[So, like a good puppy (whose nerves were already borderline shot and was not spending all night worrying, really), Zack called ahead on his way home. It was already well into the AM hours, but for him, it was still rather early. After dumping dropping his hyperactive charge off next door, he dug for his keys, unlocked the door, and snuck into the hallway. Unlike other certain people Angeal got stuck babysitting, he actually knew to be quiet this late at night.]
[And Angeal is, naturally, waiting up for him. Spending a day cleaning with Genesis didn't tire him out - unlike many seemed to believe, it wasn't like Loveless put him to sleep.]
[It takes a moment for him to kick his shoes off by the door before tiptoeing into the living room, jacket slung over an arm, trying not to look like his nerves were making loud rattling noises in his brain and quite possibly failing miserably.]
[He was worried. Angeal could tell that. Still, it was only to be expected - his own nerves were rattling horribly. Should he believe what that girl had said about Zack? Everyone else seemed to take such a thing seriously, and she did seem to know things she otherwise... shouldn't.
Maybe someone was playing him for a fool. But if there was any chance that Zack was hurting, Angeal wanted to do his best to soothe it.]
Seems like it. You need anything?
[Ice breakers were always good, but he doubted things were going to get comfortable in this conversation at all.]

This is something a little more serious.

What's up?

I'd rather not do it over here. Is there a time which would be good for you?

Uh, sure? After work is fine, I guess, if you don't mind it being kinda late.

I don't mind, Zack.

Er, alright, then. I'll give you a call when I'm heading back?

Well, after I've made him clean up the mess.

I won't hover and gloat, promise. Thanks for helping out, Angeal.
