A wandering lion [Active]

Character(s): Squall and Sora
Content: This isn't the Leon you're looking for
Setting: Jogo de Crianca
Time: Mid-day
Warnings: None!

Not for the first time since he'd arrived in Paixao, Squall found himself wandering. It made everything easier to think about, and there was plenty of that do be done. He'd been alone for... he couldn't even remember how long it had been since he'd arrived, and that was almost what worried him the most. What was going on back at home? Were people right that no real time passed between now and then? Or was it just a pleasant lie to comfort those stuck here?

More to the point, did it have anything to with the fact that no one else in his world stayed for any real length of time? Or was he just lucky?

Questions and more questions. It seemed like that was what his life had become lately, and he sighed to himself as he turned into the park. There just... wasn't anything he could answer about this place.

Sora had be out wandering around the city looking for any sort of Heartless to fight, he needed to keep his skills honed and while sparing with Riku was always fun and useful, fighting a human opponent wasn't like fighting a mob Heartless.

Though, today was appeareantly the Heartless' day off, funny, the one time he had been looking for them he couldn't even find a Shadow. Oh well, maybe Sora could find some lunch and go see if Riku wanted to spar.

He was about to head off to the nearest cafe when he spotted a familiar face that seemed deep in contemplation.

"Leon!"

It was more the sound of a voice that Squall reacted to than anything else, blinking a bit as if to clear his mind before half-turning to see who was calling. He'd been called Leon before, but the voice wasn't familiar. Or the face that went with it, really.

He wasn't looking to have to try and explain things again.

"It's Squall."

'Leon' was someone else entirely.

Sora frowned, it was Leon, it had to be, he'd know that face and that voice, not to mention that specific tone of voice, anywhere. And wasn't Leon's real name "Squall" anyway?

Though now that Sora got a good look at him, he noticed that there was something different about him, his hair was shorter and he actually looked a bit younger than he remembered Leon being, like he was around Riku's age. Maybe he was from before Radiant Garden had fallen?

"Oh, sorry, I though you were a friend of mine." Sora replied sheepishly, rubbing the back of his head.

Well, at least he wasn't being terribly insistent about it, which Squall supposed was a decent enough start. He had a feeling he might need to get to correcting people more in the future, but that ought to be easy enough to manage.

"You aren't the first person," Squall answered with a shrug.

Did he really look this much like this 'Leon' guy?

The resemblance was uncanny, Squall.

"I'm not?" Weren't Aerith and Cloud here? Maybe they ran into him. Or maybe there were other people from Radiant Garden here.

"Oh, I'm Sora, by the way," He may as well introduce himself, "So what were you doing out here, anyway?"

Not so much 'run into' as 'spoken to,' but that was close enough for Squall at least. Both meant that he had to try and explain that he wasn't someone else, something he'd never get used to.

"Thinking, mostly."

Thinking and letting his feet take him where they would. He'd stayed inside long enough as it was.

"About what?" Sora asked, yeah, Le-- Squall probably wouldn't be willing to spill, but it didn't hurt to ask.

What wasn't he thinking about, really? That had been why he'd come out to wander really. To try and see if he couldn't make some sense of everything that was running around his head. So far, it hadn't really worked, but at least he couldn't say he hadn't tried. Besides, maybe something would come up later. It was far more likely it wouldn't, of course, but he couldn't really discount that slim possibility just because it was unlikely.

"Nothing important."

Not quite the truth, but close enough, at least by Squall's thinking.

"Oh," Nothing important? Sora didn't really believe that, but he wasn't sure he should press the matter or not. Though, it was strange, Sora never though Leon was the most open of people, but in comparison to his younger self here, Leon suddenly seemed a lot more open.

Sora was probably standing there in a somewhat awkward silence for a bit too long, hopefully Squall hadn't noticed it.

Unfortanetly, Squall had noticed. True, he didn't answer immediately himself, thus leaving the silence to stretch on for a good moment or so longer. What did you say to someone who thought he know you? What did you say when you weren't the 'you' they knew?

It wasn't something he really had the answer to, unfortunately.

"Is there something I can do for you?"
