merlebleu[ After everything - defeating Ultimecia, surviving Time Compression - Rinoa had naively thought that all of their troubles would be over. They were heroes! They'd save the world! Surely, that meant that they'd be able to go back to their normal lives without issue.
But anti-sorceress sentiment is still prevalent, of course. When a crazy sorceress tries to take over a world that doesn't like sorceresses to begin with, people tend to think the worst of them. And, unfortunately, there are enough people aware of her powers to be an issue. She avoided being locked away in the Sorceress Memorial once, but that doesn't mean there aren't a disturbing number of people lobbying for another attempt.
So while she wants nothing more than to go back to Timber and finish what she'd started there, she's been staying at Garden out of fear. Walking back into Galbadia territory is dangerous, no matter who her father is. She'd much rather stay in Balamb, where the headmaster is sympathetic and her knight is nearby. At least she probably won't be murdered or imprisoned here.
Still, it's hard. And while she's been trying not to burden Squall too much with her troubles - their relationship is still relatively new, and given how private a person he is, she doesn't want to overwhelm him - there are times where she can't help needing someone to lean on. So that's why she's knocking on his door today: for reassurance, and for some familiar company. Hopefully he's not busy. ]
Squall...? Are you in there?
