Rinoa nods so he knows he can sit. She doesn't bat an eye at the gender because it wouldn't occur to her too. She knows from Nida that not everywhere is fully accepting in their world, but it's never occurred to her or been in her personal life. She simply listens to him speak instead. "I agree, I think realizing that I felt like I was nothing without him alarmed me to that way of thinking. It's given me good reasons here to try and make my own life and remind myself who I was without him. My friend Nida reminded me that I did a lot of good things on my own, including fighting for his people to gain independence with a resistance group. That was my cause, not Squall's." It meant everything to her too, she's so glad they found their freedom. That's who she was with and without him.

"Squall would never be unfaithful. Quite the opposite. He was here briefly and he said he was lost in another world without us, and he spent years searching for me. He was faithful all that time." And it was romantic, absolutely, it was beautiful, but also, a little unnerving. Squall's devotion to her now seems so much stronger than hers, and she wonders if she's the faithless one of the two of them. "But he did also make friends and have his own journey during that time, so I should do the same."

Rinoa smiles at him, a real smile, much more like herself. She is usually an optimistic and strong hearted person, and she's been through the ringer lately, but he's reminding her of better things. "You're a very good person, Reeve. I ... honestly don't know many adults who have that kind of faith and optimism." They were usually hardened and focused on their own motivations. "I hate saying adults as if I'm not one, it's not like I'm twelve, so the over twenty-fives. My father's generation. They're ... very pessimistic about the world."
