It was funny, up until he starting losing sleep. Honestly, Edge hadn't cared one way or the other that those Baron knights were a little too into each other. The way he figured it, if they wanted to ignore a pretty lady, all the better for him. Honestly, he'd even been all for the two of them sharing a tent. It meant that he got one to himself. Of course, that was before the ninja prince found out that leaving two fully grown men who held abnormal affection for one another alone in the dead of night was the recipe for a raunchy vocal display and a range of unidentified other sounds. If Rydia and Rosa had been doing that, it would have been completely worth the lost sleep, but Edge was none too pleased with being kept up the entire night because some guy wanted to do embarrassing things with another guy. Hell, if it had been a guy and a girl it still wouldn't have been so bad.
To add insult to injury, the following morning he happened to witness the blonde knight stepping out of the tent sans armor, obviously intending to bathe in the nearby river, and the angle of the sun was just right to let Edge know that there was a definite inconsistency in the man's proportions. At least that explained simply why the smaller knight was so damn loud. The ninja immediately stopped thinking on the topic, though, because he did not want to admit that he had even a passing thought about another man's loins. On the bright side, at least, Edge knew he didn't have to compete with that for the interest of women. But he was tired and that damn dragoon had better not get randy like that again. They were traveling to save the world, not to find new places to christen during the night.
