You know how sometimes people say, the only way to keep something is to throw it away? Or some of those old wise sayings that always seem to escape our very understanding? I had thought, these sayings made entirely no sense whatsoever. It's not because of us not understanding it but them having to say something for the sake of it.
It always seems that advice about love or life always comes from people who have neither.
Quistis noticed the sudden silience in the room. She cleared her throat and continued to brief Squall about the situation. "This island is located east of the Esthar continent. Approximately 200 or so miles out. The reason that no one has been able to locate this island is that it was never worthwhile to locate. After some research, Esthar did chart the island but mainly left it alone, never stepped foot on it."
Squall snapped out of his trance and fired off a question, "Why did it become interesting now?"
"We don't know. Thats why we want to send a team and investigate the area." Zell said, almost sounding as if he wanted to add, "Duh, what else?"
"Yes, a team. Who do you think should go, Squall?" Quistis asked.
"I'll go with Zell." Squall said, indefinately.
"Protocol states that there must be at least three members." Zell said, or stated.
"You pick someone. I'll go and pack what we'll need." and with that, Squall left. But as an afterthought he added, "Quistis, you're in charge of the Garden."
Squall left for the hallway and walked. It was almost unnatural, the way he walked. Like he was bothered by something. Bothered by someone. However, this was all because of a trained eye saw these signs. No one else knew. Only Quistis. And she wanted to find out.
"Squall...wait up." she called after him. The only hint that Squall had heard Quistis was that he walked a bit slower. "What's wrong, Squall?"
"Does there have to be something wrong?"
"I see it in your eyes, Squall. I see it in the way you walk. I see it."
"I have to go pack." Squall walked faster.
"Squall, maybe I should go with you and Zell. We'll solve this problem on the ride there."
"No, Quistis, you have to stay here."
"Why?"
"Because I trust you." and with that, Squall dissappeared leaving a very confused Quistis.
