Hope couldn't exactly think of a comeback to that. Mainly because Hope understood. He shook his head and gave Hunk an understanding smile and reached up to pat a thick arm. "I get it, Hunk. I really do."
It was not fine, but you do what you gotta do. And then, Hope made a face at the slime talk. He had a feeling Hunk was just pulling his chain now but he wasn't going to stop the big guy now. Maybe they'll show up one of these days and he can see for himself?
"I... well, I mean. I was just in Bodhum with my mom, watching the fireworks. Next thing I know, everyone is being rounded up for the Purge who were in Bodhum that night, so much happened on the way to Gran Pulse and next thing I know, I'm following people I don't know because I was so angry at one of them and..." He gestured to his brand. "Well, I'm a l'Cie now. The man I was angry at, Snow, I blamed him for my mom's death but he's honestly probably one of the best friends anyone could ask for. Even if he is kinda dumb. Lightning, she's the cool one of the group and sort of the leader, she's the one who taught me that it's not about can or can't, there's just some in things in life you just do."
As he went on, he wasn't sad or angry. He was actually happy to talk about his friends, because with or without them, he wouldn't be here today and he wouldn't have changed from the boy who clung to his mom not so long ago. It's a bit much to take in at fourteen, even he realized that, but they also revealed to the people what the fal'Cie were really about. He couldn't regret his actions now, he would live and stand by them.
"Vanille, a girl I met on the train, is the one who sort of pushed me to talk to Snow. She's very bubbly and bright, with a really pretty smile. She helped a lot in the beginning, before we split up and I was with Lightning. And then there's Sazh, he was kind of like the team dad and he understood more than anyone what the whole l'Cie business was about. He also had a baby chocobo chick in his afro, it's a present for his son, Dajh," He laughed. "And then, there's Fang. She and Vanille are actually natives to Pulse. She's the type to push you to your limits, always had a wise crack too but she was like Vanille, she has a big heart. She's the one who brought home how much of a family we were. I wouldn't be where I am today without them, you know?"
