He had always been forceful in both word and deed, and both Rosa and Cecil admired him for it. Nothing could stop Kain from accomplishing what he set his mind to. So why he was currently lying on his back on a narrow bed with Rosa pressed tightly against his right side and Cecil mirroring her against his left was an absolute mystery. He had decided to leave Baron, to rid himself of his weaknesses, and that was all that there was to say in his mind. For most of his life, his younger friends had yielded to him, deferring to his judgment with at most halfhearted objections. Kain grew used to his authority amongst the three of them, and he had known that Cecil and Rosa would acquiesce to him this time just like any other. He hadn't counted on real resistance beyond a token opposition. He hadn't believed there would be anything more than Cecil's naive wish for him to return as soon as he could. He hadn't been prepared for Rosa to bar his path and kiss him. He certainly hadn't expected Cecil to then do the same. As stubborn as Kain knew he was, the two of them combined surpassed him in that. With his paladin and white mage encasing him between them, Kain supposed that he might have to give up, just this once.
