1st sin - [accidental audio]

[There's only silence at first, aside from some very quiet background noise. After a few moments though, a deep voice speaks, sounding more than a little disoriented.]

Lloyd...

[...

No way.]

Kratos?

...

Sheena... hm.

[corrinesbell]

[And here she figured you were just never coming back! ...It really hammers home how long she's been here, though. Again.]

You're...uh, where are you?

[shiningbinds.livejournal.com]

There appears to be a fountain nearby.

It is safe to assume that you know more about this place than I, correct?

[corrinesbell]

[Oh, the plaza. Since she's in the tea shop now that's about...three feet away? Give or take.]

Uh...yeah, I guess it is. [So. He doesn't remember.]

D'you see a two-story building with curtains in the top windows?

[shiningbinds.livejournal.com]

Yes, I do. Is that where I would find you?

[corrinesbell]

Yeah, if you go inside and come upstairs. The bottom floor's the Welcome Center.

[shiningbinds.livejournal.com]

All right... thank you.

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

Nope! You're speakin' to Selphie.

Need a hand at all?

[shiningbinds.livejournal.com]

...I might.

Do you know our location?

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

This place is called Luceti.

[corrinesbell]

[She doesn't tell him the second floor is a tea shop, though. He can find that out for himself.]

[shiningbinds.livejournal.com]

Luceti... hm.

[Voice]

[fortunefail]

[There's no mistaking that voice. Yuan isn't sure how he feels about this turn of events.]

... You're wasting your time. He's not here.

[Voice]

[shiningbinds.livejournal.com]

...Yuan.

What have you done with him?

[shiningbinds.livejournal.com]

[Voice]

[fortunefail]

[Yuan definitely picks up on it, and while any other person might be hurt, he knows damn well that he deserves such mistrust after everything he's done to Kratos over the years. What bugs Yuan more is that this means Kratos doesn't remember the years spent in Luceti before.]

You're awfully quick to jump to conclusions, aren't you? I haven't done anything.

[Voice]

[shiningbinds.livejournal.com]

How can I not, after what just transpired?

[Voice]

[fortunefail]

["What just transpired"... Yuan doesn't like the sound of that.]

Hm. You should know that from the moment you woke up here, the situation got a hell of a lot more complicated. ... Where are you?

[Voice]

[shiningbinds.livejournal.com]

I... relocated to a tea shop, after speaking with Sheena. I assume you know where I speak of?

[Voice]

[fortunefail]

I do. Wait for me there, I shouldn't be long. [Ten, fifteen minutes. Enough for Sheena or someone else to explain the situation to Kratos, anyway.]

[Voice]

[shiningbinds.livejournal.com]

...all right.

[Action]

[fortunefail]

[True to his word, Yuan will enter the tea shop a short while later. Honestly, on the one hand he's glad Kratos returned to Luceti. His companion's one of the few people, if not the only one aside from himself, who can keep Mithos under control. Plus, despite their many conflicts, he still considers Kratos his one true friend- the only one who truly knows what Yuan's been through.

Of course, on the other hand, he knows he's not supposed to be glad. Kratos doesn't belong here and neither does he. No one does. Add the man's current level of distrust towards Yuan and it's just enough to make him a bit reluctant towards this reunion.

None of this will be spoken, or even shown too much on his face. When he enters the shop, he'll meet Kratos' gaze with a determined expression.]

Kratos.

[shiningbinds.livejournal.com]

Yuan.

[Action]

[fortunefail]

[He strides over to Kratos' table, though he doesn't invite himself to sit down just yet.]

... Have you been informed of the situation yet?
