[Phone call to Tifa / Laguna] / [possible action for people in Dali]

[winhillstime.livejournal.com]

[Ring, ring, Tifa. She's got a quick question or two. ]

[you, too, Uncle Laguna. It'll be weird to see her number popping up, but that's because she's pretty far out in the fields right now, not near the village itself for the moment.]



[She's taking a little time away from duties and household things to think about going to see Rinoa. So she's currently sitting among the flowers outside the village. Anyone's welcome to come visit her and/or yell at her for being so far away.]

Uh, yeah, sure, sweetie. Gimme a few minutes and I'll be there soon!

[He hangs up and goes out. Fields are big but he manages to track Ellone and get to get.]

Hey.

[She doesn't look up until she can tell he's really close by. When she does look up, it's clear she's thinking seriously about something.]

Uncle Laguna... [She's not entirely sure how to begin this conversation, so she just stands up and looks across the fields.]

I think I need to go visit someone. A couple of people, really.

[prez-leg-cramp.livejournal.com]

[Well, he didn't know why that caused some serious thinking.]

Well, sure. If you need to visit friends and all, I won't stop you.

Something on your mind?

[winhillstime.livejournal.com]

Rinoa's going to be there.

[Which does and doesn't bother her.]

She... I asked to visit her.

[prez-leg-cramp.livejournal.com]

Oh.

[Well, that explained it. He was still set on believing that Rinoa wasn't entirely in control, even if looking at her sometimes reminded him of the torture he saw.]

What for?

[winhillstime.livejournal.com]

[She doesn't answer for a little, but then she shakes her head and turns to look at him.]

I don't know. I guess I just want to see for myself if it's really... her. I mean, we know how Ultimecia is, what she's capable of. I believe Rinoa...

[But it's still hard.]

She's in Luca right now and I wanted to tell you before I left so someone would know where and why I'm going, but I don't know if Raine would like it very much if I told her why.

[prez-leg-cramp.livejournal.com]

Well, Rinoa will be with other people, right? I think if something were to happen, then you wouldn't be alone.

[He reaches out to pull Ellone to a hug]

Thanks for telling me. And you leave telling Raine to me, okay?

[winhillstime.livejournal.com]

Right. I'll be visiting Tifa, too, so it won't be too bad if anything happens. And I don't... think it will. [But better to be safe than not.

She returns the hug fiercely. She definitely needed the reassurance.]

I was going to just tell her that I was visiting friends, but I wanted you to know. [She sighs.] Everything's suddenly so complicated.

[prez-leg-cramp.livejournal.com]

I'm sure nothing will happen either.

[He squeezes tight and rubs her back before pulling away slightly to look at her face, still holding her close.]

Gaia always makes things complicated, it seems.

[winhillstime.livejournal.com]

Yeah. [She nods.]

I'll let you know how it goes and when I'm coming back.
