Zack: *okay, he was going to be feeling this for a while. Still, went to report to Seph. Achy. Still, not bad.*

Sephiroth: ::looks up on hearing the door open and frowns slightly as he catches sight of the stiff way the man was moving.::

Zack: Hey there. *does even hesitate to move for the chair. Ooh, chair. Sinks down in it happily*

Sephiroth: ::watches him with a critical eye:: what did you do?

Zack: Fell through the Plate. *wry grin* We need to work on the fact people are shit at giving details in complaints.

Sephiroth: ::pauses:: What happened?

Zack: Remember that mission about the electronics being destroyed in the some the stations on the edge of the Plate?

Sephiroth: ::inclines his head a fraction, still eyeing him intently.::

Zack: Seems they forgot to mention things that pop up from shadows. -Big- things that pop up from shadows. *he stretched, feeling something in his back finally relax, and sighed. Ooh, better.*

Sephiroth: ...So you did what? Jumped into one headfirst?

Zack: *frowns at him* You're in a mood.

Sephiroth: Obviously. How did you get injured like that? Did you stand still and let it hit you?

Zack: I'm a lot better that I bet I was originally. It took out the plate floor from under us.

Sephiroth: ::pauses:: Excuse me?

Zack: I'm surprised you haven't heard about it already. Since I'm pretty sure it probably set off alarms.

Sephiroth: ::scowls then:: those were you?

Zack: I didn't do it on purpose. It took out the grating we were on, and there wasn't any time to react. *made a whistling sound and gestured downwards*

Sephiroth: I see. Have you been to medical?

Zack: I'm mostly just achy. I think Aeris healed me up before I woke up.

Sephiroth: ::blinks slowly as he registers that name:: ...Aeris?

Zack: *nods* I apparently fell through her roof and landed on her flowers. And I didn't feel half bad, so I figured she must have healed me up.

Sephiroth: ::face turns a bit expression less:: Did she now?

Zack: I guess. I mean, I figured falling like that would hurt a lot more otherwise.... *wait a second, what was Seph feeling pissy about -now-?*

Sephiroth: ::inclines his head slightly.:: And you just trusted this girl did this?

Zack: She's pretty nice. Kinda protective over her flowers.... *frowns at him some* What's wrong with you?

Sephiroth: Nothing is wrong with me ::arches an eyebrow at him:: Just how long did you stay there?

Zack: Couple of hours, I think. She grows flowers down there. I didn't think you could do that in the slums.

Sephiroth: You can't, typically. ::stares at him intently.:: What did this girl look like?

Zack: *is a bit unsure about the sudden intent look* She's a little over five foot tall, got long brown hair, and really nice green eyes. Looks like she's about my age."

Sephiroth: ::frowns at him slightly:: I see

Zack: What? *is confused at the frown*

Sephiroth: ::eyes him critically::

Zack: What? *asks again*

Sephiroth: ::finally sighs, still frowning.:: What kept you for two hours?

Zack: She was nice to talk to. And she did sort of help me.

Sephiroth: ::nods faintly:: So you lingered

Zack: Well....yeah. She was interesting. That, and I didn't feel like trying to fight the crowd at the station.

Sephiroth: ::snorts and relaxes minutely:: So it wasn't her who delayed you

Zack: *just blinks at him. What the hell?* She was showing me around. I've never been in that sector before.

Sephiroth: ::frowns at him:: Well, now you have. you have no need to be back there now yes?

Zack: I promised I'd help build a flower cart for her, though.

Sephiroth: .... ::stares at the man very hard, voice lower.:: You did.

Zack: *frowns more* Should I go or something?

Sephiroth: No. So you're going to be back down there again.

Zack: Yeah. Is there a regulation saying I can't or something?

Sephiroth: No. ::continues to give him that look.::

Zack: What did I do wrong now? *huffs it, frowning at Seph*

Sephiroth: ::scowls:: -You- did nothing wrong.

Zack: *confused* What?

Sephiroth: ::draws a deep breath:: Nothing Zack, it's of no concern, but you will let me know before you go there again.

Zack: *frowns at him* All...right? *has not idea what just happened here.*

Sephiroth: Good ::nods decisively:: Don't forget

Zack: I'm supposed to go down tomorrow....

Sephiroth: What time?

Zack: Around lunch. I didn't have any missions. *still highly confused at what had just happened.*

Sephiroth: I see. Come here first.

