FFVII/X-2: Sephiroth, Paine, G

[owlmoose]

Rikku nudged Paine's arm so hard she almost spilled her vodka and tonic. "Look, look! He's totally checking you out!"

Paine turned just enough to cast another look at the man at the other end of the bar, dressed head to toe in black, his silver hair almost long enough to touch his knees. Just as Rikku had said, he was, in fact, watching her, and he met her eyes before lifting his glass. She quirked an eyebrow in return, then looked back at Rikku, who was taking a sip from her soda. "The general?"

Yuna, sitting on Rikku's other side, leaned forward to get a better look. "General Sephiroth," she said, voice hushed with awe. "They say he has no fear of death, that he puts himself into the center of every battle and always volunteers for every mission with hopeless odds."

"Great." Paine snorted. "Another guy with impossibly long hair and a deathwish. Like I don't get enough of that at home." She tossed back her drink, then set the glass back on the bar with an audible crash. "Who do these guys think they are, anyway?"

"I guess you'll get a chance to find out, 'cause he's walking this way!" Rikku bounced up from her seat and pulled at Yuna's sleeve; Yuna slid off her stool without protest. "C'mon Yunie, I think I need to powder my nose."

"You're both dead," Paine called after their disappearing backs; Rikku looked back over her shoulder with a smug smile and a finger wave. With a sigh, she turned around just in time to see the general's approach. He towered over her, and Paine sat up as tall as she could.

"May I buy you a drink?" the general asked, his voice low and oddly familiar.

"And who are you supposed to be?" she asked, crossing her arms staring straight into his disturbingly green eyes.

He spread his hands and showed a wry smile. "The man who wants to buy you a drink. I saw your performance on the field today; very impressive. I only wish to know a little about the woman behind the sword before I offer you a commission."

Paine raised a skeptical eyebrow. "A commission?"

"Indeed." Sephiroth confirmed his words with a nod, then gestured to the barstool that Rikku had just vacated. "May I?"

"It's everyone's bar." Paine shrugged; Sephiroth sat, then waved over the bartender.

"So. Paine." Paine started; how did he already know her name? Sephiroth affected not to notice her surprise, continuing without missing a beat. "What do you know about SOLDIER?"

NOT MY PROMPT, BUT I LOVE YOU FOREVER.

Well, I was going to go write a ficbit, but now I have to go back to that danged UST scene while your Paine voice is psychically grafted onto my skull.

Her snarky assessment of Sephiroth's reputation is so perfectly Paine. I can hear the voice.

And it works, and it's believable, and everyone's IC.

Excuse me. Paine? Come thisaway. *scampers off*
