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?"

Even if she'd wanted to stay Cid probably would have vetoed that idea sheerly on general principle alone. Enough that he'd have to deal with the result explosion that was going to happen when a Turk, a man who should be insane and wasn't and a guy who spent half his damned time brooding into the same space. Needless to do say, he'd be making damned sure to have both Venus Gospel and his few remaining materia well within reach. Sure, you could call him paranoid for it, but as far as he was concerned it was a damned sight better than be not prepared enough, at least in this case.

"Good." She wasn't likely to be any help, and really? He was going to be having a bad enough time keeping tempers in check as it was and wasn't that a rather ironic thought. Usually he was the one setting tempers off not keeping them in line.

And why the hell was he still thinking about this? Worrying about it wouldn't solve a goddamned thing, and he still had a shop to finish cleaning. With any luck he'd even manage to find a proper teapot before the night was out.
