His heart leaped on seeing them; it had been a long time.

Too long.

Kunsel waved and called out to them. “Zack! Angeal!”

The two dark-haired figures turned and saw him; grinning widely, they broke into a run.

His old burdens weren’t welcome here. He dropped them by the trail, divesting himself of the last tokens of his service.

Kunsel dropped to his knees to absorb the impact as two determined children slammed into him. With a glance up at their mother, he said, “Boys, now that I’m really home, how about I tell you where your names came from?”

There is a reason Cloud is so grumpy, Avalanche has been stranded yet again. Left by the side of the road with only their winning 40 points. SOLDIER can relate slightly. Genesis was stranded once, but on purpose (Loveless, you know...) for 10 points. Even Reno earned the Turks 10 points for all the times he's been cut loose.

This week's prompt is #98 - Kunsel

That's right, it's Kunsel week!

Who is this mysterious individual who Zack calls a friend? How does he know all that information on SOLDIER? How did he and Zack meet and become friends? Is he a shady character who deals in the sale of information and porn? What is his life ambition?

Drabbles can be from Kunsel's point of view or just about him from afar, but they must include Kunsel somewhere in just 100 words.
