[Angeal is sitting outside feeding a bunch of hungry little turtles who are almost climbing over each other in an effort to get closer to the man. For whatever reason, he can't seem to get the little bits of chopped apples from the small knife in his hand into their mouths fast enough. His pup is by his side barking excitedly and wagging his tail at the creatures that were coming up out of the water to feed. However, he's tied to a tree a little further back so he can't actually reach anything.

The former First class' head shakes, and then he looks back at the pup. In short order he realizes the camera is on.

Well then.]

I checked around in the market and it seems that no one's heard of peanut butter. Is that not something that's available here?

Comments

[legacy_blade]

[Yeah, that seems pretty fair.]

Ummmmm no? I never really considered it.

[heavenlyhonour]

Then you might want to learn. Start with something simple and work your way up.

[There was a smile.]

You could consider it training.

[legacy_blade]

[He hums as he considers it. There's plenty of questions there. Ones he doesn't have answers to.]

I suppose I will have to.

[heavenlyhonour]

So where are you planning to start or how are you planning to start?

[Please tell him you have a plan Zack.]

[legacy_blade]

[What's a plan? Zack frowns and crosses his arms over his chest.]

I don't know. I'm still trying to come up with a plan. Aerith said she would help if she could. And I've gotta balance all of that while trying to cheer up Spike, because man, kid got grumpy with age.

[Not that he doesn't get why. Zack had gotten a bit more cynical too. Jaded after losing Angeal, cynical and a touch dark after the Nibelheim reactor.]

[heavenlyhonour]

You could ask around at different places you want to work, see if they need help or would provide training.

[He figures this answer is no but he was going to ask anyway.]

You want me to come with you?

[legacy_blade]

Oh man, that's a good idea. The seeing if they need help.

[Wait, did he just...]

Dude, I don't need a chaperone. I'm not a kid anymore, right?

[heavenlyhonour]

[Angeal smirked as Zack complimented him. But then it turned to a good natured shrug.]

I didn't say you were a kid.

[Even if he acted like one at times. And it took death to show the Former First Class that they balanced each other. Angeal slowed Zack down and Zack lit a fire under Angeal's ass when he needed it, not that he'd ever admit that.]

But look around, and see what you can do.

[legacy_blade]

[Zack nods and offers a smile back.]

I'm going to. Thanks for the advice, Angeal. I'm going to get on it right away.

[heavenlyhonour]

[That's more like his pup but Angeal doesn't say so.]

I'm sure you'll find something.

[After all someone as kind and handsome as Zack was, and considering what happened to him back home, fate couldn't be that cruel to him twice.]

[legacy_blade]

And you'll make me victory cookies when I succeed?

[heavenlyhonour]

All the cookies you want, and I'll cook dinners for you. Someone's gotta feed you Soldier.

[It would be his only easy way to spend time with his pup. It was hard being Zack's equal in rank sometimes because Angeal needed to be needed and that was why he took the man as a boy. He lost Genesis to Sephiroth and was tired of being their balance. So he went looking for someone who would need and depend on him and learn the right way to do things.]

[legacy_blade]

[Cook dinners for him? Zack's shocked by the suggestion, but he's definitely pleased to hear there's some home cooked food that might be offered to him.]

Awesome. Mom always banned me from the kitchen. I wasn't very good at it.

[heavenlyhonour]

Just make sure you're on time Zack.

[legacy_blade]

You ever know me not to be, Angeal?

[heavenlyhonour]

Just reminding you in case you get distracted.

[There's a smile on his face.]

[legacy_blade]

[That earns a chuckle from him, and he nods.]

That's not going to happen.

[Totally going to happen]

[heavenlyhonour]

[There was a good natured snicker.]

I'm going to remind you that you said that.

[legacy_blade]

Awwwwww, now you're sounding like you want to set me up for disaster.

[heavenlyhonour]

I wouldn't do that.

[Considering all he'd put Zack through before, he wasn't trying to do anything of that nature.]

[legacy_blade]

Well, okay then. I'll agree.

[heavenlyhonour]

That reminds me though, I should figure out what I'm making for dinner tonight.

[legacy_blade]

Well, you get to that. I've got research to do. And a tavern to get dinner at.

[heavenlyhonour]

[That statement somehow bugged him.]

Wait. Why don't you tell me what you're in the mood to have and I'll see if I can make it.

[legacy_blade]

Oh man, do you mean it? That'd be awesome.

[Of course now Zack has to come up with something.]

Any chance you're good at doing meatloaf?
