[Hello again, Luceti. Rosa has woken up... in the town proper this time. on the outskirts. Hopefully no one steps on her, that would suck. Once she's sat up, realizing where she is... she sighs. She remembers all too well of this place.

So. Journal in hand? Check. Time to broadcast.]

My return here is not any more comfortable than the last times I was here, and it seems as if the Malnosso have made up their mind now. [Sigh. Rosa goes quiet, stops the broadcast, and is now on the move to retrieve her things.]

[There will be more hugs in the future too, I'm sure.]

Yes, I'm glad there was good news instead of depressing news. Knowing that those I hold close are happy makes myself happy in turn.

[Or at least, no giving her depressing information if he doesn't have to. Kain is too glad to have Rosa back to want to upset her.]

We married on a ship, on the latest draft. Both of us felt it was the best way to handle it. We've been very happy, although it's only been a matter of weeks we've been married.

[He hesitates. Should he be honest in expressing this sentiment? It's hard to be honest at Rosa still, only because HE'S NOT USED TO IT.]

But I've missed you. We all have.

[Action]

On a ship? How exciting! Was it at sea already, or was it still at port?

...I know. I think I knew of this place in my dreams every so often. I missed you too. [Part of the reason is because in the not!Luceti world you're on a freaking mountain, Kain.]

[Action]

[dragoon-pride.livejournal.com]

We were at sea. Rydia and I... didn't want to delay any longer, so we sought out ...a captain.

[Kain is still unsure how or if it's possible to fully explain Jack Sparrow, in general.]

It feels like a long time since you were last here.

[HE WENT TO THE MOUNTAIN FOR ALL OF YOUR OWN GOOD.]

It sounds very exciting! Did you have to swashbuckle your way to marriage? [A light laugh. That would be super exciting though!]

I think it has been some time. I feel like I've been here much longer than I might have been.

[Action]

[Kain thinks of Jack and some of the... unique things that were said in his ceremony.]

We practically did, yes. It was an exciting way for it to happen.

[He looks wistful a moment, thinking of Rydia and how happy they both were on that day.]

It's been almost a year since I've last seen you. Did much time pass for you at home?

[Action]

[holyblade.livejournal.com]

...no, actually. It was as if I had never left.

[Action]

[dragoon-pride.livejournal.com]

But it sounds as if you've forgotten nothing of this world, at least...

[Which is good. Also partially awkward because of some of the past experiments they've been through, but he's sure Rosa holds nothing against him. His crotch will never forget Holy.]

[Action]

[holyblade.livejournal.com]

No, not in the least, though things have certainly changed here.

[Not so much. It shouldn't. She'd do it again if she had to.]

[Action]

[dragoon-pride.livejournal.com]

Some things have... Some have not. Cecil for instance left, returned, left again... and returned. Have you seen him yet?

[For his crotch's sake he hopes it doesn't happen again.]

[Action]

[holyblade.livejournal.com]

[BUT WHY NOT IT COULD BE SO MUCH FUN.For the sake of argument...]

No, not yet. Spoken, though.

[Action]

[dragoon-pride.livejournal.com]

[Kain's manparts say otherwise!]

Then perhaps I should let you know, he comes from a future time... Ceodore's time. He's still the same Cecil despite that.

[Action]

[holyblade.livejournal.com]

I see... well, that's all right. I do not doubt he is the same Cecil we knew.

[Action]

[dragoon-pride.livejournal.com]

He is, of course... and he's missed you.

[It's good to be able to say things like this without inwardly angsting about it anymore. He has enough other things to angst about, anyway.]

[Action]

[holyblade.livejournal.com]

I'm sure I'll be seeing him soon enough as well. We'll be all right here.

[Action]

[dragoon-pride.livejournal.com]

We will be... I don't plan to ever leave if I can help it.

[And even more now, because with Rosa, everyone important is now here.]

[Action]

[holyblade.livejournal.com]

You... would not leave? [The marriage thing maybe?]

[Action]

[dragoon-pride.livejournal.com]

[That would be it, exactly.]

I have too much here that I don't want to lose.

[Action]

[holyblade.livejournal.com]

I suppose... but what will happen if we're forced to leave?

[Action]

[dragoon-pride.livejournal.com]

I don't want to think of that, Rosa. I couldn't bear to forget... to go back to where I was...

[Kain really did feel that he had nothing. All he'd had left was his quest for redemption, something he's not even sure he'd have been able to achieve.]

[Action]

[holyblade.livejournal.com]

Maybe something will linger in your mind if you're forced to return. Something that will bring you back to Baron. It's a possibility. You never know what might happen and what the Malnosso might be able to do when we're sent back. [Rosa's just going to set her hand on Kain's now, to hopefully reassure him a little.]

[Action]

[dragoon-pride.livejournal.com]

[For himself and Rydia both to remember... 'I hope so,' Kain mouths this and looks at Rosa. Even now, he's still encouraged by her touch. She's always been, like Cecil, one of his most loyal friends. Despite what a bad, awful person he thinks he is. So he does feel some reassurance from her doing that.]

[Action]

[holyblade.livejournal.com]

Even if you don't remember everything, perhaps something good will happen from any memories you keep. Think of it that way. Things will work out, just believe in that.

[Action]

[dragoon-pride.livejournal.com]

I wish to keep all of the memories I can, if it's possible. It's very important to me.

[So important he'd give anything to have it be so.]

[Action]

[holyblade.livejournal.com]

We'll find a way.
