48th moon [Let's do the 4th wall agaaaiiiin!]

[There is alcohol. There are sandwiches. There are Clefairies. There is Cresselia. There is, of course, Cecil.

Has Mt. Moon ever been so inviting before?]

I knew buying those bottles was a good idea.

[Hell no it hasn't.]

[paladinlost]

I truly doubt the results would be pretty.

[dragoon_pride]

I hope never to see that happen, then.

[paladinlost]

I'll try not to show you if happens.

[dragoon_pride]

So glad to be spared that.

[paladinlost]

I have quite the merciful heart.

[dragoon_pride]

Indeed you do, more than most people.

[paladinlost]

Perhaps not, but merciful enough for that much.

[dragoon_pride]

You've shown me mercy when others surely would not have.

[paladinlost]

You rarely give the others the opportunity to show theirs. That's all.

[dragoon_pride]

I give them plenty of opportunity...

[paladinlost]

By leaving for Mount Ordeals before anyone could ask you to spend time with them?

[dragoon_pride]

[Kain turns and glances away, folding his arms.]

I had to.

[paladinlost]

Perhaps, but it's not helped your social life.

[dragoon_pride]

Do you think that's truly of any concern to me?

[paladinlost]

...Rosa and I are covered by the term 'social life', you realize.

[dragoon_pride]

Oh... right. Forgive me.

[Guilty face goes here.]

[paladinlost]

I'd like to think you care about that much, at least.

[dragoon_pride]

Of course I care about the two of you... That was why I left...

[Siiiiiigh, Kain-logic!]

[paladinlost]

...You might have to explain how that works.

[dragoon_pride]

I left so that there was no further risk of harming either of you. I sought to strengthen myself in the meantime...

[paladinlost]

...You only took physical harm into account, did you.

[dragoon_pride]

Did it not harm you mentally to see me turning against you?

[paladinlost]

Not nearly as much as your departure.

[dragoon_pride]

How can that be possible?

[paladinlost]

A few weeks, compared to a few years.
