Rosa was quite taken aback the first time she'd seen Kain naked. The dragoon was long and lean and angular, and his muscles were bulky but not overly so, and anyone normal would assume as she had that he'd be proportional everywhere. She was mistaken, though. Mistaken, and completely confused. Cecil's crimson blushes and mumbles about Kain being a dragon made a lot more sense to her now. But now she had more questions, questions such as where did he even keep that thing? How had she not noticed that when he was wearing his silks? For that matter, it couldn't possibly fit inside of his armor. Or maybe it could, and the loincloth was hiding a pretty impressive bulge. She'd never really put that much thought into the style of his armor. But... wasn't he wearing his father's armor? And if it fit... the Highwind clan was, ah, gifted, it seemed. Truly gifted, because Kain knew exactly how to use his spear and Rosa was quite certain that the courtesans would be terribly jealous if they ever found out about what they were missing.
