Sitting And Thinking

Squall sat on the sandy beach his gunblade lying in the sand next to him the sun reflecting off it. He looked out into the sea with the seagulls flying above

its peaceful

Tifa walked along the beach, her gloves in one hand. She stopped and looked out at the ocean and smiled to herself

Squall heard the footsteps of somebody else on the sand as he turned his head lazily to the woman standing on the beach.

"hello"

she turned her head towards the voice
"hi there,"
she smiles
"i dont think we've met?"

"yeah , i don't think we have , i'm Squall Leonhart and you are ? "

"Tifa Lockhart, pleasure to meet you,"
smiles again and walks over to him

"nice to meet you too"
Squall turned his head back to the see and looked out to it
"its peaceful isn't it ? "

"thats why i come here a lot...its a lot less busy than the cities,"
sits down

"yes it is.... so where is here ? i've never seen this place before ? "

smiles
"this beach is just outside nibelheim, my hometown,"

"ah , i see .... is it a nice place ? "

"yeah, its not too busy and the people are friendly,"
looks out at the ocean

"sounds like a nice place too"
Squall laid down and looked up at the sky watching the clouds pass by

"it is, i think you'd like it,"
smiles and picks up a handful of sand, letting it flow through her fingers

"maybe i'll visit it sometime"

nods
"you'll be very welcome, if you need somewhere to stay, our house has a spare room,"

"thank you , i'll take you up on that offer"

"its no problem, really,"
smiles

"thanks again"
Squall sat up and picked up his gunblade as he used it to push himself up

"again, no problem,"
laughs
"theres 2 kids staying with me, just to let you know,"

"thats okay "
Squall smiled
" i can't wait to go exploring this place , seems like a place that i would like "

"theres a lot of places to hang out: bars, restaraunts, places like that, and its fairly quiet,"
stands up

Squall put the gunblade away in his sheath
"sounds good to me, so which way is it ? "

"its not far, just follow me,"
smiles and starts walking

"okay"
Squall smiled back and followed Tifa
