Sitting down at the desk that was dim-lit, Itachi’s assistance to Caim about the origins of the creature went unquestioning. His eyes glowed unusually with a faint red light; books by the desk and parchments scattered along the desk in a chaotic mess of musky scents. Compared to the unwanted reunion with a corpse of his family, this situation and Itachi’s being within the library had lifted the heavy weight from his chest and replaced that expression of tense wariness with one of calm undisturbed apathy, leaving him with a bitter aftertaste of disdain

It was Caim's turn to have his expression twitch, teetering between discontent and amusement at the suggestion. In truth, Itachi didn't owe him anything, not from debts of misbehavior by others or lack of participation in duties that should not have had to be his own in the first place. Further yet, Caim knew that, even through the eyes of his darker and more spiteful personality, Caim had done nothing for Itachi to warrant any debts owed

The feeling was mutual, in the sense that out of the company within the city that Itachi was unwillingly drawn into, Caim was the most favourable. Still, it was for Itachi’s own selfish reasons, Caim served as a reliable distraction from the other obligations that lingered at the back of Itachi’s mind (Sasuke: his younger brother who Itachi felt he needed to distance himself more from since the arrival of Madara.) -- and yet, just as much so, Caim was someone that Itachi could consider a respected acquaintance

Caim nodded. How long would it be now that Madara had pulled such a stunt that another would follow? It was a headache for the magisters, to say the least, and not one easily gotten rid of. Things would just have to be taken on as they came... wouldn't they? There really was no way to preempt such a thing.
Everything Itachi said, too, was important enough to listen to... unlike the company Caim was so normally used to. Dai hid his important speech in useless talk-- in lies--and Caim had found it quite difficult to maintain the patience for it like he could endure the silence. Perhaps that was yet another reason he didn't see it until it was far too late, that looking up to him and having been a friend was... well-
There was only a moment's pause as he watched the other get that much closer to the door when he finally stood before Caim abandoned his position to follow after.
