Sen made his way straight from the Infirmary to Kain's office. He was exhausted and in need of a shower, but he needed to see Kain more. His foot still hurt, but not as much as it had. He knocked on the door and walked in, looking tired, drained and a lot older than he actually was.

"Kain? Are you around?"

"You and Sword just need to work out all the kinks. He walks all over you because you let him. He knows that even though you say enough, you'll always come crawling back to him and ask for forgiveness even if you're not the one at fault. It's time you let him know that he can't do that anymore. That you won't tolerate it. You need to stand up for yourself more often."

"I couldn't do that... If I stood up to him... then he'd stop loving me... He likes power, it's just the way he is - I'll never be his equal... to be his equal is to be his rival I think..."

He kept his head on Kain's lap, tears drying a little, before fresh ones flooded out. "Besides... I already told him he could have Ky if it was what he wanted... I just want to make him happy."

"At the expense of your happiness?" Kain shook his head. Well, i was obvious what he had to do. He stood up and made his way into his office. He opened a drawer of a filing cabinet and began searching.

"If that's what it takes." He wiped his eyes and followed Kain, leaning against the doorframe, watching him. "What're you doing?" He asked softly, throat sore from crying.

"Getting your file," He said as he leafed through the drawer, "I'm going to show it to the warden. In it is all kinds of evidence that your innocent." He paused, "Ah." He said as he pulled out a folder with Sen's name written on it.

"You can't do that! I'm not innocent!!" His eyes blazed with fear. "Nato... please... if... then... I'll have to have a retrial and I'll be sent away!!"

Kain nodded, "I know. I told you I would make the decision for you if had to." He looked at Sen with serious expression, "You either tell Sword all the things you just told me and make it clear that you won't stand for anything else. Or I give your file over to the warden. I will not stand by a keep watching him hurt you."

He swallowed hard, worrying his bottom lip between his teeth. "Please Kain... don't do this! I can't stand up to him, I can handle things the way they are... I can... I just... It'll be fine now... I know it will!"

"Who are you trying to convince Sen? Me or yourself?" He asked with a raised eye brow.

Sen frowned, kicking the door frame lightly. "If I push too hard, then I'll lose him. It's his way or the highway..."

"You have a right to be happy Sen," Kain said and after a moment made his way to the door, file in hand.

Sen moved, following Kain, grabbing at his wrist. "I am happy... Just being with him makes me happy. I'm just being selfish wanting more than I deserve... that's all!" He tugged the man's wrists. "Please Nato, don't do this?"

"Sen," Kain said in a stern voice, raising it a bit. He had spoken to Sen that way before, "What do I have to do to make you see that you are not being selfish and that you deserve what you want?" He was even more angry at Sen now, then he had been when Sen lied to him. "You need to stand up to him or I will make so he can't hurt you anymore. Those are your choices."

He sighed and looked away. "Fine... I'll try." He leaned against the wall. "But... Do you think by sending me away I'd simply stop loving him? I'd just be empty inside without him."

"I never said you'd stop loving him. And you'd survive." Kain said, walking away from the door and sitting at his desk. He put the folder away in a desk drawer.

Sen frowned a little, looking over at Kain. "... I'm afraid of him. Of Sword, I mean. I'm also afraid that he'll pick Ky."

Kain looked at Sen with gentle eyes, "He won't." He said simply.
