There was some definite entertainment in the tone — and hidden in it was a tone that said Cain was clearly impressed. Although it wasn't the end-all, be-all of potential short swords, no one in the world could fault him for having a soft spot pertaining to anything that came out of his empire. He'd breathed life into that, and it had gone on to make a place in the world. No matter how stained that place was. He'd taken what he had gotten. Hell, just gladius didn't mean anything specific back in the day but now it generally referred to a certain type of blade and he could roll with that.
As long as this kid was willing to entertain him, he'd probably stay standing in the doorway. Not that he figured it would be for long because it really looked like the other needed to rest and get off his metaphorical feet. Still.
