'An infinite amount of patience' Kadaj considered adding to the list of things Even might need, but he didn't. Even was going to need it, and Kadaj was going to need his share, too, but Even had already nearly scolded him for being embarrassed about his failings.
"Then I'll get them as soon as I can," he said, softly, standing up out of Even's chair. It didn't make him feel any less subordinate to be stood up, not when Even towered over him. "And if you need anything else," he offered, and finished the offer with a slightly awkward shrug to indicate he'd do what he could, "let me know."
He looked up at Even, feeling awkward in a way he wasn't used to. He felt exposed, but he'd been naked in front of people and felt much less exposed than this. He'd told Even things that had been secret, and Even hadn't laughed, or mocked, or, as far as Kadaj could tell for now, made plans to use the information for his own ends. It was a weird feeling. "Thanks," he said, quietly.
