She'd look for them even if we tried to stop her anyway.

[ he is not barret he is not playing babysitter!!!*
*he is going to play babysitter ]

[residentflorist]

That's true enough. [no cloud is going to be the babysitter that's why i took it off of aerith's profile.] Not much else we can do right now anyway, as much as I hate to say it.

[residentmerc]

... Until we know why we're here, it's a waiting game. I've looked around everywhere, and I haven't found anything to point us in any direction yet.

[residentflorist]

Yeah. I want to take another look again just in case, but nothing turned up for me either. [...] We don't have much time to wait, right?

[residentmerc]

... No, we don't. It won't be long now before...

[ looking a little distant and out of it before he shakes his head ]

Tifa and the others will keep going, but they can't take Sephiroth on their own.

[residentflorist]

[hey. don't drift off, thank you. she just kind of scoots closer to him.]

No. It needs to be all of you. [...] But if they know we're gone, what are they going to do?

[residentmerc]

[ he frowns a little at her saying all of you, but doesn't correct her, because technically her job is to pray! surely that is what she meant ]

... I don't know. Depends on how we left. They might try to look for us. Or they might try to at least... stall somehow.

[residentflorist]

[boy she sure is hoping that's how cloud is taking this right now.]

How we left is still a mystery, too. [like. they were just grabbed out of nowhere? were they attacked? what the fuck happened here.] If they're looking for us, it gives him more time. But without us...[there's no winning here and she's a little worried about it! actually!]

[residentmerc]

[ he is also worried and it shows in the way he's frowning and tense, but... ]

... We'll figure it out. He hasn't used it yet, as far as we know. Maybe he's waiting for something.

[ FOR CLOUD TO HAND IT TO HIM, SURE ]

[residentflorist]

[cloud should maybe not do that, actually!]

Maybe. [this is about waiting for something. we are side-stepping that.] But you're right. We'll figure something out.

[she just does not have to tell cloud what, exactly, her goals are.]

[residentmerc]

... Nothing else to do but keep going. Faster we get out of here, faster we can get back to what's important.

[ fighting sephiroth!!!! ]

[residentflorist]

...yeah. [faster we get out of here, faster they can get back to what's important and where they belong.] And speaking of getting out of here, ready to keep going?

[they have changed clothes. they can stop hanging out in this house.]

[residentmerc]

... Right.

What do you want to do now?

[ probably drop this thread to move on to the other one ]

[residentflorist]

Pick a building and keep looking? I haven't looked through the barn much yet. And maybe figure out where to stay tonight.

[which they can do off-screen and drop this thread so we can do the other one since we will have multiple this week i'm sure.]
