[Screen clicks on to Irvine's room where the cowboy is wearing a newly acquired Gaia Gear and his hat off, looks at it]

Not sure if this suits my style, found it in that bizarre place of Memoria, or whatever it was called. Kept me warm though. I want to thank both Ursula and Ceodore for their kindness, I still owe the both of you, so don't you worry

[Yes, Rinoa will be going to find him. She just looks at him quietly.]

Need help packing?

[ladiesmanirvine]

[Looks back at Rinoa with a smile]

Not so much...but wouldn't mind the company.

[livelyangel]

Well, that's why I'm here.

Do you know where you're going?

[ladiesmanirvine]

Not a clue! Was thinking [Points his finger someplace] That'a way. [Grins at Rin] What do you think? Too vauge?

[livelyangel]

Too vague by far!

[She pauses, looking more serious.]

Do you really know what you're doing, Irvine?

[ladiesmanirvine]

[Grabs his bow, pauses and looks at her] Never do. But figured if I stay here, I'll drive the three of you batty. And the last thing I need is Squall carving me up a new bellybutton...and then some.

[Smiles] But if I'm ever in a jam, I know who to call.

[livelyangel]

[She nods, then looks at the bow.]

So you really use that thing?

[ladiesmanirvine]

[Grins and raises a bullet] Well seeing that I don't have a lot of these suckerpunchers left, I'm kinda left using it.

Besides it's actually pretty good. Unless they have armor or is a metal fiend...then I'm kinda screwed.

[livelyangel]

That could be bad if you're out on your own. Just promise me you'll stay out of trouble.

[ladiesmanirvine]

[A Chuckle] You act like I get into trouble all the time, who do you think I am Sel-

[Catches himself, as his face sterns a bit, then shakes it off with a smile] I'll be fine, trust me...though I may come back with several slap marks on my cheek. But that just means I had a good time.

[livelyangel]

I think you're you, and you're hurting more than you admit. But if it'll clear your head.

[She holds out her arms.]

C'mere, you big lunk.

[ladiesmanirvine]

[He smiles] Alright. But no hanky panky you.

[He hugs her, but doesn't realize how much he needed it as he hugs her with feeling]

[livelyangel]

[She laughs and hugs him back, a little tearful. Yeah, they both need this. Rinoa misses her friends too.]

[ladiesmanirvine]

[After a while he finally lets go of her wiping his face] Heh, we shouldn't do that too much, Squall might get the wrong impression.

[livelyangel]

[He gets a punch on the arm for that, but not a hard one.]

There's nothing wrong with a farewell hug.

...I'm getting all emotional. It's like, this time I get a chance to actually say goodbye. All those other times we didn't. And I know you're coming back, and I can call you anyway, so... I'll still miss you though. There just aren't enough of us left.

[ladiesmanirvine]

[Rubs arm and smiles]

Not here physically...but [Pats chest] They're still here Rin...as much as I miss Zell, Selphie, and the others...they're always right here.

Just like I'm right here for you, Squall, and Quistis, no matter how far I go.
