Library, Tuesday

[angelo_wings]

Rinoa was subdued at the library today. She was going to occupy herself with shelving titles, and hoping no one asked about the white satin gloves she was wearing.

If anyone asked, she was going to claim they matched her outfit. They did. Because she had picked an outfit especially to match satin white gloves.

She wasn't gray any more; most of the physical changes had slowly disappeared. So maybe in a day or two, her fingernails would stop looking so much like talons.

Maybe.

"You're terrible," Rinoa sighed. "Twins? Really?"

She was never sure what that odd twinge was. Jealousy? Disappointment? She felt like Seifer could do better than just ... alleycatting around. Okay, and maybe a bit of jealousy. Shut up.

"I think maybe Squall wasn't hugged enough as a child," she said solemnly. "It'd explain a lot."

"Maybe it was all that standing in the rain. Water on the brain."

It's a very good thing Seifer didn't know about that 'bit of jealousy'. He'd probably freak out at this point.

"And yes, really. I have who knows how long to enjoy the fun and delights of the Magic Kingdom, and I'm going to abuse it to the fullest." And then some.

"That just makes him sound sad and tragic," Rinoa explained. "Draws the girls in like flies. Shame he pushes them away again. There's a kingdom of magic?"

"Yep. With dancing mice and singing rodents."

"And ... this is a good thing?" Rinoa asked, pulling back enough to get a good look at his face. Maybe he was kidding?

Well. The stuffed cat thing was cute. This place couldn't be all bad.

"I guess, if nothing else, it'll annoy Squall," she said.

Look. She might be his girlfriend and all, but annoying Squall happened to be a really fun time.

He really wasn't kidding, in fact he might look kind of wistful about it. "Hey, it's pretty cool. Lots of rides to go on, you'll love the shopping. Different food places... it's actually a lot of fun."

Remember, lack of real childhood here.

"Okay," she said. "Then I have to go."

Her own childhood had been shortened by her mother's death, but she at least had the vibrant memories of a loving, happy family from before.

She flashed him a quick smile. "If you're enjoying yourself by flirting with twins, then go flirt with all the twins in town," she said.

Really. Anything that cheered him up. He'd had a rough year.

They all had.

Seifer just raised an eyebrow and chuckled, because the flirting had been done. "I promise not to get kicked out of the amusement park by a giant mouse. Or one of those princesses."

He might have forgotten to mention them. "Which are totally fake, by the way. You are so much cooler than them."
