[There's a view of the Empyreal Paradox area before the crystal is set down. Kain then jabs his spear into the ground, forcefully, picking it up with his other hand. Something about this place in particular sets him on edge, but he can't explain why. For now though, he actually has a purpose to this transmission. Something else has been bothering

A dragon....?

[She frowns in thought.]

I don't think I've seen one yet. But...where are you?

[bound_skyward]

[He looks at her a moment, but realizes that she's right. He at least has the ability to fight. All is not lost. Yet.]

Then... I'll fight it with everything I have. All my strength.

[heavenslament]

[That's what she needs to hear and Terra relaxes, enough to draw closer and hug him.]

Good....

[bound_skyward]

[Hugging her back.]

...It means a lot, that you believe in me.

[heavenslament]

[She adds a gentle squeeze.]

I won't stop, Kain. I may not remember much, but...I don't think that's something I could do.

[bound_skyward]

You're the only one I can count on. More than even myself...

[If Edge's words are to be believed. Which unfortunately for Kain all had an air of disturbing familiarity even if he himself does not directly remember.]

[heavenslament]

[That makes her cheeks flush. She's touched that he would have so much faith in her.]

I'll do my best to help, always.

[bound_skyward]

...I'm glad...

[Kain moves to gently hug her again.]

[heavenslament]

[Terra relaxes in his embrace.]

...would it help? To go somewhere else, I mean.

[bound_skyward]

Perhaps we should...

[But he'll return to this place alone, his mind is already made up.]

[heavenslament]

We can go wherever you want.

[Terra doesn't mind, as long as they can clear it of manikins and enjoy each other's company for a little while longer.]

[bound_skyward]

Very well... let's go.

[He takes another look around the place, the feeling still not vanishing, but decides to leave it be. For now.]
