[ooc: Morning After
the lecture, a few hours after
the last nightmare]
[Warm sunshine rose over the Chocobo Farm. Sephiroth had always been an early riser, not so much this morning however after the telepathic exertion during the night. It had been directed at pushing Cloud further than he'd ever pushed him before. He was sure he'd managed to leave physical evidence of his mind-messing this time and that felt satisfying, Sephiroth smirked to himself as his eyes traced the pattern across the ceiling of the bedroom. Today felt full of opportunity, perhaps today would be the day. If it wasn't, then more slept-in days like this would be expected as he continued to provoke his arch-nemesis.]
[Taking note that Jenova was in fact still in the same building, Sephiroth was quick to rise out of bed and head for the bathroom. Each hot splash of water in the shower felt as if it were tightening his mind and body into being ready for today. There was indeed a thick sense of apprehension almost as thick as the steam that soon engulfed the small bathroom]
[Possibly an hour later the door opened and allowed the steam to waft down the hallway. Having tightened one of the large towels around his waist and wrung most of the water out of his long silver hair Sephiroth headed back towards the bedroom he'd claimed as his own. Finishing brushing his hair all over one shoulder as he walked with a comb he paused at the room that he knew his Mother was sat inside. He knocked his knuckles lightly against the slightly ajar wooden door and softly called out with unspoken words]
Mother...
