A-04 - 18th

Bloom poked her food quietly with a fork, not sure if she wanted to eat it or not. As she paused mid-poke she was unsure of everything right now. Unsure of what will happen if they choose to fight this upcoming calamity, especially after seeing that dream. It looked like it didn't work out for them, so would it really work out for them this time. Plus the fact was she had been here before, all those years ago... It just didn't make sense in her mind. Poking her fork once more into the meat she left it there.

She couldn't eat it right now, she just wanted to get the thoughts out of her mind, the picture of her sister, living here for years, not knowing who she was and living a new life. That had stung a little bit really. It had hurt a lot, but she wasn't going to let it get to her. It just gave her more of a goal, a reason to keep fighting here. With a small smile she went back into the kitchen, thinking that maybe she could let Luffy eat her meal when he got here.

Out and about - 18th - 24th

Each day Bloom came out, each day she would wonder and each day she felt better more and more. She felt like she would at least try and start a friendship at least with her sister here and she seemed to be okay with that. That made her happy more than anything. Every so often she would stop and look around at where she was and when she did, she was thinking over what she wanted to do? Did she want to do something, did she want to go home and speak to her moogle, or would she be okay with just walking around some more.

With all these thoughts in her mind, she was unsure. With a small and a firm nod, she was going to do soemthing, she was going to head to the wharf and check to see if she could afford a boat yet. Now more than ever she wanted to do something now, rather than sit around and wait. Now was the time to explore.

"Pakku...Since your awake..." She spoke up, standing up, first aid kit in hand as she headed to the living room, making her way to where the other sat.

"I think we might not have enough ointment and bandages in the first aid kit, would you be so kind as to go out and fetch some. I'll pay you for your hard work."

She would send her own moogle out, but she knew that maybe this would be the better option for the moment.

Pakku clicks his feet together, raising a stiff arm up to salute the woman before dropping his jaw to respond.

"Yes, M'am! Right away!"

He spins on his pads, turning towards the door and filing out as if marching along with a platoon.

When the door closes, Luffy turns back to look at Bloom, sitting still and remaining quiet while he's inspected and diagnosed. There isn't much for him to say, given that things had some what sorted themselves out for the time being. He hated the idea of having to find others who could take their place, but if it had to be done, it had to be done.

Sitting in silence, the stubborn pirate just numerates over the possibilities of finding substitutes for both Ramza and Yuffie, much to his dismay.

She started to treat the wounds, she was right about needing more, but she thought it might just be enough for now. As she slowly started to cover up what she needed to she spoke up.

"Not going to speak... I guess I can understand. But you'll recover from this." As she bandaged the last part she stepped back, going to the first aid kit to start putting things away.

"But if you need to talk, I'm here." Even though she didn't feel all that great, she thought that maybe helping someone else might help her right now.

He sits atop the stool while his extremities are wrapped around, as if he were going to be mummified and sent into the depths of a Catacomb.

When Bloom finally finishes dressing him, he finally decides to speak.

"There's nothing more to be said. Ashe, Sparks, even Ramza.. It's not worth being angry about any more. I'm just going to do what I can with what I've got, just like I always do. I don't think any of the heroes are brave enough or strong enough to find the Queen, and they aren't gonna' do a damn thing for what they put Yuna, Yuffie, and Rikku through.."

She paused slightly, she was starting to wonder if he was going to rush into something. Sure, she was behind him in that the people who hurt them should be punished and that they should find the Queen and understand why she left in the first place. But there were things that were running through her head as she put the first aid kit away before walking back.

"...So long as you don't rush into a situation filled with anger because of what happened, than I'll be happy to help in anyway I can. But being angry won't help anyone, that much I understand in all my years of my life as a fairy." She gave a small smile before she went to sit down as Ron the cat came out of her room and made his way toward her, rubbing up against her leg as she went over to stroke him.

"So where do you plan on heading off to first to look?"

"Dunno."

He gives himself a once over, hopping off of the stool as he lets the hat drop down to hang off of his neck.

"Figure I'll go to the closest island first, then go along from there. If she's on the move, we'll catch up eventually. If she's staying still some where, even better. First things first. I need to find out what she looks like."

He turns to look at her, now that he's properly bandaged and ready for more.

"Bloom. I'm going to the castle. Cid-guy said I could find pictures of the Queen there. If ya' don't hear back from me in a week, I'm prolly stuck in jail. If so, take some of the money Pakku has and pay my bail before I try to break out, okay?"

"I believe if she doesn't plan on being found, it would seem more likely that she is always on the move. Unless of course she knows of a really good hiding place." Bloom spoke up, arms crossed over her chest for a moment. She just wanted to sigh a little bit. He was already on the move not even stopping to rest for an hour. She understood he probably didn't like to, but even she knew people have limits when injured.

"I'll make sure to keep that in mind, but shouldn't you rest for just an hour before heading off again? That's all I want."

"I don't have that kind of time, Bloom.."

It's obvious that the many days and nights of restlessness and exhaustion are finally starting to bring his engines to a halt. Even now his shoulders begin to give, sag and lower, unlike the usual confident way in which he kept them.

He makes his way to the door, dropping his head with a small bow as his way of saying I'm sorry to the friend who had countless times been so selfless with him.

".. I'll see you later."

She didn't want to see him leave, but at the same time she knew that honestly, she knew she probably couldn't say anything to get him to change his mind. It was something he was going to do and there wasn't much she could do about it.

So all she could do was let him walk off and kept to herself for the time being. Focus on other things instead because right now that was all she could do.
