"A great sea dragon, yeah. It's the guardian of Wutai, where I'm from." Sheska's next words shook him out of his introspection, however.

"What happened, do you know? I...can heal, a little. I found a Cure in the bag in my room with these clothes." He rummaged around in the pockets of his oversized pants, and pulled out an orb the size of a large marble, an opaque pale green all the way through. He held it in the open palm of his hand and concentrated on it, brows furrowing a little - the orb glowed a soft green. After a few seconds he released the spell and looked at Sheska again. "I've never used it for anything big, though...mostly just healing scrapes and stuff I get up in the mountains, so Father doesn't know."
