Yuna’s energy reminded Hope of his best friend on Pulse. Vanille. Still trapped in her crystal cage, Hope was at a loss without. His expression turned to one of despair before quickly turning back to one of happiness. He had to keep smiling, for everyone’s sakes.
“So this place we are going to, is there anywhere we can talk. Just the two of us, I kind of have news I would like to share with you.” His eyes glazed over, his hands shaking and he voice cracking. Hope considered Yuna a good friend, she helped him before, even though she barely knew him.
As she pulled her friend forward, nearly dragging him with her speed, Yuna could have sworn she felt the energy around the two take a small plunge downward. Slowing before they reached the bottom of the stairs, the brunette allowed her smile to fade slightly before she released Hope’s hand and turned to him.
Noticing his facial expression was almost grave, she tilted her head. Of course, when she was going to ask what was wrong, the silverette seemed to force a smile.
“So this place we are going to, is there anywhere we can talk. Just the two of us, I kind of have news I would like to share with you.”
Mirroring he smile, she gave a soft nod before answering,
“Of course, we’ll have plenty of time. In fact. .”
Her gaze drifted slowly to the stairs before returning the young director. Who needed to ride chocobos when they could walk? The road was a long enough stretch to give them privacy, as well as the occasional fiend scaring wanderers off. They would take as long as Hope needed.
“Let’s walk it instead of riding chocobos.”
She gave a bright smile before turning to the stairs and making her way up them slowly. Stopping midway, she looked to a slightly dazed Hope.
“Coming?”
