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? ]

[ 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.

_{[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.
