A Bit of Reclamation... [complete]

[limitbreakpilot.livejournal.com]

Character(s): Cid and Kairi
Content: Cid reclaims his shop
Setting: Cid's shop [J7]
Time: not too long after this thread
Warnings: Cid


The rest of the trip to find this place that he apparently owned passed by in silence - or the Cid version thereof. Which is to say ... it wasn't exactly silent, as he kept up a steady grumble that was composed up of equal parts swear and latent bitterness. It didn't really mean much of anything - it was more to fill the silence than anything - but every now and then something comprehensible could picked out of it, usually something about the lack of a sky or the sheer weirdness of the place as a whole.

It wasn't until they arrived at the shop he was supposed to be reclaiming that he stopped - or rather until his journal chirped at him.

"Thought I told you to stay quiet," he grumbled at it before turning to Kairi. "This the place then?"

She couldn't help but grin over the whole situation, despite everything. She managed to stir up quite a lot over the message boards with just one sentence, but hey, who was she to know that Death didn't have a sense of humor? She would've thought someone who had that sort of job would, but maybe she was still a bit naive for her age.

Kairi rubbed the back of her neck, laughing a bit nervously. "Well I managed to single-handedly stir up quite a commotion on the message boards. Apparently some people don't know what a joke is? Ahahaha... well, it all turned out alright, and there shouldn't be an hard feelings, but," she grinned more, "I think I'll still watch my back." She blinked and looked thoughtful for a moment. "Though one of my friends did show up, so that's good. Still."

"Don't need a damn journal to tell you that," Cid grumbled, even as he turned his attention back to one of the piles of junk. "All you gotta do is hang around the right sorta people. Seen too damned many people in the world who ain't capable of taking a joke."

And most of the ones he'd seen had been in ShinRa. Damned buncha stiffs, if you asked him. Too busy with their reactors and shit to keep any manner of decent money in the way of airships.

Which ... was probably the reason they'd needed his - a thought that caused a brief scowl to cross his face. Served 'em right that they'd stolen the Highwind back in the end. If they couldn't keep her they hadn't deserved to have in the first place.
