Although she loved them both to bits, nothing smelled worse, in Rosa's opinion, than Kain and Cecil after they'd spent a full day out sparring and running and working up a horrendous sweat, made about a hundred times worse by the heat of the growing months. Although the both of them were charmingly happy after they'd been out and about, and a little red from exertion even as their stomachs rumbled loudly, she still made them bathe first. She couldn't even stand the thought of others eating when the stench of sweat and goodness knows what else permeated the air like wet chocobo. Of course, she half suspected that they fouled themselves up so much on purpose – or at least that Kain did, because Cecil always looked a bit disappointed that he couldn't just sit down and inhale every bit of food that had been prepared. She wasn't blind to the fact that they took longer than necessary to bathe, or the fact that Cecil always sat very gingerly when they next appeared while Kain made valiant attempts to suppress a grin that the white mage could see from a hundred meters away. It didn't bother her, knowing that they had just been intimate; they had at least bathed at some point, and that was all Rosa had wanted in the first place. Besides, the musky scents of sex were far more attractive than the messy filth that had radiated from them earlier.
