"It's the site of the first attempt at space travel. Didn't work." She doesn't need to know Cid Highwind's there working on whatever the fuck he works on. "Mostly, it's just a town." Gracefully, he directs her around to the couch. Fuck, he cleaned it up -- no flight manifests, no work shit, no piles of paper, no empties -- so they might as well sit on it.
"Tell you something, Lara. For all the names you see on the map, I think most of this planet is pretty normal. I've only ever been to one other world and that was Hawaii on Earth, but it seemed a lot like this place only warmer. The company I work for has a whole branch devoted to space travel, but they haven't figured it out yet."
That's just the way it is.
"But they do know how to channel the planet's power source and turn it into usable energy, and... well... Shin-Ra kind of runs everything. I've been workin' for 'em ten years now. There ain't nothing that goes on here where they ain't involved."
Just a little tidbit of information for her.
"So wherever you want to go, there's gonna be company presence. They won't know you and they might or might not know me, but they'll recognize me." It's hard bein' off the clock sometimes. "So let's pick someplace real fun, 'cause it ain't like I get to spend quality time with a pretty lady in exotic locations a whole lot." It's his first vacation in years.
