Kaden wasn't particularly thrilled with his outfit chosen by Lucien. It wasn't awful by any means compared to others but it wasn't what he was comfortable in. He also knew this was Lucien's way of showing off his slaves in matching outfits now that Vitaly had joined the suite. Again, he also recognized it could be far worse.
Still, he could use the distraction and seeing Merek on stage while he watched the shows at the bar helped. A surprise, sure, but a welcome one even as he tried not to think whether that was a personal choice or a voluntold situation for the pyromancer. He waited at the bar when Merek was done and sure enough the younger arrived for a drink.
"I had no idea you could sing so well," the kresnik said, grinning crookedly at Merek. "You look real fancy tonight, darlin'."
