@Xurts; I think we have to agree to disagree. Too busy to argue atm.

But also remember how old Vivi is. He's a child and yet he can stand up for himself. I dont remember FFVIII that well, so I cant think of any examples, but I thought Squall was a bit pathetic at times. He was affected by losing sis for way too long. Vivi's situation is worse, and he has better excuses - his age, his complete lack of knowledge. Squall has grown up but he still cant recover.
