[lionwarhero.livejournal.com]

Characters: Delita, Refia
Progress: Ongoing
Summary: Delita takes Refia to the chocobo forest. Is it a date or not?
Location: Lindblum to Chocobo Forest
Date: June 1804

Realizing it was time to leave for Refia, Delita tied on his cloak pausing only long enough to shake some dirt off the edges. There was no reason for him to be apprehensive concerning this outing as he had already been to the forest multiple times. Yet contrary to his nature, he had spent time fussing over his appearance. Before leaving his room he steeled his nerves in, so as to not betray his feelings to the general populace.

As he approached the agreed upon meeting place, his thoughts dwelled on the ladies that had been in his life: Tietra, Alma, Ovelia, and now Refia. He knew not the importance of this meeting, yet one thing was solidified in his mind - he did not wish the lady Refia to die and he would ensure her safety was paramount.

Delita knew that what Refia said was true. He had heard it enough from Ramza, but Ramza was a Beoulve.

He looked down towards the ground, "'Tis easier said than done. I have been taught ever since becoming a Squire that I should protect that people of the Kingdom." It is easy to see the pain that lingers despite the proximity of the white mage. "How can I live so long as they are able to repeat their crimes."

He looks away, not pleased that another afternoon has been tainted by spilled blood.

Refia frowned again at that - she wasn't very pleased by this turn of events. This was supposed to be a happy trip, something fun - something just for the two of them. Morbid thoughts had no place here.

She didn't drop his hand, but she did step around so that she was looking him right in the face, that determined tilt to her chin that he'd definitely seen before. "So promise yourself to stop them in the future, every time they try again. You're not a god, Delita - the best you can do is your very best. And I know you'll do your very best to help everyone you can."

It was strange the amount of strength he was gaining from the proximity of his friend. It takes everything within to bury the pain from the surface to hopefully salvage the afternoon.

"I have no desire to be a god. I shall endeavor to utilize these thoughts you have given myself."

He manages to replace the frown upon his face with a smile given solely to the one by his side.

And that's enough to cause Refia to smile back at him - she can't forget that he was upset, but if he's able to smile, then she can't not.

"That's better. And look - Ardi's chasing Alfa around." She stepped back a little to point off to the side, and it was true - Alfa was trotting around the woods, with the other chocobo in pursuit, both of them looking to be having quite the fun time. It made her giggle a little, though she didn't drop Delita's hand.

"Chocobos are always so... silly."

A small chuckle escaped his lips as he turned to watch the frolicking of the chocobos. Some other time he may have been concerned about the closeness but this day he simply allowed them to experience the day in lightness.

"'Tis amazing to watch them relax within the confines of this sanctuary. In my days, I have not seen this silliness before. I am pleased to see him so natural."
