Kain felt, on some level, a deepening respect for Cecil even as he fought the younger man in the name of another. The younger knight was indeed naive, but his loyalty ran deeper than the oceans and he absolutely would not raise his sword properly against the dragoon in anything other than defensive maneuvers. He believed in Kain, believed that his betrayal was more than met the eye, and that the older knight would forever be his closest companion. It took a lot to allow someone in so deeply, and Kain knew that. He also knew that Cecil would never be quite the same once he learned the truth, and it would be an event to witness when Cecil finally stopped trusting others so wholly.