Zack: Um...okay? *pauses* Wait, did I just get an escort?

Sephiroth: ::doesn't answer, just looks at him::

Zack: Seriously, what is up?

Sephiroth: What makes you think anything is?

Zack: You just invited yourself along with me to met a girl. You barely deal with people you don't have to, and you're offering this time? *gives him a disbelieving look*

Sephiroth: .... Come here tomorrow before you go.

Zack: *he snorted*

Sephiroth: ::eyes him:: yes?

Zack: You are going to have to explain someday.

Sephiroth: I don't feel it needs explaining

Zack: You are just being confusing to be confusing, aren't you? *huffs*

Sephiroth: No. It makes perfect sense to me.

Zack: *rolls his eyes, and just goes with it* So, yeah, you can help me build it.

Sephiroth: I suppose

Zack: Well, if you are going to invite yourself along?

Sephiroth: ::aggrieved sigh::

Zack: *smirks at him*

Sephiroth: Go check out with medical

Zack: *smirks again* I will. *stands and stretches again* Bring a hammer tomorrow.

Sephiroth: I don't own a hammer.

Zack: *snickers at him, and heads for the door.*

Sephiroth: ::glares after him::

Zack: *continues to snicker, even as he waved goodbye to Seph, and headed for medical, limping a bit as he did.*

Sephiroth: ::scowls after him and turns back to his papers::

Zack: *chuckling, heads to get checked out. Just to make sure. Still, didn't think Aeris would have done anything to him besides heal him.*

-o-o-o-o-o-o-

Sephiroth: ::quickly made sure that everything that crossed his desk was dealt with as soon as it reached him::

Zack: *grinning, swung by Seph's office, holding a bag. With a half-hearted knock, he let himself in* Hey.

Sephiroth: ::glances up, setting his things aside.:: Zack

Zack: You ready? *there was something in his tone that hinted at amusement*

Sephiroth: ::pushes to his feet with a put upon sigh:: You're certain you feel the need to go?

Zack: *frowns* Yeah. You don't have to if you don't want to. I mean, you wanted to yesterday, but....

Sephiroth: Then we're going. ::circles around over to him.::

Zack: *nods* I got this for you. *offers him the bag*

Sephiroth: ::just arches an eyebrow and looks at the bag::

Zack: *grin widens as he waited for Seph to react to the hammer that was in there. Though it might not have been wise to give him a weapon*

Sephiroth: ::finally sighs and takes the bag with delicate distaste::

Zack: *just quirks a brow* Keep this up, and I'll just leave you here.

Sephiroth: I'm coming ::his tone didn't brook argument::

Zack: Then don't act like I'm dragging you someplace nasty when you're the one who wants to go. *a stern look. He'd never been one to put up with Seph's shit*

Sephiroth: ::just narrows his eyes at him and gestures pointedly at the door:: Shall we?

Zack: *snorts, and just heads for the elevators*

Sephiroth: ::follows on his heels, studying him as they walked.::

Zack: So, are you going to be Mr. Scowly Face the entire time we're down there?

Sephiroth: Why should I be?

Zack: I don't know? You've been doing a pretty good imitation of it so far.

Sephiroth: ::just arches an eyebrow:: I have not

Zack: *snorts at him in that very familiar "I call bullshit" snort he used around Seph. A -lot- around Seph*

Sephiroth: If I had I would hardly be following you.

Zack: Please. You could stalk me and still scowl. Hell, that's how we spent the first few days we really interacted.

Sephiroth: The first few days we interacted I was concussed

Zack: So? You scowl at me lots now. *dry tone, stepping into the elevator as it opened* Only my sheer stubborn wills keeps me around some days, given some of the looks I get.

Sephiroth: I do not give you that many dirty looks.

Zack: *just quirks a brow at him*

Sephiroth: ::scowls back::

Zack: See?

Sephiroth: ::huffs and looks away::

Zack: *sighs* See what I mean? You've been scowling at me every time you've seen me in the last day. Are you that mad I got knocked down Plate?

Sephiroth: No

Zack: Then why are you so mad?

Sephiroth: I am not angry.

Zack: Could have fooled me. *mutters it, leaning back against the elevator as it moved slooooowly down, looking at the floor, fingers lacing behind his head*

Sephiroth: ::just turns and scowls out the glass::

Zack: *wonderful. More scowling*

Sephiroth: I'm not angry at you.

Zack: Then what are you angry at?

