"Oh, there's a couple nice places in Balamb. Some places to eat, and we can go see the ocean at the docks. And I'll take you and Serah for a ride on my hoverbike! It's here, in the garage!"

How that had happened, he still couldn't explain. But it didn't matter; it could carry Snow and two light girls, so it would.

"We'll make it a little business and a little pleasure. Serah can give you some pointers on your classes, and I can... be tall. I'm good at that, right?"

He won't overdo the message in words, but he'll live it to the best of his abilities: Vanille is not alone, and never will be.
