Who: Lunafreya and YOU!
Broadcast: Yes!
Action: YAS!
When: Directly after the shuffle!

[ Twin Roses ]

[ The Twin Roses has a very new, and... probably very temporary communications officer. She's not been on this vessel before, and temporary as she may end up being, she is still keen to explore the ship and meet all of the people within it. Lunafreya may be a little out of her element here, though. She certainly feels like it, considering that she is currently dressed in a rather elaborate wedding gown. It's a bit embarrassing, really, considering... well. The circumstances.

Nevertheless, Lunafreya can be found wandering in various areas of the ship -- the kitchens, the bridge, and of course, communications. Despite her current state of dress, she will be more than happy to be distracted by a pleasant face and a decent conversation. Newbie to this ship she may be, newbie to the Fleet she is not. At least there won't be any silly questions? ]

[ Video ]

[ Having found her way to her quarters, Lunafreya sits on the end of her bed. She has yet to change into the provided clothing that the Fleet fortunately has to offer, because there are far more important matters to tend to at the moment. She offers a soft smile. ]

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. My name is Lunafreya Nox Fleuret, and I was here many moons ago, though I know not how long it has actually been here for the rest of you. [ Ten years have passed in her world... and time doesn't work that way here, if she recalls correctly. ] I was hoping to not only say hello and reintroduce myself, but to perhaps get a role call as to who is still here and who is not.

[ The first time she was here, there was a sadness about her. This time around, that sadness is gone, replaced with something akin to fulfillment, gratitude, and... happiness. Content, even. And it certainly shows on both her face and in her voice. The smile she wears widens and warms further. ]

I look forward to seeing all of my dear friends in person very soon. I cannot wait to both see you all and hear all of the wonderful stories of the time you've spent here.

[ After their first twelve year stint apart, and then another ten years separated by time, death, and a crystal... she's learned that patience is a virtue. And the dead have all the time in the world to wait, which is why she was able to keep herself from grabbing her communicator and announcing her presence. ]

I am very well, but should I not be asking you that question, dear? I was indeed on the Marsiva for nearly twenty four hours, yes. I did not want to make you upset with a mere call. I wanted to wait until I could see you in person... ah, yes, I'll be here. This is my first time upon this vessel as well.

[ She hopes he isn't mad at her for staying quiet, but honestly she knows how he is and she didn't want the poor man to be like a rabid dog waiting for her to get shuffled onto a ship. He would have been worried and concerned and upset and she didn't want that for him... she wanted to be able to have a proper re-reunion, one that didn't keep them totally separated like they would have been on the Marsiva.

The first thing she can hear is the clicking of nails, and she knows Noctis must be here because Umbra is now here. What she's not expecting is Pryna, and she's absolutely shocked. Immediately she is crouched down and her arms are around them both. Both of her babies... she buries her face into their soft fur and pets them gently. Umbra and Pryna... she hasn't seen you two in ages. Well, she sees Pryna in the beyond but Pryna is no longer bound to a physical form and she does travel around...

But Noctis is here now. She kisses each dog on the cheek and straightens up again, looking at her dearly beloved. He's so young... she can only keep herself from going to him for so long, though. She offers him a deep bow, not just as a wife to her husband but as an Oracle to her King. ]

My sweet King... forgive my absence.

[ Once she's straightened, that's it. She darts over to him and throws her arms around him in a tight embrace, her smile widening and her eyes closing. He's so young, but he's still hers. From what Kaname said, it's only been a few months... and yet for Luna, it has been ten years since the last she saw Noctis so youthful. She draws back a short distance so she can properly see his face, and she places her hands on his cheeks, before she leans up to kiss him. ]

_{[He doesn't know how patient the dead can be. He had no patience when she died. He wanted everything out of his way, he wanted to kill everything, he wanted his enemies to suffer, he wanted... he just wanted her back. To not be the failure that let her die. The one thing he wanted to do was save her and he failed so spectacularly...

