[I think it's been way too long to jump back into this. D: So uhh.. new day?] Romane's Home ❤ ❤ ❤ (Cid) (Suzy)
Cid and Suzy were outside of Romane's home, sure Cid had all the necessary keys, but now was not a time to simply barge in, he would knock. So Knock he did. The young monk knocked a few times and waited. Something odd about today was that he was dressed (hold your gasp) in something that wasn't monk's robes! (now you can gasp) so was Suzy.. only with armor. They both had actual clothes on, to ask Romane an actual question!
Sadly, the only person in town they knew who would let them borrow clothing was Holly.. and Holly had a lot of clothes she didn't even know she had, most of which wasn't even normal to normal people. So they ended up picking some really strange clothes...
[Cid is dressed like this, ladies - hold your orgasms]
[Suzy is wearing this]

The woman had been, as per usual, staring out her window and watching for any signs of suspicious behavior. Any behavior beyond that window, whatever disturbances in the placid, calm environment; she would pick up on it, she would react, and then she would return back to her vigilance. Her hand was on her gun as proof of her readiness, shoulders were squared and her jaw set in tension because she knew everything that could go wrong will go wrong if she didn't keep tense, ready, and – AH!! She knew it!! A knock at the door had her standing, twirled, and poised with a gun to her own bedroom door. ..But, the knock was from downstairs. With bated breath, she slid her feet carefully towards the doorway, quiet as ever while her ears strained through the beat of blood and heart resounding in her head.
Nothing.. Nothing, everything was the same. But, that knock.. Cid never knocked. It was someone new – someone out to get her again, put her back in that building – she wouldn't let them, though. She would kill them first! She could do that, she had the gun! And two hyper, happy rottweilers to attack whoever was at the door with love and saliva! ..That last part wasn't nearly as threatening as she had hoped it to be, but Korth and Mauser were scraping at the door and panting, whimpers issuing forth when they spotted their master coming forward. She didn't pay them any mind, though, as she set one hand careful on the door knob, checking it. Locked. As usual. She looked down at the dogs, who went from staring at her, to bouncing around on the ground in eager anticipation for a new guest.
She stopped a small frown at their naivety and took a deep, slow breath in preparation. Then, in one quick, fluid motion, she unlocked the door, cracked it open before returning her hand to her pistol and kicking open the door the rest of the way. The dogs pushed their way forward first, mauling Cid with love and kisses before going to Suzy curiously, leaving Romane to keep in position from behind, her gun cocked and swaying from Cid to Suzy then to Cid again.. What was he wearing? “..Mr. Kuan-yin?” She questioned uncertainly at the Chinese man, her brow creasing. That really looked like him, she had seen him without his face mask enough, but.. she had never seen him outside of his robes before. Just like it was near impossible to catch Romane outside of her uniform.. Which could either mean that this was a man disguised as Cid who knew next to nothing on his everyday apparel! Who was that woman with him in the equally strange clothing?! The gun she had lowered in confusion had raised again with panic. “State your name and reason for intruding onto my own property immediately or I will be forced to exercise my own authority!” She ordered the blond, since she still wasn't sure on who the individual next to her was. It was safest to get the complete stranger first.

Romane's Home ❤ ❤ ❤ (Cid) (Suzy)
Cid, once he had dogs off him, petted the two, as Suzy did cautiously too. "It is me, Cid, Ms. Romane. I was only able to borrow clothing from Ms Holly and these were clothing that I found the most beneficial for my needs of trying to appear to be a normal person in this society, however they do look rather ridiculous compared to the basic darker shade of clothing that most happen to wear in the island. However, to not be concerned if the change in apparel is abnormal, for it is also uncomfortable and I do not plan to wear it again in the future." Cid explained, then stood up straight and looked over at Suzy. "I simply wished to knock so that the introduction would be more formal. But here is Suzy." The young girl (who insisted in carrying her sword when meeting Romane) bowed politely. "It is a pleasure to meet you, ma'am." Cid smiled nervously, so far so good, and no one was shot.
"Ah, yes, she is my daughter." Well not officially, or biologically. But Romane wasn't silly enough to believe he would have an actual teenage daughter for his age. Neil might, but that's probably because there has to be a reason for there to be so many Chinese.

A daughter? Romane studied the oddly dressed girl standing next to the monk for a moment in silent curiosity and skepticism. Cid was, at most, twenty-seven.. He could have been twenty-six or twenty-five as well, but Romane had issues with his age considering there weren't many files on the man and she hadn't bothered to ask, but his looks couldn't peg him as anywhere near his thirties.. The girl, though, seemed early teens, fourteen, sixteen, somewhere in that range.. If Cid had somehow impregnated a woman at a very young age, he could have – but, Cid? The man didn't know the first thing on reproduction! He had thought it had to do with watermelon seeds, last she checked! How could he possibly – ah.. Unless he was raped at a young age and the trauma had suppressed any knowledge at all pertaining to sex? ..Was that possible? But, how would – ah, this made too little sense, no matter how she thought of it! She could only shake her head, lower her gun slightly, and glance at Cid, in his.. strange clothing to ask, “How?” She didn't understand any of this!