Sephiroth: ::growls softly:: It's not a... Don't be concerned.

Zack: *just gives him a confused, and possibly slightly hurt look*

Sephiroth: ::lets out a rough breath and turns to face him.:: You have no cause for worry

Zack: Want to talk about it?

Sephiroth: ::studies him, then shakes his head once, briskly:: It will pass

Zack: You worry me when you say things like that.

Sephiroth: Do I?

Zack: I don't like the idea of you holding stuff like that in. Makes you grumpy. *going for a tease, but he did worry about Seph a lot*

Sephiroth: ::just sighs:: I suppose.

Zack: *shifts, bumping his shoulder against Seph's*

Sephiroth: ::arches an eyebrow::

Zack: Cheer up. You'll like Aeris. She's nice.

Sephiroth: ::just stares at him for a long moment:: Hm

Zack: She's got eyes like yours, you know. Not the exact same shade, but just really nice green eyes.

Sephiroth: ::goes rather quiet and just looks at him::

Zack: *looks back at him*

Sephiroth: Spent a lot of time staring into her eyes? ::arches an eyebrow::

Zack: I like green eyes.

Sephiroth: ::hums and gives him a considering look::

Zack: What?

Sephiroth: Nothing. ::He waved a hand.::

Zack: Seeeeeph~

Sephiroth: ::arches an eyebrow:: yes?

Zack: Why were you looking at me like that~?

Sephiroth: Just thinking

Zack: About?

Sephiroth: Things

Zack: *gives him a long, long look, only breaking off when the elevator opened again. Stepping out, he headed for the stairs down to the lobby.* So, what didn't you like about your last vacation?

Sephiroth: ::follows him, arching an eyebrow at the topic change:: It was acceptable

Zack: You kept making "ew, icky" faces at -everything-, Seph. What didn't you like? Honestly.

Sephiroth: It was very... unclean there

Zack: All right. *made a mental note, heading outside and for the train to head under the plate*

Sephiroth: ::arches a eyebrow but says nothing more::

Zack: *just gives him a grin, and hops onto the train*

Sephiroth: ::shakes his head and follows, staying close and eyeing off anyone standing too near them::

Zack: Seph, stop looking scary.

Sephiroth: Zack, they might get in arms reach if not given proper motivation not to.

Zack: Seph, it's a train. People get closer than arms reach.

Sephiroth: Not to me.

Zack: I do.

Sephiroth: You are not a 'people'

Zack: No, I'm a me. And I'll prank your room if you don't calm down.

Sephiroth: I am calm ::frowns at him::

Zack: Scowling at everyone who comes within ten foot of you isn't calm.

Sephiroth: Yes it is

Zack: *rolls his eyes* Someday, we're going to get you to really relax, and then you'll explode.

Sephiroth: ::gives him a slightly offended look:: I would not

Zack: *just quirks a brow, ignoring the person who sat down next to him.*

Sephiroth: ::gives the person a narrow eyed look::

Zack: Seph. *semi-sharp tone*

Sephiroth: ::looks to Zack and bristles, but says nothing::

Zack: *reaches out, and gives a bit of a yank on long hair* Chill.

Sephiroth: I -am- 'chilled'

Zack: *rolls eyes, lets go, leans back, and focuses on looking out the window. Fine. If Seph was going to be like this, he was going to ignore him.*

Sephiroth: ::proceeds to eye off people until their stop::

Zack: *gets up and walks off the train, not even saying a word to Seph*

Sephiroth: ::stays near him, eyeing their surroundings::

Zack: *perks up some as they got closer to the church* Look, there's the hole I made.

Sephiroth: ....Please tell me you're not proud of that

Zack: In a twisted way, I am.

Sephiroth: .... well stop

Zack: I still got to come fix it.

Sephiroth: You'll let me know about that as well

Zack: Not if you are going to act like this.

Sephiroth: ::narrows his eyes:: If you don't tell me then my acting like this is nothing in comparison to how I would be acting

Zack: *just quirks a brow*

Sephiroth: It's for your own good ::crosses his arms::

Zack: *just starts walking again, not responding to that.*

Sephiroth: ::follows him at once, staying close::

Zack: I'm not kidding, by the way, Seph. Play nice. Or at least as nice as you can be.

Sephiroth: I'm not going to attack her Zack.

Zack: *makes a scoffing sound, and just goes to knock on the door of the church before sticking his head in.* Hello?