So she wanted to say nothing because he'd be too upset trying to get to her. Hey. He isn't a rabid dog. He... okay he may or may not resemble that remark but be nice to him. He's ur hubby. He's been through a lot without you. They were on peaceful planets and it was the worst thing ever. Without her it felt hollow.

On the Twin Roses he sees her face when both the dogs are with her. They are together now. A happy family. Mom, Dad, and the kids. He gives her a moment to see Pryna, to offer them hugs and then there's nothing between them. He's already stepping over to her. Closing this gap that feels like miles.]}

No, you don't bow to me. You bow to no one.

_{[King and Oracle or not, he ought to be bowing to her if anything but he wants to leave that at home. Here they can just be themselves. He pulls her in close as she's throwing her arms around him. He hugs her to his chest, he can't believe it. She's really here. She fits in his arms so perfectly like they were made to fit together. He is crying in full now. He can't help it, he lets one sob out and the tears are flowing down his cheeks. He smiles at her. He holds her face in his hands as she kisses him and then he can kiss all over her cheeks, her eyes, her forehead.]}

I thought I'd never see you again.

[ He'll learn soon enough, when everything is over and he's forced to sit back and watch his friends begin the long process of overhauling the world piece by piece as he sits idly. She knows that feeling very, very well... but at the very least they will be together this time and both be fulfilled in the fact that they did their part, the hardest part is over for their star. It will take generations upon generations to restore the world back to what it was, but it's a start. But he didn't fail... it was her destiny to die. Please never think you failed her, Noctis...

She can only imagine how much he's been through, sweet man. When she had returned home, she hadn't had time to think about it much. There was too much going on, she had to watch over his friends and the crystal... ten years passes both slowly and quickly when time is never ending. And then he'd emerged and she was able to help him... but the Noctis she left behind here has no idea about any of that, not yet. He had to suffer again without her.

His words have her smiling again... of course he'd say something like that. But he deserves proper respect, he is her King.

She uses a thumb to wipe his tears away from his cheeks, and her other hand moves to run her fingers through his hair soothingly. He's been through so much at home, and now here, too, and it's all her fault. To be in his arms is all Luna has ever really wanted, and the familiar of being held and being able to hold him, too, puts her at ease. She nuzzles him as he bestows her with his affections, and her smile widens. ]

I could never stay away from you that long, my sweet husband. [ ...It's a good thing that time is frozen again at home, or else she'd have a very confused Noctis there, too. Whoops. ] I'm so sorry for being pulled away from you... but I am here now, and I promise I will make it all up to you, my love.

_{[He will love and hate that. He will so badly want to help but he can also get into sitting back and just relaxing with the love of his life... and his afterlife. And shush with that. He already blames himself. He can't unlearn that.

He will never have any idea what she went through. He will pass through ten years in an instant with no clue. He can only imagine the horrors... and imagine it by the evidence of what happened. The destruction, the shelters, the abundance of daemon slayers.

And no. He's just a guy here. shhhhh...

Her touch... just her gentle touch has more tears flowing. He can't stop them. He won't try to. Her voice, her scent, her touch. He is overwhelmed of course. He pets her hair back too, twirling her ponytail in his hand.]}

It's not your fault, Luna. It's okay... it's okay. But... you're here now. I'm here for you too. Maybe... _{[He is suddenly aware of them standing in the open.]}

Maybe we should go to your room.

[ She'll... well, she DID finally feel complete, sitting alongside him. He'd looked so regal in his royal uniform, sitting in his throne. Granted, that was all in the afterlife... but it was one of her proudest moments. It was also just a few days ago and it's still very, very fresh on her mind. They're just going to have to kick back and watch the world heal and come back together. One day his friends will join them, too. But for now, they'll just have to deal with being alone in the afterlife together.

Having to watch the darkness consume the world was very cringeworthy to say the least. There was nothing she could do about it except watch and pray for the people of their star to remain vigilant and strong and know that their King would return to them soon enough.

