Line 78:

** Note also that it ''does'' have the expected consequences; while Cain seems to genuinely love Amberley (and the feeling does seem mutual), he's also ''well'' aware that he can't exactly say no to her. Not that unusual in a relationship...except for the ''mortal combat against countless alien horrors'' bit.

** As Cain puts it in ''Duty Calls'':

{{quote| I'm sure most of the men in the galaxy are familiar with the sinking feeling that accompanies the words 'Do you think you could do me a little favour, darling?', but when the woman doing the asking is an Inquisitor it's even less wise than usual to say, 'No'.}}

** Actually, given the way 40K's universe is set up, Cain's reputation, and their jobs duties play out, this would actually subvert itself. Cain is the HERO OF THE IMPERIUM, and hooking up with an Inquisitor would not only bolster his image, but Amberly's as well, and given that Commisars and Inquistors tend to clamp down on the same thing (insubordination to the Imperium) and fight the same enemies, it would work. Also, considering that Cain is technically outside the Imperial Guard command structure, and Amberly has the ability to integrate herself into it at any time if it benefits her current assignment, most of the conflicts just seem to die on the vine. Hell, he almost got into a relationship with Regina Kasteen, which would make it unequal on her end, and it can be safely assumed this wouldn't be a major problem. Hell, even Kasteen/Broklaw, another possible ship, would work fairly well, given the above.

** For that matter, Grifen and Magot. Grifen is Magot's squad leader but they're still a couple.
