The longer the silence stretched out, the more her nerves seemed to fray and unravel.
She hadn't told anyone, but despite her claims that everything was fine now her nightmares had come back. Maybe they weren't quite the same as they had been for a while there, but they continued to happen regardless and they were becoming more and more frequent.
Sometimes Rinoa even wondered if everything wasn't just a giant nightmare in the first place and that she would eventually wake up to find that this entire crazy trip to the future was just some construct of her sleeping mind. Which naturally did wonders for her temperament since there's nothing like doubting your own reality to make a girl walk around on tenterhooks.
So as Squall continued his rather characteristic silence,(despite the whole thing about the fact that this whole 'we need to talk' thing had been his idea) Rinoa started to walk around the room one hand on her necklace at all times as she looked around.
