When he'd stopped by and heard Cloud was at the inn, Shivan hadn't hesitated for a second. He'd immediately headed out without bothering to clean off the makeup that was no doubt running with his tears. The inn owner hadn't stopped him at all, just pointed the way to Cloud's room. It wasn't the first time Shivan had shown up like this and sadly, wouldn't be the last.
His eyes widened however as Cloud stepped out instead of offering to let him in, putting a hand on the blondes arm. "No- please don't go and fight them." Shivan pleaded softly. "It was one of the Don's men, I just-... I was just getting off work. I'm fine, Cloud, really."
He wasn't, but he didn't want Cloud to get into any trouble for him. Fighting with clients was already bad enough, and Cloud got into more fights than he did. He didn't want to find out what would happen if he ended up trying to fight one of Corneo's lackeys instead of some rich client. There was no doubt in his mind it would be a worse outcome.
"I was just hoping I could spend the night with you, instead of going back home. I missed the train thanks to everything- I have some money to cover half of your room, I promise I'm not just going to stay free with you." He added.
