[Vague apology is going to be vague, but that's how Kain does these things. He'll leave it public partially as an act of penance, partially because he's still readjusting to these devices and their filters. He isn't even sure that all of these people are here- he's been gone from Gaia for only a couple weeks, but to him it feels much, much longer. Don't worry Zidane, when he realizes you're not here, he'll bother you when you arrive.]

Cecil. Squall. Onion Knight. Bartz. Firion. Zidane. I apologize to all of you, especially.

I should also extend that apology to the other warriors of Cosmos as well.

I'm... sorry.

[He's still recovering, but he can't finish this without offering:]

...and if anyone has need for another fighter, I can be there at once.

[The feeling's mutual buddy.]

You didn't controlled again and try to kidnap Rosa again, did you?

[voice]

[dragoon-rising.livejournal.com]

No, nothing like that... I was in my right mind this time.

[...but even while in his right mind he makes backstabby plans of backstabbing.]

[arrogant-flirt.livejournal.com]

[Which is why Edge is still wary of trusting you.]

In your right mind? What kind of trouble are you in this time?

[voice]

[dragoon-rising.livejournal.com]

There was... something I had to do, for the greater good in the long run, but... it may not have seemed that way, in the short term.

What? You didn't kidnap Rydia this time did you?

[voice]

[dragoon-rising.livejournal.com]

No... it doesn't involve Rydia at all.

[But it does, sort of, involve kidnapping.]

[voice]

[arrogant-flirt.livejournal.com]

[Now that that's been established.]

Then what else can it be?

[voice]

[dragoon-rising.livejournal.com]

Betrayal again. It was for a good reason, but... still betrayal. I realize that.

[voice]

[arrogant-flirt.livejournal.com]

[Has there been anything but betrayal for him?]

Again?

[voice]

[dragoon-rising.livejournal.com]

[Kain sighs.] I know. You may not believe that it was for a strategic reason this time... but it was.

[arrogant-flirt.livejournal.com]

[What are we going to do with you?]

Kain. You really are going to go too far one of these days.

[voice]

[dragoon-rising.livejournal.com]

...And if I'm not in my right mind when it happens, you still have every right to stop me.

[voice]

[arrogant-flirt.livejournal.com]

[As a friend only.]

I'll clean it up.

[voice]

[dragoon-rising.livejournal.com]

Good... I'll count on you, Edge, if such a need ever arises.
