014 // video/action for Rinoa

Mar 02, 2011 11:29

[ The feed opens in Quistis' hands instead of her Riolu's, for once. Her eyes are a bit red; combined with her despondent expression, it's obvious something's amiss. She clears her throat before she speaks. Her voice is steady, if a bit husky. ]

Looks like we'll be moving on to Azalea alone.

[ There's a long pause, with Quistis looking off- ( Read more... )

[ Rinoa is....pretty down, too. She didn't want to believe that Squall was gone, but after calling him a few times and seeing for herself that he wasn't here, she had to accept the suckish truth. So she's going to come back early from work, partly because she really doesn't want to cry there and partly because she wants to have someone she knows nearby.

When she enters the room, she tries to summon up some of her cheerful energy for a greeting, but she can't really manage that at the moment. ]

Quisty....

[ What else is there to say? Rinoa's just going to...extend her arms, as if asking for a hug. DO YOU WANT A HUG, QUISTIS? Rinoa's definitely in the mood for one. ]

[ Quistis looks up when Rinoa comes in, and smiles reflexively, but it isn't very bright or spirited. The smile dies a bit more when she sees that Rinoa's usual sunshine is missing. ]

... Hey....

[ The gesture is all she needs. Quistis stands without another word and comes over to hug Rinoa tightly, wrapping both arms around her and pressing her cheek to the other girl's shoulder. It's almost enough to make her cry again. ]

[ There's something very comforting about being held. Rinoa hugs back tightly, trying to keep the tears at bay. ]

He'll....he has to come back soon, right...?

[ Is it bad for her to hope for something like that? But that's the one thing she's clinging to, that keeps her from fully breaking down. That and the fact that she's not alone, not as long as Quistis is here. ]

[ As soon as she's sure she can control herself, Quistis pulls back a bit to grip Rinoa's shoulders and look her in the eyes. ]

Even if he doesn't, Rinoa, he's not alone. He'll be okay; he has friends he can count on. And so do we, right? [ Despite her bright eyes, she smiles reassuringly, squeezing Rinoa's shoulders. ]

We'll be okay, too.

[ action! ] angelicdelights March 5 2011, 03:40:11 UTC

[ Rinoa listens to Quistis quietly, before mustering up a nod. She...had a point. Squall would be okay, because he was Squall. ]

Yeah...we're not alone. [ She manages a small smile in response. It's not as bright as her usual smile, but it's something. ] We've got everyone here to rely on.

Thanks, Quisty.

[ Quistis knows she should probably tell Rinoa about the Conflict - Squall had wanted them to know, of that much, she's sure - but the poor girl looks like she's had about as much as she can take at the moment. There'll be time to explain it all later. ]

No problem. Look, I'm here if you need anything, or if you just want to talk... I don't mind. [ She hesitates briefly before going on. ] I know things have been a little rocky between us, but we're past all that now, right? Especially now.

[ action! ] angelicdelights March 10 2011, 07:38:55 UTC

[ Today was the day she was letting herself wallow, a little. Tomorrow she'll put on her brave face and look forward, but today....she'd been getting it all out. Not that Quistis isn't helping her brighten up somewhat, though. ]

We're definitely past that. [ And she means that. She truly sees Quistis as a good friend, old hesitancies aside. ] Out of everyone here, I know I can rely on you the most. And I'll be here for you, too, okay?

[ Rinoa reaches a hand up to wipe at her eyes slightly, clearing away any tear residue. ]

[ action! ] usedgatlinggun March 10 2011, 22:09:56 UTC

[ Quistis' smile is tentative at first, but grows warmer as Rinoa goes on. She moves her hands to briefly cup Rinoa's face, then lets her go to wipe her own eyes with the back of her hand. ]

Yeah. We've gotta stick together, here. [ Here her smile turns wry. ] Wouldn't want those vicious wild Sentret to get us or anything.

[ action! ] angelicdelights March 13 2011, 03:47:12 UTC

[ Okay, that last comment there gets a laugh from her. ]

Between the Sentret and the Magikarp, we'd be toast if we didn't have each other!
