If anyone hasn't settled into their hotel room at the 7th Heaven, then please let Squall and I know. We'll get you a room at Garden, which is a training school for mercernaries and soldiers. We don't bite, so don't be afraid. Okay?

Hey, sweetie. How are you holding up?

[Squall looks overwhelmed.]

It’s fine. I’m fine. Others have more to be stressed about right now.

[Maybe true, maybe not. But at least their actual home came with them. Others have been completely displaced.]

[Rinoa looks concerned.]

Are you sure, Baby? You aren't looking too hot.

[Squall puts the back of his hand on his forehead.]

It's nothing. I'll deal with it. Maybe we should ... try gathering everyone together to talk to them in person?

[He's still so new to this trying to be a good leader thing. And this is definitely a situation that seems to call for a lot of them.]

[She purses her lips, looking further concerned. Is he sick? What's wrong?]

You aren't pregnant are you? [She teases.]

What do you want to talk to everyone about? It's okay, you can tell me.

[Squall goes completely red.]

Wha - ? Of course not! I ...

[He shakes his head.]

I don't even know. Isn't that what people do when there's a disaster? Get everyone together and just ... talk to them? Try to encourage them or something? Tell them what's being done to fix this?

[What is being done? He doesn't even know.]

We need to track down the guy who caused all of this.

[Rinoa tries not to laugh but she laughs anyway.]

Squall, calm down! It's a joke. You can't even get pregnant, you dote.

[She places a hand over her mouth to catch her giggles.]

Yes, you can do that. It would be a good idea actually. What is being done to fix it?

[She feels like he's talking in circles, instead of talking to her about the problem. Something he often does instead of getting his thoughts out.]

Wasn't it Sephiroth or something like that?

[Squall opts not to address the joke aside from a scowl.]

... Not enough. We're getting them places to live, and these tech devices, but they'll need more than that. They need to know more about this new world we're in, what kinds of dangers there are, things like that.

[At least some of the animal life is familiar. That's comforting, in some way. Like maybe they haven't gone too far from home overall. But some of these people seem to be from very different worlds.]

Yeah. But it looks like there's two Sephiroths?

[He doesn't get that at all.]

We have to make sure we get the right one.

[Rinoa pouts, today he's being stuffy. Go figure.]

I'll talk to Tifa. See what can be done.

[She sighs a little, not surprised they hadn't given enough information when they met with the newcomers.]

Yeah, but I think it's the one who has like six wings.

[She smiles softly.]

We will, don't you worry. This is easier than you're thinking, Squall. It's not as hard as you're making it out to be.

Good.

... Six?! What is it with those guys and wings? Well, nevermind. I don't think he has them all the time, though. The other one seems like he never puts his away.

[So maybe that will help with identification too.

He sighs.]

What's easy about it? We've never had a crisis like this before.

[But at least it's not a crisis where the world's actually ending this time.]

Ah, yeah. He has plenty of wings, you're right.

[She smiled easily.]

Squall, it's not that hard or difficult even though we never had a situation like this before. Hopefully no more people show up. If they do, I think we'll be okay.

They've both got a lot.

[And the one responsible actually has seven rather than six.]

If people do keep showing up, eventually we're gonna run out of rooms.

[And that was something that had to be thought about.]

Hm, I wonder where all those wings come from. I only have two in my Angel possession form.

[She taps her chin in thought. She didn't want more wings, but it seemed strange that they had so many.]

We won't. We'll be perfectly fine, Squall.

You try asking them?

[He really doesn't want Rinoa getting too close to the one who caused all of this, but maybe the other one's okay. Maybe.]

How can you be so sure of that?

[It's only logical that they'll run out of rooms eventually.]

Nope, but maybe I should.

Tifa has plenty of room at the hotel. Even if we run out of room, everything will be fine.

If you do, stick with the one who didn't cause all this trouble.

[Who knows how the other one might react.]

Eventually the hotel will fill up too, if people keep coming.

[Knowing Rinoa, she's going to approach the one who has more wings. She's always rebels.]

Of course, but we'll be okay. Stop worrying so much.

[That's what Squall is afraid of.]

Fine. Whatever. I'll start ... trying to gather the people together to talk to them or something.

You do that, sweetie. ~~I just wish you'd let me in on what you're thinking about doing. Then I could help.~~

[What am I thinking about doing? I don't even know myself yet.]

Be careful if you go talking to those Sephiroths.
