Ever since his father forced him out of Vegas, this had been his only request. If he had to be on the East coast. If he had to go to this ridiculous school. Let him have the only thing worth asking for. Each time he was denied, because that bait needed to be kept. Kane wasn't stupid. Helena was the chess piece - the queen - his father was waiting to play. And it was completely successful. If he was a more sentimental person, it might have brought him to tears. As it was, he was just happy.
Kane took a step back so he could get a look at her, prim and proper as she was meant to be, and his distraction accounted for why it took him a moment or two to connect with what she said. "Room?" he echoed, and he smiled ear to ear, so wide it would start to hurt after too long. "I have to hand it to him, it is a genius move." Kane was never going to leave her side now. He couldn't even be upset. He swept up her bags easily. "What dorm? Sphinx?" That was his first instinct. Ambitious and cool headed, it suited her better than the Kitsune party house did.
