[Action - Figaro]

[notathiefcole.livejournal.com]

[That felt like the longest ride Locke had spent in an airship. He looked up and saw the familiar sight of Figaro. Never one to stay in one place too long, he was was happy to be here. While Zanarkand sure was a nice place to visit, this was where his friends were.]

[Terra, having needed to chase after Celes, unfortunately couldn't be the one to pick up Locke from his arrival point. However, upon hearing that he has just arrived, the young woman runs through the castle at top speed. She won't stop until she's found him.]

[Any signs of apprehension at having to find his own way here disappears as Locke spots the familiar streak running through the castle.]

Terra!!

[He rushes towards the summoner.]

[Cue glomping in 3...2...1....]

[Cue falling in 3.]

oompf.

[Not that it matters to him, he's just happy to be home.]

[heavenslament.livejournal.com]

[Eep.]

Are you alright? Did I hurt you??

[notathiefcole.livejournal.com]

[Locke just hugs her back, grinning from the floor.]

You couldn't hurt me. Just glad to be back.

[heavenslament.livejournal.com]

[She clings.]

I missed you so much....

[notathiefcole.livejournal.com]

[So not letting go.]

I won't go away again.

[heavenslament.livejournal.com]

[Sniffle.]

Good. You're not allowed to leave.

[An hour or so later, when Celes herself finally turns up, she hears of Locke's arrival and heads over to wherever he's made himself comfortable.]

[notathiefcole.livejournal.com]

[And comfortable he is. Sitting in the castle supports, he takes a small catnap clearly not expecting Celes back so soon. It feels extremely comfortable to be back somewhere familiar and he can relax knowing that his friends are safe.]

[She's not expecting him to be asleep, so she hesitates before sitting down across from him, a few feet away.]

Locke...?

[notathiefcole.livejournal.com]

[He'd recognize that voice anywhere, causing him to suddenly stir and drop lightly to his feet.]

[So many things to say and not knowing what to say he rubs his bandanna.]

You're already back! I didn't think I'd get to see you until tomorrow.

[magitekrune.livejournal.com]

[She looks up at him, arms resting on her knees.]</small. It's only been a couple of days. You didn't think I'd avoid you, did you?

This is more like Locke!

[notathiefcole.livejournal.com]

Just surprised!

[He quickly adjusts his bandanna.]

Now I don't have to wait until tomorrow.

fffff html fail |D

[magitekrune.livejournal.com]

[She can offer a smile anyway.]

I figured you should see me at some point anyway. How was your trip?

[Conversation... keep it light.]

S'ok

[notathiefcole.livejournal.com]

Of course! I hurried here as fast as I could.

[He rubs at his bandanna.]

You'd think Edgar wanted you for himself, sending you on a mission the day I got here.

[Setzer's been looking into options to replace the wings he's had to leave behind, but for the time being, he's still in Figaro. And besides, why would he miss a friends arrival?]

[notathiefcole.livejournal.com]

[Locke grins seeing the 'ol gambler]

Setzer!

[wanderlusting.livejournal.com]

Did you expect anyone else?

[notathiefcole.livejournal.com]

I didn't expect you to be sitting around here. Where are you hiding that airship?

[wanderlusting.livejournal.com]

I'm afraid she didn't seem to want to come with me.

[He's not really pleased about it, although he makes a decent attempt at hiding it.]

[notathiefcole.livejournal.com]

[No problem. It's just a little bigger than the normal treasures he hunts.]

We'll find it!

[wanderlusting.livejournal.com]

That's quite the feat, there.

[not that he's complaining!]

[notathiefcole.livejournal.com]

[Locks tips his bandanna knowing they can do it.]
