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....

I either see Kain suddenly knocking on the door, or Mulder to make a crime scene of this...EITHER OR

[dragoon_pride]

[It's a little late for that, alas. Kain keeps trying to mouth out those secrets he's been trying to tell her- but it seems that the family fortune will remain hidden away... forever.]

[He does at least manage to lean up so he can kiss her. Because somehow there's always just enough strength for a final kiss.]

[There's pain in his expression, and gasping and silent moaning, but only enough to show just how much he's fighting. At least a couple times it looks like it could be the end, before he starts trying to talk yet again. But, finally, his grip completely loosens and his eyes close as he breathes out and... then very suddenly, just like that, he's dead.]

Have Kain freak her out...you know, even more. XD

[mistlegacy]

[...no. This can't be happening. Kain dies in battle, not because Luceti's suddenly decided to go nuts again and take him along for the ride. Rydia keeps repeating that to herself mentally, knowing she should get up and find Cecil, but...she can't bring herself to do it. Not yet. Instead, she stays beside him, numb.]

AHAHAHA IT SHALL HAPPEN. And yes, Kain spent all experiment doing this lmao

[dragoon_pride]

[Kain doesn't do much, obviously, just being quite dead and waiting for relatives to come squabble over his things...]

[But in the meantime there's sounds from outside. Zephyr's little roar is loud enough to be heard from out there, making sounds that she tends to when she's greeting Kain specifically...]

[mistlegacy]

[...what. Rydia's roused enough to go to the window, to check on the little dragon. She had to be mistaken, of course.]

[dragoon_pride]

[Perhaps, perhaps not... There's a distinctly Kain-shaped person approaching the house, anyway, heading right for the front door.]

[mistlegacy]

[Rydia stiffens, gripping the windowsill.]

...Kain?

[dragoon_pride]

[A confused Kain, who steps inside, walks over promptly to hug Rydia and then ask,]

What did I miss this past week?

[Because that's just what you ask after you die for a bit.]

[mistlegacy]

This past week? You just died a moment ago! You--what---

[So, so lost....]

[dragoon_pride]

Only a moment ago? What... But... it's always a week.

[This is so WEIRD. Kain has experienced death enough to know that anything shorter than a week is just... not how it works.]

[mistlegacy]

[Rydia just sags back down against the wall, too confused to have room for any other emotion, even relief.]

This doesn't make any sense....

[dragoon_pride]

[Kain looks just as uncertain about this.]

I don't understand, either... unless they've found some way to change that.
