Joscelin has not seen or spoken with Cesare for some time, and for a person ostensibly running for office that is more than passing strange. Cesare is a politician; he's running on his experience. His disappearance from the campaign trail does not suggest that he's a very good politician.
"Are you going to let me in?" he asks impatiently, through the door.
Cesare doesn't exactly know the answer to that yet. He likes Joscelin, perhaps trusts him a little even. Besides, he's a small child: how much damage could he really do? But threats are still threats, even in small packages.
"Is anyone with you?" he asks through the door, not yet willing to open it.
Cesare hesitates but eventually opens the door. Normally at this point he would turn his back on his guest, moving to grab the other person a drink, but instead Cesare remains facing Joscelin, looking at him before peering out for a second into the corridor.
"You can never be too careful," he explains as he closes the door, though that still doesn't really explain this
"Indeed," Joscelin agrees, though he does not miss the way Cesare is acting. The paranoia coming off of him is unmissable, and also quite out of character. What has spooked him so badly?
"I came to find you. One would think that a vampire angling for a position in government would be out campaigning among his people." Joss's tone is casual, but he speaks slowly, as if to a child or a frightened animal. "This race has two ancients in it and yet the only nominee I see doing any real campaigning is a mere boy."

Cesare is certainly not giving off his usual self-assured swagger. There is something very odd going on here.
