Kai cursed mentally, several times, things were going down the drain faster than he had even imagined possible "I'm Kai Cole... The son of... Devlin Cole, mayor of Stapleton..." he introduced himself as politely as possible, but it was obvious he did not enjoy being related to his father in anyway, with all the pauses in his explanation of who he was to this stranger.
Kai cleared his throat lightly and looked down at his sneakers "I think you should care because... This town is dangerous to all newcomers. Whether they are 'one of us' or not - My father does not tolerate new citizens very well... Hence the formal invitation to dinner. He wants to see if you can be of use to him or if you are worthless to him. Your scent alone proves that you would be very worthwhile to him but it would not last long... He would use you, abuse you, and throw you away with the next days garbage once he's gotten what he's needed out of you..." Kai looked seriously ashamed with his father's actions, his voice was quiet as he explained as well - whether it was fear of the older man overhearing or just because he hated what has been going on for so long.
"I can protect you... If you are interested in me doing so. If you..." he shrugged slightly and looked up at the stranger with sad eyes "If you need it, all you have to do is let me know - I will stand up to my father, for you." it was an offer he had never given a single person before, and the honesty in his eyes and on his face was written for the stranger to see it - all that he had said was very true, and he was worried that something bad would come for this stranger if the protection was not taken.
