[Indeed. She is blunt, honest and chases what she wants. She may have some problems at reading others but that doesn't seem to matter, not now and not with Kain.]

Good. [It's her comment as she places both hands on her hips. A bit of initial awwardness was worth it if he is truly going to abandon that silly helmet of his at least around her. ] And of course I know who I am talking about, Kain. [And now in her eyes he's just... perfect. Perhaps others may not agree and his kindkness isn't exactly that easy to spot but Rydia can see it all. Her heartbeat grows faster as he compliments her and her cheeks turn red for a moment before she can regain control] Don't be silly, my dear. I recognize our first meetings have been... catastrophic. [And she keeps for herself how she blamed him and Golbez for all the things that got wrong for a large part of her childhood in the Feymarch] But we've been a team, all of us, and Cecil always spoke so highly of you... it was only natural for me giving you a chance. And I am certainly glad I did, you've proven yourself to be a wonderful partner in battle and... well, pleasant company when we can rest? You should give yourself more credit.

Kain, I should warn you that I can be really stubborn at times and if you talk like that you really make me want to say I'm not going to leave, ever.[A small chuckle follows as she leans in his direction to wrap her fingers around a lock of his beautiful hair and he tries to pull him down for a kiss. Shy? Rydia? She's apparently already over the initial phase of awkwardness.]
