Woo, FF9 orgy!

Characters: Garnet, Steiner, and Zidane
Time: Afternoon
Setting: Paixao Central Station
Summary: Garnet goes to the Central Station to meet Steiner, and instead meets Zidane. WTF-ery ensues.
Warnings: Well, we'll get to that when we get to that.

Garnet sighed as she waited at the central station for Captain Steiner. She hadn't honestly expected anyone she knew to be there, but perhaps it was just as well in this case that Steiner was there for her. However, the things he said, she had to admit, were eerily disturbing. This talk of her being queen... Certainly, that would be nothing less than treason, wouldn't it?

At the worst, it would mean something had happened to her mother in the past twenty four hours, and she didn't want to consider that for a second. She sighed, reclining against a pillar, her white cloak drawn over her face. She hadn't meant to leave Yoda behind, but this was assuredly something she would have to do herself. She would have to straighten things out for Steiner.

How much longer would it take him to arrive, she wondered, idly? At least it was a pleasant day outside... The festival would be coming up in three days. This, she knew, would be the best time to search Paixao, while everyone else was distracted.

Garnet had one thing right: he was indeed utterly mad. Or at least becoming so. Shadows made faces at him and he wanted to make them back. But... now that would be silly.

"Well they all came back to help you..." he muttered to the side, as if it was obvious. First Ramuh... and then others... though Zidane's memory on the matter was fuzzy, like most of his mind, but at least he could feel his nerves reconnecting again.

The play? I Want to Be Your Canary? How could... that be? So much... had happened since that play... and that's all she's seen? Even Steiner knew what Zidane was talking about... so surely he wasn't over-the-top-utterly-mad!

"That's right... the play..." he watched her, awkwardly. "You see... Cid sent us there to, well, kidnap you, as it was the only way to get you from Alexandria and he knew things were getting... weird. Though funny thing! You actually came with us willingly! ...Boy was Rusty pissed." Zidane smirked towards the tin-man. "Though your mother shot our airship down and we crash-landed in the Evil Forest. That was pretty crazy. Apparently, your mother was really peaved with you running off with 'her' royal pendent or whatever. But yeah... uhhh right. Died with honor, and the sort."

"What...?" Garnet demanded, still at a loss for the words coming out of Zidane's mouth. No, he had to be wrong! Except for the fact that he had had the fact completely right that she intended to go with him. She hesitated and looked away.

"Do you not know tact?" She asked, trying to decide what was true, and what was false among all the things that Zidane had said. But she was positive nothing he said had happened. Her mother could not possibly be dead, not in a battle that she knew had not happened! "To speak of family so carelessly... You ought to be ashamed of yourself."

Steiner had faded into the background for her, she was so intent and focused on Zidane, with her hurt start.
