Okay, that was completely unexpected. Rydia looks at Kain pretending to have control on himself, she sees his eyes brim with tears and suddenly the man, the stoic and silent dragoon is crying. Enough to forget about her own worries for now, he clearly needs all the possible support.
"Oh, hush you..." She pulls him closer, leaning his head against her neck like Asura used to do when she was a kid (something about feeling calmer with the sound of heartbeats, the summoner never asked for too many explanations) and passing her fingers between his hair "I wasn't here for the whole time but- you're still alive, we're still fighting, there's no failure here. Mistakes? They happen. Moments of weakness too, but you can't say you failed as long as we're alive, right?" Someone is missing the point, here "but it's okay, Kain, just let your sadness wash away and when you'll feel better we'll discuss how no one failed here."
In the meanwhile she's going to treat him like a scared puppy and give him all the physical affection humans seems to dislike so much unless they're with very specific people: Rydia pets his head, scratches his back, wraps one arm around his waist... acting like a Feymarchian is pretty much her only choice here, the only time she cried because Edge was an idiot they still had to rush forward to deal with enemies and troubles and... more experience with the matter? She couldn't exactly remember how her mother acted when she was a kid...
"There there, Kain-" The scratches under the chin are probably completely out of place but the woman seems to think otherwise "-there there..."
