❝ We don’t have to talk. Let’s just…let’s just watch this together. ❞ for faye from gray!

“You sure? You don’t have to hang around if you don’t want to. I mean, we… Should be celebrating. Duma’s been taken own, we all made it home safe, you’re gonna become a knight… Who knows when the next time you’ll get to see a party like this’ll be? You should tell Clair all about it, or ask her to dance, or something.”
Despite her protests, Faye finds herself scooting a little closer to her friend and leaning her head against his shoulder. Alm had declared the future to be a new beginning for all of Valentia, so… Why did it feel like everything was ending? Despite the merriment of the Ram Village party ( the first they’ve had the chance to cobble together in years, all for the safe return of their children ), that’s all Faye can think as she watches Alm and Celica twirl around the bonfire, laughing merrily.
The two of them would be a king and queen. Tobin and Gray were likely going to be knighted. Kliff… Well, Kliff had withdrawn into himself a lot more lately, and she’d thought she’d noticed the young mage talking more and more with those three Pegasus Knight sisters from Macedon ever since their parties had merged. She didn’t know what they had to talk about, but the different countries of Archanea had popped up more and more in what little snippets she’d heard. The rest of the armies would go their separate ways and pursue new dreams, but…
What about Faye? Where would she go from here? She’d silently accepted that her dreams for the future were never going to be, but… She’d always pictured the green-haired fighter to be a part of her life somehow. Now he’d be unreachable, and all her friends would be gone, and…
She’s glad Gray had told her they didn’t have to talk. She’s not sure she would be able to find the words without bursting into tears and causing a scene.
