[Action in Alexandria - Closed to Selphie (And possibly Steiner?)

[warkitoff.livejournal.com]

[True to his word, Bartz didn't have any weapons on his person. His sword had been handed over the the guards and his knives were buried within his luggage on Lin's back. He'd still been forced to leave his cape, it was easier to leave it than it was to prove to the guards that there were no weapons hidden in its' inner pockets. Convincing them that there was nothing suspicious about the bundle of clothes, flask of tea and box of cake he brought with him proved just as difficult but he managed eventually. Without his cloak, he shivered as he was led to the cell. The tea had been a good choice, he decided. The guard opened the door, let him enter the cell, and locked the door behind him.]

So. Heard Alexandria made it illegal to be too cute.

It's okay. It's warm. [She takes a long sip and a smile forms around the cup.]

I'm trying to remember what it was like to be warm.

[He smiles, sighing. You're one of a very short list of people who get themselves in trouble more than he does, Selphie.]

Hang in there, okay? One more day and then grumpy'll pick you up. And you'll have all the cocoa and hot baths and fluffy blankets you want.

And I'll probably be on house arrest but at least Squall won't accuse me of lying.

[He lifts up the cake box, opening it to offer her an Eccles Cake.]

Your time here'll be done. And Squall's reasonable. If you've not done anything wrong, you won't be punished for it in the garden.

I know that. I did grow up with him after all.

Cake? [Selphie accepts the offered sweet and starts nibbling away at it.]

[warkitoff.livejournal.com]

Then you know you've got nothing to worry about once you're outta here. Squall'll listen. And he won't call you a liar.

Cake. I'll leave the box here with you, already cleared it with the guards.

I know, I know. I'm just worried.

[She smiles again. Derpy boys are always so sweet.] Thank you.

[warkitoff.livejournal.com]

You don't need to be. I'll let him know to make sure you have a hot meal waiting for you. Cocoa, too.

['Sweet' is really all he has going for him. He has to play it up.]

No problem. Hang in there, okay? I'm sorry, I know it must suck. But it'll be over soon.

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

Thanks Bartz.

[It cheers her up when she can't be cheerful.]

I just gotta wait and be patient and it totally sucks!
