Caden followed after Addy silently. He'd have taken off the sunglasses to look less intimidating, but he thought holding a large, stuffed dragon underarm already achieved such an effect.
The man looked at Addy and Cade, debate clear on his face. He gave Addy a pained look and rubbed the back of his neck with a large hand. "Jeesh, kid, I'd really love to but if the boss catches on I'm out of a job." Despite the excuse, the man was still unsure and Cade, at least, could tell debating whether the chance was worth it or not.
Cade didn't step in to assist because this was something Addy needed to do herself. Beyond that, he wouldn't have been sufficient help in this situation. He could charm his way into places when he needed to, but Caden had never worked alongside a little girl to do so. The thought intrigued him, now that he thought about it. He was already coming up with ways it could work. Such was the mind of a spymaster.
Addy was excited she hadn't really used her powers this much before. It was sorted thrilling to do so, it was that thrill that made Addy hestitant to use them. She knew that always getting her way would warp her into something she wasn't sure she wanted to become. Even though she knew lust demons were anything but innocent full grown, she was still trying to hold on to a piece of that.
Still inwardly the darkersider of her was giving her horrible ideas. Stepping a bit closer to the guy, giving him a slight peak down her shirt she set to work. "I swear as soon as I get out I'll go new tickets and bring them back. Please?" She said a slight pur and sniff. The actually real tears ran slowly down her cheek. She wasn't an actress for nothing. She focused all her power on him, she would break him, she was sure of it.
The smaller part of her, told her if the guy lost his job she would feel bad. Only...she was to far gone to really care. She would just bribe the other guy not to fire him. Everyone had their prices.... Everyone caved in eventually.

If Cade realized Addy's inner struggle, he didn't show it. Truthfully, he wouldn't have cared. What did it matter if Addy got what she wanted? If she broke a few hearts and stepped on the throats of others to get where she wanted to go? That was just the world, as far as Cade was concerned.
The man rubbed the back of his neck, face beat red. He didn't look at Caden again, instead focusing his entire attention on Addy. "Just... don't tell anyone," he said before pulling the velvet rope open to let her and her companion through.
Once they were well inside, Cade laughed and clapped Addy's back gently. "Good job. Useful power. Hope you aren't feeling bad because of that. Even if he loses his job, he'll get another."
