
[THE GYM]
[But he spends most of his time here, practicing and training, and lately taking on new students. This is where you're most likely to find him.]

Anything else I should know, before I start watching this guy?

Damn good thing my kid taught me to be honest. Puts a damper on a hell of a lot of plans, though.

Date: 2014-05-06 04:00 am (UTC)[He's sensing maybe he's found a sore subject, so he'll let it go. He doesn't need to know.]
He's guarded, which shouldn't be a surprise to you, but he's got a nasty temper if you provoke him in the right way. I'm pretty good at getting him going. I tell you, nothing pisses him off faster than when things go spinning out of his carefully calculated control.
Then again, the man's got contingencies for his contingencies. So, catching him by surprise like that isn't easy to do.

If you've got a knack for pissing him off, that's as good as surprise. People who like to pull the strings lose control once they lose their temper.

He turned hounding me into a sport, least I could so was return the favor.
