Ah it's fine... it's a couple days old...

You poor thing, is this from that fight? Still, come inside, we'll put something on it to let the swelling go down even more. I have some creams that will help with the bruising.

[He doesn't get to argue as she takes him inside and straight towards the kitchen.]

[ He doesn't want to tell her it's because Ventus wasn't too pleased with him. He frowns softly and just lets her drag him along to the kitchen. ]

It's not as bad as it looks.

Then it's probably much worse than you're actually letting on, you have a bad habit of saying things aren't as bad as they are. [~~Pot, this is the kettle.~~

She gave him a gentle push towards a stool and went to the ice box, pulling out a giant steak wrapped up in some paper, handing it to him to put on his eye, before opening up a cabinet and pulling out a box of medicines and ointments.]

Here, this is Bernard's snack, he won't mind you using it for your eye.

[ He frowns thoughtfully and gently moves to place it over his eye as he watches her move around. ]

Ah... thank you, SNow...

[She begins to mix the herbs and creams, stirring it, and then coming over to Squall.]

Here, lift the meat, this will be a bit cold. It's mostly made with flowers, have you heard of arnica. You might know it as wolf's bane.

Now don't move. [She offered gently as she began to lightly rub it into the bruising.]

How did this happen?

[ He flinches a little, only because he wasn't used to Snow actually touching him this intimately. Still, he doesn't put up a fuss and lets her do as she wants to with his face. ]

I... that's kind of why I came here. I wanted to ask you something.

You know you can ask me anything, Squall. Though whether you listen to my answer depends on your mood.

[ Yeah... he definitely deserved that. His head tilts downward as he looks at his lap. ]

What sort of sweets would you make someone you want to apologize to...?

[She gently held his chin, finishing with the cream.]

Well, I would make the sweet that they like most, even if it's not a sweet at all. Like I wouldn't make you a sweet so much as a meat pie.

Why do you need to apologize?

I said... and did some things this past month... that I'm not proud of. I hurt a lot of people close to me...

Then we'll just have to figure out their favorites one by one and make them.

I kind... of want it to be a surprise though. And I don't really know any other way to ask their favorites.

Well, maybe I know them already? Who are you apologizing to?

[ he lets out a soft sigh and shifts in his seat as he holds out his hands. One by one counting them on his fingers. ]

Cloche, Machina, Auron, Jecht, Ignis, Noctis, Demyx, Ventus, Xion, Chloe, Jill, Sheena, and... Sora.

[ The kitchen starts to get a cold chill. ]

Oh dear... Squall sweetie... [She wrapped her arms around him, pulling him into a hug.]

What am I going to do with you?

[ He flinches again, but he doesn't pull away. He just sits there with his hands in his lap with a frown on his face. ]

The fog that was in town... it really had a negative affect on me. But it's no excuse. What I said and did... it's inexcusable.

[She gently tilts his chin up.]

Is it? So not under the effects, would you say or do those things now?

[She presses her forehead to his.]

Let me ask you a different question. If Sora was overtaken by darkness or this island and you let him hurt you, would you blame him?

[ With their faces so close, squall darts his eyes to the side, looking a little more embarrassed. ]

He already did once and I told him I wasn't mad at him about it... I was mad at myself that I wasn't able to stop him... but that's different. He didn't say anything, he was just... acting on instincts. I actively said... terrible things to them... to Sora especially...

I'm not saying you shouldn't apologize, but I am saying you shouldn't blame yourself. If you meant any of those things you wouldn't be trying to apologize for it, now would you. People don't apologize for things that they mean.

Are you going to forgive yourself, I wonder?

I'll be more willing to try when i make up with everyone...

[ His eyes slowly move to look at Snow white once more. ]

You're avoiding it but I'll let it go because of your eye. Don't think I won't come back to that subject, though, Squall.

But, alright, to start, Chloe's favorite is blackberry pie, Sora's is strawberry shortcake, Jill likes a blueberry tart, Demyx likes strawberry pies. Mnn, perhaps you should write this down, or I should what with your eye.

Sorry... I wasn't trying to avoid anything... What did you want me to answer...?

[ He gently pulls away from her for a moment to pull a small little note book out of his pocket and starts jotting down the information. ]

[She gently shook her head.]

As I said, I'll let it go for now. Ventus likes anything with chocolate, but if you want to stick to fruit, he also likes strawberries, Sheena likes anything with pineapple, Noctis likes butter cookies, Machina doesn't like sweets, he likes my shepherd's pie.

I'm afraid I don't have any idea what Cloche, Auron, Jecht, Ignis, or Xion would like. But I hope this helps, at least?

[ He continues jotting down the information she was giving him, at least out of those she knew the answer to. ]

It does a lot... thank you Snow.
