[Halfway to Sudowoodo crossing again, since she'd doubled back for Leon, Lightning decides to call up Hope to ask how he's doing. There's just...one problem.]

We are sorry. The number you are attempting to dial is no longer a valid number. Please check your number and try again.

So she stops, looking down at the Gear. Did she dial the number wrong ( Read more... )

[ when Rise responds, she's looking... worn out. She's had so many of her friends leave, and it never gets any less painful, and she realized what happened when she found Hope's Swablu on her bed-- but Lightning was also her first thought, and it's pretty obvious that she's concerned. ]

... I know. Cotton's with me.

[Lightning is still hiding her face, but she nods once in response.]

...Can you find out where the others went? He had an egg with him, but...[Headshake. Give her a bit and she'll be...functional again.]

Thank you, Rise. I'll be...I'll be back as soon as I can. [She has to tell Vanille and Fang. And Sazh. ...dammit. She is not going to cry. He just went home, that's all.]

... Yeah. [ it's a sign that Lightning isn't going to just disappear, and Rise releases a shaky sigh and clears her throat. She can tell Lightning's struggling.

And her heart breaks at the same time that her resolve solidifies. ]

I'll be waiting for you, Light.

[A short, small nod, and a quick glimpse at a watery eye.]

I'll see you soon. [And with the sound of footsteps in the snow, she ends the feed. Sorry, Rise. If she talks anymore she is going to have a lot of trouble not shedding at least one tear. And Light doesn't cry with people watching.]

[ HEART COMPLETELY BROKEN. Somehow, though, Rise isn't willing to leave it at that, not without a final response. So Lightning will be getting a text two minutes later. A very simple one, but a text nonetheless. ]

i'm here whenever u need me

[Lightning's reply comes about fifteen minutes later, almost as an afterthought. But Rise is her friend, really, so...cutting herself off from Rise would be like shutting Serah out, again.]

I know. Thank you.
