Tenth Rose: This has got to stop [Private Written]

Private to the Spades:

Is everyone in one piece? What's going on?

Private to Selphie:

Where are you? I don't know what exactly happened, but I'm at Isla Empieza.

[The next part is written in after a moment's pause.]

Are you alright?

You could come for a little while... Just to visit me??

[Really, he's tempted to do just that because she means a lot to him, but what would he do for the rest of the time?]

[Be cooped up on the ship docked at an island he really doesn't like being on.]

[So there is a while where he doesn't reply, because he's at a crossroads.]

*Selphie watches her journal, waiting for his reply. When it still doesn't come, she gets a little concerned*

Maybe even just long enough for a kiss...??

I wish that the nav at Isla Empieza worked both ways.

How close are you to here?

We're about... a week close. Yup. A week. That's not really close, is it?

*Okay, written is good, because then Aya can't hear how upset she is*

Not really, no.

[He would go just to see her, but...the whole being stuck on that island part for however long...]

What do you think I should do? [He's really at a loss at the moment.]

I think you should do what you want to do. Do whatever makes you happiest.

*Though after she wrote that last sentence, she kind of wished she hadn't*

I can't really be all that happy without you so far, though.

[He isn't really aware of how...sappy he sounds.]

*That does make her feel a little bit better, and somewhat more hopeful*

So why not come visit just for a day, or even just a few hours, then you can go wherever you like and we'll meet up again once we leave?

How do you expect me to leave after a day? I don't know how to navigate a ship, and I don't know of any other crews.

Okay. Fine. Don't come.

*The words this time are rather hastily written*

[He's going to be paying for this later, he just knows it.]

If I don't come, will you at least let me write to you?

Yes.

*For a moment, that's all she writes, trying to keep together how she feels about all of this, which isn't good*

This is different for you... I went a whole month without you when you disappeared. Then you disappeared again. I've been here missing you while you've just been at home not even knowing that I exist.

*It looks like she's starting to write something else, but her pen just makes a mark and she doesn't continue to write anything else yet*

Do you really think I haven't missed you, as well?

[Is that what she thinks? That she didn't mean anything to him while he had been gone?]

It's disorienting being sent back. Coming from a battle to getting back into one, then being taken away. But during all of that, I thought of you, even if you can take care of yourself.

Already I don't like you being far away. How am I supposed to hug you for saying things like that when you're so far away?

:(

*This time, she draws a bigger sad face than usual, then goes back to underline it*

I'll make it up to you. [Somehow. He's not sure.]

Okay.

*But then she decides that that isn't enough, so adds:*

How?

If I told you how, then it wouldn't be a surprise.

[He needs time to think, anyway.]

This needs to be a real good surprise.

Seriously.

*He better start thinking hard, then*
