It had been two days since she had last seen Cain, and the unfortunate events at Xapham's school. For the most part, Shiloh had just thrown herself into work. She wasn't sure what was going on, but it was driving her crazy. She wanted to talk to Adelaide about it all, but first.... she needed to check on Cain.
Stopping by the same coffee shop, she got two iced coffees, figuring she'd try something different, and headed towards the apartments. She couldn't remember which room was Cain's, and felt far too awkward asking anybody coming or going if they knew him. Instead, she simply stood outside the doors, hoping he might come out and see her.

“WELL MAYBE IF YOU WATCHED WHERE YOU WERE GOING, YOU WOULDN’T HAVE TRIPPED!”
Cain steps through the doors backwards, apparently already having words with someone inside. He spins around, almost walking into Shiloh before stopping.
“What’re you do- oh. Hey.”

Shiloh jumped slightly in surprise as she heard Cain's voice. She braced herself for an impact that never came, trying to make sure she didn't spill the coffees she brought.
Glancing up at him, she realized he didn't knock her over, and she began to slowly relax. Smiling, she held out one of the iced coffees.
"Hi, Cain," she said with a tilt of her head. "I was hoping to run into you. But not quite so literally." She chuckled at her own joke, her smile tentative but genuine.

Cain looks down, taking the coffee and giving Shiloh a slight smile in return.
"Thanks. Sorry about that. Some people need to watch where they're going."
There's no self-awareness of just how hypocritical he sounds.
"Why were you looking for me?"

"You were really upset the other day, at Xapham's. I'm not totally sure what happened or what you guys were talking about, but..."
Shiloh sighed softly, wrapping both hands around her cup and staring down at the straw, as if it might have some answers.
"I wanted to apologize."

Cain scowls, already having his mood sour from the memory.
But that wasn’t the problem at hand.
“Why’re you apologizing? You didn’t do anything wrong, he was the one being a turd.”

"Because I brought you there."
Shiloh seemed confused as to why he wouldn't be upset with her, her brows furrowed together.

“You were trying to help.”
He shrugs.
“It’s not like you told him to act like a shitter. Don’t worry about it.”

Shiloh nodded after a moment.
"Okay... Sure. I'm s--" She stopped herself, and chuckled. She wasn't even entirely certain what that apology was going to be for... apologizing? Taking up more of his time? She didn't know.
"What are you up to, then?" She asked instead.

Cain's eyebrows lift, as if almost daring her to apologize again, before he gives another small smile.
"I was heading out to train, actually. Doing it in my room means I've got nowhere to maneuver. Unless you've got a better idea."

"What kind of training? Like, God training?"
She tilted her head, full of innocence and naivety.

Cain laughs, shaking his head.
"No, no. Just training in general. I wouldn't even know how to train as a God, other than.... just using my God Right all the time."

"Oh... Well, if you want to go train, I won't stop you."
She smiled and nodded. She didn't want to keep him from what he wanted to do. That would be rude.

“It’s fine.”
He shrugs. Cain trains all the time, missing one session wouldn’t kill him.
“Tell me about this place. I don’t know anything about this world, really, and you’ve been here longer than me.”

She nodded, tapping her cheek thoughtfully. Then, suddenly, an idea came to her.
"Actually... You want to see something really cool? You can ask me all the questions you want on the way there, and I'll try to answer them, but... I think I can show you something you probably haven't ever seen before."
