Carden flushes further, vaguely pleased even though he can't honestly tell if he's being complimented or made fun of. He sets down the kitten that has been curled in his arms and nods, stepping forwards to follow.
"I have to admit, I'm interested to see the house. Felicity mentioned that she very much enjoyed living here and I'm curious why she would have said so. She never mentions anything without a reason." Azwel is already learning that Carden is all of the honest Felicity isn't. It's hard to know if that's natural or some kind of defense mechanism from childhood. Either way, he's very trusting, perfectly willing to follow a strange man around his house while the only thing connecting them is conspicuously absent.
Not that there's any reason to believe Azwel would do anything to him of course, simply that there's an inherent risk to being alone with powerful men in their houses, regardless of their temperament.
