[listen bitch if she's coming back to life then you have to stay with her.]

Yeah? [she doesn't seem to think that's a surprise given what she knows about cloud, so it's a non-judgmental "yeah" than anything.] It's still a scary concept sometimes. But the more I see of what's out there, the more I want it for myself. Maybe that's a little selfish to think of it that way, but...it's a planet worth saving. With people I want to be with for a long time to come.

... Even if it's selfish, I think you're allowed to be a little selfish by now.

[ maybe.. .they both are... ]

[residentflorist]

A few people have said that lately. I know it's true, but...kinda hard still, you know? I'm not sure how much is okay when... [when she's a steward of the planet and she's meant to act in her will at all times.]

[residentmerc]

[ hmmm. he can guess what she's trailing off about. so... ]

If it's too selfish, I'll tell you. How about it?

[residentflorist]

Well. I do trust you not to hold back for my sake. [a little dry. just like with zack, being around cloud is rubbing off on her. god.] ...but okay. Until then, it's you and me and figuring out how to get what we want.

[residentmerc]

[ her dryness makes his lips quirk up a little. ]

Right. We can... figure that out. Together.

[residentflorist]

[...that makes her happier than it should, maybe, if only because it's so simple.]

Until then...ice cream. You and me and nobody else. That's what I want right now. Come on.

[sets this thread off to the sea.]
