A Bit of Reclamation... [complete]

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?"

Kairi blinked a bit, suddenly looking at Cid very confused. "Um..." She thought about her journal; she could always go back and skim it to see if he said anything, but he certainly hadn't mentioned it to her. Was it important? If it was important, she would check. But there was one tiiiiny problem with that....

"What's a ShinRa?" she asked finally, blinking at him again.

"A company," Cid answered, with a trace of lingering bitterness to his voice. "I used to work for them."

And then they'd tossed aside their space program and left him and his dreams to rust out in the fields of Rocket Town. Okay, so he'd eventually gotten to go out into space, but not under anything like the situations he'd wanted to have. And true, things had gotten better since Meteor had fallen, but he'd still never forgive them for some of the things they'd done.
