[Action] Because they kinda mouthed off at each other... boomchucka July 14 2011, 22:08:00 UTC
[Selphie's journal is neatly tucked into her backpack that's resting against her thigh as she's plopped herself under a tree to avoid the worst of the summer heat. It's still hot and bright out, but it's a bit cooler under the trees.

It doesn't make the fact that the two had snarked at each other in the worst way humanly possible as she starts to fan herself with that big, floppy hat of hers. The shorts and loose clothing weren't helping her to cool off but she'll be there for a little having a rest and downing about half of the contents of a water bottle being pulled out of her bag.

She doesn't even notice Luke wandering around.]

[Luke does notice her, though, after spending some time looking. He remembers how they argued with and called each other names... He can't help wincing a little when he remembers it. He'd definitely have to apologize to her.

So, he heads over to her, calling out her name once he's close enough to be heard, at least to let her know that she's there.]

Selphie?

[Selphie looks up at the sound of her name being called and while part of her really wants to scowl darkly at the Replica, she doesn't. She doesn't smile or wave but she keeps her expression neutral. She remembers that argument they had all too well.]

Hey Luke.

[His own expression is... less than happy, and her own reaction makes him lose eye contact with her. This was... hard. Really hard... but he still had to get it done. So, he keeps walking, until he can sit not far from her.]

I'm sorry for arguing with you like that.

[So blunt. Selphie's eyes widen noticeably at the apology before moving forward to kneel and gives Luke a light punch to the arm.]

I'm sorry too.

[Luke was just about to hold his ankles when Selphie punched him in the arm like that. He blinks, then flashes her a half smile before he looks down again, that somber expression mostly gone. It was something like Guy would do...]

I was a jerk to you... and everyone else, too. [He glances at her.] Is there anything I can do to make it up to you?

Hmmmm, something you can do...

Well, for starters, you can quit moping. It's only going to make you regret it more.

[He looks at her for a second... then turns away again, though there's a little smile on his face.]

That's going to be pretty tough.

[Selphie smiles sympathetically. If the Malnosso had erased her memories, she'd be right popping mad about it.]

Just try. You can't help what the Malnosso are going to do to you.

I know I can't... But that was still me. It's part of who I am. It's something I want to leave behind, and...

[He fists his hands in the cuffs of his pants.] I've been trying so hard to change from all that, and they can just... change it all so quickly.

But you're making amends for what happened in your past right? You've acknowledged that you made mistakes in the past and you're doing your best to change. You just need to know that what's in the past is in the past. It's not always the easiest thing to do but I think it's the right thing to do.

... I know.

[It's so hard, though... He isn't even sure if he's really changed. And then the Malnosso had to go and do that...

He glances at her, one side of his mouth quirking up in a half smile.]

Anything else I can do besides mope?

No moping. It's absolutely not allowed. Whatever it is, you have to face it head-on.

[He shuts his eyes, and nods after a few seconds.]

... Right.

[It's not something he can promise - moping is what he does best, after all. But he'll try.]
