[ Lockwood won't say it aloud, but Xenk sounds more and more twitter pated on the subject of Kirk. To the point that the older vampire can't help wondering who, exactly, is playing whom in this dance. Particularly if Kirk is, as Xenk seems convinced, a natural for Gold Court.
Having the ability, naturally, to be able to manipulate people without compelling their minds was powerful, and though Xenk was incredibly clever the man did have some blind spots. Finding and meeting this Kirk had just shot to the top of Lockwood's to do list.
In the immediate, Lockwood knew better than to try to warn Xenk off. That would be akin to sticking a neon "DO THIS NOW" sign on the subject. Lockwood knows this because he'd react just the same way to being told not to do something. ]
Starting to sound like he's caught a bit of a break. Having your attention and not the eye of someone in say Red Court, who would further ... ah ... exploit such aspects.
