What: Talking
Rating: PG



Laguna had of course, as usually taken off with the Yppsilon without really telling anyone but Ward. Ward was nice like that. he would just sigh, and wave him off as he bounced out to board his nice shiny new airship. Of course, this nice and shiny airship had tons of buttons he had no idea what did, but he somewhat managed to find the radar, and the tracker to try and find the Strahl.

"Yppsilon hailing Strahl." he called into the radio.

Squall was sat messing around with the controls of the Strahl while Fran and Balthier were out walking with Krja. He was bored out of his brain, and jumped a little when he heard Laguna over the radio. He pressed the button. "Strahl receiving you loud and clear."

"Squall?" Laguna grinned hearing his son’s voice. "Yppsilon trying to pinpoint your Strahl. Could you send coordinates?"

"Um sure..." Squall murmured. "Or I could just tell you we're docked in the Aerodrome at Rabanastre..."

"Hey! I was trying to sound like a pro here!" he pouted, but punched in the coordinates for Rabanastre into the ships system. "You ruined my mojo there, kiddo."

Squall gave a soft laugh, running a hand through his hair. "Heh. Sorry."

"Here I go, trying my best to sound cool and there you go ruining it.." he sounded like he was pouting, but then came a low snicker as the airship came into landing close by the Strahl.

"I guess you'll be boarding soon, hm?" Squall laughed, pressing a button to ensure the door was open.

"Prepare to surrender your booty!" Laguna joked. "Yppsilon out." Laguna hurried over to the door, bringing with him the gift he had brought. It did not take long before a very excited Laguna tripped into the room, smashing into the floor. "Ow. Hi to you."

"You okay?" Squall asked, pushing himself to very shaky feet to face Laguna, offering a hand to help the man up.

Laguna looked up, eyes widening, and giving an excited sound. "You are standing!" he smiled from ear to ear as he took his sons hand, getting up, applying only soft pressure to squall.

Squall gave another soft laugh. "Glad those eyes of yours are still working." He teased.

"Not going to quit on me anytime soon." He smiled from ear to ear. "I am so glad! I told you you would be up and about in no time!"

Squall smiled. "It's still early days." He murmured, beginning to walk towards his bedroom.

"But you can walk!" He chimed excited. "Oh oh! Then its a perfect occasion to give you this!" He pulled forth a small box.

Squall blinked at the box. "What is it?" He asked, reaching to take it.

He handed the box to his son. He smiled warmly. "Open it." Inside was the ring Laguna gave to Raine.

Squall examined the box for a few minutes before opening it, blinking at the ring within.

"I’m pretty sure your mum would want you to have it " he smiled. "It was her ring."

Squall swallowed hard, taking the ring from the box. "I can't accept this. You should keep it."

He shook his head "I have been clinging on to it for too long now. I have realised that I need to move on."

Squall tried it on, finding it fitted his slim ring finger. "if you're sure..."

"If you want to have it, its yours. " he smiled, for once being able to keep his composure without bawling like a baby. "The day you do actually marry, you can always give it away as an engagement ring"

Squall gave a slight smile. "I can't see myself getting married anytime soon..."

"Some day you will. You have time I did not marry before I was 26 so, you still have a few years."

Squall gave a soft chuckle and carried on walking back to the bedroom, sitting on the bed with a tired sigh. "Maybe one day..."

"One day yes."He moved after, leaning on the doorway. "How are things going?"

Squall flopped back, looking at the ceiling. "Things are... okay. I'm making progress with my walking. I'm in regular contact with Rin. Balthier and Fran are getting married and expecting another child. Things are going good."

"They are getting married? How fantastic! I am so happy for them! But you and Rin… how is it going?"

"It's not. I doubt we'll get back together. She's moving on with her life..." Squall murmured.

He sighed, looking down. he had always liked Rinoa. "I'm sorry Kiddo. I am sure.. I’m sure that things will go your way again, soon."

"I deserved it. I hurt her." The teen muttered. "Besides, we still talk and she lets me see Loire."

He nodded. "Talking about him. I want to see him to. I have only seen him once." And only being allowed to once hurt the man. He wanted to spoil the child sick.

"I'm pretty sure Rin wouldn't mind you visiting. She's living in Balamb Town nowadays. A nice little house." Squall replied.

"I will!" He lit up. "

Squall gave a soft chuckle. "So, how're things back at the Palace? No more trouble with the Heartless?"

"Nothing whatsoever. It has been as quiet as the.. umm.. what was the metaphor again... Right, well, it’s been really quiet!"

Squall smiled softly. "I'm glad. Back to signing papers and making paperclip chains?"

He sighed, " They are long enough to go around the city twice now. Me and Kiros measured."

Squall laughed again. "You beat me then. My longest, when I was Commander, went three times around the main floor of Garden."

Laguna did a bounce.

"We are the Masters of boredom and paperclip chains!" He smirked.
