QUESTIONS FOR MUNS.

In spite of the hardships and trauma, he preferred to put a happy face on it. The preference did not equate to an escape, but more as a means to deal with things easier. Over time, he learned that strength wasn't just about how much damage he could deal with his fists.

Pouring his heart out to Rex just now wasn't an easy feat. Each time Law talked about his family, he reopened old wounds. Back then, regrets and guilt often got to him, that not even meditation and training could alleviate his heart of the burden he had to carry for the rest of his life.

But with this newfound strength, he hoped he could help Rex ease some of that burden off his shoulders as well. Sometimes, all someone needed was an ear to listen, a shoulder to lean on. Law hoped he could be that kind of friend for Rex, whether it would be tonight or sometime soon.

" The World Tree was a tree lookin' structure on the outside that stood tall in the middle and center of the sea, a place where a supposed utopia existed. But alas, the utopia was long dead, no signs of life at all. And the world tree itself was entirely metal on the inside, all sorts of robots n' advanced technology I'd never seen before. It actually led allllll the way up into space too. It was a real pretty sight even though there were plenty of unfortunate events that went on that day. " His fingers fidget and twiddle with one another as he gazes up at the sky, memories coming back to him with no issues. It only takes a second to remember most things about his life beyond his earliest childhood years. " It was after we fought this guy named Malos and we beat him that... we began our escape because the World Tree had been collapsing. I remember rushing with everyone to get to the escape pods, and once we crossed the bridge, before Pyra n' Mythra could get across it broke. I wanted to just go over, to try and see if we could bring them over but no matter how hard I tried nothing seemed to work. "

Breath, just breath Rex.

Upon his own thoughts reminding him to breath he takes a deep and steady breath when he starts continuing on. Golden hues glaze over lightly and glisten like the stars above as the moon reflects it's light down on them. " They'd been plannin' on sacrificing themselves to save Alrest from the World Tree collapsing on top of it. And... And I tried gettin' one of my friends to help me but... then she told me that Mythra n' Pyra made her promise to not help me, 'cause they knew. I begged and pleaded but everyone told me that they'd made their choice and I had to respect it. I... I didn't want to. I wanted to help them,. I didn't care if something happened to me 'cause I was scared to loose 'em but... we eventually had to go to the escape pods. They fused their crystal together, taking the piece of crystal out of my chest and their chest and... and made it whole as it floated into my hands before we left. "

He looks down at the ground before sighing. " And as you can see, we have new more secure land. They managed to save Alrest and... they returned to their crystal. Within a few minutes after escaping n' being safe, their Crystal started to glow again. And they formed in front of me once again. I think that was the first time I'd cried so hard in a good long amount of months as I ran up to them and hugged 'em. But yet.. even though they're fine, that day haunts my nightmares along with a few other things but, that'd be the main thing. I was so scared... I've lost enough people in my life, I can't handle the idea of loosin' more. And especially not them. "

it looks like there's a site wide glitch going on where tumblr's making people randomly unfollow people for no apparent reason?? not only that but the MUTUAL CHECKER seems to be a little wonky as well. i'm hoping @changes will talk about it tomorrow in their post talking about any changes, fixes, upcoming, and news.

A part of Sarah was relieved that her memory and intuition didn't fail her, but now she wished she should have had come up with a better conversation starter than this. Moreover, Naminé looked like she was deep in her thoughts before Sarah came into the picture.

Ah, I should've held back my excitement. She placed a hand against her chest, her expression sheepish. Maybe asking that wasn't the best first move. But since I've already asked... She then took a deep breath, her smile gentle towards the current stranger.

"You're absolutely right. This is actually the first time we've met. I'm sorry for dropping the ball like this as soon as we met." She glanced at the ground for a moment before her eyes met Naminé's again. "Well... it's not often I see someone I'd recognize in a whole new world almost right away," she explained. "I guess I got too excited to meet someone's friend."

