~ "Squall, relax. I was only joking," she quickly said, when she saw that utterly strange look on his face before he walked away. He turned around, his eyes piercing right through her soul and he said, "Never joke about death, Rinoa. ~
J. - Joking
At once, the calm expression that Squall was wearing before disappeared. It was replaced by a deep scowl that made Rinoa's heart tremble with worry... and something else.
"Squall, relax. I was only joking," she quickly said, when she saw that utterly strange look on his face before he walked away.
The brunet teen just chose to ignore her and turned around to leave. However, Rinoa would have none of it. She quickly took a hold of his wrist, so he had to stop and face her again.
He turned around again, much to his own chagrin, with his eyes piercing right through her soul.
It felt as if time stood still at that moment and he said, more solemnly as ever, "Never joke about death, Rinoa."
After that, he walked away, leaving an utterly flabbergasted Rinoa behind. He didn't even give her the chance to apologize or ask any further. The young woman sighed, wearily. How was she supposed to know that he wouldn't find it funny?
Never joke about death, Rinoa...
Was it just her or...? Why did he react in such a negative way? Had something happened in the past?
"Hmm..."
It seemed that he was hiding something from him. What could it possibly be?
Rinoa shook her head at her silly thoughts. She was probably only seeing things. She shouldn't seek something strange behind everything, right?
