[soulsflight]

(She is his wake-up call; his violent alarm. She will strike him like her namesake if she must, but she really doesn't have the drive to hurt him anymore. He's family and she isn't going to allow family to give into depression and grief - even if it has been hundreds of years.

Her touch doesn't waver and she meets his gaze without fear. Maybe she should be fearful. She isn't a magical powerhouse anymore. She's just, as she said, herself.)

That's this talking. (Her grip tightens on the arm and she breathes in deeply, steadying herself.) I don't want to hear from it or anyone else. If Serah showed up right now, you wouldn't be prepared to marry her. A lot has happened, but so what? Have your feelings changed?

Do I need to tell her that you're calling it off? (Her other hand lifts and brushes against his face.) You will be with her. With us.

[A part of him wishes she'd go away again. Serah's never far from his thoughts, ever, even after all this time. And her sister is nothing but a shadow of the woman he has loved his entire life.

And she's right. He hates it when she's right. She's insufferable.]

Of course my feelings haven't changed! They're the only thing that's stayed the same.

[The only thing that's kept him going.

But he flinches at the hand on his fave and takes a step back from this woman turning his life upside down. Yet again.]

But that doesn't matter, does it? What's left for her now?

[soulsflight]

(Too bad. She is insufferable and she refuses to leave him in his misery. Serah wouldn't forgive her if she did that.)

Everything. (A simple, but oh so complex answer. What is everything? He cannot possibly imagine. Normalcy. Family.)

I won't allow you to give up or become a Cie'th. (She crosses her arms over her chest.) Say all you want, but I'm not abandoning you.

[heroofcocoon]

[He sneers at her easy answer and balls his hands up into fists. He wants to hit her, hit something, rage and take out his anger and pain on someone, anyone, anything. But he's never been that sort of man. Ever. So he just looks down at her and tries to regain his own composure.]

Let's get this over with. I've got somewhere else to be.

[Anywhere but here. It hurts too damn much.]

What'd you need a bodyguard for in the first place?

[The fact that she needs someone to help her is a surprise, considering she's one of the toughest people he's ever met, period.]

[soulsflight]

(A hit from him would hurt; maybe even knock her out! Yet this is a calculated risk. She will take it and, once conscious, give back as good as she got, he can rely on that.)

Who are you to give me a deadline? (The nerve. She isn't the type to pull a bandage off quick. He'll feel every bit of it so, when peace finally comes, he will relish it.)

If I visit an alien planet, I might need some backup. (Tough, yes, but human. She smiles faintly, infuriatingly.)
