Day 35: Twin Pines Restaurant

[byname-bynature.livejournal.com]

(From here!)

Artemis walked into the restaurant and glanced around at the decor. He wasn't impressed, but he wasn't disdainful either. He simply smiled. It was nice... for a town with a population of barely three hundred.

The boy smiled up at the person up front. "Two, if you please."

Hanyuu didn't mind not taking part in the conversation--she was relieved, actually. It kept her from having to answer the earlier question, at the very least. And, to be quite honest, it was what she was used to. Of course, both Archer and Celes knew she was there, so there was no need for her to feel guilty about listening to them talk.

So, she merely took the time to eat her lunch, listening to the two all the while.

Celes straightened another modicum. "I was the second General in the Imperial Army of Gestahl. I never lost a battle from my time as a chocobo knight up until my arrival here.

"Before this place, I used a wide variety of magic and strategy to get to my goal. Now, I've only a few paltry ice spells and the ability to heal. My swordsmanship has not suffered, thankfully." And she still needed to see if she could absorb a magical attack. The inability to would be extremely damaging.

Whoa. A general? She really was used to being in charge. With that little tidbit, everything seemed to fall into place.

Her flawless battle record seemed very impressive, but there was one thing he was concerned with. Chocobos... They don't sound like any creature I'm familiar with, but I know I've heard of them somewhere before...

"That's good to know. You're more than qualified to join my team tonight," Archer earnestly replied. As far as he was concerned, he'd hit the jackpot. She had brains, beauty, and brawn. What more could a guy possibly ask for? "The team will be meeting in the West Wing, North Hallway, right outside the men's dormitory, before we proceed to the basement."

Celes was a General? Wow... Hanyuu couldn't help but wonder how Landel's was to someone who was used to fighting, but she opted not to voice that question. There was no need to interrupt the conversation, and she didn't want to risk sounding rude or anything like that.

When Archer mentioned that he--and possibly Celes as well--was planning to go back to the basement, however, the spirit frowned slightly. Every place was dangerous come nightfall, but the basement was supposedly more so. Hanyuu had already accepted that they were all going to die, but that didn't mean she wanted to lose more people so soon... Hopefully they would both be all right...

The only thing a man could possibly ask for in Celes was for the gods to thaw her chilly personality. "Excellent. I'll meet you directly after they release us." Celes earnestly hoped that Hanyuu would not be joining them. It was hard enough to protect the other members of the team when her natural instinct was to protect the civilian.
