44th Draw = Check ups! [Voice/Open action]

[selphie_t]

[Since Selphie had returned to normal, she'd been left feeling a bit odd. Events of the past two weeks were fresh in her mind and most of those events had left her feeling a tad on the bummed side. That was what it felt like to have a family to her. She hoped that it would continue even though they were all back to their normal sizes and ages once again. If she were to be honest with herself, lacking that family atmosphere has her feeling a bit lonely but she's not about to let that on to others. If Yao were still around, she'd go see him because he'd always said she could come over and talk to him.

It was nice to have a confidant who could make a mean cup of tea. It made her think about the friends that she'd lost since she'd come back to Luceti in the spring as she hoped that they were all well wherever they were.

For now though, she'll pull on her winter gear and take a walk in hopes that the fresh air would help her figure some things out. A friendly ear might be a nice thing to have though as she kicks up bits of snow into the air. She stares at her breath in the chilly air before moving forward.

Someone's in need of some advice and maybe a hug or two.

Eventually, she finds her way into the main plaza before she plops down on the side of the snow covered fountain and opens up her journal.]

So guys. We all like different times of the year. Some like myself, like Winter. Others might like a different season instead. So, what's your favourite time of the year?

And how's everybody doing?

5/5

Y-you do?

[Relief! Ocean waves of relief are rushing in and Ceodore lets out the breath he didn't realize he was holding. Good thing turning blue is a normal thing for him, eh? A smile starts inching it's way across his face.

And then the poor guy realizes he's got no idea what he should be doing now.]

5/5

[Selphie nods, genuinely speechless before she wraps her arms around Ceodore.]

[lunarianlegacy.livejournal.com]

[Closeness is excellent now. Ceodore takes a moment to brush off those very confusing tears, then pulls Selphie firmly against him. One tiny kiss on the top of her head followed by his mumbling into her hair:] Why were you crying?

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

Happy tears. There's a difference.

[lunarianlegacy.livejournal.com]

I like when you're happy. You're the best thing that's ever happened to me.

[And he's not sure what he did so right or so well to deserve her.]

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

[He didn't try to impress her? He wasn't a shameless flirt? He was... just himself.]

Same here. [She hugs him tightly.]

tagging on phone, expect typos

[lunarianlegacy.livejournal.com]

[He has huge concerns that something will happen to separate them, but given any choice Ceodore won't leave without her. Not now. He finds himself stroking her hair, content with the closeness.] You are family to me. Forever.

typos? what typos? :P

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

[Deal with each day at a time, Ceoderp. She's never had a family before and looks up at him happily.]

Thank you.

well hey I was sure there'd be some!

[lunarianlegacy.livejournal.com]

For what?

[Yeah, derpy boy has no idea what he did right.]

Are you sure you're not cold?

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

For everything and I'm not cold. [And she'll pout at you now, boyfriend.]

[lunarianlegacy.livejournal.com]

[Pouting is fine because that's an invitation to start snogging. At least, it's hard NOT to when she looks adorable like that.]

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

[Can they at least snog indoors?]

We should head back soon.

[lunarianlegacy.livejournal.com]

[That's why he's asking if she's cold.]

Alright.

Hey, Selphie? What's it like where you grew up?

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

[Boys.]

Where I grew up? Oh, it wasn't anything special.

[lunarianlegacy.livejournal.com]

Yes it was. You were there.

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

Home's... nothing like Luceti. We live in Garden which is where I trained to become a SeeD and there was a lot of war but we got through it. [What's her world like? Evil. Corrupt. Nothing like this place that seems so peaceful in comparison to all the war she's lived through.]

[lunarianlegacy.livejournal.com]

[He's heard the explanation that Garden isn't really a garden but it's still confusing for him. This is really the first he's hearing about war though.]

Wait, war? You didn't tell me that.

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

Oh there's lots of things about the war I haven't told you about. Most... you probably wouldn't approve of.

[lunarianlegacy.livejournal.com]

Huh? Like what?

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

Breaking out of jail, assassinating people, [Muttered.]getting blown up...

[lunarianlegacy.livejournal.com]

[Ceodore freezes in place, stunned by all of it, but mostly that last part.]

What?!

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

Yup. Lucky me.

[lunarianlegacy.livejournal.com]

[How in the world can she be so glib about this? Ceodore grabs Selphie for a crushing hug as if that would protect her from all those things.]

Selphie... what happened? H-how?

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

[Caught off guard, Selphie's crushed against Ceodore.]

I was trying to protect my home and... [She failed and isn't fond of reliving this moment.]

[lunarianlegacy.livejournal.com]

And...?

[He's got no idea of the outcome, only that this seems very important and why the heck hadn't she confided this in him before?]
