"I know," Cade concedes, lowering his head somewhat, clearly ashamed to have to be told this. In truth, Cyril is the one person thus far who has actually received any information freely given; previously, there was the Fade incident, and a meltdown to Zevran predicated by feeling threatened. It seems strange and almost sterile now, and he's overly aware of Cyril's reaction, sees the narrowing of the elf's eyes. "I'm sorry," he says, and looks down at his feet. There's no way to make this better, not really.
Cyril nods at the apology. "Accepted. I honestly shouldn't have responded as strongly as I should either. There will be all sort of people who have opinions about my choices, and reacting such a way to them is just a way to make the whole situation even worse." A pause. "I guess that means that I'm sorry too."
Cade is surprised to receive the apology in turn, and glances briefly at Cyril, just long enough to see that he's serious. Then Cade nods, pursing his lips. "It's all right," he replies, then lapses into silence, his frequent approach to situations that are awkward.
Cade seems surprised by the question, but his confusion quickly becomes a small, sheepish smile. "...yes," he says, "but I, um. Messed it up again." So he can do it more than once, of course. He assumes that's the point.
