Day 48: Courtyard

"I could tell you some stories," Yuffie suggested brightly, "of unquestionable legality." Illegality, that was. Petty little things like the law didn't usually mean very much to her, except for the times when she had to uphold it. Always fun for the breaking, though, the law, and messy for the clean-up. Just the way she liked it ( Read more... )

[for some gaylordia]

Breakfast had been somewhat tough for Ashton. He'd never met anyone trapped here at Landel's who wasn't surprisingly nice and helpful... Of course, that had changed this morning, when he'd had to sit and watch that redheaded guy toss all his delicious pancakes on the floor just to prove some angry, drugged point. Ashton would have eaten those pancakes if they'd been offered, but that person wasn't really the sort to offer anything other than a punch in the face to anyone.

Well, it took all kinds, didn't it? Everyone had their bad days, though Ashton wondered if some people didn't have more bad days than others. He regretted getting a little snippy at the man, but, really, there were certain things one just didn't do. Ashton's own tendency was to bemoan his fate and whine about it ( ... )

It had been harder than usual for Guy to leave Luke at the end of the shift, and yet he forced himself to acknowledge the fact that his friend could handle it. Even if the younger man had just been put through something terrible, he was far stronger now than he'd been three years ago. It was going to wear on him, but not to the point that he couldn't function, the way he'd been after Akzeriuth ( ... )

Noticing that someone had walked up to him, and was raising a hand, Ashton pulled himself up from his deep stretch - slowly, so as to not strain his muscles in his haste. The man was blond, hair a little bit shorter than Claude's... and he had the gait of a fighter ( ... )

It was true that Guy had never gotten really close to Ashton before, but they'd spoken enough times that he'd been able to make some surface judgments about him. It was mainly that the man was slightly awkward at times, but generally nice (and passionate when it came to certain things, such as a sword fighting). Seeing him now just reaffirmed all of that. This was the same person he'd met before, even if he couldn't remember any of the talks they'd had ( ... )

So the guy's name was Guy! What an interesting name. It did seem to fit him, as he was, without doubt, a guy. Ashton knew there wasn't such thing as an ashton, or a claude, or a celine. Though bowmans (bowmen?) did exist. He wasn't sure about welches. Oh, goodness, speaking of which, if Welch ever showed up here, he'd be in so much trouble. So much for his own free will; he'd be a gofer-slash-street-performer till the end of time! Or until she got bored.He pushed those thoughts out of his mind very quickly, taking Guy's hand in a rather firm handshake, however momentary, before his hand returned to his side. "Thanks for your well wishes, Guy. It's very nice to meet you again." Ashton got the sincere feeling that Claude had been in good hands, what with both Leon and this Guy character around ( ... )

Both when Ashton said that it was nice to meet him and when he insisted that he keep the sword, Guy got the feeling that he was being completely sincere. Honestly, Ashton just didn't come across as the sort of person who could be deceiving or ingenuous about anything. It brought a smile to his face, although that was quickly chased away when Ashton mentioned having a reason for lending the sword ( ... )

Ashton was glad he seemed to be getting along with Guy pretty well. Really, he wasn't going to trust just anyone in this place - not after seeing what other sorts of people there were here at breakfast - but if Guy had Claude's seal of approval, he had Ashton's, too ( ... )

When Ashton mentioned that blunt weapons weren't something he was used to, Guy nodded in empathy. He felt the same way. While swing something around using brute strength was something anyone could get the hang of, he didn't have any more skill with it than that. Sword-fighting he had trained to do, which was why he'd gotten his hands on something sharp as soon as possible ( ... )
