on being newly homeless

[pinnaculum]

You have made the right decision. It is better to focus more on your responsibilities now. It is one less distraction. [It's always better to do the practical thing, right?]

I am not upset. I won't be returning to the lab and the professor. I can go where I wish now. I have worlds to explore. I will learn as much as I can so I can become a great leader.

Will I miss it there...? [He's quiet for a moment, looking as serious as a kid can look, and then, for once, he gives an imprecise answer.]

Maybe. I met many interesting people.

[He doesn't know her. Of course he wouldn't. She'd wanted it that way, hadn't she?]

I'm...Lucrecia Crescent. I was there when you were born.

[pinnaculum]

You were? [This is interesting information. He perks up. He likes science.] Are you a researcher?

[But then he remembers his manners, and he adds, gravely:]

I am pleased to meet you, Ms. Crescent.

[lucrecia]

Doctor Crescent, actually. I am a researcher. I specialized in genetics and cellular biology.

[Awkward. She's met grown Sephiroth, but never little Sephiroth.]

Do you...like your life?

[pinnaculum]

Doctor Crescent. [He corrects himself politely.] Did you know Professor Gast?

I did not like staying in the lab, but here I have been able to travel to other worlds. I like exploring. I can do what I want.
