Drabble request three

Title: Plans
Fandom: FFX-2
Rating: PG
Set: Pre-FFX
Spoilers: Minor, for Beclem
Pairings: N/A
Prompt: Beclem, in a scene where he's "a little more human." For yuna_flowering.
Notes: Another 100-word drabble. More characters that I haven't touched much, but it came fairly easily for all that.

"What will you do if we beat Sin?"

Chappu took the mug that Beclem offered. "Go back home to Besaid, and Lulu. Used to say I'd give her the Cup as a wedding gift, but the Calm would be better, ya?"

"Indeed." Beclem sipped his own drink. "The perfect time to start a new life."

"Yevon willing, it'll be soon. Maybe even this morning, if these babies work as good as the Al Bhed promised." Chappu checked his machina weapon.

"Yevon willing." Beclem slapped his friend on the back, then turned to watch the sun rising over the Djose Shore.

Love it! I always like to see the softer side of characters like Beclem, Nooj, etc... I always think it's sweet :) And I like Beclem, in an odd sort of way... :) Anyways, good job!

Glad to meet your expectations. :) I enjoy writing these little moments behind canon, and I do mean to write more about Beclem someday.

Thanks!

This is obviously such a tragic story and that is because of its setting. I like the way that you incorporate another piece of story we have heard before in the game, Chappu's plans to marry Lulu some time in the future that won't come.

I like the way you have made Beclem intoi someone Chappu can confide in, but still kept him fairly stern and serious. I don't think it likely he was ever a *very* frivolous sort of person , or if so that day was likely far in his past.

Thank you! That was definitely the mood I was trying to evoke.

I don't think it likely he was ever a *very* frivolous sort of person, or if so that day was likely far in his past.

I agree with that, although I can see him being less angry and bitter in the past as well. I've often wondered what changed him, and have bits of a fic drifting around in that vein.

Write it! Write it! :) (After your current project, of course)
