No it's fine... I.. don't want to go to Auron's place right now. Sora might see me there and run off... I'd rather he be able to visit the people that make him comfortable.

[ Sorry, Terra, your younger brother here is stubborn. ]

What about when you want to visit the people who make you comfortable?

[Sheesh.]

Alright. I'll stay with you in the forest then.

Wh...at? No! You don't need to stay in the forest... I was planning on asking a friend of mine if they had room...

Good.

[Terra is gonna kick Squall's ass.]

Don't stay in the forest by yourself. If they won't let you stay, I'll stay with you.

[ Big bro why.... ]

I don't see... why the forest is such a big deal.

Because you're by yourself. Did you at least tell someone you were there?

[ A long pause of silence... ]

Not... really.

[That's what he thought.]

That's why.

I doubt anyone even notices I'm gone. It's fine...

That isn't true. I know you don't believe that.

[ he sighs softly. ]

I feel like they should think that though.

No one should, and no one does. We're your friends. When you're away, it feels like we're missing something.

The same with you, right?

I... really want to punch you right now for being so comforting... I was supposed to be comforting you.

Maybe you are... just by talking to me.

Maybe but still... I shouldn't be the one whining and complaining here.

That's okay. [He had asked.] Sometimes, it's good to know you're not alone. Especially when you feel bad.

[ He lets out a soft sigh and falls silent for a long moment. ]

Hey Terra...?

[He’s patient.]

Mm?

Where... are you right now?

The beach. By the port.

Stay there... okay?

Okay. I won’t go anywhere.

Promise... you wont leave?

I promise. I’ll be here.

[ Squall cuts off their link and starts heading out there. It takes a long time for Squall to actually reach him. Even after being here for a couple years, Squall's sense of direction wasn't really the best so he lost his way a couple times and got turned right around. But eventually... EVENTUALLY!!!

Squall makes it to the beach. He doesn't even try to sneak up on Terra this time, just approaching him with his boots making loud crunching sounds in the sand. Whether Terra was standing or sitting, Squall without a word wraps his arms around Terra from behind. ]
