[He frowns in concentration, sat cross-legged outside Matoya's cave. He doesn't speak for a minute or so, trying to recapture that face in his mind.]

There was- [He pauses, frown deepening, and rubs his temples in thought before continuing.] -he was a little older than me, but he still acted like a kid. In one of the old cycles, there was a boy

Yeah, that sounds like Vaan.

[alittletoosmart]

Y-you know him?!

[fulminous]

Yeah. [ She frowns a little, mostly in thought. The kid before her looks pretty familiar too, but she knows she didn't interact with him much. ]

[alittletoosmart]

Where is he?! Is he okay?

[danceawaypain]

What about Vaan?

[alittletoosmart]

-you know him?

He- I remember talking to him. And he was an idiot but-

[danceawaypain]

I grew up with him and I'm his partner.

[Am? Was? Hard to say anymore with them being worlds apart.]

What'd he do this time?

video

[alittletoosmart]

He- he-

-he went away.

[This is growing to become a theme with Vaan, huh?]

[Video]

[dragoon_rising]

Yes, that's right. Vaan was also there.

[Video]

[alittletoosmart]

He-

[Pause. Because he probably doesn't need to ask but-]

-what happened to him?

[Video]

[dragoon_rising]

He was with us when we went to close the rift.

[Video]

[alittletoosmart]

...so that would be why-

[He hangs his head, clenching his fists.]

-ugh.

[heavenslament]

Vaan?

...Lightning said he mentioned me.

[She bites her lip, not sure how much more she should say. This isn't a conversation she wants to have over the sky phone.]

[alittletoosmart]

[Since he can't leave Marlene and Marlene's stuck here there's not much of a choice.]

Do you- know much about him?

[Video]

[heavenslament]

[Terra shakes her head.]

I know he was in Gaia before, but...I don't remember anything about him being in the Void.

[She stares downward.]

Kain did tell me some of what happened....

[Video]

[alittletoosmart]

I didn't until a few weeks ago. I- knew there was someone who didn't get saved. And I tried and tried and then- I remembered his name just now.

...he went with Kain. On that ridiculous mission to get killed. Idiot.

[for_cosmos]

His name was Vaan?

[Doing his best to remember, himself.]

[video]

[alittletoosmart]

I think so. He was- a lot like Bartz or Zidane. Got into trouble a whole lot. There's some people here who know him, I think.

[video]

[for_cosmos]

I do not remember much of him, but it does sound familiar.

[video]

[alittletoosmart]

I- think I want to know more about him.
