❖ Video ❖ Mai + Traverse Town [007]

[savesjerkbenders]

Great. This place again.

[For those that recognize the buns and the very dull look, Mai's not looking anymore different than the last time you saw her. Her arms crossed over her chest as a moogle floated by around her. She didn't like it, she didn't like being back here, but at least she wasn't going to freak out about it.]

I know, I know. [She rolled her eyes at the moogle.] I can stay at the inn for a couple of days. Don't worry about it. If there's a certain belt-hogging boy still living in Radiant Gardens, I won't have to take an inn.

[She started walking but there's something trailing around her feet, the upcoming mist. She waved a hand in front of her before turning to the moogle.]

Is a storm coming? This mist is persistent. It's going to drench my dre- hey!

[The girl moved quickly, a little too quickly for an average girl. The moogle was cradled safely in her arms completely knocked out. She poked at it's cheek.]

Did you fall asleep on me? Rude. You're supposed to be helping... helping... help-

[She couldn't seem to finish that question. She fell to her knees, her dress pooling around her as she tried to keep herself steady. Something was making her drowsy and she wasn't doing very well putting up against it.]

What's going on. I can't- Leon. [And she fell forward. Disappearing underneath the must.]

[Oh, no. Leon. She's going to get that information out of you somehow.]

And what about you?

[action]

[notsquall]

[And she's not going to let up until she gets it, is she? Leon just kind of shifts from one foot to the other for a moment, not sure how to answer.]

The Restoration Committee's been pretty demanding of my attention.

[It's... an elusive answer, but still an answer! Sort of. Kind of?]

[action]

[savesjerkbenders]

[Ouch, Leon. Don't worry though, she'll get it out of you.]

I see. I'm glad at least Griever missed me.

[Totally letting you go and moving off.]

[action]

[notsquall]

[What do you expect? Leon's terrible at this sort of thing, especially when the closest thing he gives to nice words and compliments tend to be backhanded ones.]

H-Hey, come on. That's not-- [He sighs and pinches the bridge of his nose.] I just meant... [He eventually just grunts in frustration at his inability to find the words and crosses his arms again.] Whatever...

[savesjerkbenders]

[She takes a seat again.]

Are we leaving?

[action]

[notsquall]

It's kind of dangerous to be outside. [He pauses, rubbing the back of his neck.]

...And I wasn't exactly expecting guests.

[Which is pretty much Leon for "My house is a wreck and not in proper condition for a lady".]

[savesjerkbenders]

[She smirked.]

Taking back what's yours, you're such a boy.

[action]

[notsquall]

[Frooown.]

What's that supposed to mean? I don't want you to get hurt.

This place looks like a bachelor pad.
