[Hello Luceti, the Ion on your screen today is actually Florian wearing a colored paper headdress with green feathers taped onto it. Also his old newfeather dress, because why not. Lying on the floor in a sudden fit of ennui, he picks up his journal for some chatting.]
Ion's chair broke...I wanted to play with it, too. [He pauses for a moment, thinking. If Ion's chair is broken, then does somebody have to carry him around? Or do they find a new chair? Or--oh hey there's a big stick under his bed he'd totally forgotten about that.]
...Is there a special way to punch people? Like how there's special ways to use a sword, and you have to practice and all of that. So maybe I could learn to fight like that, and then I could save the day and be a hero and ride a dragon and--
[He's been lifting the journal higher and higher over his head as he says this from his position on the floor, to the point that it's practically touching the floor--which is when it slips out of his fingers and falls shut. Oops.]

Alright, dinner at the restaurant it is. See you then?

[The rest of the house will just have to fend for themselves.]
Action -- Later On...
He was willing to talk to anyone that cared, if need be.
Sitting at a table near the door, Cliff waited patiently for their arrival with only a glass of water as company. He had nothing but time on his hands.]
Action -- Later On...
It was with a smile and a wave that he finally noticed Cliff nearby, bouncing over to say hello.]
We're here~!
Action
This is one of the strangest requests Florian has made. [Strange for Florian, at least.]
Action
He laughed.]
Hah. I can see that! You really can't wait to get started, can ya?
[He sobered when Nephry arrived,and he s shook hand cordially at the offer. His grip was firm, but not too strong or too rough. At 6'5, he figured that she had enough to take in as it was.]
Sounds like, from the rest of the conversation on there. It's nice meeting you both in person, Ma'am.
[They were close to the same age, but utter strangers. It was best to play it safe.]

Cutting to the chase too soon was impolite.
Cliff returned to his seat as well, grinning in amusement at Florian's antics.]
Guess he really can't sit down...
Ma'am, is he always like this? Its gotta be nonstop over there if this is the norm.
Action
[That wasn't a challenge, Florian. Still, he finally takes a seat like a good little boy, sitting nice and proper at the table.
...He'll probably start kicking his legs in a few minutes.]
Action
Action
[He meant that in a good way. Rowdy people were something he was more than comfortable with.]
Have you tried asking him about this yourself? All he told me was that he wants to help people fight bad guys.
Action
[He'd thought that was a good enough intention to start with...]
Action
Well, if someone had tried to fight you, or you started wanting to hurt others, I would be a lot more concerned.
Action
Actually, that's a good point. Florian, what would you do right now if someone tried to fight you?
Action
Umm.......run away?
Action
Action
[He smiled.]
And that's a good answer. I don't plan to teach you if you're just going to go out and fight someone. It's no good if you do that.
Action
Action
Action
You said you wanted to help people, right?
Action
I want to help. I don't like seeing people sad.
Action
The number one way to help people not be sad or hurt when something happens is to be able to protect yourself. If you can run? Do it. That's a rule. Got that?
Action
So running is more important than fighting?
Action
No, protecting what you care about is more important. But, you can't even start to do that until you can protect yourself. For now, you've gotta run. One day you'll be able to, but it ain't gonna be quick.
