WHO: Zidane and Garnet. Also starring a brief appearance from Larsa!
WHAT: A rescuer's triumphant return! ...Just as soon as they can find one another.
WHERE: The housing district.
WHEN: Day 29, early afternoon.
(
Adventuring, Zidane concluded, was only really adventuring when you had friends at your side. )
Their time apart had given him thinking space, at least. He'd come to terms with the fact she was not exactly the same person he'd watched disappear into the sky on that airship, what felt so long ago. That was okay. They were still friends, and he'd prove to her he wasn't who he used to be.
"You look happy about something," he teased, the unspoken question of 'did you miss me?' weighing on the air.
Well, maybe he hadn't changed that much. Some things never did.
An explosion of colour appearing in the corner of his eye caught his attention. He winked at her knowingly before she could respond, and turned to see who was approaching. There was a well-dressed kid... carrying flowers? None too politely, he blurted in disbelief, "Is that Larsa?"
He didn't know whether to laugh or to scoff. The kid was either a male incarnation of Eiko with an immense crush on Dagger, or it was just one of those stupid royal formalities for whatever reason. He'd never understand all that pomp and ceremony, and wasn't about to make the effort to hide his disdain.
