001 [Action-Garden Entrance]

[nvrstrikestwice.livejournal.com]

[It had been a long year since Lightning had last been here, walking through the turnstiles to get back into Garden. One year of chasing a monster all over the continent without any backup. One more year with only her thoughts as company, and not so much as a clue to get home for it. Just more gil and a teaching job to look forward to come morning.

Nothing had changed, really. Not even the place looked different as Lightning looked up, eyes narrowing in thought. Would she ever find a way back? Hard to say. But she was going to try, and standing around wasn't going to solve anything. So she stepped forward, never turning her head from what was in front of her.

It would honestly be a wonder if she didn't crash into someone or something, at the pace she was following.]

There always is when you're dealing with laws.

[His enthusiasm is pretty near contagious as Lightning lets go all the way, nodding a bit herself. Rock Climbing is probably doing him a lot of good.]

So you've been doing alright, then. That's good to know.

Yup. Well...

[Does he mention- She'll ask anyway.]

Well. I arrived before classes started and I got this really vicious virus. I was in with the doctor for nearly a month and a half.

[Damn right she'd have asked anyway. Doesn't she always these days?]

But it's passed now, right? The doctor wouldn't have let you go otherwise...[At least, she thinks so.]

[He grins.]

I was fine for a week and a half before she finally let me go.

[nvrstrikestwice.livejournal.com]

[Definitely fine, and no need for Light to be worried. So she'll just be smiling a little herself.]

Yeah, she's...stubborn that way. I think she was like that before any of us got here.

[Hope smiles.]

I'm majoring in Battlefield Medicine. So I become an intern for a quarter. But that's after I take Biology and Anatomy.

[Hope gives a nod.]

I'm already taking Biology. Anatomy next quarter. I have it all planned.

[It certainly seems like he's got it all planned, so Lightning nods. Battlefield Medicine is a good area to major in, and it'll come in handy know their luck. That's one thing that she's sure hasn't changed, even here.]

Then it shouldn't take that long for you to finish your major. Not if you stick to that plan of yours.

[Hope nodded.]

This... is so weird. It's... hard to take in that you're here... the real you.

[Hope shuffled a little wondering whether he should wait. I mean... she did need to be prepared.]

We... should go find Serah and Snow.

[Hard to take in that she's here she can get. But..."The real her"? It only brings more questions than answers, and seeing him shuffle about like that is making her just a tiny bit nervous. But, if he's unwilling to talk, she won't press him. She'll just shift her bag on her shoulder so she can move quicker.]

Where do you think they'll be? The dorms?
