Kalen does not try to stop Ian. Ian gets to leave without anything more than Kalen looking over him for signs of some worse injury while he moves. Sid is the one of them that tries to stop Ian, because Kalen already knows better. Particularly right now.
It isn't until Sid tells him to check the house that he even makes any attempt to engage with either of them. And it is direct and it is quiet and it is despite that quiet not gentle. "Perhaps if you want people to work together instead of scattering, you might try working with them." If they were friends...you do not flay open your friends at points they've exposed to you. You protect them. But Sid made it clear that they weren't friends.
"If you'd mentioned your desire to go play with things that wanted to bite you, there are things I could have done for you. If you want to work with me, you'll have have to tell me things for reasons other than because you want me to follow your commands.
"If that was anything like what I was willing to do, I wouldn't have had to come to Denver. That kind of guidance failed the Order and it will fail you. You've made it clear enough we are not friends, so...." But here he does hesitate. Because until a few hours ago Sid was on the relatively short list of people he considered friends. Because he wanted something different. Something warmer. And even now he can't really bring himself make whatever last attack he might otherwise have made.
"I will go do what I came here to do. I suppose I'll see you if you come back."
