[Private to Cloud]

Papa? I... wanna ask you something, if it's okay...

A-and you shouldn't be so shy about getting married! Uncle Zack says getting hitched is friggin' sweet. ... He said not to say it like that though.

EDIT:

[Private to Sephiroth]

...Where do you want me to dig the hole?

What?

Um... Mister Sephiroth asked for a favour...

[identity profile] herobydefault.livejournal.com 2008-05-20 04:54 am (UTC)(link)
...Oh. That.


...Simon, I'm not comfortable with it.

[identity profile] dawndigger.livejournal.com 2008-05-20 04:55 am (UTC)(link)
Huh? But why not? I can do it! I can dig a hole!

[identity profile] herobydefault.livejournal.com 2008-05-20 04:58 am (UTC)(link)
I know you can. I've seen your maps, and all the work you've done and Simon, you're incredible.

...But I don't want you to do this.

[identity profile] dawndigger.livejournal.com 2008-05-20 05:04 am (UTC)(link)
Well why not? It's no different than everything else I did. It's just that someone's telling me where to dig this time...

I... I want to help...!

[identity profile] herobydefault.livejournal.com 2008-05-20 05:11 am (UTC)(link)
It's dangerous. It's too close to the Malnosso, and I don't trust Sephiroth.

Simon, please listen to me on this.

[identity profile] dawndigger.livejournal.com 2008-05-20 05:17 am (UTC)(link)
Papa, I can't just do nothing... f-finally someone needs my help...! He asked for me!

N... nobody's ever done that...

[identity profile] herobydefault.livejournal.com 2008-05-20 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
I need you.

If something happened to you, Simon...

[identity profile] dawndigger.livejournal.com 2008-05-20 05:22 am (UTC)(link)
What could happen to me that couldn't have happened in the other tunnels?

It's better to dig into the mountain, even... it's harder, but the tunnel roof is more stable... it's safer than going under the river.

[identity profile] herobydefault.livejournal.com 2008-05-20 05:25 am (UTC)(link)
Because it's too close. The barrier is in the mountains, Simon, you know what's behind that? The Malnosso's headquarters. What if they caught you snooping around and took you?

[identity profile] dawndigger.livejournal.com 2008-05-20 05:27 am (UTC)(link)
But they always send people back anyway...

I won't get too close to the barrier! Tell me where it is and I won't dig that far!

[identity profile] herobydefault.livejournal.com 2008-05-20 05:30 am (UTC)(link)
That's not the point! I don't want you taken at all!


I already have a vague idea what Sephiroth's up to, and I know it's dangerous enough that he wouldn't tell me what it was. I don't want you involved.

[identity profile] dawndigger.livejournal.com 2008-05-20 05:31 am (UTC)(link)
Papa, I want to do it! I want to be useful!

P-please...!

[identity profile] herobydefault.livejournal.com 2008-05-20 05:34 am (UTC)(link)
...No.

I'm sorry, Simon. You're useful without this, and I'm not going to let you risk yourself because you're trying to prove something.

Isn't it enough that I need you...?

[identity profile] dawndigger.livejournal.com 2008-05-20 05:37 am (UTC)(link)
Y... you're just being selfish... you won't even let me try...!

A-and I'm not just trying to prove something... I-I'm trying to...

...I'm trying to be more like Papa...

[identity profile] herobydefault.livejournal.com 2008-05-20 05:43 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe I am being selfish. But damn it Simon, I'm sick of losing people!

You don't have to

Simon, I've done reckless things and gotten hurt, but you're seven years old. You're a child, my child actually, and it's my job -honor and duty- to protect you, not the other way around. Stop trying to be like me and just be yourself.

[identity profile] dawndigger.livejournal.com 2008-05-20 05:47 am (UTC)(link)
Y....

You're...

You're not my real papa!

A-and I will be myself! I'm Simon the Digger! Stop trying to protect me from all I'm good for!!

3/3

[identity profile] herobydefault.livejournal.com 2008-05-20 05:55 am (UTC)(link)




...No. I'm not your real father.

But I'm looking after you. And my answer is still no.

Papa

....

F... fine...

[identity profile] bene-elohim.livejournal.com 2008-05-20 06:12 am (UTC)(link)
It will be several holes, along the outskirts of the barrier but only two or three meters deep. However, I would rather you wait until I am prepared and with you.

[identity profile] dawndigger.livejournal.com 2008-05-20 06:14 am (UTC)(link)
P... Papa is worried about it, in case the Malnosso notice. He's scared they'll find me. S-so can you tell me where? The sooner it's done, the better chance I'll have. It might take a while...

[identity profile] bene-elohim.livejournal.com 2008-05-20 06:20 am (UTC)(link)
...I will trust that you have taken the appropriate measures. All of them. Unfortunately, I am pressed for time as well.

Near the peak of the mountain, there is an invisible barrier that is impassible. It spans the entire mountain, and I will need pits dug along it every ten meters. I will arrive momentarily, do not begin without me.

[identity profile] dawndigger.livejournal.com 2008-05-20 06:22 am (UTC)(link)
Hm? You mean my papa? I talked to him already.

Ten meters... okay. I'm already in the tunnel that goes to the mountain.

[identity profile] bene-elohim.livejournal.com 2008-05-20 06:25 am (UTC)(link)
...I believe I requested you not do that.

[identity profile] dawndigger.livejournal.com 2008-05-20 06:27 am (UTC)(link)
Um... but he's my papa, and I'm the one doing the work... and it turned out okay so don't be angry about it.

[identity profile] bene-elohim.livejournal.com 2008-05-20 06:33 am (UTC)(link)
...Fine.

Again, wait for me to arrive, Simon.

[identity profile] dawndigger.livejournal.com 2008-05-20 06:35 am (UTC)(link)
...Grumpy.

Okay. I'll be waiting.
