[ he swallows, then straightens again to offer a smile, well-practiced and utterly convincing. ] Yeah. Soon as we get back, let's all jus'.. go. We'll figure out where we're goin' after we're good an' gone.
[ he tweaks her nose. ] I'm yer big brovver, en't I? Don' yer worry yer pretty 'ead no more 'bout nuffin'. I'm gonna' fix it all. [ it's a terrible lie and he knows it, but-- if she can be happy for just a little while longer.. if she can hope.. ]
[ the colour returns at the mention of sephiroth, leaving him embarrassed in a way no one else has ever managed. (he's got it bad. he knows it.) ]
Well, if th' writer'll jus' do some proper canon-reviewin' loike she says she's gonna' do, maybe I will. Proper-loike, I mean. In th' game 'e's in, though we'd 'aveta' start over from scratch there. [ a brief pause. ] If I do, you oughta' come, too, Beast. It'd be noice ter 'ave family there.
[ the blush darkens as he laughs, passing a hand over his face. ]
Oi, 'e.. 'e don' need ter take care of me, I'll be fine.
[ but he has, hasn't he? on the bad days, when joker had shown up at sephiroth's door wearing bite marks and bruises. he'd curled up in the general's bed and just slept, as sephiroth had watched over or lain with him.
he owes him more than he can ever say. ]
Any'ow, I'm the older brovver, remember? It's me wot ought ter be threatenin' people who court you.

I'd like that. A lot.
(She blinks and smiles a little - it's slow and tentative, but definitely there.)
Joker... (No. She's not going to burden him. Have another well-practiced smile.) I hope you see him again. I like that someone makes you happy.
