That earns something of a pleased look from Kain. Already been there and done that. The figurine forgotten, he glances over to Balthier and reaches for the dragon scale he's taken to carrying with him. He holds it up.

"I fought plenty of dragons back home... as a dragoon, they're my specialty. Though this scale comes from the high dragon I fought here, alongside a small group of warriors... I kept a claw as well." He smirks a little bit. "I suppose in that regard, I've already gotten all the dragon artifacts that I need. Though if I had another chance to face another, I'd definitely take it."

The challenge they pose is unreal, and being a dragoon, it's fully in his nature.
