[Simon's feeling kind of down on his luck today; Denzel's gone, Cloud's still with Tifa, and Anise's kidnapping is sort of the icing on the cake. He's hanging out by the southern river closest to the shop plaza, attempting to skip stones.

Someone come cheer the kid up?]

It's okay to be a little sad, though.

[Offers a smile.] He's probably thinking about you too.

[action]

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

Maybe. If he didn't forget about me. [That's happened before, after all.]

[action]

[outsetsailor.livejournal.com]

Do people forget each other when they go back home?

[action]

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

Sometimes. Not always, but it still happens...

[action]

[Kicks his feet, sending a rock into the river, before commenting.] I don't think he forgot. Siblings don't forget each other.

[action]

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

...You really believe that?

[action]

[outsetsailor.livejournal.com]

[Nods.] Yeah, because you're family. You never really forget, even though a lot of things are happening. You always think about each other.

...I think. [He rubs the back of his head, feeling awkward.]

I dunno... we're not really brothers, so...

[action]

[outsetsailor.livejournal.com]

But you're still close.

[action]

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

Yeah... we were brothers for a long time.

[outsetsailor.livejournal.com]

Then it'll be okay.

[He grabs the bag hanging from his belt.] Do you want a cookie?

[action]

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

Mm. [He perks up a bit.] You have cookies?

[action]

[outsetsailor.livejournal.com]

Yeah! I got them yesterday, so they're still really good. My friend made them.

[He opens the bag.] You can take as many as you want. I have more at home.

[action]

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

[Simon brightens and takes one, not wanting to be greedy.] It's really good - thank you!

[action]

[outsetsailor.livejournal.com]

[He grins and pulls out another, offering it to him while putting the bag away with his other hand.]

Take this one, too. I hope you feel better.

[action]

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

[Simon takes it with a faint smile, nodding his thanks.]

I'll be okay. I hope you find your friend, too.

[action]

[outsetsailor.livejournal.com]

I will. [He turns away from the river and gives a little wave.]

Bye!

[And he's off... again.]

[Simon's just gonna watch him go curiously, idly waving. Didn't even get a name, but he was nice to talk to.]
