It took Neji a little longer than he wanted to get to the Bar, but it was for a good reason; he'd wanted to make sure that everything was settled before taking off. So, he had fixed his bandages and made sure to wrap a headband around the wrappings that covered his head, making sure those were the least obvious.

After, he was sprinting towards the place that Zack had said he'd be, going a little slower than normal because of his injuries, but he didn't care.

He pushed the door open once he reached the bar, glancing around then moving towards the soldier once he spotted him. He hesitated, a concerned look on his features as he approached.

``Zack-san ...``

I'M GOING TO PRETEND THESE ARE ALL AT DIFFERENT TIMES

Zack glanced over when he saw the familiar long black hair hair of his friend. He looked a little off (maybe he'd gotten a little hurt doing all that ninja training?) but Zack paid no mind to it. He figured he could handle it, right? Neji looked like the type that could take anything... or would try to take anything. In fact, maybe he should have been a little more concerned for his friend? Maybe he... ow.

Maybe he shouldn't try to move his shoulder.

"Uh...hey," he smiled.

FINE WITH ME |D

He frowned slightly at the sight of Zack's injuries, his arms lifting to cross over his chest. He was tempted to ask what had happened to him, though it was none of his business and he was sure that Zack wouldn't want to explain.

Instead, Neji moved and sat next to him, setting his hands into his lap now.

``What happened?`` he asked, apparently unable to keep the question back.

Zack looked back to his drink. How to explain this? Should he have started from the beginning or just go straight into it? To start at the beginning meant that he had to start with Gaia and Aerith, and falling through churches, and explain why all of Shin-Ra's Turk's had sticks shoved so far up their-

Maybe he could start somewhere in the middle.

"Have you ever told somebody you love them... when you love someone else?"

That question caught him offguard.

He blinked and made it seem as if he had to think about that question for a minute, though he knew the answer right away. Of course he had, but neither of those people were even on the island anymore.

``Yes, I have.``

Well that was something he wasn't quite expecting, but if it would help... He continued staring at his drink, watching the last bit of foam fizz away. He tried lifting his arm to pick up the glass and winced. Ow. He had to remember not to move that arm.

"Were they mad at you?"

don't be so surprised, zack. :|

[eighthsight]

He wanted to say something smart, but he bit his tongue; he was here to help, not make things worse and he didn't want to do that. Besides, Zack looked so upset ...

``For a while.``

FFFF. IT'S MIND BLOWING 8|

[firstclass_hero]

"Yeah..." he nodded. It was a question with an obvious answer, but he had to ask it. If Neji had gone through the same stuff, though... he'd probably give the best advice, right?

"How'd you fix it?"

orly. :|

The brunet sighed and leaned back in his seat, lifting his arms to rest on the table and locking his fingers together. He wasn't sure how to say it, aside from being straightforward.

``I had to choose.``
