[1...and later 2?]

[mistlegacy]

[Rydia slipped away from bed early to visit the grocery store (feel free to have bawled about that, Kain), and thus missed some interesting times at the house. On her way back, she spots Kain and heads over, raising an eyebrow at the freshly changed sign.

....what.]

You're not my father, Kain. That's not remotely possible.

[Also, ew.]

[awesome works for me!]

[dragoon_pride]

[Kain's eyes are red from the crying- she left him. His own wife stepped out on him! Surely to see another man. He knows this has to be true, he sees the signs all over the place.]

I was just as appalled as you.

[He glances at the sign he's holding up, frowning a little.]

Actually that's not true.

[And with a completely serious expression...]

I'm technically your MOTHER.

[mistlegacy]

[Rydia just stares, not even able to form a coherent response for a moment.]

No. You're not.

...just what do those other cards say? Let me see.

[Even though she almost doesn't want to, but she'd better know what he's been flashing around town.]

[dragoon_pride]

But I am. I know it's a difficult revelation, but... I got the results. Truly, I am, or once was, a woman. Look at my nailpolish, Rydia.

[Because that is HARD PROOF AND EVIDENCE.]

[Reluctantly, he hands the cards over.]

You're the one who left ME, need I remind you.

[mistlegacy]

[Siiiiigh. Seriously?]

I left to get groceries! I couldn't even have been gone for more than half an hour, if that. And I think I'd know by now if you were a woman.

[She flips through the other flashcards, frowning, then stuffs them away in the grocery bag.]

No more of this nonsense. You're coming home with me. No more flashing these around to everyone.

[dragoon_pride]

Just tell me straight out if you want a divorce. I can handle it.

[Kain is not operating by the same logic as her, and he continues.]

I saw the hints, don't lie to me. You're seeing someone else!

[mistlegacy]

Yes, and his name is 'ice cream'.

[She shifts the grocery bag enough for him to see said ice cream within, among other things.]

This isn't you, Kain, and you know it...somewhere in there. Let me take you home, and we can wait this out.

[dragoon_pride]

What's his REAL name? It's Golbez, isn't it? You've been with him all along, haven't you? He never really left!

[If there were a soundtrack here, a dramatic note would be playing here!]

[mistlegacy]

...it really wouldn't matter what I say at this point, would it? You'd just make up something to be dramatic about.

[That's it, she's Warping them home.]

[dragoon_pride]

I know you've been seeing him in secret, why don't you admit to it?

[And get the divorce over. So that he can decide it's wrong and remarry her again anyway.]

[Yeah, he can't fight with Warp!]

[mistlegacy]

[And they're back in the house. Rydia turns and heads into the kitchen, deciding that even if Kain wants to argue, that's no excuse to let the ice cream melt.]

Kain, listen to yourself. You know that isn't anywhere close to the truth.

[dragoon_pride]

You're just saying that. I know the way you look at Golbez... You've seen him naked.

[IT'S TRUE! SHE HAS!]

[As for the ice cream, it's really suffering the most here. Its poor life is on the line, any moment it could become melty ice...soup. She needs to get that put away!]

[mistlegacy]

Because I was him at the time.

...can you help me put things away? Unless you're suddenly allergic to helping.

[dragoon_pride]

There's more to it than that... but, fine.

[Don't lie, Rydia! His penis is bigger!]

[Kain looks at her suspiciously, not sure about this at all. But he'll just keep his suspicions inside and brood over them for the moment. As he goes to start helping though, he swears that EVERYTHING she's bought are all of Golbez's favorite foods.]

[Or maybe... hm... some of these foods are awfully suspect. Ice cream, pickles, oh god...]

Are you pregnant? With Golbez's illegitimate love child?

[mistlegacy]

[For a moment, she almost doesn't dignify that with a response. But if she says nothing, he'll get even worse, won't he?]

No. Absolutely not. You should know better than that.

[She reaches over and gently shoves him.]

[dragoon_pride]

Still... I know something is amiss.

[He looks overly angsty at being shoved- even that lightly- as if it's some terribly big deal.]

[mistlegacy]

The only thing 'amiss' is you. Maybe you need a nap....

[...or a Sleep spell. Tempting.]

[dragoon_pride]

I feel perfectly fine, except my wife is having a secret affair and I've found out that I was a woman all along.

[A heavy heavy sigh.]

Oh, and I only have a short time left to live.

[Because there needs to be just one more awful thing thrown in there, of course.]

[mistlegacy]

...what?

[No, Rydia, don't encourage him. Yet, now she has some morbid curiosity.]

[dragoon_pride]

[You really don't want to encourage this. Kain sighs wearily, already looking pale and sickly. Except, of course, he still manages to look tragically handsome despite that.]

I was trying to keep it to myself, but by now it's too late anyway. Forgive me... I'll leave everything of mine to you. Even with the recent difficulties, I still would rather the money go to you and not the children. It's hidden in the

[Oh, my, his hand is suddenly too unsteady to write!]

[mistlegacy]

[This is pure nonsense. Yet, that unsteady hand has her concerned, despite herself.]

Kain, sit down. You're getting yourself too worked up about all this.

[dragoon_pride]

[Kain sits down and holds his head, as if the ache is far too unbearable. He's starting to become even weaker and agonized looking. Might be a good idea to lay down...]

F or give me

[mistlegacy]

Kain!

[This is nonsense, it can't be real...and yet, she casts Esuna and Cura.]

[dragoon_pride]

You must be strong for the children. Honor my last wishes. The hidden treasure, it's in the

[Nope, he can't finish writing. Kain groans silently, as he drops fully toward the floor, the healing magic not effecting him. He's very pale, lingering on the verge of death and panting heavily. Time seems to be moving all too slowly. This death scene has to stretch over the span of a weeks' worth of episodes, ok. :|]

[And just before it's about to happen, as he feels life leaving him, he gathers just enough strength to reach for and grab Rydia's hand.]

[mistlegacy]

[Rydia grips his hand tightly, annoyed and confused and mentally flailing for something to do to stop this. Whatever experiment the Malnosso are running now, she hates it already. Death isn't a joke, not when he's died on her so many times before.]

Kain...you know it's just an experiment. You can't die....
