Thread: ☢Final Fantasy: Edyn's Lament☢ [-Haru|Lila-]

Aeshir smirked as she heard the hollow sound from beneath his helm. She was quite aware of her brother's desires, and she herself shared them. It had been one of the reasons that she had turned down his offer to ride on his shoulders. She could think of much more tantalizing things to do than merely sitting on his shoulder. Sadly they had a mission they needed to do and couldn't afford to waste too much time at the moment. They certainly didn't need ARC sending people after them next. The sigh that left her lips was bordering on longing as they continued through the Westersand. She chuckled when he mentioned that their path would most likely slow most significantly due to his large size and the armor he wore. She couldn't help but chuckle at the comment. I have no qualms with a slow journey. We'll find them eventually, they can't hide forever. She said as she moved to stand behind Stone as a particularly hard gust of wind threw sand in their direction, effectively using him as a shield. The Westersands had been as easy to traverse as her brother had suggested. She found herself quite enjoying the freedom they had. It was refreshing to not be under the gaze of doctors and scientists all day. She found the journey under the mountain to be quite invigorating and when they weren't fending off the stray monsters that dwelled in the caves there was something quite akin to a skip in her step. Two days passed far to quickly though, and they soon found themselves at a strange outpost negotiating for a ferry. Aeshir had opted to walk for the majority of their journey but she now found herself thankful for the break as they had a moment's reprieve from the arduous trek they'd found themselves on. Aeshir sat down on a nearby box as she looked at her brother. Stone? She started, only moving to continue once she was quite certain she had his attention. May I ride on your shoulder for the next part of our journey? After we get off the ferry? She smiled gently at him. She knew he would say yes. He always did. Quite honestly she was certain that she could demand things from him and he'd still cater to her every whim, but she loved her brother and wouldn't dare to do that. She leaned back and sighed as she swung her legs back and forth a bit. The ferry ride was quite relaxing and she found it soothing. Part of her hoped that it would take them awhile to find Lune and Stryker. She was quite enjoying not be confined. I hope it takes us a bit longer to find them. She said idly, quite certain that she must have earned an odd look from Stone. I just wouldn't be opposed to the freedom for a bit longer. She said as she looked at her brother. We haven't had time to ourselves in years, not really. --------------- Lune smiled when Stryker asked he if she really had no intention to return. She shook her head. No, Stryker, I don't. She said with a sigh as he asked her what she planned to do. She chuckled as he mentioned that ARC wouldn't quit looking for her and that bet that they had already sent someone else after her. I know they won't stop, Stryker. They'll never stop until Edyn is but a husk void of life. She sighed as she stood up and turned to look at the tree, raising a hand to it's branches. They think they have control of Jenova. The slight smile on her face held a certain sadness to it. But it is quite the other way around. She's been using them to her own ends, and she'll destroy this world if she isn't stopped. Lunenova sighed as she turned back towards Stryker. That's what I plan to do, Stryker. She sighed as though to emphasize her point. I plan to try and save Edyn.....and destroy Jenova. --------------- Daveera moved in closer to her father, as though their mere proximity brought her comfort. She bit back a bitter comment about the Jenova Project when her father mentioned how he'd give it all for her. When he explained that his diligent research was the only way to make her whole again she had to bite her tongue. A good deal of his research revolved around Jenova and Jenova was the very reason she was like this. However the subject of Jenova and her father's research in regards to the creature was a sore subject between the two. She had no desire to upset her father at all, but especially not after he'd just helped her. She also knew that talking about Jenova would do nothing to improve her condition. So it was best to just leave it alone. She smiled as her father stroked her hair and kissed her cheek and forehead. Her eyes lit up a bit when he told her that he loved her, and would always be there for her. I know, Daddy. She raise her right hand to her father's cheek before she tilted her head upwards just a bit and brought her own lips to meet his. If Daveera was quite honest her feelings for her father went far beyond those that should exist between a father and his daughter, but few really blamed her for them, as her father was practically the only human interaction the poor girl had for the past five years. --------------- Trissa seemed to sadden just a little when Cid spoke of the ones ARC took, as did Syn and Bree. Nabira Brahm , Trissa's older sister, had been one of the highest ranking members of SEED needing only to answer to Cid and Trissa. She had helped them organize and found SEED. She had been in charge of all the offensive measures that SEED needed, and had personally screened everyone in this room save Crest, Trissa, and Cid, before they were given even the most basic position in SEED. Nabira had been accompanying Syn, Bree, and a few others on what should have been a simple in and out mission at a small ARC research outpost near Evensea to the east. Something went wrong though and an anti-SEED monster had been deployed. It's mission was to either capture or destroy them. The others in the group didn't stand a chance against the creature, and so Nabira had distracted it long enough for the others to get away. She had told the sisters that she would meet them back at the base and to head back without her. That had been a lie. Nabira had known that while she might have ben able to hold that thing off she wouldn't be able to get away. Reinforcements had arrived shortly after the rest of the group had made it's escape and Nabira had been captured. The sisters still felt responsible despite how much Trissa tried to reassure them otherwise. Crest noticed the reaction of the three women, but kept it to herself for now. It was obviously a sore subject and she didn't dare breach that territory until they trusted her a bit more. Her attention was once again drawn to Cid though as he pulled out a map of the ARC building. Her brow furrowed. They couldn't possibly be planning to attack already? That would be suicide. They would be sorely outnumbered by soldiers that were far stronger. They'd be going up against genetically mutated Far'Anthi, along with Edyn only knew what else. They wouldn't stand a chance, not even with Crest at their side. They would die. Unfortunately it seemed they were planning to do just that and Crest found herself needing to say something as Cid and Enkidu spoke of infiltrating the base. I would strongly recommend against that. She said looking Cid straight in the eyes as she placed a hand over the map they were all looking at. And why is that? Trissa asked a bit confused. Because going in there right now would get all of you killed. She said seriously as she allowed the others a chance to respond.
