Casildo grinned widely, clearly amused by his new companion's concern. "Wow, I'm touched by your care, Failed Product," he teased.

"What happened to him?" he cried out, rushing to his friend's side. "What's wrong?" he asked anxiously upon noticing the pale face of the young man beneath the half-silver mask.

Casildo rolled his eyes and waved dismissively. "Relax. He's not dead yet," he said casually, earning a sharp glare from Kairav's hazel eyes.
