"No, I wasn't very...ah, popular in Baron during my last days there." Kain replied, forcibly injecting some cheerfulness into his tone. It had been no secret to the people of Baron who had been the right hand man of Golbez during his reign of terror, and that he had so quickly betrayed his closest friend. He was lucky if he was just ignored, walking the streets of Baron. At the mention of Cecil, his face fell. "Yes, well...I'm sure he does." He hadn't told his friend when he left. Cecil was probably still looking for him. The man forgave far too easily.
Kain's curiosity was piqued by her response, and he was eternally grateful for the change of subject. "Really? If you don't mind my asking, why would it be so hard to find someone who would love you as you are? There's nothing wrong with you." He almost added "Sure, you may be a little quick tempered, but some men like that.", but thought better of it. His impulse control wasn't that shot.