Aeris: ::waves from the grass:: Come in! ::looks over::

Zack: *brightens* Hi. I brought a stalker. Ignore him, he's being huffy. *goes to walk up to her*

Aeris: ::makes an amused noise then looks to the man who was following him.... and glaring at her:: I see

Zack: *glances back at Seph, with a firm "behave" look, then back to Aeris* So, I've come to be your slave around here in payment for breaking your roof.

Aeris; ::gives him a bright smile:: That's so sweet of you! Go move those things for me then ::points off to some bags of dirt;;

Sephiroth: ::has no intention of touching bags of dirt and moves to lean on a pew.

Zack: *smiles brightly back at her* Seph, this is Aeris, Aeris, Seph. Aka, Mr Scowly Face.

Aeris: *giggles at that*

Sephiroth: My name is Seph-iroth-. Thank you.

Zack: He's being grumpy today. I think I pissed him off, but he won't tell me for sure. *moves to pick up the bags*

Sephiroth: ::looks after Zack, then looks back to the girl, eyeing her up and down:: Aeris. Do you have a last name?"

Zack: *perks up at that one, curious as well.*

Aeris: I go by my adopted mother's name. Gainsbourogh.

: Sephiroth: ::nods slightly and looks over at Zack::

Zack: Long name. Where would you like these? *is showing off a bit, but she was cute*

Aeris: ::points over near her flowers:: there would be great, I can never get those things around the room without a lot of dragging ::smiles at him::

Sephiroth: ::narrows his eyes at her, voice very low:: Kindly don't expect to keep him.

Zack: *doesn't know what was being said, but knows there is something. Just takes the bags where he was pointed.*

Aeris: *blinks at him for a moment, then her eyes widened.* Oh. Ooooh. I'm sorry. I didn't know you two.... *a wave of her hand*

Sephiroth: ::hums and nods once:: Glad to see you understand.

Zack: *looks at them again* Us two what? *confused*

Aeris: *frowns at Sephiroth* But...he didn't say anything.

Sephiroth: I'm aware of that ::is somewhat aggrieved by that too::

Zack: What are you two talking about?

Aeris: ::looks to Zack and smiles a little:: you silly

Zack: Why?

Aeris: ::blinks:: Because I didn't know you had a boyfriend.

Zack: *stalls* I have a what?

Aeris: ::gestures between the two boys::

Zack: *blank look at her* Huh?

Sephiroth: ::resist the urge to pinch the bridge of his nose:: Zack.

Zack: Yeah?

Sephiroth: I believe she's referring to us.

Zack: Seph?

Sephiroth: ::arches an eyebrow::

Zack: When did this happen? This whole boyfriend thing? *still sounds a bit confused*

Sephiroth: ::rests a hand on his shoulder then turns his attention towards the surroundings, calmer since she seemed to not be of the mind to infringe.::

Zack: Seph! *frowns at him*

Sephiroth: Yes Zack?

Zack: Boyfriend thing, Seph?

Sephiroth: ::sighs and looks at him:: What are you expecting me to say Zack?

Zack: *blinks* Is this why you were mad at me?

Sephiroth: ::merely arches an eyebrow and moves over to inspect the flowers planted around.::

Aeris: ::looking from one to the other:: Did I say something wrong?

Zack: *frowns at Seph* No. Just someone is trying to make me unhappy at the moment. *sighs, and just goes back to where Aeris was* So, what else do you need moved?

Aeris: ::looks from one to the other and sighs before smiling at Zack and going over to direct him where to pour things out.::

Zack: *is ignoring Seph. If he wasn't important enough to actually answer, then he could give the silent treatment right back.*

Sephiroth: ::watches them, looking for a task that's acceptable, though keeps gravitating back to the flowers.::

Zack: *continues to work as long as she wanted him too, not saying a thing to Seph, not even looking his direction*

Sephiroth: ::is patient, and aware of the girl's looks, but he was no longer concerned about her, so doesn't do anything he would see as rude or mean.::

Zack: *notices the time, and sighed.* I'll have to come back later. It's getting on in the day.

Aeris: ::gives him a wry smile:: I should go home before my mom worries ::looks sideways at the silver haired man:: He was just worried about me and you you know. ::looks back to him and pokes him in the nose:: Maybe you can convince him later it's nothing to be scared of.

Zack: Not if he won't even talk to me. *just shakes his head* Never bothers to tell me anything important. *low, low murmur.* I'll be back soon. Still got to fix your roof.

