Quistis shook her head, a silent admission that she, too, had no idea as to how they'd been brought there. "It was the same for me. The sky grew suddenly bright, and before I could make any sense of it, I was here with you." She frowned, gently patting Marlene's head before drawing up to her full height to get a better look at their surroundings.
Which had changed drastically in the last few seconds, to her surprise. Instead of the dingy gray of a foreign city, she now saw the bright lights and familiar tile of Balamb Garden's central structure. Home? Really? Though she had regained some of her lost memories about Edea's house at the cape in Centra, Balamb Garden was the only real home she truly remembered.
"That's it for your directive. Get to Timber and bring him back," Quistis heard a familiar voice instruct her from behind. She turned to see Headmaster Cid standing there with his hands clasped behind his back, a stern expression on his face.
Oh. She'd come back to the day Seifer had broken out of solitary and taken off. ... that's right. He'd followed the group that had been deployed to Timber and raised a scene at the television station. She'd always felt his escape had been her fault. She had been charged with the matter of disciplining him after his behavior during the SeeD exam, and though she had not been directly involved with his escape, he was still her charge, and it was just so soon after having her license revoked.
This had been her chance to prove herself. She'd failed as an Instructor, but she refused to as a member of SeeD. By following Seifer to Timber, she could potentially stop him and keep any harm from coming to her home that might be caused by the backlash of his actions. It was a chance to prove her competence and show that she was just like any other SeeD, devoted to Garden and her duty to protect it and all those within.
"O-of course," she said finally, having been caught off-guard. "I won't let him besmirch the name of SeeD. You can count on me, Headmaster."
That's right, make the girl with partial amnesia go next. >.>
