Who: Angeal and Cloud!
What: Angeal is looking for Apple seeds in town and runs into Cloud, who is still a pony.
When: 11/3
Where: In town
Rating: F for frandship

Following the suggestion of his friend Ammy, Angeal has taken to the town to look for some Banora Apple seeds. He hadn't actually been aware of the fact things could come over from home at all, but to find to such was interesting. And while he couldn't seem to find exactly what he was looking for today, it is interesting to see things that are similar from home- and some, very few, that he can spot that are just that.

With no luck on the Banora apples, Angeal takes a moment to step inside a store to pick up a few more cleaning supplies for the Buster Sword, intent on heading back to the castle after that.]

[Being a pony... it wasn't so... bad...

...

...

Lies.

It totally sucked.

He had tried to deal with it by: getting angry, getting upset, ignoring it, accepting it, and nothing seemed to work! He was completely stuck on it, and he had no idea if he was going to be back to his normal self again... It had just been too long.

In an attempt to take his mind off it, he went to take a walk to the town. The affluence of residents was definitely lower around here than trying to chill anywhere else around the castle, and his room was starting to smell funny... It, and his owner, needed air.

So there is the pony, wandering around, looking for more places to drag Zack at some point for food exploring when he came across to a very interesting store.

In all his time at Paradisa, he hadn't really sat down to clean his sword thoroughly, at first it didn't seem to need it, it was basically clean from good use, but after six months of not being wielded for real battle, it was starting to get "dusty".

Pies and pizzas would have to wait. Cloud enters the store and the first thing that faces is his sword... Turns to look over his back and, nope, his is still there. That can only mean one thing, or two... With this height he can't really tell!]

... Zack?

[It takes Angeal some time to debate on what he wants, use to only the best for his sword and still wanting that now, even though here, there are only very rare chances for use of it. But his sword has always been much more than a weapon- a reminder, a promise to himself and his family about the things he should never forget.

Angeal had strayed from that a little, he reflects, but in this place, he had time to make up for it. But first, there is something to break him out of his thoughts. Turning, even though it isn't his name being called, Angeal spots a familiar pony and gives him a smile, even though... Well.]

Hey, Cloud. [Not Zack, obviously, though it was a hard thing to tell from behind, when they were so similar.] What brings you out here?

[Things between the two of them have always been... awkward, slightly, but that won't stop Angeal from greeting the other like a friend.]

[Aw man... He screwed up. He can't really hold his surprise when he realizes his mistake.

... Had Angeal had yet to find how awkward were things for real between them both... ]

I... was going to get stuff for my sword.

[Hey it was a common one around here, and Angeal doesn't seem to mind at all... He doesn't know about that little incident, after all.]

Oh really? I was picking up the same. This stuff is better than what you could wish for from the castle. [He shifts to the side a little bit so Cloud can come up to the counter... Which is still a little high in pony form, but hey.]

Is it? [He hadn't wished for anything for it, so he couldn't tell. Also, leave his pony height alone... He's one awesome pony and with all this free time, he finally learned how to use those little wings. He flaps them a few times and hovers at the counter's level.]

... What would you recommend? [Hey, he's asking for advice! Maybe he actually cares more about that sword.]

[Wow good for you Cloud! He never quite figured that out...

Anyway, Angeal shifts over, popping the lid off the small container the cashier had just brought him to show the other.]

The Buster's done really well with this one right here, it's what I've been using. It doesn't last for very long though, [But, with a chuckle.] Or I just work on it more often than it really needs, even with the quietness around here.

[He's use to making sure his precious sword looks like new every chance he gets. It was still the same here.]

[Not going to lie... Flying is tiring as hell, specially while carrying the Buster. He starts hovering lower and lower until he gets to the floor... He keeps his cool face because he can't show weakness around this guy (or anyone, really). Maybe he's just looking at other things...]

I'll get that one then.

[He is a pleased to hear that from the other, especially since it was for a sword so similar to his own. Perhaps more than Cloud even knows, but that isn't something to have a discussion about now, not while Zack and Cloud were still figuring things out... No matter how curious Angeal was.]

You'll be glad for it. [Not that it would be easy to work with as a pony... but well, he had to change back sometime. ] Do you want me to carry your bag?

[Because well, you don't exactly have hands Cloud...]

...

[Well damn, he hadn't thought of that little detail...]

...

...

Sure.

[Hey, he is just trying to be helpful! Angeal just grins a little bit and takes the bag with his own, heading out with Cloud back out of the building.]

So, any... changes about that? Did you figure out why you are stuck yet?

Because the castle does what it wants? [How should he know?]

[A bare hint of a chuckle at that. Not at you Cloud, he promises.] You can say that again. I've seen some crazy things before, but never quite in the way as I have here.

Crazy things? [Okay, that piqued his curiosity. They are from the same place after all... or are they?]

Well, that is putting it lightly. [Things not as light hearted as he had seen here, but crazy, for lack of a better word, in general.] ShinRa's labs can be about as bad as Wutai, sometimes.

[It's really the first time he's spoken about ShinRa to Cloud, and the distaste is somewhat evident in his tone.]
