Midgar, Gaia -- Sunday

[intraspective]

Little changed in the hospital room overnight. The girl slept, the boy slept, and machines continued their monitoring—more to be safe than out of true need for them—and if the nurses came by to check on them (but always careful not to wake them) a little more often than necessary…

Well, there was nothing wrong with that, was there?

And in this manner, time passed until morning.

[For ze puppy. NFB due to distance.]

"Plus, he's been my buddy in SOLDIER ever since we were both recruits," he added. "There aren't many other guys who I'd just invite to get stuff out of my room, you know?"

... Not for the sake of his things, but because they were guys, and he was asking them to root through his girlfriend's clothing.

Apple juice definitely helped with the taste of the potion and Ino felt almost normal sitting there now.

"Okay," she said softly. "If you trust him, then I will too."

A beat.

"Is there a hairbrush in here?"

Because she had an awful lot of hair...

Between the two of them, a hairbrush was pretty definitely in order, wasn't it?

Zack pursed his lips, sipping at his juice thoughtfully before turning and starting to poke at the few drawers scattered here and there in the room.

"You would think so, huh? I guess I could see if they have anything like that in the gift shop, too..."

In between the stuffed chocobos with plushie hearts sewn to their wings, and the ugly polyester flower bouquets.
