Cecil and Kain are shoved out of the throne room and into the hallway.
Kain: Once we have completed the mission, the king is bound to forgive us both. We will rejoin the Red Wings in no time.
Cecil: ...
Kain: Get some rest. Leave tomorrow's preparations to me.
Kain walks off, and the player is finally given a chance to play the game. But you can follow him, since he's just hanging out in the next chamber over with a few soldiers.
Cecil: ...I'm sorry to have dragged you into this.
Kain: My actions are my own.
heh heh
Cecil: I mastered the dark sword at His Majesty's orders. But it was to protect Baron, not to plunder.
Kain: Surely, the king has his reasons.
Cecil: I envy you, Kain. I envy the path you chose.
Kain: I suppose I could have attained a higher rank, had I become a dark knight. My father, who passed away when I was still young, was a dragoon. I felt that I could keep some sort of connection with him if I became a dragoon as well.
Cecil: ...
Dude, gross. Kain's standing there talking about his dad (who is
totally Ricard from Final Fantasy II you guys I swear) and you're trying to pass one silently enough that he doesn't notice.
Kain: I didn't mean to bore you with my stories. Anyway, I don't need your concern. The only thing you should be worried about is slaying creatures tomorrow. I don't want to be the only one doing his part.
Cecil: Oh, I will. I'll slay twice as many as you!
Kain: That's more like it. We should get some rest. We rise early tomorrow.
Other nameless mooks have things to say, too, of course:
Royal Guard: It's best to suppress any disloyal thoughts if you wish to survive these times.
Royal Guard: I've heard rather disturbing rumors regarding the king lately.
Dragoon: With you and our master Kain joining forces, nothing will be able to stop you.
Dragoon: Mist Valley is northwest of Baron.
Soldier: Whateer others may say, I trust the king.
