mooglenet_backup[There's a soft, frustrated sigh as the sky phone begins recording, as well as the sound of bare feet pacing along a hard floor. Rydia's voice is heard a moment later, worriedly muttering to herself.]
--nothing wrong with my soul. Just because I--[paces out of range for a moment]--doesn't mean...anything. I'm fine.
[A soft huff, then the footsteps grow distant. Rydia pauses by her door, then opens it. The hour is fairly late, but she's unable to rest, remembering a certain meeting all too well. Instead of another fruitless attempt, the green-haired summoner paces down the castle hallways. Might as well give into the urge for some aimless wandering and perhaps see if there are any other insomniacs to encounter.]

Date: 2010-03-15 01:54 am (UTC)It means I don't have a distraction from my thoughts. And I don't like where they're headed right now.

Date: 2010-03-15 11:08 pm (UTC)I can always distract you.
[Action]
Date: 2010-03-15 11:53 pm (UTC)How?
[Action]
Date: 2010-03-16 12:32 am (UTC)If you'd rather talk instead.
[Action]
Date: 2010-03-16 01:26 am (UTC)I don't, but...I probably should.
...I didn't tell you about the epitaph invasion, did I?
[Action]
Date: 2010-03-16 01:37 am (UTC)I think that was before I arrived.
[Action]
Date: 2010-03-16 02:49 am (UTC)A couple of months ago, there was a global epitaph attack. They're weird beings that spit out copies of you or a companion. Most of us Sky People had never seen one before, and were easily thrown off-guard when they attack. Kain's double found me and...I didn't survive.
[Action]
Date: 2010-03-16 03:23 am (UTC)Kain killed you? No wonder you can't sleep.
[Action]
Date: 2010-03-16 03:38 am (UTC)It wasn't him, it was a double. All of the doubles were trying to kill people, no matter who they were. I should have been more relentless, but at first I thought he was being controlled again.
...but there's more to the story.
[Action]
Date: 2010-03-17 01:19 am (UTC)You tried to be relentless against Kain? I'm surprised you were able to lift your whip against him.
[He wonders what more there could be.]
[Action]
Date: 2010-03-17 02:44 am (UTC)You don't think I could have flattened him, with the power I hold? Don't forget, Lord Bahamut gave me his favor.
[Not bragging, just being blunt. She pushes back her annoyance to press on.]
...I just didn't think I'd need to use it. Anyway...a week later, I woke up at the Iifa Tree. Years ago, it filtered the souls of the dead and spat them back out in the form of Mist, or something like that. Only, it's not doing that anymore. I woke up alive and uninjured.
Everything should be fine...but Anima's fayth told me that a part of my soul is still in the Mist.
[Action]
Date: 2010-03-18 08:38 pm (UTC)Of course you're strong enough.
[But I don't think you'd raise a hand to him.]
Enough about Kain. I'm concerned about you, your soul.
[Action]
Date: 2010-03-19 01:52 am (UTC)I wish I could say that it won't make a difference, but...I don't know. Not for certain, anyway.

Date: 2010-03-20 02:46 am (UTC)[But that soft tone and small smile say that she doesn't seem to mind, this time.]
[Action]
Date: 2010-03-20 03:43 pm (UTC)[The quip was practically instinctual, before he caught himself from going too far.]
[Covering her hand with his.]
I'm just glad you're safe.
[Action]
Date: 2010-03-20 11:51 pm (UTC)Thanks, Edge. Maybe I should just be grateful for that instead of flailing about what could be wrong.
[That look in her eyes says that she won't be able to let it go that easily, though. She automatically moves a little closer, stifling a yawn.]

Date: 2010-03-21 10:06 pm (UTC)...should try to sleep....
[But she doesn't move. Give her a minute....]
[Action]
Date: 2010-03-22 02:44 am (UTC)I'm not going anywhere.
