Kai approached the group slowly, his eyes never leaving the figure cloaked in darkness.
The moment he drew near, the stranger stopped speaking. It was subtle, but Kai caught it - the uncertainty. Shadow clearly wasn't sure whether to continue with him around.
Kai didn't care.
He wasn't in the mood for awkwardness, nor did he give a damn about what the man thought of him.
He kept his posture relaxed but alert as he asked bluntly, "Who's this guy?"
Isaac, standing nearby, didn't hesitate to fill him in. Kai had been unconscious after going berserk in Nyx's lab when they last met Shadow, so it made sense he didn't know who he was.
'Second-in-command in their group. Coordinates operations. Mysterious. Handles missions, reports, and passes on messages from the boss,' Kai summarised mentally, eyes narrowing on the figure.
"Okay then, Shadow," Kai said, his voice even. "You can keep talking. Why're you here?"
