Summary: Kain is afraid of rejoining the rest of the world.
"What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be ruling in Baron with your wife?"
Kain doesn't mean the words to come out so harsh, doesn't mean for them to sting, but he's been on that damn mountain far too long, with the wind always stinging his cheeks and the little knowledge that he could've ruined everything stinging away in his heart. And Cecil won this peaceful world for everyone, no one else, and Kain thinks that he should be enjoying it.
Cecil doesn't say anything for a moment, but he sort of reaches for Kain and somehow they end up in a clumsy half-brotherly hug. Cecil pulls away, his hand on Kain's shoulder, and smiles at him. "Rosa thought I should come and see you, and she's taking care of Baron for me."
They talk, they catch up, and Kain finds out that soon Rosa and Cecil are going to have kids, and he finds the idea as funny as he finds it shocking, that Cecil has grown up and married and has a kid on the way and he's still on Mount Ordeals, trying to find something that probably isn't there. Life on the mountain is the same every day, until he almost swears that no time has passed, but away from the mountain time flows on and he can't fight it, he can only hide from it.
The talk is disrupted by a monster's attack and somehow they go from talking together to fighting together, and Cecil hasn't lost his touch, though maybe perhaps Kain is the stronger of the two now. Stronger with a blade in his hand, anyway, though he knows Cecil is strong in other ways and in those ways he just can't touch him.
"Come and visit us, soon," Cecil tells Kain, when they part, and it's the wind that makes Kain's eyes sting with tears, not the words or the sentiments. "We miss you."
"I will," he whispers, but as he watches Cecil walk away, he knows he's lying, because he's still not half the dragoon his father was and he's afraid to venture out into the current of time again.
