Cecil knew that Edge didn't understand why he didn't question Kain, why he let the dragoon see his back so easily, but it was not something that could be simply explained. Growing up, the two of them had been together practically the entire cycle of the day, every day. Although he was adopted, the paladin was still a prince, and still had his own primary guard – Kain. Kain had always had Cecil's back, had always been there for him, and had always aided him however he most needed it. No, Cecil did not always understand the older man's actions, nor did he comprehend the blonde's motivations, but he knew that Kain was always looking out for him.
