More Powerful Than Meteor
By Sinnatious
Vivi didn't know a whole lot about himself, but he did know one incredibly important thing: That he was very, very cute. And that this was more powerful than Meteor.
"I just bought you that nice new staff," Zidane bargained. The thief had all the money, since it became apparent early on that he'd wind up with all the money anyway and they might as well deprive him of his fun by giving it to him first. "And that magic amulet."
A pair of bright eyes stared up at the thief from underneath the wide-brimmed hat.
Zidane's tail swished once in annoyance. "I know it's not much, but I don't think you're understanding how delicate the budget is here!"
The eyes grew slightly larger.
"We're on important business! We don't have cash to spare for that sort of thing. What if we have to bribe our way past some guard, or Steiner breaks his armour again?"
Vivi stared.
Zidane crumpled. "Fine! But you can explain to Dagger why we can't afford that emerald she's been after!"
The bright eyes creased into happy crescents as the thief forked over the money, and handed Vivi a triple-scoop cone of chocolate ice-cream.
"You better just eat it before Quina sees."
