[Voice / Action]

Passed it again, huh. I keep losing track... wonder if it's a good thing.

....

Hey, so... does anybody have a particular day - or more than one, I guess - that means something to them? Not their birthday or a holiday or anything like that, I mean a regular, normal day where something important or significant happened to them. Could be good or bad, whatever.

[Zack's in a weird mood today, for... various reasons. He's also lounging in the hammock outside House 50, enjoying it while he can before the cold weather forces him to take it down, so if you happen to be in the area, feel free to bother him that way instead.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Is he fussy? Is he? Because he's peering -smirking- at you over the edge of the hammock, Zack. Whatcha gonna do about it, huh?]

[.....Oi.

Lift his legs and give the bottom of the hammock a good shove with both feet, that's what.]

[FLAIL- flop.

...yeah, it's on. TACKLING NOW.]

[CHAAAAAAAAARGE. You're going down, Spike! 8|]

[One of these days Cloud will locate a professional wrestler who will give him tips on how to take down a guy with over half a foot on his height and about twenty pounds on his weight. Until that day, Cloud will be the underdog in these wrestling matches.

...but hey, he makes up for it in nerve and stubbornness, right?]

[He could always find someone to teach him hand-to-hand combat so the whole formal-training doesn't completely own him. |D If Zack didn't respect him so much he'd let Cloud actually win now and then.]

[Whatever. Cloud just lays and directs a huff of air at his bangs, scowling. He knows when he's beat but he's not going to SAY it.

...he would totally win a real spar by now, anyway.]

[Uh-huh, sure. Until then, someone's got you pinned, and he's grinning like he just won in a chocobo race against Teioh Joe.]

I thought you liked being on top.

[RED, still scowling indignantly.] Laugh while you can. I'll do it someday.

[So Zack does laugh, but he ruffles Cloud's hair and rolls off, panting slightly in the grass.] That was really good, though.

Whatever. [Don't patronize me Fair, FAILURE IS EMPTY AND CRUSHING. ...not that he's really emoing over this, but it's complete success or bust in Cloud's book.]

[lololol

Okay enough of that. He glances sidelong at Cloud, lifting a brow curiously.] Do you wanna learn?

[Blink. Cloud contemplates this before returning the glance.] Not from you.

...Okaaay.

Hey. [Cloud reaches over and taps Zack's chest with a fist. Chin up, bro.] It's not you. It's a...pride thing.

You take this manly pride thing way too seriously sometimes, Spike. [He totally just wants to play Angeal for someone someday.]

I have to. [You can't, Zack. You don't have the sarcastic wit OR the beard, it's just not possible. :| Besides, you didn't know about dumbapples, come on.]

Why? [DAMMIT DON'T REMIND HIM OF THE DUMBAPPLES, THEY ARE A NEVER-ENDING SOURCE OF FRUSTRATION FOR HIM.]

Because sometimes it's all I have. [Eh, happy mood broken, but Cloud just pushes himself to his feet with a light groan, dusting himself off.]

[...Wow, that is pretty emo, Spike.] You're an idiot if you really believe that.

[Cloud sighs, extending a hand for Zack to take if he wants to.] I'm not getting into the particulars of it with you, Zack.

[For once Zack doesn't take it, doing that fancy rollback jump he likes so much to get back to his feet.] 'Course not.

[Burn, man. Cloud frowns, but locates the mug he brought out for Zack's coffee and picks it up, intent on bringing it inside.] Fine. I'm heading back inside.

[....Sigh. Zack scratches the back of his head, sheepish.] Sorry- I'm sorry. It's okay if you don't want to talk about it.

[Cloud dumps the remains of the cold coffee into a patch of grass. Grow, grass. Grow and be energetic. His response is slow though, as if he's being careful to choose his words correctly.] ...When I said that, I didn't mean...that I was alone or anything. But even if you have people that support you, that doesn't always...

... [SIGH.] It doesn't substitute self-worth, all the time. Sometimes you just have to...be proud of yourself, for yourself. You know?
