Midgar, Gaia -- Sunday Afternoon/Evening

[flowering_mind]

There wasn’t really room in the quarters she and Zack shared in the ShinRa building for a proper vanity and mirror, but Ino was used to living in dorms and had adapted to the smaller spaces those offered. It wasn’t so much of a bother, truly, so long as there was time to get ready and nothing had to be rushed

Really, Zack's idea of 'getting ready to go out' mostly just involved a spit-shine for his boots, and maybe brushing his hair, if his date was lucky.

Well, how else do you suppose he'd go about getting it to stand on-end like that, no matter what he went through?

"Almost," he replied, with a lopsided sort of lilt to his usual smile. "I mean, looking forward to the play and stuff, right? The study group said it was pretty highly recommended. Kunsel really liked it, too."

Yes, talking about the play was way easier than talking about going to visit his folks.

"Kunsel could like it for a hundred different reasons," she said, setting her mirror to the side. "I suppose at least one of them might be true for us as well."

Because, really, she had a brain and Kunsel was--something else.

Ino flicked a bit of her hair behind one ear. "Are you excited to go?"

Hey! Kunsel was awesome, Ino! He knew more about the inner workings of ShinRa than most of ShinRa did.

He was also very good at keeping that fact on the down-low, when it came to the Turks, perhaps.

"To the play?" Zack offered a tiny smile. "I guess so. I mean, I should be, right? It's got a big name, anyone who's anyone has seen it."

Yes, it was so, so much easier to talk about the play. Sorry, Ino.

"Yes," she said, with a roll of her eyes that did nothing to hide the fact that she was amused. "I'm sure that's exactly why we're going. So we can be somebodies."

Absolutely! It was awful to be nobodies, right?

Ino fussed with her hair a little more before giving it up as being as good as it was going to be.
