[Phone Call]

[He had been weighing his decision on this since he had gotten back to Narshe. His conversation with Balthier and Noah had made him look at things a bit differently, and with the state Gaia was in now, there was no time like the present.

So. Ring ring, Lightning. Answer before he chickens out.]

I see. [And here he had thought the same.]

I was reminded by a good friend that one cannot simply wait for things such as these to run their course. While Fate plays a major part in our lives, one must also grasp Fate and make their own path to happiness.

[ The slight smile she gives is evidenced in her tone. ] Heh. Yeah. That's a lesson I learned a while ago.. you'd think I'd have stuck to it.

[bearitproudly.livejournal.com]

I oft forget it myself.

[He laughs lightly.] Perhaps now our conspirators will desist.

[fulminous.livejournal.com]

At the very least, I think my sister will. I'm still trying to figure out who sent me the potholder...

[bearitproudly.livejournal.com]

...potholder?

[A groan. He will never live that down.]

I apologize.

[fulminous.livejournal.com]

Don't be. It's not your fault.

..Thank you, for the book, by the way.

[bearitproudly.livejournal.com]

I am glad you liked it.

[Even though it was just kind of... shoved at him by Balthier. And only noticed t was a book of poetry after reading the first few pages.]

I hope it was not too forward.

[fulminous.livejournal.com]

I didn't think so.. it was.. sweet.

[bearitproudly.livejournal.com]

I am sorry I was not there to deliver it in person then.

[fulminous.livejournal.com]

You were busy, right? It's fine. Really.

[bearitproudly.livejournal.com]

If you count busy as preventing my brother from making a fool of himself with Balthier, then yes.

[fulminous.livejournal.com]

Babysitting is still being busy, isn't it? [ My god, is she teasing him? ]

[bearitproudly.livejournal.com]

[Oh, he's linefacing so hard, Light. Because yes. It is babysitting. Story of his life.]

I fear I might have to chain him down.

[fulminous.livejournal.com]

Think it'll help?

[bearitproudly.livejournal.com]

No, I'm afraid.

[fulminous.livejournal.com]

Still worth a try though, right? If you need help doing it, let me know.

[bearitproudly.livejournal.com]

You would be the first I would call. I would get no assistance from Balthier.

[fulminous.livejournal.com]

[ She grins slightly. ] Can't imagine why.

[bearitproudly.livejournal.com]

He delights in getting any sort of reaction from me. He is worse than Noah some days.

[fulminous.livejournal.com]

[ SIGH. ] I've got a friend who's like that, too. She seems to think it's her duty to try and get a rise out of me.