"I do not understand you question." Cid responded. Really, he did not mean what she meant by how, it could mean a lot of things, if she was more specific with her question he would be able to answer it, but until then he could not. "You see, she has been living here secretly.. it just has not come up. Which is why I wanted you tell you now, along with something else..." Cid rubbed the back of his neck nervously. "As a single father I cannot raise her properly, which is why she requires a mother. So with that said, I am in great need of finding a woman capable of raising her with the utmost ability.. which is why I wanted to ask you.. Romane..." He now looked down, before trying to make eye contact again, such an awkward question to ask. "Romane.. would you.. ask Ms. Rachel to be my daughter's mother? I tried to in the last festival that we went to, but could not due to the commotion of those two people."

Romane's pistol dropped – oh, not out of her hands, of course, but it did lower dramatically as she stared at Cid in a mixture of shock, confusion, and, somewhat surprisingly, offense. It was odd, even to her, that she should find it insulting that Cid didn't think she was a capable mother, never mind the impossibilities of him being a father to begin with, but.. Rachel? What was it that Rachel had that Romane didn't?! Romane liked Rachel, she was her friend, but she wasn't nearly as secure, stable, and overall aware as Romane was! How could she possibly be trusted with a child?!
“Ah..!” ..Well, that sounded pathetic. But, really, Romane didn't know what she was supposed to say, so whatever sentence she had started in contempt died on her tongue. She shut her mouth and swallowed dryly. Cid and Rachel..? If they were mother and father – ah, but.. Romane's own parents were separated – no. That didn't count. Rachel was a good woman and Cid was a good man, not the complicated bull her own family had been. They could.. easily.. Ah, but, she.. She shouldn't be worried over this. At all. It wasn't her business. She sheathed her gun and nodded briskly at him, turning on her heel and leaving the door open in expectancy that they would get the cue to come in. “I will phone Rachel immediately. Bring Korth and Mauser in.” She ordered without turning around, simply raising her voice while she made it to the kitchen.

Cid nodded, and thanked her. With Suzy they brought the dogs in and closed the door. Suzy had quite a lot of fun locking the doors, so much so that she started unlocking them, just to get to relock them once more. Even then, she said. "She seems bitter." "Ahh.. no that is how she always acts, it is her regular personality. I believe it is due to the massive amount of black tea and radishes that she cosumes..." Bitter foods make you bitter. That's why Cid only eats mild and bland food. Still, it was difficult to tell when Romane was being herself or upset. Cid followed to the kitchen, and came to a sudden realization of what he was asking of her. "Ms Romane. My previous request seems to be rather illogical, and remembering the importance of this home and it's space, along with my current residency here with you, it seems that it would be wiser for me to instead ask if you would be willing to be her mother." If not, Suzy would have to be raised as if her parents were divorced, and even then she would spend time with Romane who might greatly influence her.
Cid would just have to make sure that Romane does not influence her in a way that she strongly believes everyone out there will rape and murder her. Not a smart thing to get a girl who somehow makes sharp knives for a living, and carries an inventory's worth with her to believe.

Romane had already had the phone to her ear, waiting patiently for her partner – or, now, boss, to pick up. She was still somewhat bitter over the idea of Rachel being the sheriff – Romane did more arrests than she ever had in a season! She had a longer list of suspects, knew the town's residents crimes by heart, and yet the blond had been picked to advance?! Romane even did her paperwork better..! Although, what once was precise, logical paperwork was now something more full and frantic.. But full and frantic of the new truths she had discovered! She was improving in her work from the already perfect officer she was and yet.. She pursed her lips. Even now, Rachel was still getting the favor with someone like Cid..! That thought stopped when Cid entered the kitchen and spoke to her, Mauser strolling in after him as the dog had taken a liking to the man, while Korth stuck with his investigation of the new girl. She only took a small note of that while she went to focus on his words, her expression flattening back into it's usual stoic position even when confusion and slight panic grew. ..He.. was asking her now? ..It was important for him to stay with her? ..Ah, of course, there was more to his list than that, but that last addition was what she focused on. It wasn't complete reassurance, but it was enough to sooth her nerves.. slightly.
She hung the phone before Rachel could answer and crossed her arms, turning to him. “Your first instinct was to ask Rachel.” She stated that instead with a slight pursing of the lips, distaste at that idea. It took him to think before he could conclude she was the better option?! They had been living together! Surely, she would be the first choice! “It is apparent through that that you would prefer to raise a child with Rachel as you view her as more capable than I in that category.” That was strangely close to a snap at the man, but Romane hardly cared. “How well do you know Rachel, Mr. Kuan-yin?” She hadn't thought so before, but.. Were they friends? Without her knowing? What else could they be doing without her knowing? Plotting about running away from her so they could be friends in a different country without her..! Planning friendship dates behind her back?! There were plenty of things they could be doing and she didn't like any of them!

