Sometimes when Cade fights, he's in a rage or just letting go of his mind entirely, a brainless human-sized golem made for fighting. There's no relish in it, no passion, very little expression or emotion at all. But tonight there is, even if it's just animalistic fear. Despite the pain and desperation and the suddenness of the situation, there is a cognizance in his eyes, and he seems as afraid of his own actions as anything Merrick would do.
He'll be executed. Or worse, jailed forever, forced to live with what he's made his life.
It's because of this that he is just barely able to hold himself back, and though he does his best to pin the elf, he's too aware of himself to hold him very well. With a knee pressed in just under Merrick's ribcage and the good hand on his chest, Cade looks imploringly at the door, hoping nobody walks through it to find them.
