[Ahaha belated post is belated.]

Nice to see the sun again. Man, I thought I missed the mako before, but not being able to see a thing in the dark sucked. Good thing Seph could see or we'd have bumped into each other all week.

Hey Spike, how're you and the kids holding up? Do they miss me yet? ^_~ If you need me over there as a buffer or just some company, let me know. I'll probably come around to visit soon anyway. It's cool to hang out with Seph and all but he's not exactly good for conversation.

[Private to Cloud - unhackable]

How's the Geostigma? Were you able to find some help for it?

[/Private]

So from what I've heard, people are branching out a bit and planning some fun events. I think that's awesome! May as well kick back and tell the Malnosso to stuff it now and then. Anything less would be like cooperating, right?

Cloud, I'm not their dad, so I don't know. It's a choice you're going to have to make. What's best for them? Denzel knows Geostigma, so maybe he'd be alright, but Simon...

Then I'm asking you as my best friend and their godfather. I don't know if I'm going to be able to make those kinds of decisions then...so I need you to be my judgement for me.

[....Godfather? Wow, that was unexpected. Zack scuffs a hand under his nose to conceal a faint blush.]

I'll think about it. It wouldn't be easy, keeping them away from you. They both love you a lot, and they not you'd be with them if the roles were reversed.

Yeah, I know.

[Cloud notices the motion anyhow; nice try, Zack.]

Uh, that's all right, isn't it? Naming you godfather...

What? O-oh, er... it's fine, Cloud. It's... actually kind of cool. Like being a guardian or something.

[Zack lowered his hand, the blush still there, but coupled with a bit of a proud smile.]

Well, it would be a little stupid not to trust you with my kids.

Haha, that's true. I'd take 'em in myself if you weren't the pro at that.

I dunno Zack...I think you'd probably make a better father than I would. I'm kind of winging this whole deal.

[That one earns Cloud an annoyed glare.]

Don't you ever let me catch you saying that again. I'm probably too much of a kid myself to be a proper dad. You're doing a great job with them, Spike, so don't go doubting yourself on me.

Don't all fathers think that, though? That they're screwing up somewhere or another? I'm not saying I'm a bad dad...just that I could probably be a better one if I knew what I was doing half of the time.

Well, it seems like you're the local expert right now. I bet Senel will come to you for advice about being a father when his kid is born. It's a job you learn to do right the more you do it.

I do not know a damn thing about babies, Zack. I don't think I can help him.

Aww, well, that probably won't stop him. Besides, he may just ask for advice on how to be a good dad in the future.

I won't be useful to him until his kid reaches Simon's age, then.

...I don't know if I can handle the idea of being here for seven years, Zack.

... No... I'm not exactly cool with that, either. We still need to figure out how to escape without getting separated, though.

...I suppose it's about time I got over myself and talked to Sephiroth, then.

I can come along with you, if you want. Keep the peace and all.

...that would probably be a good idea.

[It's obvious that Cloud's a little disgruntled with the idea of talking to Sephiroth at all, the way he folds his arms and scowls at the wall.]

[Zack grins and pats his shoulder.]

He's not so bad when he's not crazy. You might learn something useful.

[Cloud snorts, still ~~pouting~~ being disgruntled.]

I guess so.

[Although...he did have to give the man credit, despite everything that happened. He hadn't killed Cloud when he had the chance, after he'd...after Zack had died.]

Heh, I know so. I live there, remember?

...then I'll do my best to be civil for you. But I'm probably liable to up and leave the room at any given moment, y'know.

I know, and I wouldn't stop you. Still, a good soldier does whatever he has to to meet his goals, right?

...I'm not a soldier, Zack.

[And Cloud stands up to go get himself a couple aspirin because all of a sudden he feels awkward.]

Can I get you anything?

You know what I meant.

[Zack sighs softly, leaning back in his seat.]

Naw, I'm alright. I've done too much thinking to be thirsty or anything.
