[In the aftermath of the tornado, now that things have calmed some, Cissnei has taken up Residence in the Tower Apartments... Seeing as how the apartment she was staying in before has collapsed.]
[Private to Reno: 40%Hackable]Tseng was injured in the building collapse- He'll be staying with me until he recovers. If you need anything come to me ( Read more... )

From the church to their new residence, his voice began to rasp (as the fresh air was encouraging his coughing out the debris that settled inside his lungs) and he spent more time concentrating in finding a comfortable position for both his battered body and to better breath. ]

They had been taught well in working under any extreme conditions, but attempting to go on the reverse about such was a challenge.
The girl sets the NOC aside when she was finished speaking, and moved over to the other and the only excuse for a bed they had and shifted to sit down gently on one edge, unsure if the man was asleep or awake at the moment.]

Did you get a hold.. of Zack?
[ He still hasn't heard from the SOLDIER, and knew he wasn't the only one concerned for his well being. ]
Reply
No, not yet...I'll keep a eye out for him.
[ Now knowing he was awake, her hand slowly made it's way up to brush dark bangs back from his face, near asking the question How are you feeling?...But it seemed silly, when she could pretty much tell.]
Do you need anything?

It felt as if he wasn't finished - though, he knew, it probably had a lot to do with the fact that he was put out before he even really began. ]
Some water..

For her, much more than others.]
Alright, you try and sit up. I'll be right back.
[And she will get up to leave him for a moment, looking around for what they had used for glasses earlier that day.]

He didn't have any replacements, he didn't know of any that could repair this suit - nor did he know of any place here that offered the same style in clothes.
He'll have to search through the NOC, perhaps there was something or someone that could help with this dilemma. Paradise had to get their clothing from somewhere, obviously they didn't wear what they came with for their whole lives. ]
...
[ He rose his hand to his head. Pushing the strands from his face as he bowed his head. He was dizzy. ]

Don't worry about that right now. We'll figure something out a bit later. [She was more concerned about actually getting him to settle down (maybe, horror of all horrors, relax.)enough to rest rest, because that was honestly what he needed right now. A shot of fullcure could only do so much more for him.]
Here. Remember to drink slowly. [She hands him the glass which is only about a quarter full, never really one to attempt to baby or coddle the other on things he could do on his own.]

We'll have to regroup..
[ Setting the glass down to the floor, beside the mattress, he looked pulled out the NOC, checking the time (his wrist watch had been on the fritz since arriving here) with brows drawing together it was nearly ten pm. ]
Before midnight.. Have you heard back from Reno yet?
Reply
A hand, unusually ungloved at the moment, reaches out to cover over his, drawing the NOC away from him slowly.]
You have to rest. Reno is a Turk, he can take care of himself. He will report in when he does--[The barest of smiles, and she puts his NOC out of reach.] When he feels it has been long enough, as usual.
[She's not quite yet taking on the 'don't argue with me' tone. But it could get there rather quickly with him, she knew.]
Reply
If he doesn't report before nine tomorrow, I'll send out word for him.
[ His eyes sliding over to his NOC, out of reach then up to Cissnei's ... so little has really changed. From their time under Veld, he recalled her just the same as she was all those years ago. ]
Who do we have accounted for, thus far?
Reply
Trust me, Tseng. I will take care of it.
[That's all she says on the subject. He had other things he really should be focusing on, like Himself. All the same, her next words are gentle. Teasing almost, but holding a firm sort of resolution to them.]
It would do you much more good if you at least attempted to rest your eyes... Don't make me regret not having my sleep materia on me.

... Though he could feel himself beginning to work up over a subtle hint that he did need to rest. The irritation of being hurt, unwell, and out of control was putting him on the fritz. With a sigh he slid off his jacket and loosened his tie - sliding the black fabric from around his neck. He folded them before putting them aside the glass and then unbuttoned his shirt, slipping it off, leaving him in his slacks and undershirt as he folded the shirt and piled it on top of his other clothes.
He slid back down on the mattress and closed his eyes, laying flat on his back and worked on finding a steady breath that wouldn't hurt his body too much. ]

See? Not so bad at all Tseng. Cissnei watched him settle down as best he could-There would be no noise or light to distract him, with the electricity turned off in this building at night- from her position by the wall. She herself didn't mind catching catnaps this time around, or for the next while until Tseng was healed enough to be back on top. A smile crossed her face, hard to see in the dark even if he was looking as she listened to his breathing, realizing it's shallowness...There wasn't much to use to prop him up slightly though, until she had a idea.]
...Hey. Hold on a sec. [And she's shifting around a bit, moving closer to him.]
Reply
... What is it?
[ He lifted his head, and opened his eyes, the room even darker then it was before he closed them. Feeling her, more then seeing, coming closer. ]
Reply
Cissnei cannot give him much, in a place like this, but she would what she could.]
