By the third quake, it was almost impossible to proceed without informing everyone else not to panic.
It wasn't really a natural disaster. It was the collective grief of the Kyros family shaking the space like a mini-apocalypse.
One that Xavier didn't stay to witness. Not because he didn't want to get hurt again, but because the family deserved privacy so they could properly process Luca's past.
Also, he felt like the Duke and Duchess wouldn't be able to focus if he continued to stay in the room.
Being vulnerable was never easy. He figured if their roles were reversed, and someone was sitting in on his deepest breakdown, he would have thrown them out, too.
So he excused himself and promised to stay outside in case they needed anything.
For now, his job was damage control.
So the waiting prince had to inform Kyle that there was no real need to panic. And at best, to make sure the animals and the beasts were kept secure until everything settled down.
