Tifa's gone home. Sorry to her friends here.

Can't even give us a minute to say goodbye, can you.

Mm, I don't know. [Cloud dries his hands off, and starts capping the bottles to replace them in the cabinets.] Obnoxious people have that weird ability to find friends everywhere.

It's easy to make friends, especially with people who are open to it. Those relationships don't take much effort on either end. [A pause; Zack's not making any move to help, mostly because when they're done they'll probably leave, and he's not too sure of what to do beyond drinking. Is this all Cloud needs...?] ...Best friends are the ones that you have to work for.

[Cloud pauses at that. And when he speaks again his voice is feigned casual, but there's a tightness beneath it.] So...best friends? I guess that works.

[Action]

[wingenvy]

[...That doesn't sound good.] You don't sound so sure.

[Action]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

I'm sure. [Cloud tosses the towel onto the counter.] But we should go before someone shows up demanding a drink or a meal.

[Action]

[wingenvy]

[And for once Zack opts to let it go, because the day's been hard enough without starting some kind of argument.] ...Right. You wanna spar or something?

[Action]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

...actually, I think I'm just gonna stargaze.

[Action]

[wingenvy]

[Wat.] Stargaze?

You know, those little lights in the sky at night? [Cloud snorts and heads for the door, pausing at it to wait for Zack.]

[Action]

[wingenvy]

Still a brat. [Zack follows him over, giving him a little shove out the door.] I didn't know you were into that.

[Action]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

[Cloud elbows him in return, sure to lock the door after them and pocketing the key this time.] I'm not into it like it's a hobby. I just...like doing it. [When I need to think.]

[Action]

[wingenvy]

[Zack steps back, waiting for him to finish up, hands clasped together on his head.] On your own, or...? [He doesn't want to make any assumptions.]

[Action]

[Cloud raises a brow at him.] It's a quiet activity that requires you to lie still for some time.

[Action]

[wingenvy]

.....I can do that! [Maybe.]

[Action]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

Zack, I doubt you could even sit still long enough for a haircut.

[Action]

[wingenvy]

I can so! I've had lots of practice with sitting still!

[Action]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

[Oh God Zack that was CUTE. You sound like a three-year-old. Cloud covers his mouth and half-folds his arms, hiding the smile with the motion of rubbing his face thoughtfully.] Yeah? When?

[Action]

[wingenvy]

[Oh god and Cloud's smiling, he can't answer honestly now. Uh. Think of something. Come on.] ...I dunno. Lots of times. And I've been stargazing, too!

[Action]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

It's not called stargazing when you glance up at the sky as you run to your next destination, Zack.

[Action]

[wingenvy]

No, I mean real stargazing! Looking up and checking out all the constellations, and watching for shooting stars, stuff like that!

[Action]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

Ohhh, I'm impressed. I guess it's all right if you join me then.

[Action]

[wingenvy]

Oh, how generous of you to let me look at the sky.

[Action]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

Hm. I guess you can just look at the sky on your own time, then. [Heading back for the house, waving a hand as he strides past Zack.]

[Action]

[wingenvy]

Ahhh, you really are such a brat! [And Zack jogs after him and gives him another playful shove.]
