"I'm tired of this," Sazh grouses, going to sit down, rubbing at his aching legs. "This--- fucking--- l'Cie bullshit."
"What, and you think the rest of us aren't?" Lightning snaps. "For fuck's sake, you're a father, and you're whining like you're the baby!"
The reminder of Dajh strikes him to the quick, and he almost snaps at her--- then he does a double-take.
She's a kid herself, dammit, for all she's a sergeant. A kid herself who's had to be a parent for far too long.
On impulse, he goes over to her. "Good thing we've got you for a mom, then, huh, kiddo?" he says, and she starts to recoil and to snap back at his contradictory bit of reassurance--- then falls oddly silent as he drops a kiss onto her brow.
She doesn't protest when he sits beside her and puts his arm around her, and after a moment, she even lets herself lean in.
(A/N: Annnnnnnd, oh god, you've given me an idea for a crossover prompt! Whee!)
