~Thirteenth Act~

[strahlflyer]

My mind has been everywhere but here. The internet is just... so impersonal. I'm much happier talking to people face-to-face than on this thing. Besides, of all the things I've remembered, my password isn't one of them. Darn

Ah haaaa! So THAT'S what that little adorable turkey was doing going through my nail polish collection! And here I was thinking he was trying out an alternative lifestyle. ^^ Look out look out! He asked to borrow a welding gun! >3 Of course, I don't have one of my own yet, but still, he asked

It's so cute seeing you two play around. ^^ And here you were, thinking you'd never get along! I poke at you! Poke poke!

... YOU... you've been helping the skunk get me! I should have known, seeing as you like me about as much as one likes a broken back... You break my heart, little lady, you really do...

We're doing alright, definitely doing better than him and Fran. He's still being a proper little pig to her. I'll straighten him out, though!

WHA-HEY! YOU'RE the one that doesn't like MEEE! Or at least you act that way! And like I said- I thought he would be painting his own giant nails! :( I'm innocent I tells ya! And I like you! You're... just... incredibly intimidating and scary.

DO IT! DO IT! GO FOR THE EARS! Threaten him with MEEE! :D Tell him if he doesn't behave, Auntie Rikku and Unofficial Uncle Cloud are gonna tan his already-chocolate-colored hide!

Now, dear, where did you get the impression that I didn't like you? After I went all that way to bring you back home to us? I thought you'd understand how much I truly love you, little miss ;)

I have noticed that the ears are rather sensitive. Fran can testify to that. But I'll be sure to convey the message!

I must say that the sound of his screaming and the sight of the flailing when he realized that it wasn't his usual hair gel might have been the most amusing thing I've ever seen. Though, you do look rather dashing with red toenails~

I am glad that he's at least bonding with one of us. I've tried just sitting down and talking with him and I've found out that he sees me as the reason he's so different from everyone else. Guess he's not a fan of the ears and the tail. I know he'll come around eventually, I just have to be patient until he does.

As for how we're doing, I think you know the answer to that question~

[strahlflyer]

I must say, they do look rather charming~ Maybe my wearing flip-flops around the house will annoy him >3

He's a difficult boy, without a doubt. But I'm sure he'll warm up. Eventually. Don't hold out too much hope of it being before Christmas, though...

Well, I wasn't asking you now, was I~?

[notabunneh]

I think that knowing that you don't mind your nails being painted just might annoy him more. And at least it was red instead of something sparkly!

He's stubborn. Just like his father... but he'll warm up. I've offered to take him out and show him how to use my bow... he seemed a bit interested, but of course he didn't actually say that.

...Christmas, right. Just what are we supposed to get him...?

You asked friends and companions, I do hope I'm part of at least one of those groups~

[strahlflyer]

Thank the gods for that...!

The boy is about as bad as you are! Damn Viera and the fact that you just can't read their mood until after you piss them off...

I'm not too sure... ammunition? Fireworks? Nitro-glycerin?

You're in a different group, my dear~

I need some advice. I can't tell you exactly what's bothering me, but... I'm concerned for someone I know. I think he's making a hasty decision for reasons he genuinely shouldn't...

...
Bloody fuck, Balthier.
I never wanted to tell you this, but....
I may not have another year to spend with her.

If the worst event happens, which it seems more and more likely that it will...

I never should have gotten involved with them. Never, never, never.

I'm not interested, Luxord.

I have told you every secret I have. You knew about Albanion, you knew my real name... You know everything about me and I know seemingly little about you. You're in trouble and you can't see fit to tell me about it.

I want to try and understand your radical madness and accept your insanity, but I'm going through a phase of rationality. I think the brain damage woke that latent part of my brain up.

You and I have been through everything, but now you're shutting me out and I can tell you're in trouble. So, I bid you to continue to keep your secrets. In return, I shall keep mine.

[cardsstarsdice]

Ffamran, please.

My darkest secret involves you and what happened during July. Why you spent so long in hospital, why you had the seizures, why we're all constantly worried about you.

If you honestly want to know, I'll tell you everything. I don't mean to push you out at all! I just...didn't want you to know.

[Private]

[strahlflyer]

Don't call me that. You know I hate it.

It doesn't matter, Luxord. It's obviously important to you to keep this secret, so I'll do as you desire and let you.

This will put a definite strain on our friendship, but I'm certain you were prepared for that. If you weren't going to tell me before, straight out first time, I don't believe you'll tell me now.

Like you said, people change. I am not privy to such details. Perhaps it is better that way.
