3 ♥ I realize that nothing's as it seems [Video]

[The snow of Narshe is shown as Firion sits upon a boulder, blue cloak wrapped around himself. His breath comes out in white fog as he gazes about the area.]

It has been a long time since I have seen snow. I fear I am not quite as used to this weather as I used to be, but I think it's alright otherwise. I suppose I will miss it as Cloud and I go to the Black Mage Village to retrieve Fenrir.

[Despite the fact that he has no idea what Fenrir is, traveling has always been fun for him. Seeing new places intrigues him. A small breeze flutters his hair and decorative bandanna and he huddles a bit more in his cloak, shivering. But he laughs anyway.]

I wonder how my friends at home are doing. I hope they are well.

[Contemplative Firion is contemplative.]

[At first, she was going to wave at Firion and give her 'hellos' but once she heard him utter Cloud's name, Aerith cheerfulness dwindled a little. She could have sworn that Cloud was still in Lindblum with Tifa and the others but it seems that he's ran off again, this time after something called 'Fenrir'.]

Retrieve Fenrir? What's that? Why are you--[She bites her tongue before she finished that sentence.]

...You're friends? You mean you have other friends than Cloud, right?

I don't know what Fenrir is. Cloud said that he needed to get it.



As for why, you should probably ask Cloud. It isn't my story to tell.



Yes, I do. Friends from my world.

[Giving Firion a skeptical glance, a million and one thoughts began to plague her mind once she realized that Tifa was alone again. Letting out a slight sigh, Aerith spoke.] I'll be sure to ask him but I can bet it won't be a private call.

[A tad perplexed as to why Cloud taken to Firion so much, Aerith tries to find the right words to say to him.]

So, who are you? You told me last time about the Void, Cloud and you both but you didn't say anything as to who you are.

I am... I'm... just a friend to Cloud, I suppose.

I'm from a town called Salamand. I joined the revel army called the Wild Rose to fight back against the Emperor who killed the people who took care of me. And I am still looking for a friend named Leon.

I... I don't know what else to tell you.

[Summoner child looking at you fairly confused.]

Why do you need to go there to see Fenrir? Are you a summoner?

[video]

[thisdesertrose.livejournal.com]

Ah, no, I'm not talking about the monster. I think Fenrir is the name of something Cloud owns... I'll have to ask him.

[video]

[lastsummoner.livejournal.com]

Fenrir's not a monster. He's an eidolon. Cloud has one? That's strange, he didn't mention having an eidolon. Or maybe he named a something after the eidolon.

Tell the mages and genomes hi for me, okay?

[video]

[thisdesertrose.livejournal.com]

Fenrir is a monster where I am from. Cloud is not a summoner, so I'm sure he named something after the summon.

I'll tell them hi!

Are you going to come back and visit after you get Cloud's motorcycle?

[video]

[thisdesertrose.livejournal.com]

We should be. I think Cloud was able to think a lot on this trip.

[video]

[littleprotector.livejournal.com]

It's something you ride on! Like a chocobo... but mechanical! I'm sure Cloud can explain it to you better.

Good! He needed to think. [And get schooled over the phone, but we'll let that little tidbit slide for now.]

[video]

[thisdesertrose.livejournal.com]

A mechanical... chocobo...?



Yes, he did. I just hope it was enough time for Tifa to also think. I would rather not hear an argument again upon returning home.

[heartofheaven.livejournal.com]

Is that snow? Are you in the far north, Firion?

[voice]

[thisdesertrose.livejournal.com]

Yes, it is. I believe this place is called Narshe? Either way, we won't be long here. Cloud needs to pick something up and then I believe he will finally return home.

[voice]

[heartofheaven.livejournal.com]

Of course, Fenrir. Will you be coming back to Lindblum too?

[voice]

[thisdesertrose.livejournal.com]

Yes, I will. I... want to be sure everything is alright and I promised Marlene.

[Smiling into the camera with such a bright smile, Edward looks more fascinated with the snowy backdrop than the young man upon the video.] A land blanketed by endless snow? How beautiful...

[video]

[thisdesertrose.livejournal.com]

Yes, it's very beautiful.



Have you ever been to the mountains before?

[video]

[melodiesoflute.livejournal.com]

I envy you just a tad for I have never been to the mountains before. Tell me, where are you currently? I never seen a land some pure in hue.

[Rydia stares past him at the landscape.]

That's a lovely view, but I'm not used to that weather, either. Once was really enough for me.

[Then something echoes back to her and she tilts her head, curious.]

...did you say 'Fenrir'?

[Video]

[thisdesertrose.livejournal.com]

It isn't so bad. I did. I'm not sure what Cloud is referring to, however. I doubt it's the monster or the summon.

[Video]

[eidolon-soul.livejournal.com]

Ah, I see. I'm a summoner, so mention of the Eidolons always gets my attention. This Fenrir showed up randomly at the Black Mage Village?

Sounds like what happened with the Lunar Whale....

[thisdesertrose.livejournal.com]

I am.
