"Even when we were all little, he was always bigger." She considered for a moment, then looked over at Seifer, judging his frame and hummed softly. He seemed bigger too though, maybe hind sight was different, somehow, or maybe Raijin was... "When did you get bigger?" she reached out and prodded him lightly in the arm closest to him with an extended forefinger. In anyone else, it might sound like admiration, Fu seemed nostalgic and a little maudlin over everything changing. She may be the only straight woman in the building who had been six inches from a naked Seifer and hadn't given a damn. "It's bullshit, but that was the terms. The said that I followed you. That Rai followed me." It was true. According to the judge Raijin had a better chance without her, she had a better chance without Seifer. They didn't understand.
They were together now. She wasn't herself without him, without Raijin.
She was still nursing her beer, but then she planned on staying mostly sober, drinking no more than was required to be socially lubricated enough to interact. "I know." She answered softly. "Familiar." She looked around, frowned. "Good memories too. DC forever." A brief shake of her head followed and she sighed. "You have your cadets. Make a difference." She paused again, seemed to consider her words. "Safe." Her gaze lifted to the front of the room, she narrowed her eyes and shook her head. "Orphanage?" but if he tried to recall that family, he wouldn't need her anymore. Would he? "Don't trust." She started to say more, to lay it all out on the table, why she thought he shouldn't trust any of them. Not here, not now. It felt too selfish to do it like that.
