[The video seems to be in a sunny garden. Paper lanterns are everywhere and there are low chairs in lines surrounding an aisle. It's a wedding, but you're hanging back, hiding in the shadows under one of the larger trees

...Tseng.

...Miss Vanille. [Trying to seem casual. Composure go!]

[sugaryoptimist]

I'm sorry. [She ducks her head, looking pained.] It's hard...to do what you did.

[fingersloophole]

It was necessary. Sacrifice is often necessary. [Frown because the head ducking is worrisome.] Are you alright?

[She didn't think anything could disturb her anymore. Not after months of the 'here today, gone tomorrow', days where the Mist thickened before rising. Not after Turk missions and seeing blood splash across the Arena floor.

But this...this was disturbing.

The connection is open, and despite her natural inclination to ask and talk, she bites down on her bottom lip to remain silent.]

[Awkward turtle. Watch it swim. Tseng is aware of how this works now, not that he appreciates it.]

Elena. It was...a long time ago.

[wellsuited]

I know...another life ago.

[fingersloophole]

Surely you have something you miss. You're not that young.

[breakspromises]

That...must've been very hard.

[Doesn't know if she could do something like that.]

[fingersloophole]

Necessary. [Which isn't to say it wasn't hard but it blunts it somewhat when there wasn't a choice.] Thank you for your sympathies.

[breakspromises]

I'm sure you'll find someone you'll care about just as much. [She's tryin to optimistic for you Tseng. You're welcome lol]

[fingersloophole]

No one I would inflict my lifestyle upon, but thank you for the sentiment. [He'll resist it! Hard!]
