Locke really admires Lightning's strength. That's why, when she suggested they explore this place together in surch of ultimate weapons, he didn't hesitate. He knows they could work well together. Actually, she's quite similar to Celes in many ways. She's strong and capable, versatile, while also not talking much. It might be intimidating for some people, especially since they don't know each other that much, but for Locke, it's more than find. He can do the conversation by himself if he has to.

"The cave should be nearby," he told her, looking at her with a soft smile on his lips. "I doubt the weapon will be easy to find, though. I'm sure we'll have to face some kind of trials." But they'll work together and they'll manage. Locke just knows it.

Will he stop talking ? Probably not. Lightning can’t say she loves this world very much. There are way too many people around her, and even her comrades from her own world aren’t from the same time period. It’s CONFUSING. She wishes she could just concentrate on the missions, on the upcoming fights, but she just can’t. Especially with Genesis talking about his goddess, or whoever he’s talking about.

There’s a CURIOUS smile on Aerith’s features as she approaches the newcomer. This world is full of surprises; there are always new people around. Some are coming from the same word, and some don’t know each other at all. It’s special. Aerith is friendly by nature, so of course, she’s always more than happy to talk with these new people. 

Aranea had arrived in that world quite recently, and she had noticed Noctis and his friends were there, too, but were also surrounded by other people coming from different worlds similar to theirs. She wasn’t sure she understood everything, but if she was requested to fight, she would do it witout hesitation. She had been a commodore, after all.

People were talking too much though, trying to take a decision of where to go first. Aranea had been part of the conversation at first, but the others seemed to complicate everything way too much, so she had left and sat on a rock instead. When she saw the other approach, she couldn’t help but smirk.

Bartz was always glad to lend a helping hand when the going gets tough as the monsters were surely defeated with ease, he breathed a breath of fresh air before making the sword he was holding vanish back into his hand before looking at Celes as he sheepishly grinned with a hand on his head.

“Ahhh, I deeply apologize for surprising you there Celes as I didn’t mean to scare anyone but when I saw the monsters advancing…I couldn’t just stand by and allow this to happen, you alright?”

He asked, a look of concern for his friend.

Celes shook her head. She hadn’t been scared by Bartz; she had been surprised to be helped since she was able to fight on her own. Well, having his help had been a good thing too, but she was so independent, she rarely voiced that kind of thought. So for now, she only chuckled briefly as she looked at him.

Cecil: Same

Noctis: Same

Cloud: I never knew my dad.

Tidus: My dad turned into a giant sky whale.

-Everyone stares at Tidus-

Squall: ....Yeah my dad's dead too.

“You really saved my butt out there, Claire. If I didn’t know any better I would say you were a natural!”

"We'll find them. I know we will." In this world, it seems to happen way too often that the group is forced to part because of monsters or anything other threat. Well, the fact that the group is huge surely doesn't help, but Locke wishes things could be simpler. He needs to protect his friends from his world, but he wants to protect everyone else, too. It's not his type to let people suffer. Now he's alone with Squall, and even if the other isn't the most talkative, Locke wants to be there for him, too. "We just have to be careful in case we're outnumbered. But they can't be too far."
