Kain never thought he'd see the day that Cecil would not blush at the mere mention of something lewd. The blonde was fairly certain that he was right in that respect, because the paladin was flushed a very becoming pink just then, but the fact of the matter was that Cecil had grabbed the dragoon's groin and looked him straight in the eye before telling him in no uncertain terms that he should make himself useful for a while. While Kain wasn't in uniform just then – not even in his armor – even if he had been on duty, patrolling could very well wait. No man in his right mind would say no to that, and Kain grinned broadly as the younger man led him out of the rather public forum by the hand still holding him by the loins.
