Characters: Cloud, Zack, other visitors
Content: Zack and Cloud, old colleagues, are reunited!
Setting: Cloud's workshop
Time: Midday
Warnings: To be announced?
((OOC: Zack and Cloud need a little 'alone-time', but if anyone else wants to visit, they can drop by before or after the primary conversation in another thread.))
How strange it was, Cloud thought that morning, that his arms weren't shaking. His pulse was steady, his legs weren't heavy, and his breathing came in its usual soft rhythm. Despite having met someone who claimed to know him from his past life, his nerves didn't feel at all bothered, and today...today was just another day. Rising out of bed, Cloud cleaned himself up, dressed, and began to pick up some of the mild clutter around his quarters, a few errant tools laying out on the work table and a small handful of papers left sitting out nearby.
Today was just another day, but that wasn't to say it wasn't a good day. Cloud might not have been nervous, but he was certainly happy about the idea of Zack swinging by so that they might have a chat. When he first emerged from his bed, he stood in front of a small mirror, looking at his own reflection with mussed hair and eyes barely open, wondering if perhaps he wasn't nervous because he had actually managed to make peace with who he was then, rather than be concerned over who he was before. He didn't care much about it, or the past in general, so long as he was comfortable in the present.
At that point, he hesitated - but only for a moment - over meeting Zack. If he was so comfortable now, would dredging up the past throw a wrench into the works?
No, don't be stupid... he thought immediately, shedding such doubts with a simple scolding. Whatever happened before is long gone.
He couldn't ignore it, either. He'd have to avoid Zack entirely for that to happen, and that just wasn't an option. No, he'd welcome this man from his history in. If he happened to have any answers to lingering questions, then that would just be an added bonus to regaining an old friend.