Aeris: ::gives him a smile and nods:: I'll see you soon ::determinedly marches over to the silver haired man to give him a similar talk, if not the same::

Zack: *just shakes his head, and walks away. He was tired of being dismissed.*

Sephiroth: ::quickly catches up to the man:: She's very determined.

Zack: *is silent. Continues to walk*

Sephiroth: I wasn't rude, why are you upset?

Zack: *continues on, back tense. He was tired of this*

Sephiroth: ::presses his lips together:: Did that matter bother you that badly?

Zack: *snorts* You know what bothers me, Seph? The fact you never -fucking- talk to me about things like this. You just dismiss anything I have to say and go do what you want. *continues to stalk towards the train station*

Sephiroth: ::slow blink:: I didn't dismiss you.

Zack: *a sigh, and Zack stopped, sagging*

Sephiroth: ::stops beside him, a small confused frown on his face.::

Zack: When did you decide we were dating, Seph? *quiet voice* I just.... Being told would have been nice.

Sephiroth: It was your idea

Zack: *has a very lost look on his face*

Sephiroth: ::presses his lips together and turns slightly so he wasn't facing him directly.::

Zack: Seph...are you interested in me? *looking at him intently*

Sephiroth: You were already aware of that.

Zack: Not really. There was the word boyfriend, and I asked, but you -never- one way or another. Never.

Sephiroth: I thought the answer clear enough.

Zack: If it was, do you think I would have asked?

Sephiroth: Perhaps so.

Zack: *droops more* I asked because I didn't know, Seph. You never said.

Sephiroth: I thought I'd been clear before.

Zack: No, you hadn't. *runs a hand through his hair*

Sephiroth: How much clearer could I have been Zack?

Zack: "Zack, I'm interested in you. I like you. Anything like that."

Sephiroth: ::gives him a blank look:: that was implied

Zack: No, Seph. I need it to be clear. Because stuff like this is important enough. *a deep breath* Besides, I don't even know if you take me seriously half the time.

Sephiroth: Zack, if I didn't take you seriously I wouldn't listen to you at all

Zack: *a steady look* We're not having this talk here. And we need to talk.

Sephiroth: ::flicks his wrist ahead:: Then walk

Zack: *starts again, silent once more*

Sephiroth: ::says nothing, merely moving after him::

Zack: *Zack walked quietly, turning things over in his mind. Seemed like the return home was taking forever*

Sephiroth: ::seeing no cause to interrupt, he just stayed quiet himself.::

Zack: *simply leads the way back to the tower* Where to here?

Sephiroth: You wanted to talk, where at?

Zack: Someplace we can sit.

Sephiroth: Then lets find one of those

Zack: *gestures ahead* Where do you think is safe? You know where there are listening devices better than anyone.

Sephiroth: ::pauses, then heads off:: I can think of somewhere

Zack: *this time, he followed*

Sephiroth: ::heads off for an area where he was sure was unmonitored, but not... anyone's rooms.::

Zack: *looks around, and then sits down* Okay. So...there.... *a deep breath* You like me, yes? And don't just look at me like I'm missing half my brain, Seph. I just want to make sure this is all straight.

Sephiroth: ::sits, or rather perches, and inclines his head::

Zack: Words, Seph. We need words.

Sephiroth: Yes

Zack: *runs a hand through his hair* Really? *isn't sure how he feels about that, but is pretty sure he's pleased. Because he -liked- Seph. Just never thought about him that way, because Seph treated him like he couldn't think half the time.*

Sephiroth: I have said as much.

Zack: I just...it was a surprise. It's not bad. Just..a surprise.

Sephiroth: ::presses his lips together and says nothing::

Zack: Seph, don't be quiet. Not right now.

Sephiroth: I don’t have anything to say

Zack: So, boyfriend, hmm? When did this get decided?

Sephiroth: It's been weeks now.

Zack: *just shakes his head* Who else knows?

Sephiroth: ::confused blink:: Anyone who was paying attention I imagine. I was already favoring you before that.

Zack: *pauses* Fuck. I owe Hayes ten gil.

Sephiroth: ::slowly arches an eyebrow:: ....for?

Zack: He said you were interested, but I didn't think he was -serious-. Most people don't consider food stealing a sign of affection. *a pause, and he looked at Seph* That was a sign of affection, right?

Sephiroth: You are the only one I have ever done such to

Zack: So that's a yes. *shakes his head* You got to remember, I only met you in the crash. I don't know all your quirks from before that.

