Ezio, Tifa, Aerith & Yuna

[Yuna Braska]

Yuna giggled slightly and ran her hands through her fingers. " Am i not allowed to enjoy it?" Yuna asked smiling sweetly.

((Post ahead girls.))

"Only to a certain extent," Tidus teased.

Yuffie frowned, looking for Kunsel and gesturing him over.
"Well, I suppose... Zack, what's going on?"

Ashlynn hugged in close to her brother, nestling in against Aerith's chest. While Ynyr didn't cry, Ashlynn did, and Aerith could feel tears starting to soak through her dress. She held the children closer, kissing the top of their heads tenderly.
"You know Mummy and Daddy wouldn't leave if they didn't have to?" she said softly, trying to stop her voice from shaking.
"We love you both so much..."

[Tifa Lockhart]

Ynyr nodded in reply to his mother's question, maintaining his brave demeanor very carefully.

"It's... complicated Yuff." Zack replied, his voice sad, "Aerith and I... have to go away for a while... we'd really appreciate it if you'd mind the twins while we're gone."

Kunsel was making a pot of green tea when Yuffie gestured him over. He noticed the concerned expression and frowned, moving over to sit beside her.

[Yuna Braska]

Cloud leaned up against his bike as he waited for Zack to get off the phone. He didn't want to disturb them either when they were saying goodbye. He lifted his Mako blue eyes up to Tifa and gave a small sigh before rolling his shoulder slightly to get his joints moving properly again after the last battle they had encountered.

"Oh..." Yuna moaned at Tidus's response though she still had a slight smile upon her face, her hand twisting the wooden pole slightly as she leaned on the edge with her arms crossed and her chin upon them.

[The Painted Lady]

((Feel free to skip a little with Tidus and Yuna, Yunie))

Yuffie looked to Kunsel with concern as she continued to talk to Zack.
"Ah, sure I guess... At your place or here at Wutai? And can we ask for help from Cloud and Tifa from time to time? I mean, we don't mind minding them, but I'm not sure we're great temporary parent material... This is going to be only a temporary thing, right?"

Aerith was silent as Ashlynn shifted in closer and reached for her brother's hand. She hoped Zack would hurry; she just wanted her little family to be together for as long as possible...

[Tifa Lockhart]

Zack put his head in his hands, realising he'd have to explain properly, or else Yuffie and Kunsel might find themselves saddled with a lot more than they were left expecting.
"Cloud and Tifa... are going too." He replied with a sigh, "Squall showed up here not long ago... with a message from his world. Its more or less been taken. Tifa, Cloud, Aerith and I were all attacked this morning by replicas of ourselves... apparantly that means whatever has destroyed Squall's world will come here next."

On the other end of the phone Kunsel listened on intently, growing graver and graver the more he heard.

"We're leaving Gaia... to find the source and stop it." Zack sighed, his voice strained, "The plan is... that this is temporary Yuffie."

Ynyr reached over to a take a hold of his sister's hand and squeezed it gently, comforting her as best he could.

[Yuna Braska]

They were just about finished the fence and Yuna was getting a little tired being out in the sun for so long but once the fence was up she would not have to worry about anyone getting into trouble. Though perhaps they would have to check on it every now and then until it was gone. "last one" Yuna said rubbing at her sore hands.

[Elario Luminus]

Squall listened to Zack's call to Yuffie, a slowly progressing expression of sadness enveloping him. The Lion sighed and went to go train for a little while, walking back towards where the portal had originally brought him into Cloud's world. On the horizon, Squall could have sworn he saw a few crystalline flashes, but disregarded it as the last rays of sunlight. He went into a practiced training regime, while his Angel watched on, worried for her Knights integrity.

[The Painted Lady]

"Thank God," Tidus groaned.
His arms were growing tired. He had lost his endurance and strength a little since the kids came along.

Yuffie looked to Kunsel again, pausing a moment.
"...We'll be there as soon as possible," she finally said quietly.

[Tifa Lockhart]

"Thankyou Yuffie..." Zack said softly, grateful for her help, "Thankyou so much. See you soon" And with that he hung up and returned to his family.

[Yuna Braska]

"Perhaps we can have a rest back home after. Pick up the kids later" Yuna said taking advantage of Lulu's offer to look after the children. When Tidus finished the last hole she dropped the wood in and filled in the sides with sand.

[Elario Luminus]

((Post ahead; let me know when youse are ready.))

[The Painted Lady]

Ashlynn looked up as Zack returned, big blue eyes glassy with tears.
"Daddy?" she sniffed, reaching for him.

Aerith looked up as the little girl drew her attention to Zack, only a little better at concealing her emotions.
"Are they coming?" she asked quietly.

Tidus stretched his arms with a grin.
"Ah, that sounds good," he said, relaxing his stance again.
"A few minutes without the kids... Just you and me..."

[Tifa Lockhart]

Zack nodded to Aerith in silent affirmation before he gathered up his little girl and held her close.
"Daddy's here ashie." He said softly, rocking her back and forth as he ran a loving hand through her hair.
