001 || come hold my hand through the night.

[A full day afterwards, and you'd think he'd learn by now to stay still. But guess what? He's not listening to any of you! Because he's sitting over the edge of the bed, now that the Sleep spell finally wore off, holding the... comm-shell thing in one hand. He still looks exhausted as all hell, though he's managing a small smile through it all.]

...Cloud. Cloud, can you hear me?

[Definately sounds like he hasn't rested enough.

The SOLDIER gives a weak laugh, shaking his head and allowing his bangs to wave in front of his face.]

Prolly not.

I'm... lookin' for someone. Cloud Strife. Blonde hair, may or may not be completely comatose.

Dunno where we are, but... whoever brought us here. Thanks.

[Giving a hoarse cough, he turns away from the feed a minute to catch his breath, just before turning back and resuming his demeanor.]

Gonna take a look around. Ping if you can tell me anything.

[Nope! Not sitting down just yet and you're getting a tight brohug anyway. Enough that he's actually lifting you right off the ground with a happy laugh.]

Well, I'm glad! You didn't look so good before, man.

[ASDFTGHJKL; ZACK. YOUR INJURIES. SIT YOUR ASS BACK DOWN. He does chuckle a bit though, brohugging back. Yeah... Same old puppy.]

Hey...! Calm down before Lucrecia throws me out for starting a fuss. [The laugh is still there in his tone though, along with the mental flailing.]

And I know I didn't. Guess I had to get worse before getting better.

[For once in his life, Zack actually listens to Cloud and gently sets him down, wincing at a sharp pain in his chest momentarily.]

Yeah, yeah, I'm fine. S'not like I'm in immediate danger now, right? [And with all Clouds, here comes the hair ruffle!] You look good, kid. Even if there is some weird time-gap, you do!