Sephiroth: I doubt you haven't been told

Zack: Most people raze me about it, but I didn't think they were serious. I mean, they're the same ones who..... *he trailed off* So, now what?

Sephiroth: ::blinks at him:: what what?

Zack: Where do we go from here? Travel on as we've always have, or something else?

Sephiroth: I don't know what you mean

Zack: .... So the former. *nods* Okay. Hey, Seph?

Sephiroth: ::inclines his head and looks at him in question.::

Zack: Tell me next time something important like this comes up again, okay?

Sephiroth: ::inclines his head slightly:: I did think you knew.

Zack: Just..make sure next time.

Sephiroth: ::nods, watching him::

Zack: *runs a hand through his hair again, then gave Seph a slow, slow grin* Does that mean you were jealous of Aeris?

Sephiroth: ::crosses his arms:: I do not get jealous

Zack: *snorts* So the stalking huffing thing was just you being friendly?

Sephiroth: ..... I suppose.

Zack: *just gives him a look* Right. So, jealous is kind of cute. *he could adjust to this, though it did just encourage his flirting habit when it came to Seph*

Sephiroth: ::eyes him:: I know I was annoying you

Zack: Only cause I didn't understand why you were mad at me for talking to a girl.

Sephiroth: and you're not annoyed now

Zack: Because now I get it. And instead of trying to figure out what I had done wrong to get you all huffy-pissed at me, I know it's not so much me, as other people being near me.

Sephiroth: ::gives him an incredulous look that he was suddenly just fine again:

Zack: Hey, if you are allowed to declare me boyfriend and not tell me, I can tease you over being jealous.

Sephiroth: ::huffs at that::

Zack: *smirks at him*

Sephiroth: ::frowns back::

Zack: Yes?

Sephiroth: I wasn't

Zack: You were.

Sephiroth: ::huffs again::

Zack: So does this mean you don't mind if I go down there alone, hmm?

Sephiroth: .... I didn't say that

Zack: *chuckles*

Sephiroth: ::just scowls slightly:: don't laugh at me

Zack: I'm not. Well, mostly not. It's just...cute. *he studied Seph*

Sephiroth: I am not cute.

Zack: No, you are not cute. The reaction is cute. You are...highly attractive.

Sephiroth: ::not sure how to feel about the comment:: I suppose that's better

Zack: So, yeah, you -were- jealous. Otherwise you wouldn't worry about me and Aeris. *he went back to studying Seph's face*

Sephiroth: You were excited.

Zack: I like meeting new people. *Zack grinned* Hey, Seph?

Sephiroth: Yes? ::he looked at him sideways::

Zack: You have pretty eyes, too.

Sephiroth: ::looks to the side for a moment.:: Then thank you

Zack: You are most welcome.

Sephiroth: ::just nods::

Zack: *stands up and moves closer to Seph, watching his reaction carefully*

Sephiroth: ::shifts slightly in place so he was watching him again.::

Zack: *reaches out with a careful hand, he watched Seph's face, and brushed his fingers along the pale hair.*

Sephiroth: ::goes tense, but doesn't move::

Zack: *sees that, and lets his hand drop*

Sephiroth: ::follows his hand with his eyes::

Zack: Now I have even more reasons to get you fish.

Sephiroth: ::one eyebrow arched, then his lips quirked.:: I won't argue that.

Zack: Course not. You get presents.

Sephiroth: ::brushes his hands over his legs in an absent, prim movement:: You already did that

Zack: I know. Now I have more reasons. Since apparently we've started dating. *dry tone there*

Sephiroth: ::inclines his head and rises to his feet:: Now come, you need to shower

Zack: *blinks* Bwah?

Sephiroth: You've been playing with dirt all day Zack, you're filthy. ::makes a shooing motion towards the door:: So you need to be washed

Zack: *rolls his eyes, but does leave, heading for his rooms*

Sephiroth: ::follows him to make sure he gets there, then finally seems satisfied:: I'll be in my rooms

Zack: Okay....

Sephiroth: ::smiles slightly, then turns to head away to them to give the man time to wash::

Zack: See you tomorrow. Try not to scowl at too many people. *was striping down to shower already*

Sephiroth: ::pauses on hearing that and frowns, then just sighs before stepping out and closing the door behind him. Hmph.::

Zack: *after hearing him leave, Zack started to thump his head on the wall. Now what?*
