Caesar was glad that he at least owned his condo, otherwise he would have likely violated his lease with that explosion. It has been one of the reasons why he had bought instead of rented in the first place. Things like this just sort of Happened in his life.
It was better to own than rent if you were Caesar Salazar. (Or Rex Salazar for that matter.) Which is why it's more frustration than anger, because people always seem to be breaking his things. But he also knows that Zaknafein is just trying to protect Drizzt. He knows the intensity of protecting someone, having felt that way to Rex when he was first reunited with him so many years ago....
The explosion is big enough to break a hole in the wall the portal was against, and Caesar can hear the splintering wood. He also feels Zak fall on top of him and Drizzt, an extra layer of protection against it.
Caesar opens his eyes when it is over, looking up at the elf above him. He gives a bit of a smile, but only for a moment, because then Drizzt groans weakly. The scientist turns back to look at him in worry. Zaknafein's likely injured, too.
Shit.
"Help me with him."
Caesar is doing his best to process everything at once, but it's too much. He'll have to check to make sure the place isn't burning down in a moment. First, he needs to stand in order to do that. That's the first step--having Zaknafein no longer crouching over him.