Romane's Home ❤ ❤ ❤ (Cid) (Suzy)
"I do not know her personally Ms Romane. However I have seen her a few times in the past, and know basic information based on what one can notice..." Cid informed him, he didn't understand how him knowing basically nothing of her still made her a better choice could be found as offending to Romane. "Ouch." Suzy said, petting Korth. "Erm. Ms Romane..." He did not understand why she seemed to angry. "I believe that you would exceed at parenting in most situations..." He said most, because he didn't want Romane to influence Suzy with her paranoia. "..But I have noticed somethings which have troubled me greatly of you being able to raise a child of mine."
Cid paused, for some odd reason, he felt his cheeks glow with heat. "..People would assume us to be lovers." Cid said. He felt awkward saying such words. "..We are living together, and if we are to raise a child in the same home together, then others would assume that our union would be romantic in some way." He scratched his cheek, the warmth made it feel odd, which made him think it was itchy. Cid doesn't have many experiences with blushing. "...I fear that such might ruin the possibilities for you, as a woman, to eventually find a husband." Raising a child with a man who lives you tended to be frowned apart with single men looking for a long term commitment.. at least Cid believed.
"However, Rachel raising a child with someone who would not live with her and only require her to do a few motherly tasks, whatever they may be-" Cid sounded as if needing a mother around was that important! Then again, from what he's been able to tell so far in Nirvani; being an orphan meant you did not understand why the television occasionally shows people hugging without clothing. "-Would make her look like a hussy." Not that he believed Romane seeming like a hussy would be worse. "The only other females I believe might make a good mother are Ms Lulu," A horrible idea, "Ms Ginger," A worse idea, "And Ms Bela." "I wonder where he picked that list from, Nirvani Whores Magazine?" Suzy whispered to Korth.

Romane had went from offended to.. more offended to.. embarrassed, then back around anger, maybe some confusion to flavor that, before returning to offended again. All in all, it was a cartwheel of uncomfortable emotions that soured Romane's mood more than usual by the time the man had finished his overly worded answer. She frowned at him, then at Mauser who was laying down and appeared to have fallen asleep during all of that, unaware of his master's emotions or, rather, desensitized to them. The dog had learned by this point that if he were to ever sleep, he should ignore half of Romane's tensions.. Not that Romane took much note of that aside from mild annoyance. Now, back to Cid! She had to reply before he did or else they would have to wait much longer than necessary and time certainly was too important of a thing to waste!
“I do not want a husband if it would mean not living with you.” She stated with complete certainty on that. The only males she could ever trust were John and Neil, both of which were either too old or.. too that to actually live with. To allow anyone else inside would be too much for her to handle and she rather liked having a friend to live with. It was.. comfortable. “I would also not care if we were to be assumed to have a relationship differing from friends..” She stopped there – that felt.. oddly awkward to say. In fact, it made looking at him evenly a bit more difficult than it should, but she only meant that she had no worries on what others thought as she already had her own survival at the forefront of her mind. There wasn't any room to pay attention to gossip. “Regardless, Ms. St. Jean is already a parent, Ms. Pepper.. ah, Valentine,” She still had issues with that name change, but Neil had been kind enough to update her on Ginger's strange change. “is a whore, as well as Ms. James.” Plus, Ginger was an alcoholic, but since when did that affect parenting? “Neither of those females would be suitable parents.”

"Ah.. whore?" He said, unsure what she meant. "I do not understand, they seem as if they get along with a large selection of people, meaning that their social skills are superb and would help Suzy with her own, is that bad in some way?" He asked her, innocently. "...I have not even asked you, but do you believe that you would make a suitable mother to my daughter, Ms Romane?" He had to ask this, seeing as Suzy said she was 'bitter' (flavored?) when he suggested Rachel, and she seemed to be shooting down the other possible candidates.

