Black Researcher Let's get this over with so that I can get back to work. "Nah....Don't worry about it Ebony. I don't you to get involved in this any more than you have. I'd rather you go back to Cocoon and be safe there rather than stay here and get killed by my hands...."Ebony sighed. He was really going to make this difficult wasn't he? Didn't he understand that she was already involved in the situation. She had basically just saved him from being killed by a whole bunch of PSICOM, and she hadn't him yet. Plus, there was still PSICOM back in Cocoon that hated her, and then there was the matter of her escort job, so she was never really safe. "Look Cloud, I understand that you want me to be safe, but that isn't exactly easy for me. I know I disregarded your question earlier about what other jobs I had, and well, now might be as good a time as any."Ebony smirked, and closed her eyes. She seriously wondered if he would get a shock out of this. Probably not, though. "I'm an Escort Guardian for royal families, so I'm pretty much targeted almost all the time. In fact, just a while ago, I had to help Josh beat off some guy named Geoff. I did get shot, but I can assure you, he won't be coming back anytime soon, after what I did to him."Ebony remembered that day vividly. She had basically froze Geoff's arm and part of his chest, sending pain throughout his body thanks to the Black Arts. He had begged her for mercy, though Josh had asked her to stop. "I know I'm now involved with the whole l'Cie thing, but I'm not afraid of you, or the PSICOM that will be coming after you a lot. No, I don't have a phone, but anytime you need me, just call." |

Black Researcher Let's get this over with so that I can get back to work. "You like so many, have said some thing like that to me. My life is not what others think. But they still stand beside me. Even when I tell them not to. What ever happens to me....I don't care. I just want everyone safe when the time comes...."He wanted everyone safe. Most people on Cocoon would find that hypocrytical since he was a l'Cie, but Ebony wasn't part of those people. She understood that Cloud only wanted what was best for the people he cared for, and hoped they would be safe even when they might be targeted because of what he was. It was the same for Ebony and all the other orphans. "...I know exactly how you feel..."She dared not go into specifics on how she felt. "That must have been tough for you...."Tough? Against Geoff? Well, to her it was more like a cake-walk since the guys weakness was magic...but he had made her go unconscious, and both her and Josh were injured. She unconsciously reached for her hip, where she had been shot. "In a sense, it was and it wasn't. But, looking back on that day now, I find it to actually be one of the happiest of my life."She was reffering to after the battle, when Josh had healed her and taken her back to the inn. Heh...those three words... |

Black Researcher Let's get this over with so that I can get back to work. "I know how you feel with that. When...I asked Tifa to marry me, that was mine.....But now....How do you keep going on Ebony? How do you breathe again? When you know what you will do to the one you love....? I can't let that happen."The smirk left Ebony's lips as she sat there, silent, thinking. How did she keep on going? Simple, killing herself was retreating. Quitting. Her hard work would have been all for nothing. And Ebony didn't quit, not even when everything seems lost...But, she only knew half of Cloud's story. He was a l'Cie...and he had a Focus that was still a mystery to her. But, with the way he was talking, it probably wasn't a good one. ...The ones she loved...Josh...and the other orphans that had seen as both a big sister and a motherly figure that kept them safe. If anything had happened to any of them, she would most likely find the culprit and tear them apart, maybe even disintegrate them. "...The reason as to why I don't give up is easy. Giving up is quitting, and I don't quit. As for the loved ones...I'm not so sure...I would never do anything to hurt any of people I love...Why do ask? Does it have something to do with you being a l'Cie?" |

Black Researcher Let's get this over with so that I can get back to work. "Yes it does....I'm not going to let her die. Not because of me. There has to be a way to stop all of this...I promised her I'd never hurt her....And yet with this damned focus....I will have no choice...."So it did have something to do with his Focus...Well, that complicated things even further. Not completing the given "task" would transform Cloud into a C'ieth, and completing it...well, Ebony didn't even know what it was. But, with the way he was talking, it sounded like it was very happy one. Or easy for that matter. "Ah, so it does have to deal with your Focus...I won't pry, though."If Cloud, had wanted to tell her what it was, he probabaly would have told her already, but he hadn't, which showed he obviously didn't like it. But, that was probabaly customary with l'Cie's. |
