Aboard the Invincible: Head of State Meeting

[tidesnpcs.livejournal.com]

[Come one, come all. It's time for what Regent Cid expects to be the final council meeting before Garland is defeated. A good thing the airship is so enormous, because there are a lot of people here, all picked up the day before.

He stands up at the head of the table to greet everyone. There isn't sitting room for everyone, but the room is big enough for his audience. The meeting has now begun...]

Seriously?

[He's not getting the smile or the basis of that decision at all. Oblivious derp is oblivious and derpy.]

[Ursula knows, and just shakes her head.]

She wants to be with Palom.

[lunarianlegacy.livejournal.com]

Huh?

[He's not quite making the connection... oh wait. Now it's making sense!]

OH! Does he know?

[petalwhirlwind.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure, yet...but he's a bright person. He'll figure it out.

[Ceodore would happily help a bro out and tell the guy, but he gets a clue from what she said that maybe he better let Palom figure that stuff out for himself.]

Guess so.

You feel any better?

[Ursula leans in to brush her lips against his briefly. They can't get away with much where they are and she's mindful of that, but...right then, she just needed to.]

Yes. Thank you.

[lunarianlegacy.livejournal.com]

[Maybe they can't, but Ceodore's happy to take what he can get.]

Sure.

[He grows thoughtful, then leans in to speak quietly.]

You know... if we stay, there's no reason we can't be together.

[It's the only silver lining to be found in this whole mess.]

[petalwhirlwind.livejournal.com]

[That isn't enough to erase Ursula's misery entirely, but it does indeed give her something positive to think about, and she needs that badly right now. She nods slowly, a small hope dawning.]

That's true...and even if my parents do arrive, that wouldn't change.

[They aren't heirs to far-flung kingdoms, not here....]

[lunarianlegacy.livejournal.com]

Right. And we can make mine see reason.

[Ursula gets another hug at the mention of her parents. He understands how important family is now, and is grateful for the presence of his. Not that he'd wish Fabul leaderless, but he's holding out hope that Ursula's reunited with her own parents as well.]

[Hugs are always welcome. Ursula relaxes a bit more in that embrace.]

I think so. Besides, Cecil is my godfather, after all.

[So that makes him family in a way, already.]
