[Wow, they've come so far from the Odine bangle fiasco haven't they.]
Since you're the only actual SeeD here, I'm totally okay with acting as your backup like a proper SeeD would! Everything does seem really nice here, so I think I know what you mean.
[It's nice, being able to tease each other like this. She really appreciates it.]
Maybe that's why we've grown so much. There's always been someone else around to put out our issues and I'm pretty sure none of us have been comfortable lately.
[ Welcome to the future! But even then, part of Quistis's reaction had been out of just... well. It was complicated. Part of it was her bottling in her feelings about Seifer's supposed death, taking out petty jealousy (not even necessarily related to Seifer) out on her, and a million other tiny little things. She could have explained the situation more succinctly, but she had been frustrated, too. She was a civilian and the fact she felt the need to insert herself where she was told not to just to "prove" herself, ugh.
She doesn't want to think about it. ]
Hopefully it will not come to that. I'm hoping that things remain as quiet and comfortable as they've been. I've never really lived a "quiet" life as a civilian. I'm so use to fighting.
[ She keeps her concerns to herself (and, of course, broods about them. Fighting is what she does. She feels useless here. She defines herself as a member of Garden, as a top-ranking SeeD. Neither of those things exist here and she's not sure how to identify herself anymore. ]
Something like that. Being with people all the time like we are, we're sure to forge bonds. I know you don't have the same memories and connection that the rest of us do, but that doesn't make you any different. I think that just like we all belong together that you also belong with us. And if we were to forget again, that we would all find our way back to one another. Somehow.
[ They didn't forget, but that's what will happen with Time Compression, right? Proof enough, there. ]
[Months later and she still feels the need to prove herself more often than not. She loves her friends deeply, but they're all so good at what they do! It's both intimidating and depressing at the same time since she's still convinced she doesn't measure up to them at all.
The past is the past for a reason, they totally don't have to talk about it. Ever.]
Well of course! Being backup is good for things that aren't fighting too you know. [Shopping, date advice, and random dumb are all viable options. Though maybe this just shows she has a weird idea of how it is for SeeDs who knows.] Well you've got a chance now! So we should make the most of it.
Wow! You really mean it? I know I'm not a SeeD, but I'll do my best to stay with everyone. [No more trying to get locked into living comas honest!] Of course! [Oh man, Rinoa's in fine spirits now.] It's a whole new world here and we still found each other!
