"Yeah years! What about our friends back in our world? You okay with not seeing your ma again?" He wasn't. He sure as hell wasn't! ...Well not about Zell's ma, Mrs. Dincht was a nice lady, but they weren't that familiar. He definitely wouldn't want Zell to die in some far off world where he couldn't even get word back to her about her son's demise though. Every parent deserved some sort of closure. Just having your child up and disappear... It had to be painful.

And Irvine had his own friends to worry about. Both, back at Galbadia and Balamb Gardens. And of course there was Matron who had to deal with the fallout from being the dreaded sorceress. He didn't want to leave her to face that without her kids. So a little uncharacteristically his hand slammed on the counter.

"I am thinking about this Zell! It's no storybook! You have to know if you want to do this of course I'll back you up. But I've got some reservations. Can you blame me?"
