After a while Irvine spotted Squall and without hesitation, wrapped his around his shoulder and asked, "I was hoping to go out into the city and maybe take in some of the culture...then I figured you could use a little loosening up, interested?"

"It depends on what you had in mind."

"I dunno man, go to a few bars, go see some ladies, hit a few of the hot spots...ya know cruise around, have fun..."
Irvine was wondering if Squall would do it, but figured he knew his commander better than he knew the back of a woman's bra.

Part of her nervous energy had less to do with visiting her son and more to do with stepping foot in the Garden for the visit. Last time she was there, it was in the aftermath of Rinoa's rampage. Being held captive in there and watching Ellone be tortured really didn't help matters in the least.
Steeling herself to put that all aside, she took a deep breath, collected her wits and the baby, and strolled out the door with a warning. "I'm leaving with or without you." Slai scampered to her side and grasped hold of her hand. "I have Slai with me."

Once Raine called for her, she returned to the door, heading out with the girls. "I'm coming!" She'd grown so used to just the four of them that for a minute she forgot Uncle Laguna was there, too. "Want me to hold onto Slai?"

Still. There was nothing to be afraid of, was there? This was supposed to be a happy occasion. Man, but he hoped Squall liked him. He seemed like he might be a hard kid to impress.
"Sorry," he apologized when he finally appeared, running the last few steps to catch up with Raine and Ellone. "Sorry. I'm ready."
((Sorry I'm so late! I missed this getting posted while I was out of town!))

Satisfied as much as she would be that they were ready to go, she set out to lead the way, although with each step, her dread grew. Once they were at the entrance, she inquired for Squall, and shot a look over her shoulder at the rest of the family. It was as if to ask, Are we ready for this?
