I like the slyness of Seph in this fic. Even when he hasn't entirely decided on his course of action, he already started working on putting himself in the best situation to get what he desires.

So many times he's portrayed as being socially inept or oblivious. here he's very aware of human interactions and how to manipulate them to his advantage.

Plus live Zack is always a good thing :)

[forgottenlover]

I've always seen him caught somewhere between aware and oblivious

He knows how to manipulate people and use their emotions against them or for himself. However, he doesn't grasp the concepts of friendship or personal trust in aside from seeing someone as a superior.

See? So play is sort of not quite the same thing for him as it would be for others as he wasn't socialized the way others were.

[salmastryon]

Yeah that makes perfect sense.

There are parts to how he reacts that match up with everyone else just fine, then there are other actions that just don't make sense to him form his motives and how he was raised. He's not stupid though, so with enough exposure he can account for and react to it, to garner the reaction he would like. Btu friend for him isn't going to have the same meaning as it would for Zack or Cloud.

At least I think that is what your getting at?

[forgottenlover]

Pretty much. Essentially caught up on what he percieves instead of what they do.

People confuse the ever living shit out of him though, for the simple fact that their emotions tend to not match their actions, so he likely acts more aorund the emotion than the actions, when he's trying to do something more finely... and people don't really react so well to that, thus thinking he's scarier than he is.

So, having learned, he keeps things to himself while he figures out how a particular person is really reacting, see?

...... I've never seen this series before. How can I have missed it? *quietly boggles* I like this! Chibi!Sephiroth is definately of the win. *nods*

[forgottenlover]

::giggles:: I notice that seems to happen with me a lot. ::grins:: I'm glad you like it though.

[kemis]

Whee, already working on his masterplan for world domination!~ *scritches the chibiSeph and wishes him good luck*

[forgottenlover]

::snickers:: master plan?

He's stunned you think he has a plan.

Though, he might, so hmmm.

[pegunicent]

Of course he has a plan, it involves keeping himself and Zack, and Cloud by extension safe. Beyond that is a little fuzzy maybe. But there is definitely a plan.

-hugs them all and waits for more-

[forgottenlover]

Nono my dear. There is an experiment.
