Characters: Rydia and Kain
Progress: Ongoing
Summary: As the others part ways, they decide what to do next.
Location: Conde Petie to...we'll see.
Date: Jan. 1803 (slightly backdated)
Warnings: Kain's stubbornness, Rydia's nosiness?

As Vie had been delivered back to Mikoto and Delita sought his own route to wherever, Rydia peered at her remaining companion speculatively. She knew he was likely to just head his own way, brooding and ignoring all mention of the upcoming wedding, and some part of her almost let him. His earlier attitude had been off-putting, and he seemed unlikely to change it.

And yet, she wasn't quite willing to part ways right away. Even if he didn't think so, the Summoner felt as though they had to talk, about more than just whatever had prompted him into leaving earlier. Doing so in the dwarven village didn't appeal, though, and she doubted Kain felt differently, at least on that.

Resting her hands on her hips, she tilted her head at the dragoon. "Shall we be off, then? Unless you'd like to stay and get married...."

It was unfortunate that they lacked any familiar means of transport like one of those. Not that Kain would have expected to find them here, in this strange world... he'd long ago learned never to expect too much to go in his favor. He frowned and stayed quiet for a long while as he considered what she'd said.

"If answers might be found... I'll consider joining you." That and it would continue to provide excuses to avoid a certain happy couple in Troia. He couldn't face them just yet, especially considering how things had gone when he and Cecil had last seen one another.

That made Rydia smile. She would be pleased to have him as a traveling companion for a while longer. Just because she could and would travel alone didn't mean she preferred it. That he wasn't doing so for the pleasure of her company or some such didn't matter. As long as they had same general purpose, to learn, that would serve them well enough.

"Good. If there's passage to Lindblum from the Camp, then we might actually be able to get somewhere with this, soon...." She stifled a yawn, warning herself not to get too comfortable yet. "I can take the first watch." While she probably could sleep soon with little trouble, Rydia wondered if he would wake her, should she crash first. Knowing Kain, it was likely that he would pull off a 'I can stay up all night' attitude.

"We'll look into it, then." Having a set purpose would be good for Kain, who'd spent much of the time here attempting to... find some sort of Mount Ordeals, in a way. If he weren't going to accompany Rydia, he'd probably just end up disappearing in some remote location again. Not that he ruled that idea out completely. Should anything happen and he snapped as he'd nearly done with Cecil, he might have to anyway.

Kain glanced at her. "Are you certain you want to?" ...Though she probably was smart in thinking as she had, since Kain would indeed push himself to stay awake.

At that, Rydia forced back a yawn and nodded. "I'll be fine. The fire's helping and I could use some time to wind down anyway. So, go ahead and crash. I'll wake you when it's time." Since unlike some others, she knew better than to attempt remaining awake all night.

Kain narrowed his eyes and watched her suspiciously for a moment. After all, he felt he'd be capable of staying up for a long time and he was stubborn enough to try. He had to consider for a long while before he finally relented.

"...Very well."

Though he took a few moments before he finally did settle in to try falling asleep.
