Kain was- what else?- in the middle of a training session. He'd just finished beating up a couple mannequins in another area, so now he stepped out into the Planet's Core to see another challenge.

...Instead he found the bard, catching his statement at the moment he crossed into that place.

"...You don't?"

The startled bard almost fell right off the ledge, but Edward managed to keep his footing. "K-Kain?!" He nearly yelped in surprise. The last person he expected to see here today was Kain. The poor bard honestly didn't have much of a good rapport with the dragoon, but Edward was hoping this wouldn't hinder them now. He certainly does fear Kain to some degree, but he's hoping that his allegiance to Cecil will keep him safe.

"I...I guess you overheard." Edward looked a tad sheepish now. He honestly didn't wish for anyone to hear such somber thoughts. "No, I do not. For Anna's sake, I do not."

Lucky for Edward, Kain was in one of his saner, stable states of mind. For the moment. He could so easily make the bard a target for his cruel teasing but he decided against it. He just wasn't in the mood with the threat of constant war looming over them.

"...oh.... Right. I should have realized." Kain felt immediately awkward for not thinking of his reason for not wanting to leave. But it made sense. If there were someone like that for him, Kain would feel the same. "If it's any consolation, I doubt this will end anytime soon."

Edward's eyes widened somewhat at Kain's reply. "Why do you say that? Cosmos is ready to defeat Chaos, isn't she?" From what the other warriors have said, they claim that the Goddess was now seeking for a way to end this war against the God of Discord by using the might of the crystals. Those who've survived Cosmos in the past claimed that this was their coup de grâce, but Kain here seemed to believe otherwise.

"Is Chaos plotting for an upset, isn't he?" There was fear in Edward's gaze, fear for the Goddess of Harmony. "If he wins, we're doomed to the bleakness of the Void." Edward was so troubled now. If this war doesn't end, then they're trapped here for all eternity, but if it did...then Anna will vanish.

Kain shook his head. "There's no plot that I've heard of. I'm not well trusted by Chaos' most faithful, though..." He'd had that brand of a traitor after that one battle. The resident crazies wouldn't want to trust him after that, he was sure. "All I know is that... Chaos himself is attempting to strengthen us, but it feels that he's... desperate. I'd sooner see Cosmos claim the victory than he. I have a feeling that neither god will let us go so easily, though, even after this battle is done." He definitely could see that Edward's position was quite difficult, and while he'd never before sympathized much with the bard, he could to some extent now.
