"I hear bats are a good substitute," Cloud said to Zack with what might seem to be a flat face but it was clear in his voice and form that he meant it in jest. Anyway, it was true, bats were good substitutes for a gigantic kitchen knife. Provided that they had nails, of course...
They talked the rest of their food out and as neither had any pressing schedule (Cloud realized he didn't want to face the horrible situation in the office yet), Cloud decided that it was time to get Zack a couple of clothes "that didn't stink" among others. Macy's was the closest place to the pizza house -- and that was where he took them.
"Don't be shy," he said to Zack, "You're probably sick of wearing holes by now." Again, in jest.