...He is wonderful, he is not just A Guy. He is Her Guy.

Sweet man, she leans up on her toes to kiss him again, just a light touch of lips to lips, before she comes back down to balance her weight on her high heels once more. ]

I am here now, and I am glad for that. We should go to my quarters for now, yes.

[ She pulls away from him, but takes his hand instead. The halls are tight, just like in every other ship, and she has to use her unoccupied hand to lift her dress up and away from the floor to keep both herself and him from stepping on it. There's not a whole lot of room, after all. She leads him into her small room and closes the door behind them, sitting on the edge of the bed and patting the space next to her. ]

How long has it been since the last we have seen one another, Noctis?

_{[He was complete too. He was so relieved... it was finally over. His burden lifted, his calling fulfilled. The world was saved and he could relish the company of his beloved at last.

He can only imagine the horrors she witnessed without the ability to do anything about it. He wishes he could have helped... more than just absorbing all the light but he will deal with that when the time comes.

And damn right he's her guy. Or man. He's a man now thanks.

He kisses her slowly and wraps his arms around her waist. When she backs away he almost pouts. He squeezes her hand and hurries along behind her trying to not step on her gown. It's nice and Ignis isn't here to sew it back if he rips it. But soon they are alone and the dogs lay in the corner of the room where there's space. Noct sits at her side. Well, he pushes her gown around so he can sit at her side and not have all that tulle squeezing between them. He takes her hand]}

...Almost four months. It felt like years. What about you? Did you notice a difference in time? Why are you in your wedding dress?

[ It really puts perspective to the whole 'resting in peace' thing, doesn't it?

He is definitely her man, yes. Her sweet, adorable, handsome man.

As much as she is enjoying this, being held so close and kissing, they *are* out in the open and she really doesn't want anyone walking in on them, either. The look on his face makes her giggle and reach up to lightly tap his nose, before she leads him down the corridors and into her small quarters. Once the dogs are settled, once they get her gown situated so there is enough room for him to sit comfortably with her, she laces her fingers with his and lightly squeezes his hand. It's question time, undoubtedly, and... yep. ]

Four months... is that all? It was years for me. Ten, to be exact. [ She pauses at that last question. ] Because we finally got to have our wedding...

_{[Yes, he supposes it does... at least he has her. And his father. But mostly her.

He loves you too, beautiful~

And he's in agreement on that, he wants to get behind a closed door too. He is relieved to just have moments like this. He thought he'd never have it again. So when she squeezes his hand and drops that bomb on him it takes a moment to sink in.]}

...Ten years? We.... what do you mean we... _{[It dawns on him and his eyes grow wide then he looks sad.]}

Oh, Luna... Luna I'm sorry.

[ Luna... that's not the end she wanted for Noctis. She'd expressed it to him here on multiple occasions, that she hoped that the prophecy was wrong or there was a way around sacrificing the life of the Chosen. She had hoped and prayed, even at home, standing as a ghostly figure outside of the Crystal, that somehow it would be okay. But it wasn't meant to be. ]

Yes, ten years... [ She shifts a little and finally lifts her gaze to meet his, her free hand coming to rest on his cheek. ]

You should not apologize, Noctis... you did nothing wrong. You did everything right, as a matter of fact. Order has been restored and the light has been returned to our star. And you and I... remain together in death. Though... I do wish it would have been different for you. So if anyone should be apologizing, my dear, it should be I.

_{[Noctis wasn't really with her on that. He didn't want to die really, but he didn't want to live without her. If he lived he would have been miserable without her. He couldn't have brought himself to marry someone else. To father someone else's child. He is relieved honestly... that it's over. He hates leaving his friends but he will see them again someday. He is relieved. Just so relieved and it's visible on his face and in the hunch of his shoulders.

