[She nodded.] I don't have the same power anymore either, yeah? They took it all away when I got here.

[She paused, pulling back just a little and putting her skirt up so that he could see the l'Cie brand on it.]

This reminds me I still have things to do back home. It won't go away until I do them, yeah? So I gotta get back home and do them. So I gotta do whatever IO can here to help.

[strengthtohelp.livejournal.com]

Wait, what are you-- O-oh. I have something like that too. Here. It's... I'm getting used to not having my Shard Casting powers anymore, but at least we weren't left with nothing when we came here.

That's right. The more we help the cause here, the closer we will be to going home, if we so choose. I don't know who or what is waiting for me there considering what happened in the war, but I've come to think of being here as a second chance. I guess I've forgotten what that really means. Like you said, I can still remember the past and keep moving forward.

[She looked at his hand with interest. The mark meant something more, something awful. But it wasn't the same.] Yeah. I miss Hecaton, but I know that when I go back, I'll get him back, yeah?

[She nodded.] I know you can do it. You and me are the same, yeah? We have our problems and insecurities and stuff, but. We can do it.

[strengthtohelp.livejournal.com]

It's easier to say than do, but you're right. We just have to work hard and force ourselves to keep moving forward or else we can't better ourselves and accomplish anything. Whether it's here or back home, there's something for us to strive for somewhere.

[lyingragnarok.livejournal.com]

[She nodded.] That's right! So, ready to give it another go?

[strengthtohelp.livejournal.com]

I won't get anywhere if I don't, isn't that right? Besides, I have one of the most encouraging people I've known helping me.

[lyingragnarok.livejournal.com]

[She blushed a little, laughing happily.] I'm just doing my best, yeah? Just like you! Now come on! One more try!

[strengthtohelp.livejournal.com]

All right, I will.

Not again. It's always this part...

[lyingragnarok.livejournal.com]

[She put her hands on his shoulders to steady him, watching him carefully.]

You have to set them aside, Noa. You can't do anything right now. Just take them and side them aside. You can come back later, yeah?

Beware, teal deer ahead, so sorry...

[strengthtohelp.livejournal.com]

Of course. I'll try again.

Lady Diana, Sagiri... I'm so sorry, I couldn't save you. I know I failed you. I was too scared, too unsure, and that cost the both of you. I won't forget you no matter where I am, even if it's in another world. I have people to protect here now. I can't make the same mistake with them as I did with you. I'll do my best not to. You've taught me that much. Good bye, Lady Diana, Sagiri...

eee <3

[She was so happy for him, but she knew that at the same time, it was a somber moment. She smiled, getting down on her knees next to the newly turned Weapon.]

Hey, Noa? I think you did it, yeah?

[strengthtohelp.livejournal.com]

I did? That... that's amazing! What am I, and... how do I turn back?

[lyingragnarok.livejournal.com]

You're some kind of circle, yeah? But like, sharp all around.

[She bent down, grasping the handle and picking it up as best she could.]

Uh...I have no idea about turning back, yeah? I guess you just gotta want to!

[strengthtohelp.livejournal.com]

You mean like a ring blade? I'll have to look up what that is exactly.

Thank you, thank you... knowing I needed to protect all of you helped me finally do this. I did it. You really helped me, Vanille. Thank you so much!

[lyingragnarok.livejournal.com]

Yeah, like a ring blade! [She smiled, nodding even if he couldn't see it. After the moment, she put him back down on the ground, so when he changed, he was sitting on the ground.]

You're welcome! I'm really glad you got it, yeah? I'm proud of you, Noa!

[strengthtohelp.livejournal.com]

I couldn't have done it without your help. I can finally move forward now. Even if I face setbacks, I'll only grow stronger from here.

[lyingragnarok.livejournal.com]

[She beamed, nodding her head.]

I'm really glad you can, yeah? Now you can find someone to partner with! And you both can grow stronger, yeah?

[strengthtohelp.livejournal.com]

Yes, of course. That will be my new goal, now that I can transform. Then from there, anything can happen.

[lyingragnarok.livejournal.com]

Yup! [Smiles proudly.] And you can find out what that knife thing is called!

[strengthtohelp.livejournal.com]

I will, too. Mr. Spirit was right about our first transformations wearing us out. I would have offered to train with you on something else, but I'm not quite up to it.

[lyingragnarok.livejournal.com]

[She nodded, putting a hand on his shoulder gently.]

Yeah, it wears you out pretty fast. I always get real tired and real hungry, yeah? We don't have to do anymore training today!

[strengthtohelp.livejournal.com]

I can understand why. Thank you. You have done plenty enough for me today, Vanille. If you ever need me for training or anything else, you know you can call me, right? I'd be happy to help.

[lyingragnarok.livejournal.com]

Okay! That sounds good, yeah? I'll see you around, right Noa? [Smiles.]

[strengthtohelp.livejournal.com]

Definitely. Have a good rest of the day.
