"Rinoa" (8:15:38 PM): Hey, Squall...?
"Squall" (8:15:51 PM): ...Rinoa?
"Rinoa" (8:16:02 PM): Yeah, that's right.
"Squall" (8:16:11 PM): ...?
"Rinoa" (8:16:20 PM): I was just confirming for you.
"Rinoa" (8:16:29 PM): I haven't talked to you since you first arrived.
"Rinoa" (8:16:34 PM): Well, not over this, I mean.
"Squall" (8:16:38 PM): ..I've been busy.
"Rinoa" (8:17:16 PM): ......... To be really fair, I haven't tried to talk to you.
"Squall" (8:17:45 PM): .....
"Rinoa" (8:17:57 PM): Not that I didn't want to!
"Rinoa" (8:18:08 PM): I just... Like the others, I didn't really know what to say.
"Rinoa" (8:18:19 PM): I guess I feel a little strange and all.
"Squall" (8:18:24 PM): .....okay?
"Rinoa" (8:18:34 PM): That's not what..
"Rinoa" (8:18:41 PM): Are you doing all right?
"Squall" (8:18:41 PM): ...what?
"Squall" (8:18:45 PM): I'm fine...
"Rinoa" (8:19:04 PM): Even with President Loire here? Everyone else seems so hyped up to see him.
"Rinoa" (8:19:22 PM): When I really thought about it, I don't know anything about the guy. You do, though, right?
"Squall" (8:20:35 PM): .....Something like that.
"Rinoa" (8:21:15 PM): Uhm... Would... you be willing to tell me some stuff about him?
"Squall" (8:23:05 PM): ......No.
"Squall" (8:24:21 PM): I'd rather not.
"Rinoa" (8:24:26 PM): Oh...
"Rinoa" (8:24:29 PM): Okay.
"Squall" (8:24:38 PM): ....
"Rinoa" (8:25:18 PM): Is everything really all right with you? I know I shouldn't push it, but I feel like even I have a right to be worried about you.
"Squall" (8:25:42 PM): ...I'm fine.
"Rinoa" (8:25:51 PM): All right.
"Rinoa" (8:26:04 PM): Did you hear that Selphie is starting a committee for the college and magnet school?
"Squall" (8:43:52 PM): ......I heard.
"Rinoa" (8:44:07 PM): I take it you're not jumping on board with the rest of us...?
"Squall" (8:45:05 PM): .....Of course not.
"Rinoa" (8:45:29 PM): Will you at least attend some of the events? When we're all together, it's like we're a big family. It's nice.
"Squall" (8:45:45 PM): .......
"Squall" (8:45:48 PM): I'll think about it.
"Rinoa" (8:45:59 PM): That's good enough for me.
"Squall" (8:51:31 PM): ...whatever.
"Rinoa" (8:52:10 PM): Anyway, uh... Sorry for bothering you. Just trying to figure some things out. I'll talk to you later? Maybe?
"Squall" (8:53:00 PM): Figuring things out?
"Rinoa" (8:53:14 PM): Uhm... Yeah... Sort of.
"Squall" (8:53:20 PM): ...okay.
"Rinoa" (8:53:52 PM): I'll... I'll talk to you about it later. When you're not so conflicted. I bet you have a lot going on in that head of yours.
"Squall" (8:54:01 PM): ....something like that.
"Rinoa" (8:54:20 PM): That's you, Squall. Always thinking. Never letting anyone know what's going on.
"Squall" (8:54:30 PM): ...why do I have to>
"Rinoa" (8:55:16 PM): Well, you don't really have to. It's just... Well, when you have friends, they worry, and they seem to worry more when they don't know something's wrong, but you know something's wrong, and don't tell anyone.
"Rinoa" (8:55:29 PM): It's more of a courtesy thing, I guess.
"Rinoa" (8:55:39 PM): Getting to know you, Squall, is a privilege, not a right.
"Squall" (8:55:42 PM): Nothings wrong.
"Rinoa" (8:55:54 PM): I know that. I'm just saying stuff for future reference.
"Rinoa" (8:56:03 PM): You're not the type to tell us when something's wrong.
"Squall" (8:56:14 PM): .....I guess.
"Rinoa" (8:57:21 PM): I didn't mean anything by it, Squall. I'm not saying you should do this or that. I'm just saying it'd be nice once in a while if we knew what was going on with you, without... having to resort to prying tactics, which we shouldn't be doing in the first place.
"Squall" (8:57:34 PM): .....
"Rinoa" (8:58:15 PM): Really! As long as you're alive, that's totally good enough for me1
"Rinoa" (8:58:19 PM): ... ^!
"Squall" (8:58:28 PM): ....okay.
Characters: Quistis Trepe, Rinoa Heartilly
Date: Tonight
Summary: Rinoa's still asking about Laguna. Quistis manages to evade and put her mind on other things.
Warnings: None
"Rinoa" (10:08:20 PM): Hey, Quistis?
"Quistis" (10:08:39 PM): Rinoa?
"Rinoa" (10:09:06 PM): Yes. That's right.
"Rinoa" (10:09:16 PM): I had... sort of a question for you.
"Quistis" (10:09:33 PM): Yes?
"Rinoa" (10:10:09 PM): Do you know anything about Professor Loire? I mean, you were in that whole group about knowing him and stuff.
"Quistis" (10:10:27 PM): Like what, exactly?
"Rinoa" (10:10:48 PM): Well, anything, really. I mean, besides him being a journalist instructor here.
"Rinoa" (10:10:51 PM): Anything you know.
"Rinoa" (10:11:00 PM): Unless of course, you don't know anything.
"Rinoa" (10:11:08 PM): Or don't want to tell me, because that's okay too.
"Quistis" (10:14:36 PM): Squall would know the most. Doubtful he'd ever admit to it or say anything about it.
"Rinoa" (10:15:02 PM): ...... Yeah... I talked to him already. He wouldn't really tell me anything. I didn't push him for it, though.
"Quistis" (10:20:14 PM): Figured as much.
"Rinoa" (10:22:14 PM): Squall's never been real receptive to questions.
"Quistis" (10:22:41 PM): Not in the least, but it's more effective when you know how to dig into his mind. Well, at least sometimes it is.
"Rinoa" (10:27:55 PM): Well, it's not really cool of us to pry into him. I told him that too. I'd prefer it if Squall talked to me of his own... you know, accord.
"Quistis" (10:28:50 PM): Now that probably won't happen.
"Rinoa" (10:30:09 PM): ...Yeah. It's a bit of a long shot, but it's worth the faith, and the wait.
"Quistis" (10:30:52 PM): You must have the patience of a saint.
"Rinoa" (10:31:12 PM): I just didn't think it was... Well... I wouldn't say that.
"Quistis" (10:34:58 PM): Well maybe one day he'll open up to you.
"Rinoa" (10:37:28 PM): ...! U-uhm, maybe. It's not a big deal.

"Zell" (12:22:40 AM): I... dunno?

"Zell" (12:32:21 AM): Ehehehe, are ya kiddin? I'm kinda scared I'd get like... I dunno. Fat?
"Rinoa" (12:32:56 AM): ...Well, how is that any different from you just walking in and buying something to eat? At least working in the place you get good self-control lessons.
"Zell" (12:33:26 AM): Ehh, that's my problem. I might not have the self-control and stuff.
"Rinoa" (12:33:46 AM): That's why you have to work on it. <34
