Patters, patterns, oh, but another simple pattern. But I wonder, is this one as traceable as the rest ( Read more... )

A state of normality yet again. Oh, but one must wonder how long that's bound to last. Patterns- simple patterns that can be traced!

Quite like a cycle, hmm?

And all cycles are sure to repeat themselves.

[Cid looks less than pleased, and shakes his head somewhat.]

A walk? Oh, nothing more than the city's influence itself.

Such power, I still marvel at the source. One of these days, mind you- and sooner than it would seem, at that. It can't remain hidden for all of eternity.

Bright new beginnings, ah hah! And hardly a surprise that is. I'm curious, though- whatever happened to a certain pirate, hm? Heeded my advice and took to the skies? My, things are looking up. I can see the 'hard times' ending as we speak!

Trials, oh, I'm not quite concerned.
