Don't touch my youngest, he explodes.


Yuffie, we're gonna leave tomorrow. Also Cid, join my party. Sorry Leto, but I think for the good of the plot you're going to have to bite the big one. We'll bring you back later, don't worry.

...I'm sorry. Can I talk to you?


[[Private//85% Unhackable]]

Tell me the truth; did you take her, or did she go back?

[Simon and Cloud are out walking about because the boy keeps bloodying up the house and scaring Cloud half to death. ...why he thought a walk outside would be a good idea is beyond me.]

[That does make Cloud stop, and he clutches the edge of the bag.]

...so?

[Action]

[wingenvy]

[Zack stops too. Cloud's paying attention now, so he deserves the same of him.]

....I want to hear it.

[Cloud clutches the bag tighter, but purses his lips.]

[Action]

[wingenvy]

[It's fine, he can wait it out.]

...I don't want to complain. [Cloud goes back to packing, stuffing things into the bag with renewed fervor just to have something to do with his hands. A distraction.]

[Action]

[wingenvy]

[Zack takes a chance and grabs at Cloud's wrist, hoping to stop him. He doesn't want any distractions.]

You know that's not what it is.

[Cloud swallows hard.]

...I...want her to go away.

[Action]

[wingenvy]

[....Ah. Jenova.

No more running away.]

...I know. We all do.

[Action]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

...we can't find her.

And...I can block her out, but she's still there, and with my memories going, she keeps... [He gestures vaguely with his free hand] trying to...I don't know, fill up the spaces. I don't know how to say it.

[Action]

[wingenvy]

There must be something we can do. We're getting attacked from all sides, here.

[Action] lol o hai egg's dumb

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

It was a lot simpler before.

At least there she was coming after us.

[Action] fff ilu

Life's never as easy as you want it to be. What's Kadaj got to say about all this?

He's being really weird.

I don't know. I don't want to push him and ruin everything.

[wingenvy]

I guess that's smart. You know him better than me.

Maybe we ought to arrange some kind of search. She can't hide forever.

[Action] o mai /fans self :'>

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

That didn't work out so well last time we did.

[Action]

[wingenvy]

Maybe we gave up too easily.

Zack... [Cloud musters a smile and removes his wrist from Zack's grip, renewing his packing efforts and double-checking to make sure he didn't forget anything.]

I'll be fine. I just...get in these funks. You know how I am.

[Action]

[wingenvy]

[Well... that's definitely an improvement. Zack relaxes a little, reaching up to grip his shoulder briefly.]

Just as long as you know I'll be here to drag you out of them.

[Action]

[Cloud nods, head dropping down again as he closes the bag and tosses it next to the bed.]

I know.

[Action]

[wingenvy]

[Zack just smiles. What a relief.]

[Action]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

[Cloud stands and offers a hand up for Zack.]

Thanks for coming to cheer me up.

[Action]

[wingenvy]

[Zack takes it gratefully, letting Cloud help him up.]

It's never a problem, Spike.

[Action]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

I'm probably going to sleep now, so... [So get out. B|]

[Action]

[wingenvy]

Oh sure, thank me and tell me to get the hell out. That's nice.

Well, you could stay but I was under the impression that Valentine's Day was over.
