He leans in and kisses Rinoa and spends the rest assured of the evening dancing and celebrating with his friends. Squall goes to bed late that night recovering from the party, only wishing Rinoa was with him Leonhart dreamt of both his lover and defeated adversary. Both were vary confusing and unpredictable while extremely powerful he couldn't help but compare the two. There where significant differences Ultimecia lacked the discipline that was drilled into the former through the past months just as Rinoa lacked the brutality owned by the latter while yes they may be similar Squall thought as he woke there reasons for fighting were extremely different.
He dressed in his usual black leather with a small jacket top and slid his Gunblade into his holster and opened the door and suddenly stops "sir how long have you been there" the short man walked towards the commander "About an hour." "You could have woken me up sir" "No my boy you had an exhausting night and truthfully an exhausting few months you deserved the rest." "So sir what do you need anyway? I'm sure your not down here this early just to congratulate me." "ahh… Yes we need to go over a few things pertaining to gardens future may I come in." "Absolutely sir." 'What could this be.' And they walk in.
"When I made you commander it was since we absolutely needed someone to fill that role that the whole of seed trusted. Now that we are out of the crisis i would like to know if you wish to keep the job , and before you say you are not a good leader you brought down Galbadia Garden, Seifer , Edea my wife, Adel and Ultimecia along with other countless foes." "I'll remain in the position if I can still go on missions but that's not all is it sir." "Yes , you will be allowed and it is not from my understanding you are sorceress Hartilly's Knight." Squall stood to protest but did sat him back down. "No I am not asking that to change if anything she is an ally what I do want to say is if she's interested she can live here as either a seed or civilian and is welcome at any time and also you will be given shared quarters but I leave that for you to decide Squall." "I will explain the situation to her when I see her next Sir" "Alright next is exactly what your job as commander is. Your job is to over see all seed operations and accept what jobs we will take larger jobs will require my approval as well or enough votes of the council when get the positions filled." "What positions sir." "well first and for most we need a new garden master someone who is good with numbers and has patients and is loyal to us but will not change things just to please us do you have anyone in mind." "Xu" "honestly my vote was between her and Quists so no if she accepts we have the three biggest positions filled so for now let's handle other matters." "Agreed sir" "Galbadia has captured Seifer Almasy and left his punishment up to us first I do not see any option other than execution for him even if he was misguided his fate is sealed." "Sir then why tell me at all… you want me to do it don't you." "Yes it was a request from Seifer , General Caraway understood the desire that the only one to kill him should be his rival" "I'll do it but it won't be hanging or Firing squad his death will be caused by lionheart Sir." "Actually he asked if you would use Hyperion for it but also do not expect you to except." "I will so is that all sir?" "Almost I'm sure your wondering why Galbadia is even talking to us they singed a treaty this morning party in thanks and partly in apology we were given then nation of timber as a colony and also they agreed to repair Galbadia and Tribia Gardens then sent them to timber also ethar has agreed to decree all land near the orphnage as seed taritory I say we station Galbadia Garden above that land keep us in Balamb and Tribia shall go in Timber if they wish to take the new names of the land that is up to the other garden headmasters."
"Martine will stay leading Galbadia and Tribia has a much longer time before we need to worry also there will be a Headmaster and Gardenmaster of every garden but only one Commander so you will solve stale mates in the other Gardens." Squall wryly says " I'm beginning to regret accepting this job." "was that a joke?" Cid said in surprise "yes sir" "commander I believe that is all that was necessary to say now I suggest you go and spend some time with your friends Rinoa is in the training center with Quistis and Selphie." "Okay thank you sir" squall stood up and walked over to the training center and saw Xu standing by the exit to the dorms. "Xu as you know the position for garden master is open and Cid and I have decided that you should take the position." "Thank you squall I'll hand in my résumé at 1800 hours and by the way Riona has had a vary good effect on you your much more social" "whatever" "I guess I deserve that commander" squall moved away to avoid the playful fight Xu was trying to ensue it's not that he disliked Xu in fact the opposite is true Squall still wasn't used to talking casually to anyone especial Someone he had thought so serious
Squall continued to the training center and removed his blade from his hosted as he walked in moving through he quickly dispatched of some grats and saw the trio amd moved towards his raven haired counterparS she sent her valkery at a T-rexur who in return ramed at her while Quists and Selphie did nothing Squall bolted to action while screaming "help her" in his anger and worry he didn't notice Quists's Whip wrap around his blade and Selphie charge to stop him "she can handle it herself squall she hasn't even had to resort to her powers and it's already dying" RIona quickly finished off the monster "Oh hi Squall what's up."
