Freedom
"Do you ever wonder what it would be like to be a bird?"
Celes cocked her head curiously at the statement.
"No, do you?"
"They're so free. I'd imagine you would wonder what they'd be like."
"Why would you imagine that?"
"A woman who looks as lonely as you do all the time must wonder how liberating it is to be as free as a bird."
She flinched and drew back. It stung her: More than she realized it would. He took no notice and carried on.
"We could go somewhere far away, you know. Somewhere you could be free as a bird."
"Oh?"
He step towards her slowly, purposefully. She didn't withdraw. He leaned closer to her ear and whispered all too temptingly.
"Just say the word, and I'll take you wherever you wish to go. Just say the word, and you'll be free from all of this. The Empire, the Returners; you'll be free as a bird."
She didn't realize she had leaned closer with every word he spoke. She turned her head to reply in kind, not having to think twice.
"Yes."
His reply was not in words, but in the churning of an engine, and the ascent of an airship.

A/N: I don't know what this even is: I just want to get back into writing, and decided to…write. Didn't turn out the way I had planned, but once I started writing it just sort of flowed out onto the page haha. Basically what this will be if I continue it is some uncannon explorations into character relationships, pairings etc. I'm going to try and keep the characters as in character as possible (though that may not always be the case), but the uncannon-ness will lie in the situations they are placed in. But once again idk if I will continue this! I'll stop rambling now, though. I hope you all enjoyed and please review! If only for the fact that FF6 stories need more love on here
