Did Kain ever seem very sane at all, really? He semi-grins, unable to help it... he's always been so amused by people's reactions to his views on the scaly creatures. "They're better when they're larger, you can ride them then. I even cared for my father's dragon back home for a time... Of course, we had wild ones back home too, who were nothing but destructive. But there was once a time we dragoons rode our own dragons regularly..."

He looks approvingly at Zephyr, yes, she seems to be doing just fine adjusting to her new home. Kain's been unsure about having other people around her, so this is good too.
