Turquoise orbs looked out the window; seated upon the bench next to it. She watched as the ground below went by quickly; almost making her dizzy, yet it didn't. Sighing faintly under her breath, she moved strands of black and purple highlighted hair away from vision's way. It was boring here. She had been on this train for.. well, she didn't know how long. She lost track of time when she fell asleep from all the boredom it has caused her. It didn't matter, though. She just hugged her knees closer to her chest; and continued to look out the window.
"Next stop : Balamb." Announced the person over the speaker phone.
A sigh of relief was given. That was her stop. Balamb. Probably even more boring than the ride there, she thought.
"Hey, Squall!" Zell called out; as he jogged down the streets of Balamb; to catch up with his friend. The whole gang was out in the town. Off in different parts; and Squall was off in search of Rinoa and Quistis.
Squall remained silent; as he always did. Glancing every now and then to see if Rinoa was in any nearby shops. Zell caught up to him; and walked along side of him. Practicing to throw punches at the air every so often; to show how bored he was. It got annoying towards Squall; and Zell knew that it annoyed him. Maybe then he would talk; with being annoyed and all.
After a while, it did get to Squall; and he sighed under his breath a bit. "Can you stop that?" He 'snapped' at Zell. He was a bit moody today; he wanted to see where Rinoa ran off to. And..then there was that mission at hand, as well. The one to let more people become SeeDs. No one knew what the mission was about; only the Headmaster. And even he wouldn't tell anyone.
Zell looked over at Squall; stopping with the punching and such. "Why are you so unhappy all of a sudden?" He asked, raising an eyebrow a bit. Hands were placed within the pockets of his baggy shorts. If he kept them there; maybe he could fight the urge to punch things for no reason.
"..." Squall went back to being.. Squall. No reply given towards Zell; and the gaze continued to move around; in search of Rinoa.
Zell sighed. He expected nothing else from his friend.
"We have reached Balamb." The guy on the speaker then stated. The train had come to a slow stop; and the girl moved. Crossing the narrow and not-so-wide hall into her room. She grabbed her already packed black and purple duffle bag; and placing the main strap on her shoulder.
She made her way out of her room; and down the hall way. To where the other passangers were getting off; she followed. Exiting the train and all; she looked around the train station of Balamb. It looked boring. And full of old people and little kids. This wasn't what she wanted from the town that had to be station next to her next possible Garden.
Stepping off towards the steps that led into the more 'main' area of the town; she looked around again. Honestly, she didn't know where to go. Never being here and all; it caused a great feeling of being lost. She just started off in any direction; and walked down the street.
Taking note that she was getting odd glances from people; she looked down at her clothes; wondering if they were messed up or something. She was still wearing that dark purple tank top; with black tight shorts. And then a thin strapped, lavender 'duster' over it. As well as those lavender; fish net material-things that went on her forearm; and then there was a little slit for her thumb. It wasn't really her normal clothing; or even her clothes of choice. It was just rather comfortable; for the ride here and everything.
Passing by a window to a shop; she decided to look in, and try to see her reflection. To see if her hair was still decent looking; it could be a mess..from the laying down on the train and all. She was rather concerned as to what people saw her as. She had to always look good; otherwise it just wasn't right. Took notice that her hair was fine looking. She just moved some strands away from her eyes again. And started up on the walking again.
Turning a round corner; she found herself at..what seemed to be docks. Gaze went to the sky; and she saw that the sky was clear; and the sun's rays were down on the waters surface. The water..seemed to look like it had glitter in it. What with the sparkling and all. Moving closer to the edge of the docks; she let her bag drop to the ground. Just staring off at the ocean, it being something that she used to do all the time.
Squall was getting impatient; and Zell was getting even more bored than he started off with. They continued to wander around; until Squall decided to check around the hotel again. He heard Zell sigh and follow behind him; as he walked with that fast pace towards the hotel. They were suppose to get going. Irvine and Selphie were waiting at the town's exit for them; so they could start with the walk home and everything.
"Zell, check the hotel again." He ordered; just as they reached the hotel. Squall could've added in that he was going to search the docks; but decided not to. Mostly because..he didn't want to.
"Yeah, yeah.." Zell quietly stated; nodding a bit as he walked to the door of the hotel. He opened the wooden door and stepped in. Sighing, again. This was so boring..
Squall continued down the path; and towards the docks he went. Glances taken around the area; until he spotted something. He sighed. And stopped at the 'entrance' of the docks. He finally found her. He wanted to shout out ``Rinoa, where were you!?`` and such; but he wouldn't. He wouldn't tell her that he was worried about her, either. Still kept most of his feelings to himself. Rinoa looked a bit odd, though. The color of her 'duster' being a bit off; but it was probably the sun messing around with him again. "We have to get going!" He shouted out; unusual maybe, but nothing else came to mind.
