In person: Rinoa/Squall
[Squall didn't do much of anything without thinking through it twenty times. There was very little that was idle or small about his actions, and even less so about his words.] Thank you. [For handling Rydia, and for coming to give him strength. They reinforced one another in a lot of ways. But the news about the rest of the team made him frown again. More people lost.] We'll know for sure when the upperclassmen report the dorm rosters, but Nida wasn't here, either. [Squall's first hint that something was seriously wrong. The more he thought about it, the more he wanted to hyperventilate again. Instead, his arm wrapped around her waist. He was going for a hug. Was that awkward or needy? He was hoping for not.]
