In person: Rinoa/Squall
[Rinoa passed by a few of the students on her way to the office, and she had that perfect amount of warmth and reassurance they needed to worry less. Everything was going to be fine, she told them, they'd figure it out. She and Squall made a good team that way, with her providing the emotional support, and she was growing more comfortable with her role at the Garden every day. For awhile there she felt out of place, like she was too much of an outsider, but it was getting easier.
Only when she got into the elevator did she let her smile slip and a little worry show. She had no idea where they were, and there were these magical journals. Rinoa wanted nothing to do with magic ever again. She was in her usual halter dress, and she let herself be anxious and afraid for the seconds it took to get to the third floor, and then she let it go. Squall needed her. She brushed her hair back when she walked into the office, that same smile on her lips.] What part of your nervous breakdown are you on?
