Oh dear, what a lovely fond look. One that has Nida thinking. So many things he's been left to think about given these people from... well, from his past. Squall and Rinoa and Seifer as they were in his past. Sometimes looking at them made him wonder at how young they had all been. But then he remember he's not THAT much older than them. That not THAT much time has passed for this situation.

"I got to be a kid for a while," Nida dismisses. "It isn't very worthwhile."

He hated his childhood and his memories of it. But, frankly, it hadn't been very good. So he wasn't a good example.

"Success is part will, Rinoa. Giving your heart to something and working toward that end."
