Kael let out a sigh, supposing that he really shouldn’t be taking his temper out on Cameron. But it was hard not to be defensive when he knew just the scale of rumor-mongering happening all around him. Normally those sorts of things didn’t bother him, and at times he even welcomed it, but he was definitely more on edge than usual. Still, he offered the lifeguard a small grin and a wink. “Figured I’d try out a new look. Heard that submissives really liked the wounded puppy thing. Clearly must have worked if it got your attention.“ The lawyer chuckled, feeling his spirits rise ever so slightly.
He pondered whether or not to tell him the full truth of what happened that night, but opted to tell a slightly different version, if only because the original variant would spoil the mood. “It wasn’t anything related to the ballroom, if that’s what you’re wondering. I just had a bad run-in with one of my partners’ exes. Nothing out of the norm, really.“ Kael offered him a half-shrug, careful not to jostle the cast too much. “Statistically it was bound to happen, being the ‘other man’ and all. He just happened to have a few more screws loose than I expected.“ Not to mention that he was a trained killer that he had actively provoked, but he left those details out too.
“So I was out like a light for most of what happened during the party. What happened? Did you get a chance to see anything?“

Cameron can’t help but roll his eyes in a more playful manner mainly because he actually preferred it when dominants didn’t act like a wounded puppy. Though he guessed Kael was an exception considering he was able to get his attention. “Honestly, even if you weren’t wounded you would have caught my attention.” Cameron confesses. The man was attractive and it wasn’t like Cameron would be able to resist someone as attractive as Kael is.
When Kael starts to explain his story, Cameron raised an eyebrow. Did Kael really just say that he had a bad run in with his ex and it was nothing out of the norm? Cameron shakes his head as he looks at the other male. “You mean to tell me that your ex caused this? That’s horrible if it’s true.” Cameron said as he moves slightly closer to the other. He was definitely even more concerned about what exactly happened with his ex. “You dated someone who was a trained killer? That’s a bold move, but still it’s totally not cool what he did.”
“Not really. Considering the fire happened and ruined the event and had everyone running out, it was a hot mess.”
