[ What had meant to be a voice message to the other has turned into an image one instead as a curious little cat with a red scarf around their neck has knocked the Warrior's amulet out of his hand just as he had been meaning to reach out to Squall. So, instead, Squall gets an image of a surprised looking Warrior picking the amulet up off the wooden floor with a meowing cat held against his chest. ]

You need to be careful. These are important...

.....

[ Squall snorts loudly at the sight he just saw. Yep... that's just like WoL and his little kitten companions. ]

Yeah, they are pretty important.

[ Hearing the other man's voice, the Warrior catches sight of Squall and offers a gentle bow of his head while still holding the curious kitten against his chest; they may look familiar to Squall as they're the one Squall healed up when the Warrior brought them to him. ]

I did not mean to start this message that way. I suppose someone is simply eager to see you.

He looks a little familiar... is that?

[ Nodding, the Warrior allows the scarfed kitten to sniff at the amulet... which will give Squall a nice view of a kitty's wet nose up in his face. ]

Yes, I believe they knew I would be speaking to you and decided to say hello.

Hey there lil guy... You're looking better than ever.

[ Squall couldn't help but laugh softly, a gentle smile on his lips for now. ]

[ With a soft cry from the kitten as if to say hello, the Warrior then adjusts a few things and sets the scarfed kitten down on the bed, the Warrior sitting there beside them and watching as they gently begin to make little biscuits on a spot with loud purrs before he looks back to the amulet; he just wants to be sure the kitten is ok. ]

There was something that I wished to ask you.

Mmm? Sure ask away.

[ How does he phrase this... ]

What do you do after you have kissed someone?

[ The blunt way, it seems. ]

[ Squall gives him a raised eyebrow. ]

What... do you mean after?

[ Blinking,the Warrior tries to phrase this again. ]

What is... the protocol for after?

[ Well... ]

I don't... really think there's a protocol for afterwards. You kiss more if you want... or you just hang out. As long as it's something that feels nice.

[ pause. ]

Did you finally kiss Firion?

[ The Warrior looks rather thoughtful at that before the question is asked and he nods then. ]

Yes. A few times.

How did it feel?

[ It's his own little subtle teasing way to get back at Warrior. ]

[ Reaching out to stroke a few fingers along the kitten's back, the Warrior tilts his head as he considers that. ]

There was... gold falling from the sky. It felt like snow but it was much warmer.

I think that means you must have enjoyed it... that's good.

[ The Warrior seems to pause then, as if considering something again before he looks to Squall. ]

But... it means something, does it not?

Well... has the golden sparkles happened any other time.... or just when you kissed him?

[ Here he blinks once before a memory comes to him so easily within this world. ]

Yes. He carved a word on the inside of my shield in case I forget anything while I am here. So that I may remember. That is... that was the first time they happened.

When he did that... do you remember the feeling you felt? Did your heart quicken? Did you feel warm inside?

I felt... [ He pauses, allowing himself to recall the moment as best he can. ] ...happy. Yes, I felt happy.

Then I think that means you must have enjoyed the kiss...And if it's happened a few times he must have too.

[ There's a pause that comes from the Warrior, as if he's uncertain whether or not to mention something. However, this is Squall and the lack of fireworks and sparkles happening because of such a thing is appreciated. ]

I feel that he is still... uncertain. That he feels my feeling something is a mistake towards him.

Should I punch some sense into him?

[ it was... mostly out of jest, but there was still a little bit of seriousness to his words. ]

[ Serious or not, the Warrior glances to Squall briefly before he shakes his head and looks down to his lap. ]

No. [ A pause, he glances to the small kitten crawling up on his lap then, seeking attention. ] This world is difficult to understand for me still. To feel these things... I have never felt them before and I suppose I worry that I am not doing something right.

But I suppose I also worry that I am seeking something that is not meant for me. Because that is not what I was assigned to do.