" O-Oh no that's alright! You just caught me off-guard! Sorry, I hope that wasn't coming across as rude or anything. " Namine stammers out, she feels bad herself now, she should've been more welcoming than that! Though... her interest is peaked when the other says she recognizes her, she wonders how for a moment until it dawns on her when Sarah says 'someone's friend'. For she knows this isn't a friend of Sora or anyone she knows at least to what she's aware of which means-

Yep, it was Noctis! Her dearest friend ever, she feels... happy he talked about her, she's glad to know he still has remembered her even after their departure from one another. " Wow... yeah that for sure rings a bell for me. It's been a good while since I've heard the name though from anyone else besides myself. Well... probably because out of my other friends I'm the only one who met him to my knowledge. He helped me a lot... I'm really grateful to him. He means the world and more to me honestly. "

Namine softly smiles at the memories of him even despite the guilt of what she did still lingering on the memories... he knows if she could've that she wouldn't have done it but also she wouldn't change the past for the life of her. Because that's what's led her up to now, to her truest version of herself. And she's content with that.

" He... he talked about me? " She says with curiosity, as anyone else would. " If it's okay to ask... what'd he tell you about? "

"Are you kidding me? That's what I liked talking about the most. They even thought you were just some imaginary fishing buddy. No matter what they'd say, I'm still proud to pass down my prowess to a friend who actually sees the greatness in fishing."

If he was ten years younger, he could have taken more offense in his friends' long-time disinterest in fishing. But times have changed, and so did his own stance towards the relentless teasing of his pals.

Whether it was age or the inner peace from liberating the world and oneself, everything simply felt... lighter. Any semblance of happy ending was far from reality, so he was simply happy; the same kind of happiness when he drove on the Regalia with his best friends not too long ago.

Her outspoken and honest nature was still quite new for Noctis. When they last met, the words she spoke displayed her bravery. But now, she exuded confidence and determination that could have been a result of whatever she went through.

"Heh. I'm honored to be of such great importance for you, then," he bowed in jest for good measure. "Can't believe we only spent time together at that Castle, but we feel like we've known each other forever. Or is that just me?"

Gazing out into the skyline, he couldn't agree more with her sentiment. "This is what the people who gave their lives for Insomnia, and Eos as whole. I just wish they could've seen this for themselves."

The statement was wishful thinking, even for a King for him. But it still showed how there was some of that youthful optimism that lingered despite the time passed.

"Not to brag, but the city's pretty big, and there's a lot of places we can visit. The fountain is a good start; always a picturesque place." He folded his arms against his chest. "Can't believe there was a time we walked around here on foot. Sure, we slept from time to time, but I kinda underestimated how large Insomnia was."

A chuckle escaped his lips. "No can do. I have to live up to the standards, including height. Heh. Wait till you meet Gladiolus, your neck will hurt from trying to meet his eyes," he stated with an exaggerated excitement.

Her honesty and outspokenness was new to her as well, in fact she feels as if she's more confidant acting like this when with him. It's not as if she doesn't trust her other friends to act like this around with no, that's not it at all. She just simply found that he's someone that she feels she can trust with the deepest parts of her. But yes, all of this newfound outspokenness, confidence, and so much more was definitely a result of everything she'd been through to say the least.

" No, not just you I feel like I've known you forever as well. ...Buuut that might be a little bit because of what happened back at Castle Oblivion. The rest though? I think it's because we came to understand each other, that we ended up becoming some of the dearest of friends. Or at least, you're one of my dearest friends. " There's something more soft spoken about it compared to what else she's said, for there's obviously guilt still lingering from what she had done. But at the same time? She does feel like ever despite it, they did genuinely bond.

A small hum leaves her mouth as she processes his words, for she can understand them, she offers him something with her own wishful thinking. " But they have seen it for themselves, and I bet they're PROUD of you. While... they may no long be here in a physical sense. They're forever in your heart and memory, so, think of it as them seeing it through you as you live on your own years. "

Her smile is tugging at her lips evidently once again, to hear him talk about Insomina... it felt so sweet. She can practically see the love he has for his people and rebuilding the place, so how could she not just smile at that. Though when she mentions his friend Gladious, she lets out a laugh, " Oh? Is he really that tall? Jeez then, looks like I'm gonna have to hope on your shoulders in order not to break my neck when I'm talking to him. "
