[If he really was the only survivor, and there wasn't much else than Gaav, then...]

[Kain's well aware that a huge part of what grounded him into something more sane was Cecil and Rosa; to not have something like that, particularly through something as bad as that, did explain far too much about Valgaav - and from what the kid has said, he was back to nothing.]

What? Were you expecting me to keep someone in my household in a place like this and not care about what happened to them?

[...Not that he was necessarily good at expressing anything like that.]

[chaosgeneral]

It's a sentiment that I don't often hear directed at me. That's all.

[And with that, his gaze is diverted. You're probably not going to get a straight answer out of him on that one, but the answer provided is probably more than enough.]

[dragonspride]

[Him as a teenager, but worse off. Yep.]

[He shifts his weight slightly, something that would've been resting his chin on a hand if the hand were still there to work with.]

...Do you have anything to go back to, in your world?

[chaosgeneral]

[Now there's a question he hadn't actually thought about.

Honestly, other than his plan to try to summon a dark god from another realm?

...Not really. Gilas told him that Gravos was dead. Gilas was always more Gravos' subordinate than directly under him.

Almayce had outright betrayed him..

...And there's that depressing realization that all he's really got waiting for him back home is an approval-seeking fox and a lot of enemies. More than here, in fact.]

..Not particularly.

[dragonspride]

[And that...is something where Kain goes quiet for a moment, eyes closed; if they're still alive, he knows Cecil and Rosa would not only accept an adoption like this but probably encourage it.]

[if.]

...If it's still there, then when this is over, you'd have a place back in Baron. [And he knows he's quoted his title around Valgaav before for that name to be familiar.] And if it isn't, then I'm going to be stranded here anyway myself.

2/2

[chaosgeneral]

You're on.

[dragonspride]

[And lo, Kain ended up with his teenager-wrangling showing itself seventeen years early, with an adoption, and a significantly harder case than an even-tempered, good-natured kid with some personal insecurity from being overshadowed by heroic parents.]

[And it was a massive relief after all the rest of that chaos, and after the rest of Kain's month, because seriously, his life has kind of sucked this month, even if he'd normally have found Victor and Jetstorm bickering vaguely amusing.]

If that's settled, then...

[And you know, Val isn't going to try to attack him again and all. Or give him an immediate reason to worry. He's pretty sure there's going to be others later.] Everything go alright?

[So his sacrifice mess was a bit of a shitshow, but you know, it worked, so...]

[chaosgeneral]

Fine. It went Fine.

[dragonspride]

[...Well, that's worth a small wince, since that kinda points towards "it went worse than floundering around aggravating injuries, fusing splints together, and having to explain what a virgin was to an ex-robot".]

...Well. At least it's over.

[Please let the ghosts not feel like being that angry next year. Or at least let more of the monsters be aware that you know, angry ghosts don't care about their opinions on the matter.]

[chaosgeneral]

Yes. Good riddance.

[dragonspride]

Here's hoping we have some time before the next disaster.

[Seriously, with his time here, he's not expecting any peace to last.]

I haven't seen the inside much in the last week or so, but there should still be food and all.

[He still prefers sleeping via statue-form, yes, and that + lack of mobility kind of has him exiled outside until he's more healed. Still, Val has his room, and as long as they're in Ryslig it's a home.]
