Familial

[knighted-lion.livejournal.com]

Characters: Squall, anyone in the Garden, the Loire family
Progress: On-going
Summary: Squall (re)meets Laguna, and family visits happen
Location: Alfitaria
Date: Probably slightly backdated, since I meant to have this up a couple of days ago
Warnings: None

It had been odd, Squall had realized, to have to reconcile the fact that Laguna was both back and didn't even remember who he was. Even with the time oddities, meeting your father before he technically met you was disturbingly bizarre. Perhaps not worse than Time Compression, but distinctly bizarre and that fact and kept bouncing around in his skull for the duration of the time it took for the Garden it get to Alfitaria.

How was he supposed to react, a small part of him wondered. What things (what stupid, ridiculous things) would Laguna want to do? What should he even expect?

He didn't have the answers by the time the Garden finally touched in Alfitaria, but by that point it was already too late. Now all he could do was try and keep his head above the water, metaphorically speaking.

"Yeah," he answered with a nod.

He made a point of not needing to ask their help most of the time, but that didn't mean that he ever forgot about them. SeeD was too much a part of his life, now.

He grinned then sighed adding, "Somehow I get the feeling we might have to still force ya to come out and say you need help as well." He looked up and smiled, "But like I said, Rin's good support for you, so you should be fine."

He smiled and replied, "Besides it also gives me more time to look around this town and have fun unsupervised."

Okay, so Irvine might have been right. But Squall wasn't about to be the one to actually come out and and say it. As long as people knew - or could guess at it - it wasn't as important. Besides, it let him keep his dignity at least that much longer.

"Don't get into too much trouble."

"Oh come on Squall...what possible trouble could I get into?" he answered with a cheeky smirk

He waved at him and added, "Have fun with the folks, commander." With that Irvine, left on his way to explore the city
