Hey, Aerith! I think you owe me a story about Wall Market, huh? It's way overdue, even. I hope you're not hiding it on purpose!

...Oh, and while you're- actually, nevermind. I still want that story, though! You promised!

[Serious business can wait until they meet in person, anyway. It's better that way.]

Never thought I'd be so happy to see a heat wave hit this place. I'm just glad to say goodbye to the rain. I've had enough of that to last a couple of months at the very least.

[Action-wise, Zack is out and about around the house during the day, relaxing and getting used to not cleaving things in two when startled. It's amazing how dramatically one's behaviour can change in war. Still, it's been long enough, and he's cool enough with his state of mind to get back to work. Thus, the next few days he'll be spending his evenings at Good Spirits, feeling - once again - right at home. Bother him at will, as usual.

And later that day...]

Hey, Shizuo! When the heck are you coming back to work? You've missed like three weeks worth of shifts already!

It's supposed to be unprofessional, I think. Not that it really matters in a place like this.

Oh, huh... I don't know. It's just a social thing, lots of people do it. Plus alcohol has more of a kick to it than most stuff you can eat or drink, so it's more fun.

...So, do you want something? I can whip you up something tasty in no time.

[.......................That............

....THE CUSTOMER IS NOT ALWAYS RIGHT, DUKE. But fine. Deflating a little, Zack turns, grabs a glass of water, and slides it over to Duke.

Next glass will totally be vodka whether he likes it or not.]

[It would totally, totally be worth it.]

So did you manage to get out of the draft safely even though you were... kinda not feeling great? [He doesn't even know what to call Duke's behaviour. "Schizophrenic" maybe.]

Well, I came out of it alive, and that's good enough for me! In a situation like that, I can't really ask for more. It sucks that we lost, though.

[What the hell is he supposed to do with it, pray over it until it becomes the holy water of Christ? :|]

Speaking of drafts, that reminds me. That sword of yours, does it have a name?

[Fancy dressed silver haired men always seem to give their swords sparkly name, right?]

[Man he's even less chatty than Sephiroth. But he knew it!] So what is it?

When is it ever? I'm just curious.

[Your stares don't work on me, girly man.] Does it mean anything? [What is it with fancy swords and fancy names eh.]

[Could... you get any more vague...]

Oooookay. Well, at least it's an interesting name. Apparently the guy who made mine couldn't come up with anything better than "the Buster".

Yeah, don't ask me why. My teacher's dad had it commissioned for him. It's a good sword, it's just... not exactly inspiring, name-wise.
