A Homecoming [semi-open]

[knighted-lion.livejournal.com]

Characters: Squall and Rinoa. Open to anyone else who happens to be in the Garden.
Progress: On-going
Summary: Rinoa finally comes home
Location: The Garden
Date: Today

After everything was said and done, it was quite a relief to finally be heading back home. To be properly done with all of the audiences he'd had to sit through and all of the discussions that had come with them. But it had been worth it. They'd let Rinoa go, and to him, that was worth almost anything.

And yes, there might still be a problem here and there, but he wasn't thinking about those, as he stepped back into the Garden. Right now he was going to deal with the more immediate future.

Rinoa was hanging onto his arm, practically clinging on for dear life. Not just because she felt weak physically - although she did - but because she needed Squall for emotional support. It was a horrible thing to feel that there was only one person on your side in an entire city. And a worse thing to know that on some level you deserved it.

"It looks the same," she said, almost surprised. She'd half-expected the Garden to be wrecked, but the only real difference was the people: fewer students, more Alexandrian soldiers. Rinoa didn't know how many more hostile looks she could take. "Can we go to your room? Or somewhere private... Anywhere private."
