That was an interesting one, wasn't it? I can't speak for everyone, of course, but I managed to have a lot of fun while it lasted. And as fate would have it, I happen to have more than a few good photographs left over, and of a lot of different people. Let me know if you'd like to go through them: I'll be more than happy to share!

[ But whatever,

[ Oh hello there, The Only Person She Actually Wants To Talk To Today. She'll go ahead and private this conversation, though she keeps the video function turned on. Hughes might be able to see a rising slope of a mountainside behind her. ]

... M-- ... mister Hughes? [ what does she call him now? ] ... Elicia is your daughter, right?

[Private]

[idkmybffroy]

Xion. [ A simple friendly greeting like there was no hesitation in there at all. Seems like a good way to go about this. He'll just make a note to hold onto anything she might want, until she's done moving about and around. ] That's right, she is~! I don't suppose you could tell me where to pick her up today.

[ He'd be creating a huge shitstorm about the fact that he doesn't know exactly where she is right now what is this madness >E... but he's thinking he can be secure in the knowledge that Sanji will look out for her properly until he turns up. ]

[poppetry]

Y-Yeah, of course. [ she tells him the house number. She, uh ... won't be going back until later. But he's right -- Sanji will take care of her. ]

I wanted to -- .... could I still come see Elicia? I know you said-- but... I mean, we... [ trails off. she's having a hard time with this, okay. ]

[ Good, good. Not ridiculously far out of his way.

...and huh. Someone is actually asking if they're allowed to see his daughter instead of just getting carried away by her cuteness. (not that he often blames people for getting caught up in such cuteness.) ]

Of course you can. [ Liiiiiittle pause, and then he's tacking something on for the sake of not just leaving things at that. ] And I know I wouldn't be against getting to see you around, either.

Do you have photographs of...

[He's not sure what to say after that. "My family" isn't accurate now, is it?]

[voice]

[idkmybffroy]

[ ... :|a ]

More likely than not, I do. Whatever it is you're more interested in in particular.

[voice]

[noprevaricating]

...Me with anyone. Jilly, Leonard, Buffy, anyone.

[voice]

[idkmybffroy]

[ He thinks on it for a few seconds- good mind for images he may have, but Hughes also has a pretty formidable photograph count here. ]

As a matter of fact, I do. Quite a few of them.

[She returns to house twenty-three in pajama pants and a large t-shirt with a pillowcase full of clothes. She's not looking the best, but definitely not too bad because of Buffy's talk. At least she's not on the brink of crying. Go ahead and greet her at the door or when she walks inside. She also has with her Den and Babe the pig-sized blue ox of Jack Horner's.]

[idkmybffroy]

[ ...what is that blue thing and why is it in the house. ]

[Action]

[idkmybffroy]

[ Man, Winry, you've got really weird taste in pets.

But at least you're home. He'll even get up to greet you. ]

Good morning.

[Action]

[crytearsofjoy]

[It's not even hers, man. But she smiles weakly as she ushers the animals in.]

'Morning Mr. Hughes. How are you?

[Action]

[skulljokelol]

[Well, he really should be getting on his way to go back to his own house now, but-]

Did you say you had pictures?

[Action]

[idkmybffroy]

[ You really are a ridiculously tall skeleton, then. He was wondering if that was just some kind of insane side effect of the experiment, unlikely as that would've been.

Go figure. I SEE YOUR EARS STILL FUNCTION EVEN THOUGH YOU HAVE NONE. ]

You heard correctly! Pretty lucky break, don't you think?

[Voice]

[eidolon_soul]

Oh! I was going to ask about those wedding anniversary pictures.

[Not that she's married now, but...whatever, they're still nice.]

[Voice]

[idkmybffroy]

I was hoping you might, Miss Rydia. It's just such a shame to let good mementos go to waste.

[Voice]

[eidolon_soul]

I agree. I...wouldn't pass on the family photos to Kain, though. Knowing him, he'll want to destroy those.

[Voice]

[idkmybffroy]

Aa. I guess that makes sense. [ Some families weren't entirely lucky in their assigned members. ] If you'd like to take them on and decide what to do with them from there, that's understandable. Most of these aren't really mine to hold onto, after all.
