Welcome to Gaia! ::

While walking back to camp, Claire tilted her head at Cloud again. "So you're not part of SOLDIER? How come?" she asked curiously.

Nina waited just a bit longer before turning back to Vince, a hint of blush in her cheeks. "W-were you serious about that da-ate?..."

Claire frowned a bit before shaking her head at him. "You'll be part of SOLDIER one day. I just know it," she said brightly.

Nina was quiet for a few moments before kissing Vince lightly on the cheek. When she pulled back, she was blushing harshly while scratching the back of her head with a nervous/embarrassed expression.

Nina thought for a bit before resting her head against Vince's shoulder. "I-i guess... now would be a good time to say that I've had a crush on you for a while?..." she asked softly.

Claire glanced around for a moment at the camp. When she spotted the Captain, she let go of Cloud's hand but remained where she was. "Go on. If he doesn't mention anything about you leaving camp, then there's no need for me to interfere. If he bothers you, then I'll step in~" she said with a small nod.

Claire seemed to wince when the Captain started yelling. She bit her lip before trotting up to the Captain and even pushing him away from Cloud slightly. "It's not his fault! I was out of camp and had gotten lost. Cloud found me and brought me back here safely rather than getting into more trouble with who knows what enemy could have been lurking in this area," she said to the Captain, almost yelling back at him.

Nina nodded slightly. "Yeah... When I said that I had completed a mission nearby, I could have just went back to Shin-Ra with everyone else. When I found out that you were here too, I stayed back just so I could see you again... And Claire of course~" she teased lightly.

Claire didn't flinch back this time but merely glared back at the Captain while holding Mr. Fluffy-Feet tightly in one hand. "I'm Claire Hitomi, 1st Class SOLDIER Vince Hitomi's sister," she said rather proudly.

Nina closed her eyes for a bit, a small smile on her lips. "I'm just... glad you actually asked..."

Nina glanced up at him and returned the kiss lightly on his lips.

Claire grinned widely, sticking her tongue out at the Captain. "So neh~ You've gotta be nice to me. And thanks to Cloud, I didn't get hurt or lost in this place. If I did, and no one was watching over me..." she paused for a moment, pretending to cough while inserting the phrase "the Captain and Infantrymen" between the playful coughs. "Then SOLDIER wouldn't be too happy about that..." After a moment, she only smiled brightly like the innocent child she was and gave Cloud a quick hug. "Bye Cloud! See ya later, m'kay? I've gotta go find 1st Class Sephiroth and 2nd Class Zack now. I'm sure my brother and 1st Class Nina will come back in a bit~" Every time she mentioned another SOLDIER member, she glanced up at the Captain to make sure he knew she had 'connections' and was untouchable. Even though she was messing with the Captain, she was serious about seeing Cloud later. After all, he was a friend now, wasn't he? "Bye bye Cloud!" she said again before skipping off, carrying her stuffed rabbit in one arm like usual.

Nina held the kiss for a bit, shutting her eyes. When she pulled back slightly, she opened her eyes halfway and looked back at Vince. "I love you..."

Claire only giggled when she heard the Captain's shaky tone of voice. She trotted back to the area with the tents. "Sephy! Zack! Are either of you around?" she called, tilting her head as she skipped.
