Like-- my characterization is falling flat IMO, and I just need time to get this hot mess straightened out.

          “Thanks, but  I’ll skip your offer,” his eyes motioned toward’s Seifer’s arms that beckoned for his Squall to join in on the humorous joke, adding a cheeky half-smile. “Almasy,” he humored his concern, continuing. “A long time. You have no idea…”

          Squall naturally slid both hands into the pockets of his coat, sporting another faint smile. It really has been a while since he had last seen Seifer, and though he was content knowing he was in good health, even he himself could tell they had both grown in many ways then just appearance alone.  ”This may sound weird but…”

          ( Would he even believe me? Probably not. )           “Never mind — How have things been here?”

He huffed, scratching at his chin amusedly.

"Well, looks like you're still swallowing your words. At least that hasn't changed." He shifted his weight, quickly scanning the town. Somehow Balamb didn't have the same charm as dusk as it did when the skies were blue.

"Depends on what you mean by 'here', at any rate. The town's as quiet as ever, but hell if I know what's happening with Garden."

"Basically, I'm pretty sure your 'something weird' is more worth talking about."

"Ha! Looks like someone's got too much time on their hands."

Show me what you got, Squall! Let me add another scar for ya!

Ask my character two personal questions. They will answer one.

Fujin notes the smile, but makes no comment of it. He’s probably the only one who she speaks so freely around. To his inquiry, her shoulders ascend briefly; a slight tug of the lips downward. 

“Travelling.” She replies, going on what she last heard from him. It’d been a while, but her kick-bag was still about. “Seaside? Why?” She asks, curious as to what he’s planning. 

[bitterromantic-blog]

Seifer nodded. Sometimes, even though he knew better than most, he saw Fujin and Raijin as an inseparable unit. Occasionally he needed a reminder that they were just as human as anyone else. Still, the idea of the three of them on their own journeys made a bittersweet impression on him. DC was growing, and the days of Garden were far behind.

"No reason," he answered, "Guess I just like the sea." It was true enough. He didn't have so many destinations these days, more listless travel than anything. He looked down, laughing slightly at his own response and feeling a bit like an old man.

"Fuck. I'm really more of a Balamb hick than I thought.. So. Where're you headed, Fuu?"

“Oh, I’m sure I could think of something else more fitting..” She teased back, giving him a small smile in the process. “So, I trust you’ve been doing better then,? Since you can joke about it, anyway.”

He took Quistis' welcome with a grain of salt. The first smile he'd gotten since he walked into this place, and it was unbelievable that it came from her. Seifer was hardly expecting a warm reception, and the surprise brought him a little off kilter.

"I'm great," he lied. He tried a smirk, something cocky and (what he hoped was) close to the ones he wore when he was a student. Maybe he didn't have the youth for it anymore.

"You don't look so bad yourself, Trepe."

[daveydesu]

“YOU COULDNT AFFORD ME ANYWAY, YOU ASS!” He growled back, even more irritated than before.

[bitterromantic-blog]

That was some of the most unfortunate wording he'd heard in a while. Either that or... Seifer paused in disbelief for a second. Well the boy was practically half dressed, after all.

"'Afford' you? Hah! Don't tell me you're selling?" He snickered, shaking his head as he turned the other way.

"I'm not in the market, kid. Besides, I told you to get lost."

This place is too calm, too natural- too complete. I don’t deserve it. At least not yet.

“I’m looking for directions on how to get back to Tokyo, Japan. Though I can’t say that I’m in much of a hurry now, the company seems good right now,” she replied with a playful wink.

"Never heard of it," he supplied, "So I can't help you there. But maybe I can help you with something else?"

"Doesn't look like you have a drink."

Confusion filled her hopeful emerald eyes as she looked at the older man. “Balamb? The Garden?” None of those things sounded familiar. She’d really outdone herself this time. “I’m sorry. What’s the Garden? Is it like a school?” she asked, head tipping slightly to one side.

[bitterromantic-blog]

"Huh. You really are lost." He sighed, stuffing his hands in the pocket of his trenchcoat. Maybe he was getting soft in his 'old' age, but he figured he couldn't just leave the kid alone. He let out a small, self deprecating chuckle.

"Look, I haven't eaten yet. You wanna fill me in over lunch?"

[slayingtail-deactivated20140316]

“—Seifer.” She exhaled quietly, not having expected to run into him today - not that it was an unpleasant encounter, however. “You’re staying out of trouble, I hope?”

[bitterromantic-blog]

"What kind of role model would I be otherwise?" he joked, swinging Hyperion lazily over his shoulder.
