From:

planetdialup

Yes, we do.

When I was a child, there was a war of one...power against another. A country named Wutai.

Wutai no longer exists as it was.

From:

knowmyplace

Oh? What happened?

From:

planetdialup

Shinra sent out their strongest and crushed them like another would fruit.

I don't really remember all the details. But...Wutai was brought in and couldn't do what it did before, especially for gathering energy.

It was a resource grab, after all.

From:

knowmyplace

And which side were you on?

From:

planetdialup

The Shinra side, I guess. I didn't take part or anything- I would be too young.

But I heard it from adults and the news.

From:

knowmyplace

Everyone is on a side. Sometimes they just don't realize it.

What is life like now?

From:

planetdialup

For awhile it was quiet. But things have picked up again, but that's not war.

What was life like before the mutiny?

From:

knowmyplace

Mundane, fortunately. Nothing of note.

[He laughs.]

I'm sorry. I am not the best storyteller.

From:

planetdialup

That's okay. If there's any other details of your home, yourself- I'll be happy to listen.

I'm sure there's more to you then someone caught between two parties.

From:

knowmyplace

Maybe that's what I'm here to learn.

From:

planetdialup

Maybe so.

Or maybe...you'll find out who you want to be?

From:

knowmyplace

A lofty goal, signora. I can only hope that's the case.

From:

planetdialup

Maybe.

But what sort of things do you like Iago? Maybe I can see about getting it as a treat this week.

From:

knowmyplace

Oh! How fortunate for me!

[He laughs.]

I am a man who loves sweets.

From:

planetdialup

What can I say? I like making peoples days a little better!

[She offers a gentle laugh.]

What kind of sweets? Maybe I can make them myself.

From:

knowmyplace

What about something from your world?

From:

planetdialup

Chocolate chip cookies then?

They're pretty good. I can try making them into shapes, if you want.

From:

knowmyplace

Delightful!

I cant wait.

From:

planetdialup

Of course!

Give me a few hours. It'll need time to cool.

From:

knowmyplace

Wonderful. Grazie.

From:

planetdialup

Welcome!

[And a few hours later:]

Cookies are done! Where should I deliver them?

From:

knowmyplace

Oh! How expedient.

I am in the common room at present. Third floor.

From:

planetdialup

On my way! Hope you're comfortable.

Be there shortly!

[And she's off! There's a thermos filled with coffee too with her basket full of cookies.]

Iago, yes?

From:

knowmyplace

Iago is lounging in a chair, an unmarked book in hand. He raises his eyebrows when she approaches and sets it aside with a smile. "I did not expect you this soon," he remarks playfully.

From:

planetdialup

"Ah, well. Ovens are very handy."

She beamed at him, offering him the basket. The cookies were still warm, offering the sweet scent of the freshly baked.

"Plus, I wanted to meet you in person. What can I say? I was excited!"

Her laugh was light and bright, clearly at ease.
