"What's 'blitzball'?" Why does she think it has something to do with the water?

[sublimelymagnificentblitz]

"Big sport you play in floating water spheres. Probably shouldn't surprise you that I'm the best, huh?" Okay, he might be cutting out his problems with alcohol and his decay, but...

[scalpedsociety]

"...Water spheres?"

"That's kind of amazing." Sounds more exciting and nice to look at than her life.

[sublimelymagnificentblitz]

"Kind of crazy. Whole thing's kind of crazy. Gets into magic and giant monsters and..."

Trailing off, Jecht shook his head. He'd answer if she asked, but only if she asked.

[scalpedsociety]

"It sounds much more exciting than what I see." Or maybe that's because she doesn't remember the monsters of her world yet.

[sublimelymagnificentblitz]

"Haven't heard much about it yet," Jecht rumbled. A neutral statement -- she could elaborate or not as she chose.

[scalpedsociety]

She will, a little.

"It's nothing too special... it gets unbearably hot during the summer, all the people talk like I do, magnolia's bloom like weeds, and there's a river in the area where I am from."

[sublimelymagnificentblitz]

"Sounds... so damn sedate for you." Where's the energy, the passion, the fiery girl he loved?

[scalpedsociety]

"It's the sort of place you have to make your own excitement. Or you have to look for it. I was always busy, I had eleven other women to take care of." Also murders to do and corpses to rob, good times.

[sublimelymagnificentblitz]

"Heh heh. Take care of." Still trying to keep things light with some coarse humor, though the effort rang hollow.

He reached out with the hand that wasn't around her, reaching for her own.

"I don't know anything that's happening. But if I'm damn sure of one thing, it's that I'm glad you're in my life."

[scalpedsociety]

Little does he know is that dirty joke does have grains of truth in it.

His hand reaches out for her own, she gladly takes his. It feels... right and she can't help but smile as him. "I am too." While trapped in a cage, she met a knight, faithful and true and chivalrous.

She leans and kisses him, gentle and warm, her hands going through his his hair.

My Knight.

[sublimelymagnificentblitz]

It's Aramat. She's a hungry girl. He doesn't know, but he sure guesses.

"I'd make you mine," he said, his lips gentle against hers as they broke the kiss but didn't quite separate, "if you were that kinda girl. I got music and I got you. Don't care how shit the rest of it gets, that'll keep me going."

[scalpedsociety]

Admittedly, she can be a bit of a glutton.

"That doesn't sound too bad... being yours." She doesn't care if anything is real, he's real and he's here with her

[sublimelymagnificentblitz]

"Yeah, right up till you saw some hot meat you wanted." He pressed a kiss to her forehead, his laughter just a little rumble in the depths of his chest.

[scalpedsociety]

"I'm not going to deny choice protein when it's in front of me. I like to have variety. You'd understand that... right?" Unless he's actually serious.

[sublimelymagnificentblitz]

"'Course I understand it. Maybe sometimes I just wish..." No need to finish that sentence. Jecht tugged her a little closer. "But hey. I'll take you as you are. Gladly."

[scalpedsociety]

"...That I was all yours? Maybe you can convince me, but until then you'll have to share me." She coos out.

This talk about about a open relationship in a church, how sinful.

[sublimelymagnificentblitz]

He DID warn about getting smited. He may have been kidding, but they sure have reasons...

"Heh. I got no argument. All I got to offer is me, and you have that already."

[scalpedsociety]

"And I'm happy with you, as long as you're here. I can stay in this place." Which is getting stranger and stranger each day.

[sublimelymagnificentblitz]

Jecht's eyes unfocused slightly as he looked past her, faint horror and alarm mingling in his voice. "...I can't go back. If any of that's real, I have to stay here."

[scalpedsociety]

She leans on him. "I completely understand that. I don't want to go back either."

[sublimelymagnificentblitz]

"It's not -- it's not about wanting, Aramat." He took a breath, an unsteady and ragged gulp of air. "If it's real, and I go back -- people die. A lot of people."

[scalpedsociety]

He said he's more akin to a sea monster. "What happened to you over there?"

[sublimelymagnificentblitz]

"You'd -- I can't explain it." She'd believe it, but how COULD he explain Spira to anyone who hadn't been there? "But I'm... I ain't human any more. Just the heart of a monster."

[scalpedsociety]

"...Don't say that. You're human to me here. And if you insist that you are, then I'm in love with a monster with a capital and you're in love with a murderer, I guess that's how it is." First off, she can't believe she just admitted that to him, but at the same time it feels... freeing.
