[Yet he's consumed by this very cowardly instinct to run, not to stand and fight like a man ought to. It's very frustrating to him, feeling like he's not quite himself somehow… it wouldn't be a first for that, in a general sense, but he's never felt like this before.]
[It pains him deeply when she mentions how disgusted she'd felt. Kain had been a bit confused about his own feelings soon after it had ended, but it wasn't a bad thing. In fact, he'd… rather liked how it had felt, caring about someone and finally having those feelings returned. So now, though, she's giving him the ultimate rejection. Yet again, he's unworthy. No woman will ever have him, will they? He's such a failure.]
Is that how you truly feel about it?! Was there nothing positive at all?
[No, why should she care for the man who slayed her mother's dragon and burned her village to the ground? Kain struggles to get up, not to fight, but to flee. Unfortunately, she's striking him with a barrage of spells. Lightning sizzles and strikes him, fire flares at him and frigid ice makes him cry out when it also hits. He does his best to try and evade, but… he can only do so much. His endurance is pretty high, as he's physically very strong, but she's wearing him down fast. He needs to pull himself together. Kain groans as he pulls himself up from the ground, already starting to back up and start fleeing again. But he's much slower now.]
