So you're seriously thinking about going through with this? I mean it's not like it's anything to be afraid of. I've handled much worse...

but you won't progress at all if you don't even finish up the app. I don't want to hear you whining when the apps close and you didn't get mine in, got it?

Good for you, Denzel. Where to?

[equippedsmile]

Some place called themainframe, if she actually does something I mean. It seems like a weird place if you ask me.

[animusangelus]

I can't tell you much about it. [He wishes he could.]

[equippedsmile]

[ Little frown. ] It might not be so bad if you were there.

[animusangelus]

Maybe I am. Has your Mun checked?

[equippedsmile]

She says no one I'd even know is there or something like that.

[animusangelus]

[He curses under his breath.] Figures. Muns are horrible.

[equippedsmile]

I-it's okay though because I know how to handle myself.

[shinra_dog]

Hey, pipsqueak. You holdin' up alright?

[equippedsmile]

[ Makes a face at that nickname. He's not a pipsqueak B( ]

I guess so?

[shinra_dog]

Where ya being sent?

[Frowns, trying not to sound concerned, but he is.]

And... handled worse?

[equippedsmile]

themainframe or well I might be if she can finish the app on time. It sounds like a weird place and no one is gonna be there.

[ pauses and huffs. He might even be puffing out his chest a little. He doesn't want to seem uncool in front of Reno.]

It's not like it's something I can't handle.

[shinra_dog]

[He smiles. Denzel's act of confidence is kind of cute.]

I'm sure ya'll be fine. Yer a tough kid, y'know?

[equippedsmile]

Of course I'm a tough kid. No one is tougher!

[shinra_dog]

Got that right! Don't forget it, even if Cloud ain't there.

Besides, ya know they'll always be around here.

[equippedsmile]

Yeah I guess that's true... but it kinda doesn't feel the same when I'm being sent to a world far away from ours. It'll be weird not being anywhere near 7th heaven.

[shinra_dog]

[Smiles and resists the urge to ruffle the boy's hair. Too intimate? Too awkward? Maybe. Still, a soft pat to the shoulder might be okay...]

Not gonna lie, it always is weird bein' away from everywhere familiar. I've been sent out more'n once, still weird every time. But it gets easier over time.

[caringwarrior]

Handled worse? Where are you headed to? [CONCERNED MAMA FIGURE IS CONCERNED D:]

[equippedsmile]

Tifa! [ He might be just a little excited to see her. ]

[ Clears his throat and glances away ]

I mean... hey Tifa. And yeah I mean those beasts invading the city were pretty tough but we all made it through right?

[caringwarrior]

[She noticed that and actually smiled quite a bit, oh gosh ;w;. She missed him so much.]

Well...yes. But...you won't be alone will you? Is there anyone from our world there?

[equippedsmile]

[ he shakes his head. ]

At least my mun says no one I know is there.

[caringwarrior]

[Froooown. She furrows her eyebrows and then just sighs. She gently places one of her hands on his shoulder and bends down a bit to be on eye-level with him.]

You take care of yourself, ok? Make friends and ask for help when you need it. Don't try to take everything on by yourself.

[A soft smile.]

I'm sorry I can't go with you. But I'll be around here, ok?

[equippedsmile]

I know you can't come... [ he frowns and leans in closer to her. ]

And... I'll try to ask for help... when I need it.

[caringwarrior]

[And then Tifa's bringing him in for a hug, she holds him close and squeezes for just a moment. I hope you enjoy long hugs.]

I know you're a strong boy and you'll do just fine. If you ever need someone to talk to, I'll be here. Or well, I'll try to be around often. [She laughs a bit.] My mun is pretty bad at checking this place as often as she should.

[equippedsmile]

[ He doesn't mind the hugging, at least night right now. He leans into her hug and just listens. ]

It's just weird you know? I won't even be in the same world as you anymore if I go there.
