It's not all that different than having a roommate. There are worse people I could be living with.

[ How sweet. ]

I'll be generous and say I'd rather be stuck with you than Irvine. [ But not Squall, Rinoa, Selphie, or Zell. Okay, maybe Selphie and Zell. It's a strange situation. ]

[ex_firecross517]

I knew you'd come to your senses sooner or later.

[ Smirking on the other end. Still. ]

And it's okay. I think you're ideal, too.

[nagyka]

I've never hated you. While I wasn't happy with our arrangement, I've never...

[ She doesn't know how to phrase it. She doesn't like him, she doesn't dislike him, she... it's all so mixed up. He does things she hates, but she's never hated him. She always followed him, scolded him, cared about him. Every day more memories come back and some of them tear at her. She hadn't even remembered stepping between him and Squall when they fought. It would be a lie to say that something so trivial wasn't something she held dear to her.

Quistis doesn't want to think about any of it or what it may mean. Thankfully, his words grant her wish and snap her out of it. ]

That's... [ It's a lot to wrap her mind around. He's clearly just messing with her. It doesn't even occur to her that his phrasing implies that he thought she was talking about him. ] That's not appropriate to discuss right now. We can talk later. [ But she's still not hanging up. Either he'll have to take initiative or say something that makes her do it. It shouldn't be too hard, considering. ]

[ex_firecross517]

What else is there to talk about? You called me ideal.

[ Which, to him, is the biggest compliment ever coming from her. ]

So-- you were sayin'? You've never... never what? Never hated me?

[nagyka]

[ She pauses while he speaks, the misunderstanding becoming very clear to her now. She addresses the last part first. ]

I was devastated when I was told that you'd been executed. [ Is what she manages to finally admit to. The first and only time. Back then, she'd tried to hold it together, be the strong one in the group -- and eventually she'd partially taken it out on Rinoa. Let her feelings twist and turn and contort into something they shouldn't have.

And she hesitates, wondering if she could get away with saying nothing. Instead, she decides honesty is the best policy... while knowing it very probably isn't. ]

I'm afraid you... misunderstood what I was saying. The man I am currently involved with is perhaps my ideal match. [ And then she connects the dots. Did he... kind of like her? Maybe? No, it was just a response to the situation. Assuming it wasn't a joke meant to get her riled up, it was nothing more than... well, she didn't know. She didn't know and she doesn't want to think on it and... she really should have hung up again, shouldn't she? ]

[ex_firecross517]

[ Devastated? Had his supposed death really affected her that much? He's taken aback by this, so much that Seifer falls silent on the other line. She must've really and truly cared for him if she'd felt that way about him dying.

Seifer opens his mouth to speak at the same time she begins, and he goes quiet again when he hears the beginning of what seems like hesitation. And then it hits him; she's seeing someone, as in dating. How is he supposed to feel about this? The mix of emotions is like a mixed bag; Seifer refuses to put his hand into that cookie jar, not when he knows he's only going to end up pulling out crumbs.

Disappointment is the biggest factor here. A hint of confusion, realization, humiliation. Anger.

But why? Why anger? He shouldn't care - he doesn't!

And yet the silence drags. And drags. And drags, up until the point of where she might think he's either hung up or that he can't find the words at all in how to respond to her and this newly bit of revealed information. ]

... I bet. Have fun with that then.

[ Click. Beep. Beep. Beep. ]

[nagyka]

[ Somehow, she expects the silent treatment. Not over the first part, of course. If anything she was waiting for him to laugh at her over how emotional and attached she was to him despite the fact he wouldn't have felt the same if she were in that position. If she had died on that mission, she doubted he would have felt any remorse for his actions -- and she very well could have. Because in reality it hadn't been a mission, it hadn't even been approved by Garden. She'd just stupidly chased after him for... for reasons she still wasn't even entirely sure of. Some of it was there, but there was something else that she doesn't want to look too hard at.

It's like a spot on the sun. You can't focus because by the time you do you're completely enveloped by the rest of it. Although perhaps if you really tried you'd catch it... ]

What is that su--[ And she is cut off by being hung up on. It's a feeling she isn't particularly fond of, she decides. She doesn't understand what just happened, but she suspects it all ties in to his pride for some reason or another. Likely he wanted to come up with some awful retort but the fact that he didn't know who she was seeing stopped him from being specific. That had to be it. She allows the phone's weight to settle in her hand for a moment, staring down at the receiver before she finally sets it back down, on the hook. Perhaps it would have been better if she hadn't called back. ]
