|| SPILLED SECRETS || - not accepting @zinidyne-zidane - 🐇- For a secret item they keep (stuffed animal, comfort object, etc)
“Hmph. And give you something to go rifling through my palace in search of? I think not.” An easy deflection of the question-- There’s precious little chance Zidane would take any interest in a leaf from that dead tree, but Kuja would rather throw himself back into Iifa’s dead core than reveal he kept something of the past for himself.
Why, he doesn’t even know why he’s kept it; That perfect leaf plucked free from his torn clothes in the aftermath... A weaker soul may have called it a memento, a token of survival, but the Angel of Death was well beyond such pointless sentimentality.
Nevertheless it sits, safely pressed between the pages of the book atop the nightstand in his sanctum.
