*Well, there was some logic to that. Sephiroth didnât like anyone, but at the same time he did. Zack and Aerith at least were more than tolerated, whatever he said. Cloud knew, could trace the lines of deeply hidden happiness and contentment, easy for Sephiroth to ignore and scoff at. Denzel hadnât yet wormed his way as deep, but because he meant so much to Cloud, Sephiroth would lay the world to waste for him.*
{ A burst of warmth, reciprocated feeling. The tinge of worry. }
*The undercurrent of distrust toward Rufus would never fade, but since the idea of centralized schooling had come from Yuffieâs chaotic brashness, and because Denzel had asked to go, Cloud had caved. He worried, though, remembering his own ostracization, and Denzelâs shyness at times.*
*Sephiroth did not have friends. In his mind, friends were just traitors waiting to happen.*
Heâs doing his homework.
{ A light tug, sight overlaying sight. }
*Sephirothâs hands moved smoothly, rock the knife down to cut cleanly through the carrots then a slight shiftârock, cut, shift. His eyes looked at Denzel, hunched over a book across the way, his back to Sephiroth.*
{ The sensation of feathers surrounding, ease, protection. }
