Before Cairn could respond, the front Vira released him. At the same time, the Vira behind him transformed into a fucking chair, overwriting some of his outrage with disjointed incredulity as he found himself forced to take a seat.

"Of course..." muttered Cairn, prompting Elle to abruptly pinch his nipples, starling and deterring him from closing his eyes and sinking deeper into the water.

"How would you fix me...?" asked Cairn, looking down to meet Elle's gaze. In response, she stuck out her tongue before saying, "Not to sound rude, but it seems to me like you need someone you can depend on and who is dependent on you. I figured that could be Kaia, but if you didn't do it after being trapped in a Dungeon for nearly a month, I'm guessing your love for her is more familial than romantic."

"Hey..." said Kaia, tentatively grabbing the sides of Cairn's face, staring deeply into his eyes as she said, "You shouldn't feel guilty about having different values and beliefs. Just as you told me never to apologize for merely existing, you shouldn't beat yourself up because you're different from others, especially when you're not even from the same world. Just be yourself, Cairn. And if that doesn't make you happy...know that there are those, like myself, who will support you along any path you tread..."

Catching Kaia off guard, Cairn wore a troubled expression as he asked, "Do you think I'm a prude...?"

"Enough to last me the rest of the month..." replied Kaia, beginning to feel a little nervous. She knew Cairn didn't view her as a potential partner, but her brain would need to be replaced with a stone for her not to notice the growing tension between them. Weeks of fighting and living together with no one else to interact with had that effect...

"I doubt that has anything to do with her duty," contended Vira, crossing her arms as she advised, "You shouldn't make conclusions based on your biases. Bigotry is incredibly tasteless."

Reciprocating Cairn's embrace, Kaia felt a pressure building in her nose as she buried her face into the fabric of his chest. She had thought it several times before, but despite his flaws, Cairn was a very kind person...

(A/N: Thoughts? Elizabeth and her group will be a common fixture in the story, but should Cairn accept them as Expedition members? The more people he helps achieve their 'full potential,' the less work he'll have to do when shit invariably hits the fan xD...)

Unable to refute Kaia's words, Cairn slipped into a contemplative silence. She had said something similar about Zarah, Asim's genius sister, so it wasn't too surprising to hear her advocating for Elizabeth and her Party to become extended members of their own. Rather, with Yuuna's monstrous talent, he would be missing out on a powerful ally by refusing Elizabeth's offer outright...

Raising his left hand in a farewell gesture, Cairn attempted to leave but paused mid-turn when Elizabeth said, "Wait. A Karakut with the Blessing of Light and a wolfish man who looks like he hails from the Great Desert? Could you perhaps be the Champion and his companion...?"

"Well, if they attempt anything, I'll instill in them the fear of picking a fight with someone that can revive endlessly..." murmured Cairn, feeling a little 'desensitized' after his acid bath. He ordinarily tried to avoid trouble, but if trouble found him, his current mentality was something along the line of, 'I wish a bitch would...'

Snorting through his nose, Cairn carried the crystal to the nearby pool and thoroughly washed it and the red Experience Crystals. By the time he was finished, Vira was nowhere to be seen while Kaia had made her way over to his side, plopping down and leaning into him as she whispered, "If you stop reacting to her in such an exaggerated fashion, she won't feel as inclined to tease you..."

(A/N: Cairn may have flaws, but his grit would earn an approving nod from even Kim Gong-Ja(SSS-Class Suicide Hunter))

Bringing her hands together as if she were praying, Lagia closed her eyes and said words that sent a chill through Cairn's body, specifically, "In the name of our Venerable Father, Lord Techt, I shall now imprison and slowly devour you until the only thing remaining of your will is the desire for death..."

"So, Champion's Flagbearer?" asked Cairn, adopting a teasing smile as he added, "Guess that makes you my hype woman."
