Tifa, I've got Denzel with me and Simon at the clinic. They're sleeping right now, but they both could use a healer. Raine, whenever you're ready, if you come to cure Simon, would you mind helping Denzel too?

Cloud-

Listen

I'm so

...Mmph. Nevermind.

Then say it. I'm right here.

The boys. They're nearby, right? They're asleep?

I don't want them overhearing.

[Private; Voice]

[wingenvy]

Denzel's exhausted and Simon's been out for three days. You're safe.

Three days...

[Private; Voice]

[wingenvy]

...Yeah. We're cutting it really close, Spike, but he'll make it.

[Private; Voice]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

Good.

Good.

Good. Very good.

Shitty way to die, y'know?

Well, maybe not. Might be another way to go that sucks even more...any way to die probably sucks. Might beat four years of experiments, though, but that's kind of like dying all in itself, y'know?

Gh- ignore that. Of course you know. I'm the one catching up here.

[Private; Voice]

[wingenvy]

....Yeah. I know.

But you know... neither of us died. The experiments didn't kill us. And maybe we're both a little cracked, but we're not broken.

[Private; Voice]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

Cracked... [Brief chuckle.]

Yeah. Not broken, and not dead. What doesn't kill you makes you str-...

Ugh. I'm sorry. Sorry.

Sorry.

[Private; Voice]

[wingenvy]

It's okay.

Cloud, don't stop. Whatever you do, don't stop.

[Private; Voice]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

...don't stop talking?

I actually feel kind of sick. Gonna throw up.

[Private; Voice]

[wingenvy]

Then do it. Who's gonna know?

[There's a pause as Cloud's trying to get his stomach to settle down.]

I dunno, I had to eat that Spice stuff. Might...puke myself into a coma.

Don't know how it works, really. At least it did.

[Private; Voice]

[wingenvy]

Ugh, Spike. Watch yourself. There's nobody left to rescue you at this point.

[Private; Voice]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

I'm fine.

[Pause.]

Ate some snow.

...Holy Shiva and Odin, it's cold.

[Private; Voice]

[wingenvy]

Er. You should probably think about at least getting to a house so you don't freeze or something.

[Private; Voice]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

Are you kidding? I lived in Nibelheim. And you went through Modeoheim in a tank top.

It's just cold out there. Deeper in the caves is warm. Can't walk, makes me woozy.

[Private; Voice]

[wingenvy]

Alright, you've got a point there.

Are you there alone?

[Private; Voice]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

Yeah.

Told Leto to go away. Didn't want him here with me like this.

[Private; Voice]

[wingenvy]

I hope you at least thanked the poor guy.

[Private; Voice]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

...I think so?

[Private; Voice]

[wingenvy]

Heh, well, you can always thank him later.

[Private; Voice]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

...don't stop what, by the way? Unless you really did mean talking.

[Private; Voice]

[wingenvy]

Yeah, I mean talking. If you need to get it out, or keep yourself distracted... keeping it to yourself can just make you explode.

That was your advice, remember?
