It was kind of amusing to Rosa to see her best friends thinking themselves so discrete as they disappeared into the west tower in the middle of the day as if no one would notice them missing. They were lucky she had a silver tongue she was willing to use for their benefit, or they'd both be getting lashings for doing things that only adults were supposed to do. And she knew that they were terribly misbehaving, because Cecil always walked a little funny when they miraculously reappeared and Kain strutted. She didn't need to know the details; she could guess well enough. It wasn't like they were hiding their actions well. Although it was intensely adorable when one day out of the blue Cecil came back all smiles and sunshine and Kain had a little limp. Honestly, they couldn't have been any more obvious had they stood upon the throne and shouted out loud.
