WHO: Merrick, Cade, and the people who arrive to clean up the remains
WHAT: Merrick has a score to settle. All over Cade's face.
WHEN: the night of the soiree
WHERE: Cade's room
NOTES: Warning for ... I mean it's probably gonna be mostly violence.

It's been an hour or so since Cade first arrived back in his cell-like room and slammed the door behind him, then proceeded to drop to the floor and hyperventilate for a while. Hadrian, the Tranquil currently keeping watch, predictably didn't care, and let him work it out for himself.
Exhausted by his entire life, Cade settled down for the night, and rather than try to sleep with his thoughts spinning as they are, he has taken to using the light from Hadrian's candle to read a book of his own.

With or without Nerva's request, Alayre approaches to Cade. He already could hear the fear and defiance in the young man's voice but Alayre hopes to stifle it with assurance. "Don't worry." He begins. "I'm just taking you to a healer--" The Templar trails off as Merrick's screams echo throughout the halls. That elf always been a tad feral at best but right now Merrick is nothing more than a wild beast. This isn't the first time he witnessed Merrick lose his sanity. His memory stray to the days he spent in Hallows Mire.

"He is truly beside himself." Alayre mutters before reaching for Cade. He held out his hand towards him in hopes of coaxing Cade to come with him rather than outright grab him. "Nothing is going to happen to you. I swear it. We just...need to get you healed up before you wounds get any worse." He's desperately trying to be diplomatic here without just yanking Cade up on his feet and marching him out of here.

As frightened and anxious as a wounded animal, Cade is nonetheless reassured somewhat by Alayre's voice. He can't see him very well, but clasps his wrist with his left hand and begins to stumble to his feet with considerable difficulty. He's clearly favoring his right arm, which hangs unnaturally at his side.
He looks like a dragon stepped on him.
