[...she thinks about the gore that was on cloud's face when he came out of the box and thinks about how food probably isn't a great thing to talk about right now, actually, so she shakes her head.]
Right. Sorry, you did mention an island. [with that, she's getting up from the bed and crossing the apartment to open up a cabinet to pull out a bottle of water.] I don't want further clarification, do I.
[ he takes the bottle and honestly he is pretty thirsty so he is. going to guzzle that down probably. but; ]
Wasn't anything worse than stuff you can find in the slums. [ which, admittedly. the slums can have some pretty shitty food because sometimes you are poor and you eat rats. he sloshes the water bottle before admitting, reluctantly; ] Pretty sure it was drugged.
[ the reason he looked away is that he is going to just stop eating food at some point if people keep drugging it ]
[...grabs a second bottle to keep by the bed then.]
Yeah, well. Everybody was doing what we could. [so yeah she agrees the slums had some pretty shitty food, but he finishes that and there's the animal crossing shocked piano crashing effect in her thoughts because please stop drugging her boyfriend!!! please!!]
It would be really nice if this stopped happening. [oh now she's just mad. that's fine.]
[ he doesn't mean to say all slums food sucked!!! but he looks at her and it's... he doesn't want her to be mad at something that ultimately she can't do anything about, but it is nice to know he's not the only one frustrated by this. ]
Can't disagree with that. [ but to explain why he thinks it was drugged; ] It's gone now, but it made me feel weak and... heavy. Didn't help much for the fights.
[ there were other effects but honestly anything that messes with his mind is a 50/50 it was on himself so he doesn't think they were real ]
[she drops the topic about slum life because she's busy being mad.]
So they fed you something that was meant to put you at a disadvantage to put you into a fighting tournament without your weapons. Talk about cheating. [what the FUCK actually.] Almost like whoever set you up didn't want you to succeed at all.
[that's also frustrating. she has to stop being mad at some point because she cannot go out to the fog to go to demon island and fight, so she's sulking a little as she thinks]
...all I care about is that you guys came back. We can work through everything else together.
[ cloud looks at the baby chocobo and kind of. nudges it while nodding towards aerith. because he can speak to birds the baby understands and it wiggles a little to flop partially on her lap with a little warble. no sulks i am adorable :3? ]
You could be missing multiple limbs and still tell me that, Cloud. Don't be so surprised I believe it a little less today. [pets for the good, honest baby.]
It's not an exaggeration when it's a little true, you know. [pouts right back. there's also a stray thought of stop making me want to kiss your pout away which is extremely useless. aerith why.]
[up she goes to go to the closet and grab a thinner blanket!! she's throwing a thicker one over onto the oversized chair that she's going to sleep in, but she comes back and loosely wraps cloud in the blanket. stop glowing a little.]

no subject
...do you want another blanket? I think there's a thinner one in the closet. ["you should really sleep."]
no subject
