“…” Been awhile, hasn’t it? Garden looming off in the distance, and Balamb behind him, it had been some time since he’d returned here. HE wondered how things had been running (more than likely that Xu did a good enough job without him), and everyone who he hadn’t seen.

Releasing a sigh, he came to realize there was an emotional cocktail within him; whether it was worry, or regret, or perhaps excitement, he couldn’t really tell.

Time to come home.

Her usual post was outside the gates of Balamb Garden handing out flyers to any cadet who passed by. Hours spent stalking outside the front gates, occasionally occupying the lobby when cadets and instructors were done with lessons.

Today was no different. Same scorching sun beaming down on her petite form, same people accepting her flyers, same people ignoring them.

An aggravated sigh escaped her lips as she took seat on the edge of the pavement. The heat in the Fire Cavern was nothing compared to the heat wave Balamb was now enduring. It was quite obvious that the nunchaku specialist was way too accustomed to the frosty Trabian cold and had yet to familiarize herself with Balamb’s climate. After awhile, a new wave of cadets emerged from the path from Balamb town. She contemplated whether or not she should continue handing out flyers or just enjoy the sunshine, when her emerald orbs locked on to a familiar black clad figure. “Well, well, well!” Selphie grinned, raising her hand up to her face to shield out the sun. “If it isn’t Commander Grumpypants! You’ll be happy to know that your office is still in one piece!”

lionseed:

“Just… try not to break anything, ok?”

“No promises there, commander!”

lionseed:

“Alright… Then you’re back on active mission duty.”

“Finally! Do you know how boring it is being cooped up in this place all the time, with nothing to do?”

lionseed:

“Naughty things like…? Both you and Bartz were at fault you know.”

“We were really bored and just wanted to see what was on your laptop, that’s all! It won’t happen again, I promise.”

lionseed:

“I wouldn’t be mad at you if you hadn’t gone insane and lit it on fire looking for pornography. I supposed since it’s all fixed now… it’s ok.”

“I told you it wasn’t my fault! Anyway, I wasn’t originally looking for naughty things…”

lionseed:

“…” Wonder what everyone’s up to?

“I…I cleaned your office up. Please don’t be mad at me anymore!”

lionseed:

“…..” Damn it.

“No taking back your offer now! If you do, I’ll totally know you’re hiding something!”

lionseed:

“Fine, whatever, look for pictures that don’t exist. If I find anything in my room out of place, damaged, or even damp, then you’re in deep trouble, you got that?” 

“What? Really? I was only joking…But if you’re offering, I might as well take a quick peek!”

lionseed:

“…Selphie, I do not have any naughty pictures. Is this clear?”

“Soooo you won’t mind me taking a look then, right?”

lionseed:

“-If you’re willing to break apart Garden looking for something, at least ensure that it’s worth it. Just clean up the office please.” If I told her the truth with a straight face she wouldn’t believe me…

“Hmm? Changing the subject, are we?”

lionseed:

“…I feel like you’re missing the point Selphie!”

“I’m not missing anything! You totally have naughty pictures! You’re just as bad as Zell!”

lionseed:

“Don’t get too used to it… If you keep bringing bigger weapons home with you, I’m going to have to kick you out.”

“You wouldn’t do that! You loooove having me around~ Just admit it!" 

lionseed:

“…If you say so. If you do blow anything up… you have to pay to fix it. Just fair warning, alright. I trust you.”

“Awwh, it’s nice hearing you say that, you know?”

lionseed:

“…Selphie, stop this. There is nothing for you to find, especially if it involves you tearing apart Garden to find these things.”

“Are you blushing?! Oh my Hyne! You so totally do!”

lionseed:

“First of all, what did you even expect? Then you set the room on fire. Why didn’t you bring a computer hacker with you? It’s my work computer Selphie. So then, what you’re going to do now, along with Bartz, is clean it up. Even if I had “anything naughty” I wouldn’t hide it in an obvious place…”

“ —Wait! So you’re saying that you do have something naughty somewhere?!”
