Have an appointment with the Governor, do you? Don't forget the date and the post type (action, voice, dance, etc.)!

[The answer comes to him almost as soon as he reads what she's written. Perhaps he always knew it was the right answer but...]

I should come home.

I should. But I don't know whether or not I can handle it yet.

[silversnowfall]

That's up to you to decide. Anyone who tries to do it for you is selfish.

[No, she has no idea.]

[Did she catch that? His expression couldn't have been there for longer than a moment or so. In spite of himself, in spite everything surrounding this conversation... he smiles.]

You're right.

I'll decide tomorrow.

[Luke's other friends are in the business of bringing up failures and rubbing faces in them.

Nephry is not.]

You are always welcome to try it, and decide it doesn't work, you know.

[His line of thinking may be strange, but the result was the same. Perhaps it was selfish to give his life up for Tear's sake... and perhaps it was selfish to tell Anise that he loved her. But maybe being selfish wasn't a bad thing? He would certainly never regret what he did for Tear... so maybe he shouldn't regret what he said to Anise?]

[He may not know where to go from here, but at the very least, it was a step in the right direction.]

I know. [...]

Though I'm hesitant to say as much, I feel better. Better than I was earlier.

Thank you, Nephry.

I'm glad you feel better. And you're welcome, even if I don't think I did anything at all.

[Ion did the vast majority of the thinking and understanding, didn't he?]

[distressedude]

[Thinking and understanding he would have never gotten to if he had been kept alone to his thoughts. And really, Ion being alone with only his thoughts... that wasn't a good combination.]

You've been here for me, Nephry. That's more than enough to deserve thanks.

I hope you have a restful night.
