Pink sky by dawn - was that good or bad for sailors? One or the other. After a little consideration. Bartz decided he wasn't a sailor so he didn't care
And after he found himself somewhere completely different? He still didn't care. Because wherever he'd ended up, it was nice. Beautiful. He cared more about getting a better look at the flowers - would they press nicely? - than the idea of there being anyone else around.
Until, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed a woman arming herself.
"Hey! Lady, you okay? There's nothing around here."
A pink sky. For all Squall knew that could hardly bode well. He was fairly certain no one had actually summoned a Lunar Cry, but still it wasn't a good sign by any stretch of the imagination.
Finding himself abruptly in another place only made things worse. It couldn't be Time Compression again... could it? They'd gotten rid of Ultimecia. And yet... here he was in a place that he'd never seen before. A place he couldn't possibly have known, and yet here he was. Quite naturally, he started to reach for Lionheart.
Or at least, he did right up until he spotted a familiar face.
And just before she could hear and respond to Bartz, the memory closed around Fang. She straightened up from her fighting stance with a grin, not returning the spear to its holster but leaning on it as though it was a walking staff, squinting just a little in the light of the setting sun to see the figure approaching. "Vanille! Did you find anythin' out there?"
"You better believe it!" Vanille punctuated her statement with a giggle and a jab of her fist into the air, rising up on one foot at the same time - and nearly overbalancing and dropping all the fruit she was carrying. "Whoaaaa!"
Fang burst into laughter at that, setting her spear on the ground and starting forward, stepping around the ring of a campfire that hadn't yet been lit to take some of her burden from her as the younger woman regained her balance. "So that's why you insisted you didn't need the basket, then - you wanted more practice in trippin' and fallin
( ... )
"Squall! Any clue what's going on here?" Bartz yelled, waving. Everyone but him was waving weapons around, he felt a little left out. "Wait. ...Vanille?" He had head the name before but couldn't quite recall who it belonged to. He certainly couldn't see its owner anywhere.
After a second or so of watching Fang act out the memory, he turned back to Squall.

"Bartz?"
Had the cycle started up again?

"Is she...okay? Think we should get help?"
