[ look jiji cloud is wearing a giant sword on his back, talk to him about sword spirits so he can be tired. anyway, they are somehow both out here in the hallway of numerous mysterious doors for Reasons, and cloud is thinking of opening door #4 according to the RNG. What WILL happen next. ]
Hey. You looking into these, too?
[ jiji can just be wandering around cloud is just trying to be personable for five minutes only to later regret it immediately ]
[ the void is our home and it is the place we feel safe. cloud's walking around expect a real invest and still going ??? about it a little, but he stops when mikazuki greets him ]
Unsurprised, but I can't say I'm pleased about it either. [ stupid murder hotel. he nods back at jiji ] You?
[ cloud is out in the courtyard! sometimes you want to feel like you are outside but you hold a grudge against the current location for all the clown doors you have seen. he's sitting near the flowers, looking out at them and looking frankly exhausted. for a mysterious reason. so mysterious.
he's not trying to hide or anything, so he'll greet jiji with a nod when he spots him ]
[ they're in the courtyard garden! this is their spot when they are not at the bar so i have declared it. cloud's already watching the sky? ceiling? skyling with a squint when jiji shows up, and he tenses a little ]
... Things have been kind of weird today. Maybe don't stand too close.
[ like the memshare cares about distance to people, cloud strife, ]
[imagine if riku was still sliced wouldn't that be fucking wild]
Mm. I feel similarly.
... I remain unsatisfied. [a beat] I worry, strangely, that I have disappointed those dear to me somehow.
[hope was a friend, sure, and jiji mourns everyone. but he felt like aikawa and zuko especially thought something of him, and he couldn't give them much in return]
cloud is somewhere on floor three, for some godforsaken reason, but at least he's changed into different clothing that hides most of his wounds except for the messed up bite on his neck. he's limping a little. don't look at him.
he sees mikazuki and blinks before raising his good arm at him in greeting. henwo ]

... How's the wound?
[ he didn't check on him yesterday because that implies caring, this is incidental so it does not. don't look at him. ]
no subject
mikazuki's got some makeshift cloth bandages going on, and his expression turns slightly amused at the question]
It is a wound.
Though from what I understand from those better informed than I, it shall heal shortly. It is considerably slower than repairs...
