Zell had been expecting this because over the last couple of days the werecheetah had sniffed out and put away Seifer's smoke into the safe in his office. He knew Seifer would eventually run out of smokes and go looking for them. Zell was looking forward to it and dreading it at the same time. He was currently cooking a lot of bacon for them both along with eggs and hasbrowns. The works. He was hoping to sooth Seifer with food.
"...you won't be able to find any in the house, Seifer. I'm putting a restriction on them." Zell planned on giving Seifer a smoke for every time he listened which probably meant that Seifer would be quitting cold turkey.
