[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.

Then if it means that much to you, I'll accept it.

[...Right, he always forgets that, to them it's like meeting for the first time...]

I'm Kain Highwind. I'm a dragoon of Cecil's world and home kingdom, Baron.

Yes, he's my father... How is it that you know him?

[Kain can figure they must be from the same world. He's just interested to hear about their connection.]

I'm glad to know of that. My father was- is- the greatest dragoon who ever lived. I had no idea that the two of you were comrades in the past... [Slight pause.]

It may seem confusing, but somehow he and I have arrived here from different worlds. Yet I know without a doubt it's truly him. Considering all of the connections between worlds... I can understand how it's possible.

This is true. I know I intend not to waste this second chance that my father and I have both been given here.

[And his father's presence, along with Zephyr's, is all the more reason for Kain not to ever willingly leave.]

...And I would like that, Firion. No matter what you remember, you still have my word that I'll aid you at any time there's need.
