[The camera clicks on and in its sights is one exasperated, and slightly worried, ex-SOLDIER. Bright blue eyes roll as he sinks into a chair almost bonelessly, one hand half-open on the table. He's tired and it shows.]
With him back, I almost wonder if it isn't better that they're all gone. Definitely safer that way, being outta this world and away from his reach. Hmph. [There's a quiet moment, almost sobering, as he mutters under his breath.]Doesn't make me miss them any less, though.
[And just like that, Zack's back to normal. Customary smile. Customary sound.] Hey, Avari? Got some time tomorrow? I was hoping to come by and work on that sword. Or, you know, anything else you've got lying around.
[He brightens, a smile crossing his lips.] Naoto? Hey, hey, I might just have something to cheer you up tomorrow, if you're game.
Private to Willow
[Aaaaand, have a sheepish Zack. Seems someone's mouth is writing checks his butt can't quite cash.]
Um, yeah, [Awkward neck scratch here.] I was wondering if you could help me out. I've got a friend of mine that's kinda down, and... well, if you can make that cake trick work again, that'd be amazing.
But, also, um, what else cheers girls up? I know the generics: flowers, baby animals, dazzling smiles from men whose names start with "Z" and end in "ack", but other than that, what sort of ballgame am I in here?
[Zack leans forward to turn the camera off, but suddenly the image moves, jostles, jiggles before it's stolen and taken over. One red-button eye slides into view, looking over the white of a cowl laid over half of the sackdoll's face. It pulls back suddenly and looks on in a way that's both surprised and cocky. There's a definite "I've been found out, but I can fix it!" method to this red-button stare, and it seems all too ready to follow through. There's a flick of its arm, then a crack and a cloud of smoke that fills the view. In the background, one indignant Zack is coughing.]
Will you stop that?! Shiva, that's the fifth time today you've done it! I didn't even know they made those stupid nuts that small!
