//I will be here soon…sorry for lateness. Tried helping friends set up an SL for another verse we were in, and I’ve had nothing but 11-13 hour shifts until tomorrow! Re-release of FFVII on Steam has got me hyped, so I’m replaying it whenever I get a chance to and return. Gomen… orz

Cloud casts his own few glances her way, though they last for a second at most. They’re clearly on par with one another, so it’s impassible to tell who has the lead, if either even do. Regardless he keeps at it, not one swing goes wasted—nor a single step.

“Cant these shenanigans wait until tomorrow? It’s too early.”

“Good luck.” As soon as Tamara designates herself the right half, he’s surging towards the left monsters. Striking one down with just a swing each time. It almost seems effortless, but he’s locked in this time.

“Evil lurks everywhere.”

Cloud stifles a chuckle, pointing off to the last area. “Last one, guess we’ll see which one of us is all bark and no bite.”

“This place isn’t big enough for more than one merc, even if he’s some "radiant legend".”

“Because you don’t have enough? Funny.” The merc scoffs, casually, then sheathes the giant blade on his back. “Winner takes all next one, then.”

“Just don’t let it last all day. There’s more important things.”

💦

“Happy 50th birthday, Cloud Strife.”

It's January 31 in Japan. 29 years ago today, Final Fantasy VII launched for PlayStation.

Sigh. Do we really have the time?

“Yeah…!” Cloud does the same, not one swing of the blade or any movement to dart around goes wasted. Unfortunately, there is one more that’s split from the group and it’s getting away fast. “…Shit.” An out of his way cast of a fireball extinguishes the enemy’s life.

I thought this was going to be a bad thing, but… Sure.

“…It’s fine.” A hand combs through his own hair, as if that was a necessary fix. “A friend, I hope?”

“Got it.” Warm-up is done, now he’s quick to charge forth, knocking one down with the side of his sword. The surrounding ones are less fortunate, being cut down like paper. Now the initial one meets its maker.

The pat makes him step back a couple of steps. Lots of people believe a similar thought. “…Need something?”

The quick boop takes him aback, blinking. A slight shade of pink spans his face, which he does his best to cover with a hand. “Best of three, yeah…” As soon as she’s gone he sighs and races after just a mere moment late. “Got it, coming.”

within reason.

“True.” Cloud watches as Tamara dispatches the last, fleeing adversary in the area. It’s only met with a nod. All of their targets dealt with means a triumphant success. “I guess so.” Cloud shrugs, almost allowing a cocky grin to form. “…But, there may be other spots we haven’t checked yet. +

Cloud has a few stragglers, one is dealt with a dork of lightning. The final one is met with a two-handed swing after a flashy spin of the merc. “Not bad—faster than I thought.”

“Sure.” A simple response as he takes a step, slashing through a monster, and a few more steps with a slash to follow each one—felling a mister each time. “You don’t have to worry about my coin. …Not bad, by the way.”

Tamara’s swift shift into action does make him smile, the grin almost makes Cloud chuckle, but he catches it and stays stoic as usual. “Hope you’ve got enough for it.” A leap forward and he’s quickly sent some of his half of the monsters flailing in the air, and picks them off one-by-one.

“I’m not that worried, just stay focused.” As soon as monsters are in sight he’s got the Buster Sword drawn, and sizing them up. “You take the left, and I’ll focus on the right.”

The bump has him staring for a moment, before awkwardly nodding. “Better keep up.” It’s a semi-casual tone, progress from his formerly stoic, raspy, voice. He’s swiftly walking to the town’s gate, anticipating the first spot to check for monsters just around the corner.

“Therapy? Talk is cheap.”

“Guess you’re right.” Cloud looks around, thinking where the best area to survey first would be. “Guess we’ll be busy for a bit. Wanna take the lead, or should I?”

Cloud waits patiently. Like he said, it’s just the start of the day so no need to rush productivity yet. Once Tamara returns he gives her a nod, adjusting the Buster Sword on his back, and strolls out into the streets. “Any job you feel like tackling?”

Cloud simply nodded. “Yeah. I’ll wait here.”

There is yet another shrug. “I don’t see why not. It’d probably help with whatever workload there is anyway.”

“Just making the rounds, seeing what needs to be done.” He shrugs casually. “Nothing worth worrying over.”

“Yeah.” Cloud takes a few more bites, finishing it quickly. “If they’re all like this, then your uncle should have a fortune soon enough.”

“Ah, right.” Cloud awkwardly responds. “I’m sure they would. It’d improve everyone’s’ day I’m sure.”

After the gets the bite down there’s another, encouraging nod. “I wouldn’t complain. They’re pretty good. Don’t ask for a whole batch just for me though.”

“Sounds—“ Before he can even finish his sentence she’s gone. Cloud shakes his head, only perking back up when the Cetra returns. “Thanks.” He took one of the less sweetened ones, and a bite right after. A smile and nod will tell her it’s good.
