Fai leant forward slightly. Fai had his own things he needed to do soon himself. He was going to be he assumed following orders and doing what he was told, which at this point he had grown rather use to.

"Do you really think the negotiations will actually work?" Because Fai very much doubted it himself.

[whereishe]

"No."

Her voice was soft and while it was depressing it wasn't pessimism speaking but experience. She didn't believe that they could work it out or they would have done so before now.

Before everything was about to end.

"Honestly Fai, it'll probably end in a fight and there is no guarantee I'll make it out alive."

[iscursednomore]

'There is no guarantee I'll make it out alive.'

Those words alone were enough to make him grip his glass slightly. Thankfully however it was not enough to break the thing completely, at least not yet anyway.

"I know, but... at least try and stay alive."

[whereishe]

Yuna looked down at her glass, her heart throbbing as if something was constricting it. He still cared, of course he did but she had always been hesitant about making promises that she couldn't keep.

"I'll try." She whispered softly realizing that this might be the last they see of each other. Before, when she was a summoner, she had tried so hard to keep people at a certain distance; even friends and family. It made her sacrifice easier but now... Fai had found his way past her defenses and into her heart. He made it difficult not to try to keep going.

"You try too... promise." Yuna was whispering now wanting with all her heart to turn and look at him. To be able to fall into his arms and feel the comfort and safety that ly there. To feel his lips press against her own and her heart soar. Except she knew that it was gone... everything they had felt like it belonged in the past.

[iscursednomore]

"I'll try, but no promises." He felt like in these years he had gone back into old habits of not caring if he had to die and he really felt like that.

Fai didn't take long to finish off his drink since he figured he wouldn't be as welcomes here for much longer. He didn't care, but he had gotten what he need to anyway. A nice hard drink to distract him.

Pushing the glass away he stayed in his seat, unsure of if he should say something else or just leave. "Even if your negotiations work...I doubt anyone will truly win."

[whereishe]

Yuna hadn't touched her glass in a while and she suddenly didn't feel up to drinking. Her heart twisted in her chest and she wished that she had more to say to him. A reason to keep him here. If this had to be the end then why can't they just end it together. If only she could turn back time.

"I know."

She closed her eyes and inhaled a shaky breath.

"I guess this is goodbye then."

Yuna didn't want to cry but she felt the tears threaten to spill down her cheeks.

[iscursednomore]

Fai had moved to stand up and take a few steps before turning his head slightly. It was hard to walk away like this, but... he had to. He knew he had to.

But there was one thing he wanted to do before he went and held her lightly from behind.

[whereishe]

Yuna clamped her eyes shut when she heard his chair scrape against the wooden floor. He was leaving, just like that and she'd never see him again. There was a moment of silence before Yuna felt the warmth and strength of Fai's arms wrap around her. She couldn't hold back anymore, tears freely fell from her eyes while her hand lightly rested on his.

She wished he didn't have to go. She wished that there was something that she could say but all she could do was cry feeling his arms for one last time.

As fleeting as the moment was, she'd always remember it. It was a feeling she never once forgot. No matter the space between then her heart wouldn't let her forget. When you truly love someone you can't forget them and Yuna has lost many people that she's loved.

[iscursednomore]

Fai could feel the tears drop onto his arms and he was sure that it was his fault for making her cry. maybe he should have left it. But he just couldn't. It would possibly be the last time after all.

Keeping silent and keeping a straight face he slowly removed his arms from around her, turning his back on her before slowly making his way out. He could feel his heart break a bit, but deep down he knew what he was doing and why. He just wished they hadn't ended up like this.
