Remembering to alert others to his coming and going is definitely not something Kain does very well. He'd never been good at it even for his closest friends. So it had definitely slipped his mind to seek out Rydia, especially with so much weighing him down. He's been trying to keep to himself as much as possible.

Bastard squawks, shouting repeatedly about Andraste's perky tits!... Kain rolls his eyes, but offers the bird some nuts to go with the drink. That ought to keep him occupied. He sighs, then, looking at Rydia, then down once more, unable to meet her eyes for a moment. Though there is something slightly different about her, he can't quite place it.

"...I'm fine. It's fine. It was just... a more difficult trip than I'd expected."
