>>6333843>September 20th, C.E 70The speech you gave was... Brief, completely spun over your own words as you made with what felt right at the moment.
<span class="mu-s">Possibility.</span>
That word hadn't only just meant the opened possibilities that Non-Coordinators could have within ZAFT as you graduated as a pilot.
It meant... The chance that could be had after so much effort had been put, a chance for the war to end, a chance...
"<span class="mu-i">A chance for reconciliation...?</span>" Rusty arched an eyebrow as he quoted the speech as it was replaying on a news terminal "I'm not sure I follow, I don't think most of the PLANTs would."
Surely... It'd made quite an impact on the news as you took a quiet moment with Rusty away from any cameras or onlookers to ask questions of.
<span class="mu-i">But he did ask one, just about now.</span>
"I had a friend... One who I hadn't been able to see for a few years now." Rusty seems to nod at that "I assume he's... Gone, with the war having started, but I have a hope that one of these days. After all is over, I can meet him once again."
"<span class="mu-i">Amen.</span>" Rusty tries to sound cool with the gesture as you give him a puzzled look. "I mean... I get it, I guess, maybe once we're on service we can ask for shore leave in a neutral station and-."
You had for a moment, just realized how dangerous it could be to your fabricated past if Rusty started asking away for Etie, as you coughed.
"I meant it when I said, <span class="mu-s">After</span>. The war." You remark attempting to drop the subject as Rusty dunks away his own can of juice towards a paperbin.
"You never know, Frieden, You almost died at Endymion. Meeting them maybe's not a priority or anything... <span class="mu-s">But it'd go well after all of this.</span>" While he says it with such relaxed yet well-intentioned ignorance...
<span class="mu-i">That can't be done, not until everything is over.</span>
