Again?

Do whatever you want. I really couldn't care less.

[ Liar, liar... ]

Comments

[recitings]

There is no hate, only joy
For you are beloved by the goddess
Hero of the dawn, Healer of worlds

[He chuckles, amused by seeing him around again.]

It's nice to see you again.

[ex_chocoboing98]

[ Despite it being a tad confusing, because who else gives poetry instead of saying hi... It is a nice sight. ]

Same.

[recitings]

How have you been, chocobo?

[ex_chocoboing98]

...

[ Le shrug, Gen. Not so good, man. ]

[recitings]

Ah. Well, I suppose it's high time you got to enjoy a new adventure, then.

[ex_chocoboing98]

[ He couldn't disagree more, Gen. Why couldn't he stay in costa with his nice memories huh? ]

I heard you've been on your own. Has it been as expected?

[recitings]

It has been alright so far. I do miss the old days so far. But I do think that where I am now feels like an extended vacation.

/failed, resistance was futile

[lightning_fists]

Is... Everything alright, Cloud?

yes. good.

[ex_chocoboing98]

Tifa...

[ She has no idea how long it's been since he's seen her. ]

You know me.

[ Is that a yes or a no? Hah! ]

[lightning_fists]

I do.

[ Likely about as long as this mun has seen a Cloud.

And yes, she does know him. Which is why she might look slightly worried. ]

Anything I could do to help?

[ex_chocoboing98]

[ Go with him? Help him endure the pain? Or you know, just stay away because it'd be horrible to see her suffer because of him. He's toxic, in every way. ]

Don't worry about it.

[lightning_fists]

[ Pfft. Since when has that ever stopped her from following him anywhere?

The concern standpoint is her normal default - he should know better than anyone. But, well. She's pretty sure that concern is the last thing that he wants from her. So let's go with a softer approach. ]

But... worrying is what I do.

[ And worrying about you, my little Chocobo, is pretty much her life's story. ]

[ex_chocoboing98]

... You shouldn't.

[ She shouldn't have ever gotten used to it! What kind of life was that, worrying all the time? About him, specially... It was not worth anyone's time. ]

[protomateria]

[ a long, slightly awkward pause, then: ] .. Trouble?

[ex_chocoboing98]

[ A not so long, still awkward pause in response. ]

It likes following me around.

[protomateria]

Following all of us. [ cue a decidedly Significant Look. vincent's got your back if you need him, cloud. ]

[ex_chocoboing98]

[ Aw, Vince! You care! ]

Heh... I guess you're right.

Having any lately?

[protomateria]

[ don't push it B( ]

Mm. [ a small dismissive gesture. ] .. She doesn't bring me out much.

[ex_chocoboing98]

[ so tsun! ]

Hnn... Lucky.

[ he feels special now c: ]

[bustered]

D'you reeeaaaalllllly not care?

[ex_chocoboing98]

[ Oh no! Run, ruuuun!

Okay, no. There is just a pout. ]

I don't!

[bustered]

[At least there's no hair ruffle!


......yet.]

Mm-hm.

[ex_chocoboing98]

[ What was that, Fair?

Oh, wait, no, he's supposed not to care. ]

... What?

[ Too much for that. ]

[bustered]

...hm?

[Oh, so now you're interested, huh? Huh?]

Oh, nothing. Nothing.

[ex_chocoboing98]

[ Zack. Zack, no. ]

...

[ He is interested alright. But merely tilts his head his way, as if waiting. He knows you're an impatient little critter... ]
