Nero. You will come upstairs. With the rising water, you and your pets will...have a better chance of surviving up here.

[The voice turns slightly coy; not taking no for an answer]

Angeal, I trust...you don't mind sharing tonight?

[There's a pause, as if he's listening to something, breath catching before he flips the communicator off.

[Pause.]

[Sliiiiight eyebrow raise.]

... Angeal?

[vanitynightmare]

Do you know him?

[shinra_finest]

Gener-- SOLDIER First Class?

[vanitynightmare]

That would be my Dove.

[shinra_finest]

... [Isn't he supposed to be dea--]

Dove?

[vanitynightmare]

White wings to my black. Forgive me a bit of poetic license with him.

[shinra_finest]

-- Right. Dove. Got it. [An inner snort. Any other time he would plain burst out laughing, but he really isn't in the mood for that yet.

It does cross his mind the face Zack would do if he heard it, though. ... It also crosses his mind how First Class Sephiroth, back before he went nuts, would react to being called that himself.

Priceless, he would bet. At a safe distance, that is.]

Who are you?

[vanitynightmare]

[Knowing Zack, any mention of Karasu would cause a fit of anger, but then again, that in itself tended to make him laugh. As it was, he remained neutral, if amused]

My name is Karasu. And...you are?

[shinra_finest]

Name's Reno.

[vanitynightmare]

I Suppose that I could call it a pleasure then.

[shinra_finest]

Gotta be a pleasure to talk to me, yeah. [And that might be the beginning of a small smirk there. Still not as usual though.]

[vanitynightmare]

You're likely pretty enough to make talking to you a pleasure...

[shinra_finest]

Gorgeous's the word. [Well, yes, he is grinning now, trying to keep his head occupied, not to think too much - After all, he is starting to run low on cigarettes.]

[vanitynightmare]

Prove it, pretty.

[shinra_finest]

I only needed to prove it if I had doubts about it. [Griiin-- And. Pretty? ... Seriously?

Eyebrow raising.] Don't call me that, reminds me of-- [Grampa's boygirlfriend.] -- Anyway, yeah.

[vanitynightmare]

[Contemplating this for a moment before]

You have attitude. That's a pleasant surprise considering the amount of...otherwise idiotic rabble around here.