He takes their joined hands, lifts hers to his lips and kisses her knuckles.]}

No... no don't say sorry. I promised you we'd be together again someday. I'm glad we are. Knowing that makes it easier to go on. It's not your fault, Luna. This is how it has to be. I'm glad we can stay together though... that's... _{[He wishes he didn't have to choose between his friends and his love. He wishes he could have a normal life and have it all but he can't and if he can't... then everyone else in his world can. He must sacrifice all for everyone else. He looks at Luna, kisses her fingers. He can do that. Gladly, even.]}

That's good for us. Finally. Nothing can tear us apart.

Edited 2018-03-26 00:29 (UTC)

[ He certainly seemed a lot calmer now that the world was finally at peace and they had an eternity together to watch the world heal and evolve. She just... wishes that he could sit on the Lucian throne and have a long, happy life. But she can give him a happy afterlife, and she will do her best.

She smiles at him again, albeit a little guilty. Why is he so sweet? ]

I was prepared to accept my own fate, Noctis. But not so much yours... I had hoped and prayed that there would be another way. I am overjoyed to be reunited with you forevermore at home, but I am sorry that things turned out the way they did. You deserved far more than the fate that you were handed.

[ She wishes that, too. She wishes that he hadn't had a choice but to stay and live on... but she can't change what happened. What is *going* to happen to him. Parted from the living or not, he'd seemed content enough... even now he seems to accept his fate. She leans up to peck his lips affectionately, and her free hand cups his cheek gently. ]

It is good for us... but I feel selfish. I always wanted us to be together... but not like this. I wanted you to live until you were an old man... I could have, and would have waited. Gladly so, even.

_{[Like he could have had a happy life without her. It may have been happy with his friends but he would have been hollow without Luna. He lost her once for twelve years... never again.]}

You deserved it too. We both did... but I am happy to be together. I promised you we'd be together again and we are. That's enough for me.

_{[He kisses her slowly and hooks his arms around her waist so she can't pull away so soon.]}

Oh gross, me as an old man? No way, all wrinkley and... saggy? I want to be like this, same age as you. _{[Hot and cool forever.]}

[ Oh, she doesn't think so... time heals all wounds, and she thinks he could have had a fabulous life full of love, and friendship, and light. All of the things he deserved and more.... but of course that wouldn't come to be and despite having lived... unlived? it, it still stings a little. ]

I am happy to be together finally, too... not being able to touch you or properly communicate for long periods of time... all those years were awful. But I would have gladly waited many more.

[ She returns his kiss and smiles, winding her arms around his neck. Silly man, how she adores you. Her smile turns a bit playful at that last bit.... ]

It's funny you should say that... it has been ten years since the last I'd seen you looking so youthful, you know. You were thirty when I was pulled back here...

Edited 2018-04-01 02:57 (UTC)

_{[No. Never. He's a stubborn ass and he doesn't want to do it. He wants his woman and he wants his friends and if he can't have them he won't replace them. Yes, that's bratty, no he doesn't care.

He hums as she gets a little playful. He kisses her over and over, interrupting her sentence.]}

Mmm, youthful huh? How did I look at 30? Was I gorgeous? Like a model? _{[He's joking but he also genuinely wonders. While he's busy macking on his girl, that is.]}

[ She grins and bursts out into laughter at all of his kisses. She places her hands against his cheeks and her smile widens further. ]

Of course you were gorgeous, dear. That much certainly never changes. You are the most handsome man in any and all universes, my love.

_{[Oh, that sound. Her sweet infectious laughter. Luna... sweet Luna. His darling. He is so glad to have her back. He can't help it, he kisses her lips then.]</sub?

I missed you laughing. Luna... I couldn't stand it when you left, I wanted to go to sleep and never wake up.}

[ Poor Noctis. She knows how he is, she's seen his brooding in action even if he hadn't realized she was right there. She kisses him in return and strokes his cheeks. ] My dear, sweet Noctis... you mustn't think like that. I never want that for you... here or at home, I would want you to lead a full, happy life. With or without me.

