WHO: Zidane and Garnet Dagger.
WHAT: Zidane goes to find Dagger like the lovesick puppy he is.
WHERE: The docks.
WHEN: After Dagger's arrival.
Once again, Zidane was at the docks. The sight of all the moored ships brought a wry smile to his face; maybe he should've chosen an apartment closer to it, for all the excursions he seemed to be making here. Yet while he was tired of sitting around with nothing to do, today he was reluctant to go anywhere at all.
Dagger was here somewhere. But she wasn't his Dagger, not really. She wasn't the strong queen he remembered, fighting to protect her kingdom and her very world. She was just the scared little princess who ran away from home with some thief called Zidane she knew only vaguely. Would she even still care about him? She didn't have much reason to, from what he remembered from all those months ago. He'd sworn to kidnap her, and he'd done so. To add to that, from what she'd said on the journals, her last memory of him wasn't one of the happier ones. What if she only wanted him there because Steiner wasn't there for her to rely on?
Maybe he wasn't giving her enough credit. There were many 'what if's, none of which were consequential. When it all came down to it, he'd missed her, and now she was here and needed him. Even if he'd briefly entertained the idea of leaving, surely she'd have spotted him and his giveaway of a tail by now.
