All around the Tower: Various places

Reno was going about his business, almost a bit too normal, though he did look confused once in a while, pausing and looking around. Of course, he was keeping his eye out for Xion to talk with her about what happened, but so far, he hadn't seen her... he wanted her to know he was all right, that nothing bad had happened, just some torture and a death. It seemed like the best thing to do, considering the circumstances.

And the fact he couldn't find her, or Elena for that matter (hadn't Ganondorf said something about a blond friend?) that had him just a bit worried. Nothing was wrong, right? They'd both escaped, so she... should have been somewhere he could find her, at least. Right?

[She doesn't react. Doesn't look up. If she hadn't been thinking of Saix her head wouldn't have gone in this direction but now that the thought is there it just won't go away.]

Like me?

[midgarhorizon]

[Oh shit. That wasn't what he meant. Nothing at all like he had meant, but when she said that he remembered their discussion before.]

C'mon, kiddo, you know that isn't what I meant... I heard it said back home 'Life is never a mistake.'

[Sitting back down now, he sighed.]

Wanna know somethin' about me?

[attheclocktower]

[She doesn't say anything. When she's trapped in a cycle of self-loathing like this, it's difficult to break out of, no matter who for. At last, she manages to lift her head and look up at him. She still isn't speaking, but there's a clear question in her gaze, or at least enough interest that he could probably continue.

She's listening. Or trying at least.]

I used to think I was a mistake, too. That my parents hadn't meant to have kids, especially ones like me.

[There's no sign he's joking here. His face is almost, blank.]

[attheclocktower]

[That gets her to look up. Startled, eyes wide, her face shocked, even disbelieving. How could... how could he even believe something like that!?

It's enough to jerk her out of her downward spiral, at least a bit.]

[midgarhorizon]

[He smiles a bit now, but it's humorless, more bitter.]

There wasn't a lot to make me think otherwise, until later. It took someone to kick my ass real bad and point a gun to my head. Changed everything.

[He pointed to her, close to her nose almost to poking it.]

That someone told me everyone's got a place, and there are no mistakes.
