Hey everyone... sorry to the people I talked to last week. I know I must've been pretty confusing while I was sick, huh? But no worries, I'm all better now!

Cloud, Aerith, I know I already said it, but... thanks for taking care of me. And I'm sorry for worrying you.

How's everybody else? Newcomers, are you settling in alright? I know this place can be kind of disorienting at times, but give yourself some time and you'll be fine.

Oh hey, Faize, don't worry about giving back that materia, okay? I don't really need it anymore. Are you having fun with it?

[Messing with First Tsurugi like the obsessive little sword geek he is.] You leave it at home?

Depends on what I'm going out for. If there's no experiment going on and I'm just going for groceries, there's no point in taking it.

But we're sparring. You might need it. [Cloud's chest puffs a little and he says this with the air of "you'll definitely need it."]

No can do. I lent it to Faize, so I'll just have to kick your ass without it.

Good luck. [Inspection complete, and thankfully they're far enough from civilization to not do any damage if they get rowdy. What say they begin?]

[Raw raw fight the powah! Also: CHAAAARGE.]

[One epic sparring scene later, Cloud is out of breath and leaning with his hand against a tree.]

[Zack's not doing much better, flopping back to sit down with a sigh.] That... was one hell of a spar, man.

...it was all right. [Fff. Zack is a hell of a lot better than Cloud thought he was; did mako really make that much of a difference in strength?

...no. Zack just had the technical training one needed to utilize those strengths. For the first time, Cloud's struck by the realization that if they were still with Shinra...Zack would be his commanding officer. It's a strange, but familiar feeling.]

[There you go again, overanalyzing things, Cloud. Zack shrugs and pushes himself back to his feet, heading over to lean against the tree with Cloud.] Not bad for someone so out of practice, huh?

To be fair, I'm out of practice too, a little bit. [Cloud sinks down to sit instead, leaning his back against the tree and directing a puff of air towards his bangs to unstick them from his forehead.]

[Zack sinks his sword into the ground and leans over, hands braced on his knees to catch his breath.] Well, we won't have to worry about that happening again.

...this'll be a regular thing?

Why not? We both can use the practice, and I like sparring with you. This was fun.

I guess I didn't think about it. [Cloud taps First Tsurugi against the ground idly.] ...okay. That'd probably be a good idea anyhow.

Unless of course you'd rather fight with someone else.

Well, Stella and I were going to train in the morning. [She wanted to do strength training with him. Oh Holy she's so cute.]

You and Stella? [Wat.]

She wants to do strength training. [Ho snap, there's marks on his sword. Cloud scowls and starts to disassemble it to buff them out with his shirt as best he can.]

[Zack spots that and grins.] Aw, did I mark up the little baby?

[GLARE.] Yes.

If it helps any, the Buster isn't doing too well either. Angeal would have a fit if he saw it.

He seems the meticulous type. [...eh, that's the best he can do with just his shirt. Further repair will have to wait until he gets it home.]

...Zack?

Yeah?

[Cloud bows his head, tapping his fingers lightly against the flat of his blade.] ...I'm sorry. For hitting you.
