48th moon [Let's do the 4th wall agaaaiiiin!]

[puppet_paladin]

[There is alcohol. There are sandwiches. There are Clefairies. There is Cresselia. There is, of course, Cecil.

Has Mt. Moon ever been so inviting before?]

I knew buying those bottles was a good idea.

[Hell no it hasn't.]

[Kain finds himself on yet another mountainside... but it's not any mountain that he recognizes. He'd spent a good few months on Mount Ordeals to know enough of it. He starts wandering along...]

...Cecil?

[puppet_paladin]

Kain.

[He'd show more emotion, but the whole thing is starting to feel familiar-but-not, and between the teleportation and the Clefairies he greatly needs a drink.]

Hungry? Thirsty?

[dragoon_pride]

Where...

[He trails off, glancing around. Something about this is oddly familiar, in some way...]

...I suppose, while I'm here.

[He's been too busy training all day to eat, anyway.]

[puppet_paladin]

You might as well take the time.

[He has a feeling they might be there for a while.]

[dragoon_pride]

[He looks toward the food and drink.]

I assume you know why we're here.

[puppet_paladin]

We're here because this world hates making sense.

[This explanation is obviously the best.]

[dragoon_pride]

...I'm getting that impression.

[Ok, taking a sandwich after another moment of deliberation. And a drink.]

[puppet_paladin]

...Still, it's nice to have someone with whom to share it again.

[A sip.]

[dragoon_pride]

There usually isn't?

[Mmm, this is good... he's really hungry, after that long day of training.]

[puppet_paladin]

Not since two months ago. Everyone else from home has left. Iwas the first to arrive, and now the last to stay.

[At least he has Bartz and kinda Lightning, Kuja and Tifa.]

[dragoon_pride]

Only you remain? How unfortunate...

[He maybe feels somewhat guilty about this.]

[puppet_paladin]

It's not as bad as I feared. I have all the friends I've made here, and I have them.

[He pats the pokéballs in his pocket.]

[dragoon_pride]

[Kain raises an eyebrow and looks, but something is coming back to him vaguely from previous visits.]

Right... those Eidolons...

[puppet_paladin]

They've grown quite a lot. We can fly, now, as long and far as we wish.

[In fact, that happened right after last time.]

[dragoon_pride]

'We'? You mean that... they're capable of carrying you as they fly?

[puppet_paladin]

Indeed. Kayne and Mist can last for hours. Tellah cannot do so for more than a few minutes, but with his size that was to be expected.
