[Okay, that is a valid concern. It's also telling that even long after Leon left home that it still really bothers Squall.

And just that tiny crack in his voice gets to Auron. But. He knows his son needs reassurance and confidence right now.]

Are you kidding me? You don't have enough belts to be Leon. Plus, I know how much he loves you as you. Not because you look like someone else, but because of you. He will not forget you.

[innermonologues]

But if he forgets about me... it'll be just like when I first got here... and he called me Leon for months. If he forgets about everything...

[ Squall frowns even more. The image of Squall leaves, because he was starting to get emotional and he didn't want Auron to see that. He was still there, but it was just his voice again. ]

[nofarplaneyet]

[Yeah, this is hitting Squall right in the gut. They're also a lot alike, not wanting to share when they really lose it.]

Squall. He will remember you.

[innermonologues]

I really hope so... I don't know what I'll do if he doesn't.

[nofarplaneyet]

We'll be here for him when he gets back. Because you know him. As soon as he gets back, he'll feel personally responsible and guilty for leaving.

[innermonologues]

Yeah... you're right about that. I know he'll feel guilty... and he'll probably try apologizing to me too.

[nofarplaneyet]

So when he comes back, I know you'll want to spend a lot of time with him. So that's fine.

You don't have to work on my inn project at all. Be with Sora. He'll need you at his side.

[innermonologues]

Are... you sure, Auron? I know you're going to need help with this project...

[nofarplaneyet]

I do, but I know you'll want to be around Sora when he gets back. You can come and help out once you stop being attached at the hip to him.

[innermonologues]

[ Normally a comment like that would make him flustered, but he just softens instead. ]

Yeah sure... okay.
