Rosa, Rydia. Edward is...

Edward is...

[He cannot finish that sentence, but those last few words are rather obvious.]

...Why can Johto not give without taking, for once?

[And that is all Cecil has to say.]

not doing well right now, professional angster

[ ...Yeah, she can tell what you're going to say. ]

So he is..... [ She'll just let that thought trail off. ]

I'm sorry, Cecil.

Damcyan will need him, soon enough. He'll rebuild her beautifully.

[He hesitates for a few moments.]

...Where are you?

[ video ] gentleblossom April 18 2011, 06:14:44 UTC

I'm sure he'll do a fine job. I hope to see it, someday.

[ She's worried about how you're taking it, though. ]

I am in my room. Would you....like company?

[ video ] puppet_paladin April 18 2011, 18:01:50 UTC

You will. We'll all have the chance to visit, and to comment on his choice of carpet in the throne room, and to discuss the cost of quality stone until we refuse to speak a single word more on the subject.

...Company would be appreciated. Please.

...You're right. We must keep faith. We will return home one day, hopefully all together.

Shall I come to you? You are also welcomed here, if you'd like.

Even if we will not find ourselves in the same time or place...

I'll go to you. I'm upsetting the little ones, in this state.

[ video ] gentleblossom April 20 2011, 06:11:05 UTC

We will still be together, albeit slightly different versions of ourselves. This I know.

My door is open. [ A slight, hesitant pause, before continuing in a reassuring tone. ] It always is, you know.

[ video ] puppet_paladin April 21 2011, 01:03:19 UTC

I cannot speak for my past self, but the Rosa I'll return to is as wonderful as her younger self.

...I know. Thank you. I'll be there soon.

[ video ] gentleblossom April 21 2011, 23:38:16 UTC

The Cecil I know and love is every bit as brave a man.

I will await you.

[ video/action ] puppet_paladin April 22 2011, 01:13:29 UTC

I suppose this makes the two of us rather lucky people.

[Soon enough, he knocks on Rosa's door frame.]

[ action ] gentleblossom April 22 2011, 03:50:28 UTC

[ And she's up and at the door, quickly opening it and stepping aside.

Quietly but warmly: ] Come in.

I'm glad you're here.

[ action ] puppet_paladin April 22 2011, 04:14:57 UTC

[By some sort of miracle, Cecil is not wearing the armor at the moment. Those Johtoan clothes must look strange on him, especially with the beads and the jewelry and the accessories.]

Thank you for having me. I fear I'll not be the most cheerful of guest.

[ action ] gentleblossom April 25 2011, 03:18:56 UTC

[ Rosa only marvels at the change internally for a moment, before remembering what's going on. ]

I wouldn't expect you to be. Losing a friend, even if it's just because they went home.....it's sad.

[ action ] puppet_paladin April 26 2011, 00:19:40 UTC

[Cecil seems a little lost, somehow. He starts playing with his wedding ring as he speaks.]

...It's strange. Losing Edward should be easier, as I know I'll see him the moment I return home... Yet the loss feels as sharp as it did when Tidus or Firion disappeared.

[ action ] gentleblossom May 1 2011, 23:26:36 UTC

[ She would hug him in comfort, but she doesn't want to be too forward, so have a hand on his shoulder instead. ]

I think it's painful, no matter what. Even if we know we'll see them again, it's still hard to be separated.

[ action ] puppet_paladin May 1 2011, 23:40:00 UTC

[It might merely be a hand on his shoulder, but he still leans into that touch, using it to ground himself in the present instead of the what-ifs.]

...I think I regret not telling him everything, even though some of it was for the best.
