[It takes a good five minutes of standing stunned in his room away from the fighting for Ceodore to even process what happened. Teleported away at the worst time. He could have stopped that monster. He knows it. There's an enraged bellow from him and he throws his sword across the room to vent, before dropping to his knees. He failed his friends. ( Read more... )

...Dead?

[Any relief Cecil feels at hearing from Ceodore is immediately swept aside by shock. They can't be dead.]

After everything we've overcome... to think now they would...

[He falls into dead silence. Cecil should have been there to protect them. He should have found a way to follow them when they left, regardless of the Malnosso saying he couldn't. He should have been there.]

[Ceodore was there and it happened anyway. He's convinced he's utterly useless now.]

I... I'm sorry.

[Cecil has remind himself there'll be time for guilt and grief later, otherwise it will overwhelm him. Right now, the most important thing is making sure his son at least makes it back in one piece.]

...What of you and your friends, Ceodore? Are any of you hurt?

No, I don't think. We were separated and... Kain took a blow meant for me.

I got sent back to the room before I could do anything.

[There's a soft sigh. For all Kain had said about his darkness, and what Ceodore had said about the dragoon detesting him, he was loyal until the end. Now he's dead. Forever- or so Cecil thinks.] He fell honourably. I'd expect no less of him.

[A slight tremor in his voice, but Cecil does a decent job of concealing it. Kain's a soldier. Fighting, even at the cost of his life, was what he was trained to do.

Rydia, on the other hand... Cecil is doing his best not to think of her. It's too painful.]

Is the fighting over yet?

I don't think so. I'm going back out.

...Then I won't keep you any longer.

Stay safe, Ceodore.
