Can you? Your body can only endure so much. And your heart is extra fragile.

[spikyheaded]

You say that as if you know me.

[sefirot]

I do. I know everything from your biggest fears to your greatest desires.

[spikyheaded]

[At this point, it's getting harder and harder to read this page. What is this unicorn barf crap, anyway. But... he has to admit he's curious.]

Let's see what you got then.

[sefirot]

[He hates it too, Cloud.]

You fear not having the strength to save those you care about. That you won't live up to the promises you've made.

[spikyheaded]

[What the...]

[spikyheaded]

Done poking fun yet?

[He's just going to try to play it cool. Good thing this wasn't a conversation they were having in person.]

[sefirot]

It's not "poking fun" to speak about how you truly feel.

[spikyheaded]

Let's say what you said is hypothetically true then. How is it that you know all that?

[sefirot]

By now you should know what it is that binds us together.

[spikyheaded]

Whatever this Reunion is, right?

[sefirot]

Yes, but also much more.

[spikyheaded]

What else is there?

[sefirot]

I'm a shadow forever burned upon your heart. A scar that will never heal. A darkness that lasts forever. And you are the anchor by which I stand.

[spikyheaded]

It's hard to take tou seriously with all of... that

[Yes, he means the sparkles.]

[sefirot]

Would you prefer to have this conversation in person, Cloud?

[spikyheaded]

If it means I can keep an eye on you, then sure. Why not?

[sefirot]

Very well. Where?

[spikyheaded]

The fountain. By the plaza.

[sefirot]

See you soon, Cloud.

[spikyheaded]

[Cloud is at the fountain within a few minutes after sending the message, glad to be done with the eye sore that showed up with every one of Sephiroth's messages. He's unsure what to expect, but hopefully, it'll be answers to what Sephiroth has been alluding to for a while now.

When Sephiroth arrives, he'll find Cloud sitting on a bench by the fountain, elbows resting on his legs.]

[sefirot]

[Sephiroth arrives from the sky, landing beside the bench with a few feathers littering the ground pronouncing his dramatic arrival.]

Hello, Cloud.

[spikyheaded]

[Sephiroth's entrance catches Cloud off-guard and he's immediately on his feet, hand on his sword. Even here, he shouldn't let his guard down with Sephiroth.]

Can't even show up normally, can you?

[sefirot]

[Always so excitable, Cloud. At least Sephiroth doesn't voice that thought. But the reaction still pleases him.]

What would you consider normal?
