A familiar, if not quite right sight awaited Rufus as he walked around town. The bell jingled from inside an armor shop as a door opened and a blonde teen walked out.
"Thanks a lot! I'll be by later to pick it up!" The teen was wearing the pants of a SOLDIER uniform clothes but the leather jacket he was wearing to keep out the cold hid the telltale turtleneck. It also failed to completely hide the belly that the blonde had developed thanks to his adventures as Santa Cloud.
And then of course there was the telltale sword slung over his back. The one he inherited.
He stopped short as he saw Rufus, memories filtering through his mind and trying to shuffle into his place. The few memories he had left of his future self put a name and emotions to the face even as the details had begun to slip away. Even so, the young trooper still recognized the company President's son.
"R-Rufus..." He managed to stop himself from saluting but he still stiffened up.
