Sephiroth…never did Kid think she could hate anyone as much as Lynx, but there she was, angrily putting away her belongings in her new room. The room was fairly large for both her and Serge, allowing them to live together while Glenn resided next-door, and it made her feel empty. She wanted a home, but not earning it by running from a fight. A Radical Dreamer always fought for their future, no matter how strong the enemy, and while she was used to fighting others stronger than her…being outclassed like that…

Her hand gripped on her dagger tightly, desiring to be impaled into something, anything. Her other hand held her head as the pressure from the memory of yesterday came back in full fury, anger rising like never before. Screaming in a fit of rage, she lashed out and swung…

But another hand caught hers, and she froze at the stranger’s touch. It was only until her eyes traveled up the man’s arm and spotting the blue-hair and comforting smile that belonged to her boyfriend.

Tears welled up in her eyes once more, dropping the dagger to the floor before embracing her lover. No tears left from her eyes however, refusing to allow even a single one pass, not until everything was set right. It may not have been her fight before, but she couldn’t just leave things as they were.

Serge returned the embrace, the warmth spreading between their bodies, his hand placed on the back of her head and back. “I’m sorry…If I had gotten their sooner—“

She shook her head, feeling the water ready to fall from her face. “No…if I had been stronger…than there’s no bleedin’ way that bugger could have slipped past me.” She hugged Serge closer to her. “I still gotta kick you arse first…” she muffled into his chain vest.

He sadly smiled, stroking her back. “Save it for after we get used to things around here. C’mon.”

She reluctantly let go of her beloved, and followed him downstairs to the empty tavern below. Glenn had already left, claiming to be after the mysterious swordsman and investigating a way to return home. They both believed him, but they didn’t believe he could do it. The Dragoon was powerful, that they didn’t doubt. It was his detective and interrogation skills they were most concerned about.

The Radical Dreamer walked behind the bar, pouring herself a drink a vodka. It was early, but she just needed something to calm her nerves before she went slashing at everything in sight again. When Serge overlooked her, she pouted at the disapproving look. “What?”

“You know you can’t drink that much.”

She snorted. “I’m 18 now! I can handle this much ya know!” She held up the small glass in front of his face to prove her point further. “It ain’t even that big! I doubt I can get wasted on this little shot!”

Serge sighed. “Fine, but drinking yourself into a stupor isn’t going to help. We need to look after Denzel and—“

At the mention of the boy’s name, both of their faces drained of all color. The one thing they had forgotten…

“Shit!” panicked the thief, dropping the glass on the counter before Serge caught it. “Where the bloody hell is he!?” Her eyes roamed the area, the color draining twice as fast now. If he went with Glenn…

No, this was the last thing she needed. She may not have been the big sister Lucca was, but letting the child out of her sight and leaving him to defend himself, even if he did have Cloud or Glenn with him…It would be like the massacre she witnessed seven years ago.

That, and Tifa would no doubt kick her ass if she lost sight of the kid.

“Denzel!” she shouted through the bar.

“Kid, calm down!” countered Serge, grabbing the thief by the shoulders. “I’m sure he’s around here somewhere….”

The drink near Kid’s side appeared tempting all of a sudden…

"Really? I'm sure Miss Aeris would love that." her smile grew wider. "It would definitely make her garden grow faster if two people are helping her!"

Xion finished her meal and stood up. She left the appropriate amount of gil for her share of the food on the counter, then turned to Kid and Serge.

"Thank you for helping me. I know you must...have a lot of things to ask." she looked away. "I promise that...the next time I come here, I'll answer them."

She gave them a little smile before turning back to Red. She folded her arms a bit and cocked her head to the side. "And you better behave yourself while I'm gone. Think you can handle that?"

She gave the three one last wave before slipping out the door.

"Heh, me? Never." he grinned mischeviously, and added once Xion had slipped out, "Trouble's way too much fun, and havin' clean hands is just boring." the man glanced between Kid and Serge, and counted out some gil to pay for his food, with a good tip.

"Well, if there's nothin' needs doin', I'm gonna clock out soon."
