[Rinoa doesn't even notice the almost salute, she's honestly too busy paying attention to other things. Like how he's now at the perfect hug height now that he's standing. He might not be much of a hug person, but she is and so she gives him one anyway. If she clings a little well, who can blame her.
Until.. seriously?]
Squall! I haven't seen you in months and the first thing you ask me about in person is my jacket?? [She's not mad, in fact she's actually laughing instead. Leave it to Squall to focus on something like that a time like this.] It was a present! Someone made it for me for this holiday called Christmas.
[She's refused to wear any other coat or jacket since.]

[ Hugs are still foreign concepts to him, especially coming from Rinoa and Quistis. But, his arms aren't just hanging by his sides... in fact they'll come up and hug Rinoa back... awkwardly.
Does he kiss the top of her head? SQUINTS ]
Well... It looks like mine for one thing... [ is she still wearing Griever? ] Christmas?

[Practice makes perfect, Squall. Sounds like they just need to make hugging a regular thing.
He'd better, because it'll make her all warm and gooey inside for the next several weeks. Rinoa's not going to bother moving away either, at least not just yet, maybe in a few minutes.]
It's supposed to! I wanted something I could wear that'd remind me of you! [She's not going to tel Squall that the Landlord made her forget him for a while.
Would she go anywhere without it?]
Christmas is great! It's kind of like the Winter Solstice back home. Presents, time spent with friends, and stuff like that!

[ he's quiet, because it's just so Rinoa, so like her to have something to remind her of him. ]
And my ring? Are you telling me it doesn't remind you of me?
[ he doesn't let go either, just... lets himself hold her and she hold him for a while. ]
...Why's it called a different name when it's just the same thing?

What? So I'm only allowed one reminder now? And this one is practical, because it keeps me warm. So you should like that, right?
[The implication being that he's practical naturally.
She'd honestly expected him to start moving away by now, so the fact that he doesn't keeps a goofy smile on her face. Maybe he'll learn to get used to this hug stuff after all.]
Easy! Because it's not exactly the same. We don't have anything like Santa! He's a big man with super powerful magic! He makes presents for all the kids everywhere on the planet and he delivers them all in only a night!
[And she's even met him, so she's a huge believer.]

[Who could forget Rinoa? When Rinoa goes out to her mailbox she'll find one overstuffed back full of sugary candies, and attached to it is a card just for her.]
Rinoa's Card
[ Rinoa also gets more than Squall (but less than Selphie because, let's be honest: Selphie deserves it... and maybe Quistis missed her more than she's letting on). There are two packages: one with three cupcakes in it and one with some odd dozen or so cookies, inside.
Included, is a note:
Rinoa:
Happy Valentine's Day. Do try not to eat it all in a short period of time and become ill.
- Quistis.
How sweet and thoughtful... she's concerned about your health, Rinoa... ]

I guess. [ he shrugs—or at least he shrugs from his position. He's always practical! Sort of... considering the three belts he has. ]
Uh huh. [ one night... isn't that impossible to do? ] More powerful than a Sorceress?

[After she spends a few moments gleefully celebrating his arrival.]
Hm. I don't know.
We've had a cactuar here for a while so that can't be it.
Are you..... a chocobo? How do chocobos type anyway? Do you just beak at the keyboard?
[Sometimes Rinoa is the worst friend.]

[After juuuust long enough to give him a little time to stew.]
Just kidding! I can't believe you're really here. Now if only Irvine would show up, we'd have the whole set!
Did you just get here? We should meet up. Actually, we should all meet up. As a group. It's a party when we talk Selphie into going and it's not a party when we tell Squall and Quistis.
But it's totally a party. :) We've got a lot to celebrate after all!
[And she never did get to go to their big celebratory party back home.]

[She's been taking Seifer lessons. Or Squall. Everyone loves picking on him. :<
Squatting down to sulk until her second message came in.]
Met up with Quitis already.
Think she had my name on alert.
Can you even do that???
Selphie would love that.
No instruments this time, right?
[He wasn't even sure how they managed last time or if they were any good. Rinoa got the guy though, so their performance had to be something, right?]

[Oh please, Rinoa's always loved to tease. She's just in a situation where it's a lot easier to tease now. Holly Heights might have problems, but it's still a comfortable place overall.]
She just pays attention to that sort of stuff. I thinks she notices when we're here before we even notice we're here.
That's just how she is.
I don't think so? You know I'm no good with this stuff. You should ask Selphie.
Before you know it she's going to have a party planning business.
She's already talking about forming a band, so you might get drafted again.
But no instruments this time! Just good friends and good food. Who could argue with that?
[Oh right, Squall.]
Just leave Squall to me. ;)

[He likes it better when its aimed at Squall.]
She's good at that.
Selphie might have it already planned.
Don't tell me that.
I'm down for it. Let me know when and where.
And he's all yours.

[No worries, he still gets the brunt of it.]
Yup! She's good at a lot of stuff though, so I shouldn't be surprised.
A party planning company would suit her, wouldn't it?
You might be off the hook, there are a lot of people here.
I'll let you know when I can get the others in on it.
Good!
Until then, you and me, lunch? I'll show you around my favorite cafe!
[It's full of video games and manga, he'll fit right in.]

Rinoa-san,
Hey! I haven't written a card in quite a while... guess the system here has spoiled me a little! But it's okay, sometimes a bit of practice helps remember what is it like, so I hope this will do. We can't improve if we don't try!
I... don't think I've ever spoken to you until now? Yes, I'm very aware of that. Maybe it's silly to expect people to just accept someone's written/spoken words without any back-up! But I guess this can be a starter of sorts. It's better late than never, and I love the idea of making someone happy with either big tings or little details!
So yes, here it is! Even if I cannot tell you who I am... rest assured that if I ever learn you need something, I'll go help you as soon as I can. And yep, I made the chocolates myself; I hope they're to your liking!
-- Me! =D

It would definitely!
She would have the whole thing filled with balloons.
Don't jinx it!!!
Sure! Where do you want to meet?
[That sounds perfect.]
If she doesn't mention one soon, I'm going to suggest it to her.
Balloons and streamers everywhere. Maybe some surprise confetti bombs?
Oops! I'll try not to jinx it any more than I already have. Sorry.
What's your house number? I'll walk over and we can go over together?
[It's one of the most perfect things she's ever seen.]

Hopefully no one teaches her how to make
her own fire works...
1429! I have two "dads"
Don't even think about it.
Thinking about it leads to nightmares.
Great! I'll be there soon.
[But not too soon, since she's texting as she walks now.]
How are they?
Are they nice??
The first thing my "dad" did was hit on me. It was kind of creepy.
I think Quistis chewed him out.

Too late.
I can just see her now yelling BOOM.
Let me know when you're close.
They are okay I guess.
Both from the same world.
They have accents.
WHOA. That's weird.
Good thing Quistis chewed him out.
You should have kicked him.

There goes the neighborhood.
Of course she would. "The boom's the best part!"
I live at 1440. I was close from the start!
They don't sound so bad.
Are they at least friends?
It'd be awkward living in a house with enemies.
It's not really that weird.
He's probably only a year older than us.
I thought about it. He kept calling me stuff like doll!
[If he's paying any attention to the street he'll see her approach. It's kind of easy to spot her.]

[There was a small box with a post-it note stuck on the outside.]
The note says to share, so here!

]So does this mean I'm supposed to leave yours in a box on your porch too?
Because I was thinking I'd just bring it over myself.
Anyway, it was delicious, thanks Zell!
Since I got your Macaron first, you can have first pick of mine if you want?
I've got a pink one, two purple ones, a yellow one, a green one, and a brown one.
