born from sleep

[In the Land of Departure room, a Ven is curled up on one of the white seats in the training grounds, fast asleep. This wouldn't be such an uncommon sight if it weren't for the fact that well.

He's in his thirties.

Waking him up would be a good idea though, given several Floods have just appeared and circled around him.]

[She'll meet him halfway, rolling her eyes.]

I'm fine. I don't have to in bed all day.

[stillderpy.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but walking around like this at night is not fine! It's not fine at all! Come on, you gotta go back to where its safer.

[Fuss fuss fuss, she should be used to him by now.]

[stillsmelly.livejournal.com]

Oh, and napping in the middle of a dangerous area is better?

[She gives him a look, taking his hand and pulling him away with her, Bright Crest still summoned in the other.]

[stillderpy.livejournal.com]

I was just resting my eyes.

[Even at nearing forty, he can still pout. He's doing it right now. Put that away, he's the one doing the protecting 8|]

[stillsmelly.livejournal.com]

[Pshh, please. She can take care of herself by now.]

And I'm just walking around.

[stillderpy.livejournal.com]

[YES, BUT NOT WITHIN THESE NINE MONTHS. IT'S NOT HEALTHY /what]

Walking around in these parts means danger, remember? It's not like--

[He stops abruptly, glancing around once he senses there's not much Darkness anymore.]

[stillsmelly.livejournal.com]

[SOME PEOPLE WORK FULL TIME RIGHT UP UNTIL THE DAY THEY GIVE BIRTH, SHE'LL BE FINE. She nods when he stops.]

I noticed it too.

[Turns and looks around.]

It's brighter. Do you think--

[stillderpy.livejournal.com]

[WORK FOR THOSE PEOPLE =/= TRAINING WITH KEYBLADES he's just worried )8]

Maybe. Let's go make sure.

[stillsmelly.livejournal.com]

[HEY IT CAN BE STRESSFUL AND HARD WORK. She's fiiiiiiiiine.]

Right.

[stillderpy.livejournal.com]

[He leads the way, wrapping an arm around her shoulders and looking around.]

[stillsmelly.livejournal.com]

[She wraps her free arm around his arms, the other hand still clutching her keyblade.]

[stillderpy.livejournal.com]

Hey, come on, get rid of that. I can protect you myself.

[stillsmelly.livejournal.com]

[She gives him a look, then just dismisses it.]

We've been over this a million times. I can take care of myself you know.

[stillderpy.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but I still like playing as your Knight in Shining Armor sometimes.

[:D Nope, cheesiness is something he will never outgrow.]

[stillsmelly.livejournal.com]

[She laughs a little and rests her head against him.]

I know you do.

[stillderpy.livejournal.com]

I miss the days I can play the hero.

[Kisses her forehead. Aha, their old corridor. They should get a room near to it.]

[stillsmelly.livejournal.com]

Well maybe I'll just have to be in over my head sometime, then.

[They should!]

[orchidenchanted.livejournal.com]

Uhm.

[Says the girl staring at you with a confused look. Well you did say they were in their old corridor.]

[stillderpy.livejournal.com]

...

[... well then. There's a soft smile on his face as he drops the arm around his wife, but to hold her hand instead.

Smiles down at Namine.]

Hey, Namine.

[orchidenchanted.livejournal.com]

[She's a little speechless, considering she never thought that would happen... so Namine just turns and calls into the room for the other one--]

Ven... can you come out here?

[deleo-amicus.livejournal.com]

What--

[What what-- Steps out--

._.

Yeah, he's just staring too, Dean in his arms because he was playing with him.]

[stillderpy.livejournal.com]

OKay, I definitely don't remember meeting our older selves in the past. Did something happen to our memory, or is this one of those paradoxical things?

[Scratches his head.]

[orchidenchanted.livejournal.com]

[She steps over and stays close to him, staring too.]

Are you really from the... future?

[stillderpy.livejournal.com]

Last time I checked, uh, yeah.

[Gives Dean some head pats while Ven just stares ._.]

[orchidenchanted.livejournal.com]

But...

[How can she put this...]

The real future? With Liana and Austin and everyone else?
