a soft sigh lifted off their muzzle, a small smile curving their maw. "you are a bloody fool, you know that?" they hummed, bumping their snout against her shoulder. they gave an uncertain look in sephiroth's direction, some sort of lingering phantom pain there. a memory or something else? they let their gaze fall away, ears switching back before looking up at usagi with a slight smile, devoid of deep emotion but brimming with enough pain to last eternities.

"let's get you to the oasis for some training, young lady. ah. I'll be okay. I have to be, right?" they expected no response, simply slipping out of their den. sighing, they closed their eyes, clutching at those slight fractured memories, foremost the memory of sephiroth appearing before them like some astral guiding being. they remembered the way that their joy was quickly degraded into pain and fear, terrified of the one that they had once wanted to see more than anything in the world. they supposed that this, trip to the oasis, would open opportunity to discuss "gossip" things that they really needed someone to confide in.
