It's been a while since Cade spoke to Mia, and he honestly hadn't expected to see her here. He immediately looks sheepish, curling his legs a little closer toward himself while he leans his back on a battlement. It's a quiet place to read, he has a blanket... he's fine, really!

He almost looks like he wants to lie, but he can't bring himself to disobey the Maker so egregiously. He nods, shrugs, and gives Mia an apologetic look. "Just for a while," he answers, as though that's a good excuse.
