Thanks so much!!! I have ALL THE THOUGHTS about this aspect of the triangle--- Rosa jumped off the screen at me from her first appearance as someone who is fairly practical and no-nonsense (just the way she takes Cecil to task for his brooding--- and given that Kain broods like it was an Olympic sport that's also a factor in her choices, lol), and then the way she takes Kain's part after he was possessed by Golbez does not have the feel of Just Friends to me.... Hence this little bit of running headcanon.

AND OH MY GOD YOU QUOTED SAVATAGE AT ME!!!!!!!!! I also have ALL THE 'TAGE LOVE. *squeakssqueakssqueaks*
