yoon's palace

I thought I told you to leave me alone.

Wh- why are you apologizing...!

[ Oh, no. Kaine might've figured this out by now, but Yoon is a massive crybaby, so he's already tearing up again when Kaine apologizes to him. When she gives him more credit than he thinks he deserves right now. ]

Y-you went looking for me...when you didn't have to. You know that – that alone means a lot, right?

[Oh, no.]

Oh, no.

[Oh, no. Maybe it's a good thing she waited until they were a little isolated...the assembled Yoon defense squad would have eaten her alive, and maybe she would have deserved it. Kainé does steal a quick, nervous glance to assess that, but other than that, her attention stays locked on him.]

Hey...there's no need to cry. Only if it makes you feel better...but don't cry about me. You went through a lot. [Is he all right with having his head patted? She hesitates for a moment, during which he can pull away if he doesn't want that.]

But...but I've only known you guys for a few weeks, and you still...you still wanted to help.

[ Thankfully, the Yoon defense squad has a member who would also be on the Kaine defense squad (him. it's him) so he wouldn't let anyone chew her out for this!! He is just an emotional little guy. ]

I hurt everyone in there, Kaine...but people forgave me anyway. Still, I'm glad you didn't get caught up in it.

So what? A few weeks is all the time it took to figure out what they needed to know about you.

[It was plenty of time to see him for the person he really was.

He really is a crybaby, isn't he? But if he had a place like this to go to, like the others this has already happened to, then he had to have been dealing with a lot, no matter how much energy he put into looking out for the others. She doesn't say anything about his heft display of emotions.

She pats him again, then moves her hand away slowly, more concerned with their conversation than with someone seeing.] Don't worry about me.