“Correct. A whore is a promiscuous woman.” Romane explained – wait, would Cid understand that? She frowned and looked at Mauser, who seemed pretty adamant in his nap, then did a quick glance of their surroundings. She couldn't slack off on such a task, especially since she had been focusing on Cid during this whole time. Anyone could have sneaked in while she wasn't looking..! Everything seemed to be in the same place it was in before, though, so she returned her eyes to Cid and went on in her explanation before answering his last question. However long she could put it off, the better. “Ah, a woman who would.. kiss and hold hands with any individual who would ask for such treatment.” ..Wouldn't Cid do the same? Damn. “Ah, sleep in the same bedroom or possibly invite into her home without questioning..”
..That was exactly what Cid would do! She grit her teeth – why did he have to make this difficult?! Romane could say whore to even a child and they would know what she was referring to! At the very least, they would know it wasn't a good thing! She knew a whore was a bad thing and he should too – why did she even have to explain it?! “Do you believe you would make a suitable father to your daughter, Mr. Kuan-yin?” She retorted instead, her frown growing in frustration, “If you do not know what a whore is or the results of a young female using one as a role model, how could you raise a young woman into an upstanding individual?” Never mind whether she was capable!

"Ahh..." Cid blinked a few times, in confused. Someone who would kiss and hold hands with people who ask? He would do such if someone asked him to, it would be rude not to. As he heard her say the next part, his shoulders sagged. He would not mind if Romane slept in the same bed as he, and was more than willing to allow strangers into the home for a night until they are fully capable of continuing their travels.. all Romane was saying, was that Cid was a whore! "I.. I did believe that with someone who can cover the necessary things which I cannot, I could possibly do a decent job at raising a child. However, after hearing you, I strongly believe I would not make a good father..." He said, as his head slowly sagged, looking at the floor. "As the news that I am a whore is shocking and unpleasant, and has me greatly troubled for the safety of all of those around me..."
Suzy's grin quickly took over. "This is so absurd." She whispered to the dog. Even though she was stepping her boundaries, she teased; "Father Cid, does that mean that Ms Romane is a whore too? She allows you into her home, and feel strongly in my belief that she would not mind if you are to ask her those tasks to be performed." Cid's odd speech was getting to her already.

Wait, Cid a whore? No! She didn't mean to imply that! Cid would make a better father than most of Nirvani, he was one of the few trustworthy individuals she knew, someone who hadn't done her any wrong! She could see him with a child, but... then he would raise a child that was as naïve and innocent as him! Two people to have to look after! He couldn't drop the child on someone else – by his own words, he would have just as easily given Suzy to Rachel as she would Bela! Then Suzy herself had to step in before Romane could answer the man, her eyes shifting to the blond with an elevated eyebrow. What could- ...Her.. a whore? Romane's heart about stopped. Maybe she could have taken it as a joke and brushed it off, but, since when did anyone believe Romane could be capable of that? It stung to hear such a comment, especially when she knew that she really wouldn't mind that at all. Sleeping in the same bed as Cid had been a request she had stopped herself from asking more than a few times and holding hands was pleasant – she knew she enjoyed it.. But, that didn't make her a whore, did it?
“You are mistaken. A male is incapable of being a whore.” She said numbly after a moment of frowning silently to herself, “R.. Regardless..” She cleared her throat – ah, did that come off.. shakily? Much more than she had ever expressed before.. It was alarming to hear her own voice, but she pushed on like it hadn't even happened. “I believe you would be a capable father figure if you are perhaps more careful.” ...Ah, but could she really trust Cid to that? She had spent a good amount of time trying to get just him to be more cautious! “..However, it would be more beneficial for the child if I were to become her foster mother during which time as well.” All cleared up? Yes. It should be, at any rate, and then she could begin her parenting like she should have to begin with!

Romane's Home ❤ ❤ ❤ (Cid) (Suzy)
"..That is wonderful, thank you Ms Romane." Cid said, as he moved forward, and hugged Romane. It was a way some people showed their gratitude, was it not? He believed so recently, but was informed that it should only be done in special occasions. Such pleasant information that he learns from the wonderful place of books! Suzy, still bent down, whispered to the dog, "Hugs is a gateway to making babies." Books aren't always a reliable source of information though. Cid let go of Romane, unknowingly blushing - he just assumed that it was a chakra overacting for some strange reason, even though the only chakras in his head were the crown and third eye.. odd. "Ah, Suzy, you may now ask Ms romane those questions that I have told you to write down for when you have a mother figure in your life. I will bring in your odd metal weapons and armor..." Cid siad, mostly mumbling the last part about weapons and armor, and made his way out to grab Suzy's things.
Suzy, finally standing up again, took out a small square piece of paper from her bra, which Cid informed her was a 'woman's pocket' since women did not wear pants. Suzy unfolded the paper, revealing it to be a rather long list. "Thank you back-up mother, now, I have many questions to ask, first question..." She read the first thing on the list. "I believe I have been cursed by some type of evil shaman in the past, as I recently began expelling blood from the area which my liquid waste comes out of and causes pain on my torso. I wish to ask of you; where may I find this shaman so I can slay him for his black magic?" That's what happens when she asks Cid, he makes an assumption then tells her to ask her mother when she becomes available.
