"Yeah, I bet. I guess if nothing else, it's an adventure, huh? It's okay to be unsettled when everything goes crazy on you like this, but don't worry too much, 'kay?" Grinning, Zidane kicked his legs a little and thumped himself on the chest, tilting his chin up confidently. "Because you've got Zidane Tribal on your side, and I won't let anything happen to you on my watch."

That proclamation made, Zidane fell into a brief, thoughtful silence. Then he folded his arms over the back of the chair and leaned his chin against his arms, casting his gaze up at the ceiling. It made him strangely uncomfortable to hear that Fran was unsettled. Not that it wasn't understandable or even surprising, but hearing it in those terms right off her own lips just didn't sit right with Zidane. He was never one to sit by when someone was in need, anyway. There was no way he'd go off and leave Fran alone all by herself on this continent whether she could handle it or not, and this pretty much settled it. Handling wasn't the same as being okay. So like Zidane had said, he could do his searching from pretty much anywhere, so there was no reason why he and Fran couldn't do their searching together.

"Hey, do you wanna hear a story? I've got a good one."
