"What are we, chopped liver?"

It was a joke, a tease, but it held a nugget of meaning behind it as Sebastian cast a raised brow up at the man walking next to him on patrol. It was an unusually morose statement for the younger man to make. Normally, he was peppy and positive and full of enthusiasm. It was strange to see him look so reserved and contemplative.

It made him wonder what might have caused such a state in him.

"You've got all of us, now. The town's practically wrapped around your finger. You don't have to prove anything, sure, but you're not without things to lose." A shrug. "That's what keeps me going. My home, my family, my friends -- we've got our own slice of paradise to fight for. You're a part of that."

"When you were a kid? Of course!" Zack clapped Cloud on the back companionably and reached up to mess up his unruly spikes even more. "You're the same person! I don't see why I wouldn't have liked you then."

     “I’ve got about five minutes of patience in me and then I start swingin’!” An extra minute if Genesis is nice about it. He doesn’t see how Angeal could have been friends with someone so polar opposite even if they had a small town in common. Zack’s on high alert around him, the hairs on the back of his neck standing on end every time he opens his damn mouth to spout some nonsense he doesn’t even understand.
