48th moon [Let's do the 4th wall agaaaiiiin!]

[paladinlost]

[There is alcohol. There are sandwiches. There are Clefairies. There is Cresselia. There is, of course, Cecil.

Has Mt. Moon ever been so inviting before?]

I knew buying those bottles was a good idea.

[Hell no it hasn't.]

Where...

[He trails off, glancing around. Something about this is oddly familiar, in some way...]

...I suppose, while I'm here.

[He's been too busy training all day to eat, anyway.]

[paladinlost]

You might as well take the time.

[He has a feeling they might be there for a while.]

[dragoon-pride.livejournal.com]

[He looks toward the food and drink.]

I assume you know why we're here.

[paladinlost]

We're here because this world hates making sense.

[This explanation is obviously the best.]

[dragoon-pride.livejournal.com]

...I'm getting that impression.

[Ok, taking a sandwich after another moment of deliberation. And a drink.]

[paladinlost]

...Still, it's nice to have someone with whom to share it again.

[A sip.]

[dragoon-pride.livejournal.com]

There usually isn't?

[Mmm, this is good... he's really hungry, after that long day of training.]

[paladinlost]

Not since two months ago. Everyone else from home has left. Iwas the first to arrive, and now the last to stay.

[At least he has Bartz and kinda Lightning, Kuja and Tifa.]

[dragoon-pride.livejournal.com]

Only you remain? How unfortunate...

[He maybe feels somewhat guilty about this.]

[paladinlost]

It's not as bad as I feared. I have all the friends I've made here, and I have them.

[He pats the pokéballs in his pocket.]

[Kain raises an eyebrow and looks, but something is coming back to him vaguely from previous visits.]

Right... those Eidolons...

[paladinlost]

They've grown quite a lot. We can fly, now, as long and far as we wish.

[In fact, that happened right after last time.]

[dragoon-pride.livejournal.com]

'We'? You mean that... they're capable of carrying you as they fly?

[paladinlost]

Indeed. Kayne and Mist can last for hours. Tellah cannot do so for more than a few minutes, but with his size that was to be expected.

[dragoon-pride.livejournal.com]

That long...? I'm impressed.

[paladinlost]

We've trained a lot to achieve that. Yet every moment spent in the air makes that time worth it.

[dragoon-pride.livejournal.com]

I'm sure it would be. Perhaps they'll demonstrate later?

[paladinlost]

I doubt anything could make them happier.

[Except the chance to demonstrate Hyper Beam, but he keeps that part quiet.]

[dragoon-pride.livejournal.com]

It'll give me opportunity to see how they've grown, as well...

[After food. Because that's the priority right now.]

[paladinlost]

You'll be quite impressed. Even the ones Ive received from you and Rydia have reached very high levels.

[And drinks. Drinks are nice.]

[dragoon-pride.livejournal.com]

At least you've been able to care for them...

[He's drinking up plenty now!]

...Cecil... you said everyone has left. Does that include... Rosa?

[paladinlost]

[He takes a long drink before he answers.]

...Yes. Yes, it does.

[dragoon-pride.livejournal.com]

...I'm sorry...

[Sigh. He perhaps shouldn't have brought it up, and it doesn't even make him feel smug at all or anything of the sort. Having some more to eat, and then driiiink.]

[paladinlost]

It's alright. People disappear every week, here. I only... If the two of you had not disappeared within a week of each other, perhaps...

[That was a very lousy week.]

[dragoon-pride.livejournal.com]

...I'm sorry.

[Even though he doesn't at all remember being here, himself, and it sounds like it couldn't be helped.]
