Well, I know you wanted to go home, Tieria, but I thought I should tell you!

I'm here for you. Come on by, I took the night off, and we'll talk. I'll steal some of Rikku's ice cream.

Allelujah and Setsuna, I imagine you're not taking it as badly! But there might be enough ice cream for you, too.

Don't patronize me, Lockon.

[remainingpride.livejournal.com]

I'm not patronizing you, Tieria.

[contraposition.livejournal.com]

I'm sure there are plenty of disappointed citizens at that bar of yours. You can push your sympathies on them instead.

[remainingpride.livejournal.com]

Why would I do that when I have you, Tieria?

[contraposition.livejournal.com]

I made a mistake. Your pity is unnecessary.

[remainingpride.livejournal.com]

I don't agree.

[contraposition.livejournal.com]

You think I need you to feel sorry for me?

[remainingpride.livejournal.com]

I think you need me, Tieria!

[contraposition.livejournal.com]

What gives you that idea?

[remainingpride.livejournal.com]

You're the type of guy who needs a guy like me. That's all.

[contraposition.livejournal.com]

That isn't a reason. The last thing I need is to stand around while you eat ice cream and tell me that our last chance at returning to the mission meant nothing and that I should cheer up and become more carefree and human like you.

[remainingpride.livejournal.com]

Well, I'll buy carrots for you next time.

And it doesn't mean nothing, Tieira. Do you think I'm happy to be away from our world with the things that shaped our ideals? But nothing's changing it at the moment, so this is the sort of thing we need to take in stride. You're having the hardest time of it, and I'm just trying to make sure you're okay!

We can go job hunting for you, if you'd prefer.

I thought you'd be happy to be in a world without terror.

[remainingpride.livejournal.com]

This isn't a world without terror. It just pretends to be.

[contraposition.livejournal.com]

You don't need to worry about me. It's not your responsibility to protect me, Lockon.

[remainingpride.livejournal.com]

This is a little different from protecting you, Tieria. You can still handle a gun.

[contraposition.livejournal.com]

That isn't what I meant.