_{[The brooding was so he didn't have to express what was inside. He loved her so much but he was too cool sometimes to tell her. Or anyone. He wanted to be better. Knowing he was going to die helped. It sobered him.]}

Luna... you know I won't have that. Why was I still alive in ten years anyway?

[ Poor, dear man. She doesn't mind if he doesn't tell her those things, because she already knows. At home, she'd worried, it's true. She hadn't had the time to tell him her true feelings, not while alive at least. And even after death, she'd had to have Gentiana deliver that particular message to him. ]

But you can have that here, can you not? You were still alive because you needed to fulfill your destiny, my dear. You disappeared into the crystal for those ten years, and when that happened Eos fell into complete and utter darkness.

_{[He was already crushed when she died and then Gentiana gave him that and it punched him in the soul. He cried like a bitch and it wasn't his fault, he couldn't help that.]}

We can both have that here. Can't we? Isn't that the point?

... wh... ten years!? That's... no. No no... the nights were growing longer before we got to Gralea. But... _{[He is distressed now, looking like he wants to object but unsure just what he can reasonably call out.]} Tell me the world didn't... everybody didn't die?

[ Poor Noctis. She's seen him at his lowest... and she's seen him at his strongest, too. Everyone has their breaking points, he cannot be faulted for that... ]

We can, yes. But my point is that even if I was not here, you could have a wonderful life and existence here. A chance to grow old and have a lie outside of duty and royalty.

Ten years, yes, darling. I speak the truth. [ She waits for him to calm down before she continues. ] No, my dear... a good portion of the population did indeed pass, but there was still a large number of people alive. Your friends included.

No. NO I don't want to live without you. _{[He froze and... there it was. It was true, it had to be if it came rushing out like that. He didn't want to die but he didn't want to be without her. He didn't want to be without his friends or his father or his old life. He had to give up so much and he could just see it now. Giving in at the end may just be the easier path... he knows what Bahamut said. His life for the world.]}

I... no. No no... I... I didn't want to spend that long in the crystal, I was only going to take in the light in the ring and leave. It takes that long?

Noctis, my love, don't say that... [ She doesn't want him to feel like that, either. She wants him to just... she wants him to have a long, happy life. If there was some way that she could erase his destiny and change it, she'd do just that. Even if she couldn't be with him, it would be both an honor and a privilege to watch him from the sidelines, starting a family and growing old and living and ruling happily. ]

It does take that long, yes. Ten years in the Crystal will surely feel like a mere few seconds to you... when you return to the world, it will be darkness and daemons. But your friends have taken good care of things in your absence, and your loyal Kingsglaive eagerly await your return.

It's... the truth though. I feel pulled in so many directions. I want to live. I want to be with the guys. But I want to be with my dad and you. _{[And honestly the list of the dead he can rejoin is getting longer and longer. His mother is there too, Ravus... Sylva, Clarus... so many people from Insomnia, he had to have known some of them.]}

I thought the kingsglaive all died in Insomnia, are you saying they didn't? I... so it's all over for me then. When I go home it's a few seconds then flash to ten years later and it's time to... die.

But then I can keep my promise to you. We can be together again.

I would imagine you do feel pulled about. That is a normal feeling to have... I felt that way, too. All I wanted was to be with you. To remain at your side was a dream that I'd had since I was a girl, and yet I knew it was not meant to be. That you and I were never meant to be together in life. [ She looks down at that, because it sounds stupid and selfish, but... it's how she'd felt, and it's what she'd known. ]

No, some survived, and they faithfully awaited your return. Cor the Immortal included. [ She bites her lip. ] Yes... when you go home, when you return to Eos and awaken from your time in the Crystal, you will have mere days left. You and I will meet one last time at the Citadel... and the next we will see each other is when I greet you in the beyond.

[ She does cringe this time, and she quickly looks up at him, the displeasure clear on her face. ]

I would have waited an eternity for you, you know. I wanted to be with you, but not like this. Never like this. I wanted to be able to watch you experience life and rule for many, many years... I failed you in that aspect. I could not save you... forgive me, Noctis.
