Squall stepped back and grabbed his jacket from the back of his chair. Slipping it on, he nodded for her to go on and he shut the door behind him as he followed. He was glad they weren't taking the puppies. Besides, Patch had his earlier-before Squall had found out Laguna was gone.

He shoved his hands into his pockets, following Selphie and trying to figure out the real purpose of the walk. Did she expect him to talk about Laguna; his feelings on that? Or were they going to do it in complete silence? It was a little like someone dying, wasn't it? Even if Laguna came back, he wouldn't be the same. He wouldn't remember being here before.

…How does she feel about it? Squall glanced at Selphie once they were in the elevator. She seemed all right. Should he ask? Would that open the floodgates? But Rinoa had left and-

Well, they had fought. Before that, her friend Zell and Quistis had left. But Quistis hadn't remembered them either. Had that made a difference? Selphie seemed closer to Laguna here than she had been-maybe now was-with Zell, but…

He wanted to ask. Of course he didn't; he led the way out of the elevator and toward the front doors. What was she trying to do?

Selphie unconsciously mirrored Squall, her hands balled in the pockets of her shorts. There was no real way to bring up the topic of Laguna without gambling with Squall's temper. She really didn't want to fight with him, not today. So the walk to the outside world was spent in quiet thought, her teeth sometimes biting into her bottom lip.

"You said not to push you, so I'm not," She said once they were starting on the path around the castle, "But..."

But what? Selphie scratched the side of her head, giving Squall a briefly confused look. She didn't like it when he tried to hide things, and that made her push. "And I remember what you said when Rinoa went back, so..."

She got it. "I know it's kinda annoying when people say that they understand, but I think I kind of do?"
