Many others would arrive after him, Squall merely sitting there waiting for this to be over. He didn't really want to be here, but his loyalty to his pack and the silent vows he had made would keep him in place. It wasn't her fault, after all. And it wasn't like he had a chance in the first place. He expected too much of his life, hoped too much for his life to finally take a turn for the better. And of course, he flew too close to the sun and got burned. His heart crushed to the ground, but he was learning again to close his heart out and not let anyone near it. Harsh thoughts, things he hadn't really thought about in a while. But he supposed it couldn't be helped. He would move on eventually, forget the hurt and the pain that came with falling in love and never wanted to go through it again. The last of the pack trickled in, Squall giving a side glance to someone who came to sit near him. Icy blues fell on Rohini, watching as her form pressed into the ground. Was she always this fearful? Perhaps there was something he could do to help her with that...gently, he reached towards her. Nose gently touching her shoulder as he motioned for her to sit closer, hopefully he'd be able to help boost her confidence. "There's no need to worry, I'll be right here okay? Confidence." He whispered to her.

At last, the meeting would start. Ears shifted as did his blue eyes as he cast a slight gaze at Loccian. Her voice was still good to hear, as much as he hated to admit. And he almost wished that his current life so far was just a nightmare, and he was waiting to wake up. But of course, this was reality. Someone like her would never be with someone like him. He simply wasn't good enough. And yet, he wanted something to fill that void. Perhaps with the new changes, he could find it if not elsewhere. Taking a breath to calm himself, he'd wait till she was finished. And moments later, when everything had been announced he'd prepare to speak.

Before his mouth opened, however, his gaze would find the form of a familiar small figure. Enola, Loccian's little girl. There was something he knew about her, and he was curious as to whether Loccian knew. He would tell her later in private, about his suspicion of her daughter. Although he was reluctant to, he wanted to make sure the girl was safe...since their meeting, she held a place in his heart now, and he wanted to make sure she would be safe. He'd watch over her like a Guardian, it was what Ellone would have wanted. Returning his gaze up to Loccian, he would speak confidently and with no bitterness or anger. Instead, his voice came out neutral, calm. Which surprised him. Was it because of his new thoughts of Rohini and Enola? Of wanting to protect and be something they could look up to? It would only leave him wondering.

"Loccian, if you don't mind. I would like to request a chance for Vintenar. I'll do what I must to get there, and you of all others know I am an able bodied warrior." At that mention, he cast a glance towards Pontifex and then back to her, a slight grin on his face at the memory of their first meeting. "I would also like to request...that Rohini, be my apprentice. And...Enola as well, when she gets old enough to train. I believe I can teach them confidence, and the skills to protect and defend themselves when the time comes." Upon finishing his requests, he sat tall with a gaze unwavering. Confident and hopeful. "I must also speak with you after this meeting. It's important." After the meeting, he would tell her about Enola's suspected blindness. Doubtful that she knew, for she had made no mention of it.
