[ cell phone call to Cloud ]

[ongroundedwings]

[Shera, with all the patience of several saints, waits for Cloud to answer her call. Cid was supposed to do this, but the day Shera lets him handle delicate matters like telling an poor boy like Cloud that his boyfriend from SOLDIER and ex-psuedo girlfriend are both back from the dead, her entire crew will be able to quit their day jobs and take up

[god, Cloud's so adorable. Shera just wants to give him hugs and stuffed animals and feed him. ...which is why she should have a baby, and stop trying to mother grown men. o.o;;; his voice makes her smile briefly, but her tone remains serious.]

The Shera's headed for Midgar. Did Shelke call you to tell you that we picked up your friend? Zack Fair, wasn't it...? We meant to drop him off in Midgar and let you boys catch up for a while, but something's come up.

Are you sitting down?

[ongroundedwings]

I'd feel better if you did, dear. It's not bad news, I promise.

We received a phone call from another old friend of yours and Cid's. Aerith? She's somewhere near the Forgotten City, and rather than drop Zack off pick her up by ourselves, we thought we should just pick you up and bring you to her. Do you think you can have your things packed by the time we dock this evening?

[ongroundedwings]

I can give you another call when we're closer.

...are you okay, Cloud?

[ongroundedwings]

Tell you what, dear. I'll make you a cup of hot cocoa for when we land. And there should still be cookies, unless Zack ate them all, in which case I'll make more...

[her voice takes on a gentle, affectionately stern sort of tone]

No frowns allowed aboard the Shera while I'm vice-captain, okay?

[ongroundedwings]

I'll see you in a few hours then. Feel free to call me if you need anything at all, okay?
