Just a silly little oneshot/drabble thing… Because my brain exploded.
"He get's it from you."
Reno fought the urge to leap to his feet and start demanding answers. He had woken slowly, with no idea where he was, or who was with him. Save that the voices speaking were a man and a woman. It had been the woman who had spoken this time, and had it not come from directly beside him he would have thought the person was talking about something else.
There was a soft laugh. "From me? The hair is all yours my love." The man said, his voice further away.
"Of all of them, I think this one is definitely the most like you."
"You've been comparing them?" the mans voice was closer now, and Reno had to fight with himself not to open his eyes.
"We have been presented with a rare opportunity. How could I do anything else?"
"I do find it interesting that so many have retained the Espers peculiar colouring. I have seen no others that are not ours with such vibrant air." The man took position behind the woman, and Reno struggled to make sense of what they were saying.
"You always did like the unusual." The woman said, and Reno could hear the smile in her voice.
The man laughed again. "Why is he more like me then? For I am sure there is likely far more of you in him than me. There always is."
"You refuse to see yourself in any of them." The woman said, and Reno slitted his eyes just a tad, but could only catch a glimpse of green, blue and gold, he couldn't afford to risk giving himself away until he knew for certain what these people intended to do with him.
"So tell me, my love, tell me." The man demanded playfully.
"His smile."
"His smile?" the man echoed Reno's thoughts.
"His laugh, and the way he speaks."
The man laughed again. "I was hoping it would be more like my excellent inventing, or my dashing good looks, or my charm with women."
The woman laughed then. "Well, we were told there were two in this time… perhaps that Cid Highwind? He seems a likely candidate."
"Too much like Setzer I think… His line seem to be the one's who take to the sky if you'll recall." The man said, which confused Reno even further. Cid Highwind? What did the chain smoking pilot have to do with anything? And who was Setzer, it was a very unfamiliar name.
"That one with the robot cat then…" the woman suggested. "He's the first in a long time to show any inkling of your genius."
"Shall we check on him? If it's not I say we adopt him."
The woman laughed merrily. "Somehow I doubt they would allow two, millennia year old, ghosts to adopt someone."
"It can't hurt to try." The man said.
Reno's eyes shot open, hoping to take the people by surprise, but he blinked and frowned when he found himself alone, in his own bed. He had been so sure that he had been somewhere else… He scowled. He really had to lay off the tequila. It always gave him weird dreams.
Dammit, now I've gone and done it… I now have another drabble idea… Don't ask where this came from, because I honestly do not know! I just struck me as odd that Terra in ffvi had green hair (I ignore the fact that they gave her blonde hair in the CGI videos), and Reno had such vibrant red hair… They are the only one's I've really noticed that have this similarity, so I had to write about it.
