In his defense... the years since Darkness took their world have largely been spent with, somehow, less emotional maturity than he'd had before things had gone to shit. Would either one of them know how to deal with the other if there wasn't some level of friction between them? Of course he sasses Squall. That's.... how they are. How they've always been.
(He thinks, briefly, of Hayner and the others. An entire lifetime of memories and people that don't exist outside his memory anymore. How it's always been is shit. But he doesn't know how to be anything else.)
Whether Squall believes it or not he is making an effort. Which only makes it sting more when Squall just walks off like he's supposed to follow along like a good little doggie. (Somewhere he remembers being called the Sorceress's lapdog and that stings too.)
"One Garden to another, huh?" It could be an innocent enough statement, observation, even amusement but there's something biting and bitter in his tone that makes it clear it's not. What it is meant to be he's not sure. An accusation?
It's been so long that sometimes Squall forgets the connections to his old live and a comment like that does have him pause. He waits for Seifer to catch up with him before walking beside him, still leading but not in front. "Yeah...I guess I did leave one for another..."
There is so much more he wants to say but words fail him. He left his whole life in that other world, so many and found this nee one, a new purpose. Or rather he was forced into this new one. It hasn't been for naught, he knows that. While he's not a keyblade wielder he still did help Sora in the gran scheme of things and helped get this world back to its peaceful existence. His part was important and he wouldn't change that, just like he wouldn't change their past either. Sure he'd have liked to do things different, better, but maybe it was meant to be this.
"So...have you looked around at all yet or...you came to find me immediately?" He's not sure if that's the right question to ask so he shakes his head immediately and tries again. "Actually...are you hungry? I can make you something at my place."
