[Voice / Action] backdated a bit to the 13th. Action can be the 14th as well though.

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!

[Sob. Sob. Does she really have to call it that.]

You could order something else, if you're gonna be picky about it.

[tintobrat.livejournal.com]

Why should I have to pick something else? It's not my fault you keep messing up.

[Though she's already finished her glass off!] More please?

[wingenvy]

[Not his fault. She's probably doing it on purpose. He takes the glass dutifully, though, mixing her another drink- with less sugar this time. Ha, take that! He even learned from his mistake.]

So, anything exciting going on in the life of Lilly?

[tintobrat.livejournal.com]

Oh, you know, just the usual. I've been trapped in another world. Apparently I live with two princesses now, but you wouldn't know it by looking at them.

[Given they are such dedicated knights and all.]

[wingenvy]

Why, they're not worried about how they dress? [And how is that usual at all 8|a]

[tintobrat.livejournal.com]

It's less their manner of dress... they're both knights. More than that, they take it seriously. Even here, when it's pretty pointless.

[wingenvy]

...Princess Knights? [What a weird job. Aren't princesses supposed to sit in thrones and get married to rich guys and be kidnapped by dragons?]

[tintobrat.livejournal.com]

Exactly. Strange, isn't it? [It's what Lilly always assumed to! Not quite so limited, but still.]

[wingenvy]

No kidding! But hey, at least they're trying something new. Can't fault 'em for that, right?

[Even if it's less fun when they rescue themselves from the dragon.]

[tintobrat.livejournal.com]

I don't fault them for it. They're good enough company. It's just unusual, that's all.

[And frankly it's hard to act all spoiled and demanding when living with two princesses and she's only nobility.]

[wingenvy]

At least you've got company. It would be pretty boring to be stuck here living on your own.

[His housemates are a godsend these days.]

[tintobrat.livejournal.com]

There is that. They aren't from my world, though the three of them are from the same one.

[wingenvy]

I like living with people from different worlds. It makes things way more interesting.

[tintobrat.livejournal.com]

You do as well? What are they like?

[wingenvy]

'Complicated' is the best way to put it, I think. They're pretty serious people, so finding out about them is sometimes like picking teeth. It makes life with them interesting though, that's for sure.

[tintobrat.livejournal.com]

Mm, sounds like a real pain. How did you end up with them?

[wingenvy]

Not really a pain! It just gives me something to do. [Namely, try to get a smile out of them at all times.] Actually, the four of us used to live in the same apartment building, so we became friends because we were neighbours.

[tintobrat.livejournal.com]

That seems fortunate. I didn't exactly have the same sort of luck with the floor I lived in. I suppose we all kept to ourselves.

[wingenvy]

Some neighbours are just like that. Gotta admit, I have Aerith to thank for it- she became friends with Lightning first, and we just ended up clicking because of a few things that happened.

[Spending a week in little!Light's body was probably not a good first impression, but. Well.]

[tintobrat.livejournal.com]

That sounds... nice. {So what sort of person is this Lightning anyway?] I don't think I've ever met him.

[wingenvy]

"Her", actually. She's a tough lady, but real nice if you manage to get on her good side. Maybe I can introduce you sometime.

[tintobrat.livejournal.com]

[... her.]

Do you make it a habit of just finding women to live with?

[wingenvy]

Is there something wrong with surrounding myself with ladies who enjoy my company?

[He just can't help himself when people make it so easy.]

[tintobrat.livejournal.com]

Some might argue there is. I hope they aren't all your ex-girlfriends or anything.

[... or current ones. Well, okay, that'd probably be more decent.]

[wingenvy]

...Do girlfriends from experiments count?

[Because in that case they are all. Sort of. Ex-girlfriends.]
