Kain never believed that his adventurous nature was reckless; he only had to point to Cid to get his reasoning across, because the mechanic – while a great man – was far more likely to do something dangerous than the blonde youth. Still, everyone assumed that he would one day get himself killed while following his wanderlust. They could believe what they wanted, because he knew what his limits were and just because someone else wouldn't be able to do something didn't mean that he automatically couldn't. There were a lot of things he could do because he was willing to take some risks. A man never got far in life if he refused to take the first step, when it came down to it, and Kain rather preferred to leap. He got further faster that way.
