97... ever want to

[atouchofstrife]

...I never noticed how quiet it gets around here sometimes. Even when there's explosives going on outside.

I think I'm going to do some training, get out of the house. Barret? Stay away from that fresh tuna in the fridge - it's for the cats tonight.

Care for some company?

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

I'd like that.

[browning-baby.livejournal.com]

So would I. I've been neglecting it lately.

[private]

Are you alright?

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

Same here.

[private]

Just been cooped up too much.

[browning-baby.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you wanted to. If I couldn't find someone to join me, I was just going to go run forms in the snow.

[private]

I've been too into someone lately.

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

Restore is good to use during mid-battle but using it and not working the repaired muscles makes them hurt twice as much.

[private]

Is something wrong between you and Reeve?

[browning-baby.livejournal.com]

... ouch. Well then, we really need to work them.

[private]

Things are good. Really good.

I guess I'm nervous about it.

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

Mm.

[private]

I'm glad to hear that. He's a good man.

That it might fall apart?

private

[browning-baby.livejournal.com]

He really is.

He forgot everything yesterday and it hurt. I shouldn't care like this yet.

private

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

Don't be saying that.

private

[browning-baby.livejournal.com]

Well it's the truth.

I'm falling in love with him and it shouldn't happen this fast.

private

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

Is there something wrong with that?

private

[browning-baby.livejournal.com]

Yes.

private

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

...Sorry.

I just... wish to see you happy. And he deserves to be happy as well, and it looks like you two are doing great together.

private

[browning-baby.livejournal.com]

After what happened with the three of us, I didn't want this to happen again.

People I care about either end up hurt somehow or leaving me.

... you know what? Go on without me. I'm going to go on my own.

private

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

Part of that was my fault. I left because I couldn't watch you leave me. I couldn't watch him leave. Yeah, I messed up but that's just... I guess I am still screwed up in my head.

He's stronger than me, Anita. Gentler and kinder and stronger than I can ever be.

...Fine.

private

[browning-baby.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't have left you. Him, yes, but not you. In the end, it doesn't matter, I guess.

Hell Cloud, I don't know what to do.

I want to be with someone today, but I think my mood won't let me be decent company.

private

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

I guess we just messed it all up.

Yeah, I know.

I just want to keep hitting things until I can't think anymore. Or just do something. I am itching out of my skin from just sitting here. I probably won't be good company as well.

private

[browning-baby.livejournal.com]

I feel the same way.

... should we just forget polite sparring and just really go after each other?

private

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

I'll pack a Restore.

private

[browning-baby.livejournal.com]

For yourself. You know my policy.

private

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

I know. It's for me in case I need it.

private

[browning-baby.livejournal.com]

You'll have to help me steer clear of Reeve for a couple of days if I need to heal. He'll get grumpy at me.

private

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

I can do that. He can be grumpy at us together then.

private

[browning-baby.livejournal.com]

We've already fussed about that, you know. Me fighting.

private

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

...Did he tell you to not fight so much?

private

[browning-baby.livejournal.com]

He asked me to tell him when I do so he can be ready for it, but he doesn't get that I sometimes need to and don't want anyone there afterwards.

private

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

He might need a little time to figure that out.

Re: private

[browning-baby.livejournal.com]

Mmm. Yeah.

Come on. Pick a spot so you can beat me up.

private

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

Outside the forest down by the Range. It's out of the way.

private

[browning-baby.livejournal.com]

And in the snow. A good workout.

I'll be there in ten.

[ooc: Shall we assume they happily pounded on each other? XD]

private

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

Mm.

I'll be there.

[ooc; sure if you want!]

[bigfreakinshot.livejournal.com]

Hey, hey, man. Don't need to tell me twice. I don't wanna be their dinner or nothin' instead.

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

Okay, just checking.

Could you feed them? I might be out here a little longer than I thought.

[bigfreakinshot.livejournal.com]

Yeah, sure, no problem. As long as it'll make 'em stop lookin' at me like I'm dinner, I'm cool with that.

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

They should leave you alone once they get the fish. Just make sure there's no bones in it.

[bigfreakinshot.livejournal.com]

I'll take your word for it, Spikey.
