The Way Back to 429, Post-Vortex

[the_merriest]

Two daughters, very different, both gone. One wee Turk, not hers in any sense, gone as well.

Rikku was walking back to the dorms, very, very slowly. And trying not to sniffle quite so much. And failing.

She reached over, almost instinctively, for Reno's hand.

Another small hand in his.

The one that Reno was most used to finding his fingers curling around.

He gave a little nod, and licked his lips, and looked downward, to where he was making a fist overtop of Rikku's. Possibly, he was never going to let go.

He'd done too damn much letting go, tonight.
