That's good.

* maybe so. Turning the tunic over to check for new rents *

Wonder if everyone's doing okay out there.

[scrub, scrub]

You mean, without you there?

Re: [LATER: Riverside]

[tothelight]

* piiiicking at an interesting-looking thread *

Do you think they know I'm here?

Re: [LATER: Riverside]

[time_andagain.insanejournal.com]

...I don't know. But they'll be waiting for you to come home.

Re: [LATER: Riverside]

[tothelight]

...hahah. It's funny, I think I was trying to tell myself as much, back then.

Re: [LATER: Riverside]

[time_andagain.insanejournal.com]

What do you mean? 'Back then'?

Re: [LATER: Riverside]

[tothelight]

The message the old me left myself. Hang on...

* wiping a hand on his pants and digging in his inventory bag, pulls out his tube *

Wanna take a look?

Re: [LATER: Riverside]

[time_andagain.insanejournal.com]

...Are you sure? You don't have to show me.

Re: [LATER: Riverside]

[tothelight]

Go on. There's nothing embarrassing about what's in there, anyway.

Re: [LATER: Riverside]

[time_andagain.insanejournal.com]

...Alright. Thank you.

* it's grainy like all these things are, but you can see Claude standing with one hand in his pocket, the other mussing his fringe. He might be smiling as he looks at you, but it doesn't reach his eyes. *

You're your own person. Don't forget that. They're waiting--

Re: [LATER: Riverside]

* stops, glancing to the side. *

Re: [LATER: Riverside]

--I do this willingly.

* the recording ends there. *

[giving it back, carefully, after a moment]

...You don't think it's true?

Re: [LATER: Riverside]

[tothelight]

* taking it, shrugs. *

I don't doubt it's true. Been wondering why I wasn't allowed to finish what I was gonna say, though.

Re: [LATER: Riverside]

[time_andagain.insanejournal.com]

I don't know. Mine wasn't very long, either. It would have been nice if I could have explained things better.

Re: [LATER: Riverside]

[tothelight]

* stuffing it back into the bag again. *

What'd your self tell you?

Re: [LATER: Riverside]

[time_andagain.insanejournal.com]

That I was doing this 'for her sake'.

Re: [LATER: Riverside]

[tothelight]

...Sakura's?

Re: [LATER: Riverside]

[time_andagain.insanejournal.com]

I don't know. Probably. She's the only girl in my memories so far.

Re: [LATER: Riverside]

[tothelight]

But a really important one to you, even then.

Re: [LATER: Riverside]

[time_andagain.insanejournal.com]

Ah... in the first memory I got, I'd promised to protect her...

Re: [LATER: Riverside]

[tothelight]

So I'd say it's a safe bet then.
