Me too, I think. Relieved or-

-I dunno. Something.

[heavenslament.livejournal.com]

It's done. I understand.

...what are you going to do now?

[She doesn't want to pressure him to visit Figaro, even if she always wants to see him.]

[warkitoff.livejournal.com]

...I think- Think I need a favour.

[heavenslament.livejournal.com]

What is it, Bartz?

[warkitoff.livejournal.com]

...this old music box. I don't want it anymore. If I keep it with me then- but- I want to know it's safe.

Think you could look after it for me?

[heavenslament.livejournal.com]

[She nods readily.]

Yes, of course. I would be glad to take care of it for you.

[warkitoff.livejournal.com]

Thanks, I owe you one.

[And for the first time in a while, he's pretty okay with the idea that owing someone means he's tied to them.]

Guess I better head back to drop it off, hadn't I?

[heavenslament.livejournal.com]

Right! I'll see you soon?

[warkitoff.livejournal.com]

Might be a while. Gonna go by- by the water kinda boat. I've got all the time in the world now, might as well not rush.

[heavenslament.livejournal.com]

That's fine, Bartz. Just let me know when you arrive.

[warkitoff.livejournal.com]

I will. You okay? Sorry for- well.

[heavenslament.livejournal.com]

No, don't apologize. You had to figure it out for yourself.

[Though that's much easier to say and live with now that Bartz is staying.]

[warkitoff.livejournal.com]

Nah, I think I needed someone to talk at.

Lix is really- I'm gone from it forever, huh? Feels pretty weird.

[heavenslament.livejournal.com]

I guess it must be, but...what you're doing now, helping us against Garland? That will help keep Lix safe, too. Matoya said this was affecting all the worlds, right? So, you're still doing what you can for your town.

[warkitoff.livejournal.com]

Heh, dunno why Garland'd want anything to do with Lix. One-chocobo town, out in the middle of nowhere. Primary exports are sheep and idiot mimes. Not the best of strategic targets.

[heavenslament.livejournal.com]

[She chuckles.]

Then I'm sure it will be fine. You'll have no reason to worry about it.

[warkitoff.livejournal.com]

It'll be just fine. Guess we just better make sure Gaia's fine, too.
