[ There was clearly a struggle, that much Reno could see. Something that ate at Zack and kept him at odds between the two of them--between himself and Aerith. He had his own thoughts as to why, but knew he wouldn't have the whole picture.
He shifted his weight from one leg to the other, arms folding loosely over his chest as he watched Sephiroth round the corner again, letting the Infantrymen rattle off a list of completed preparations to the elder First.
He brushed off the way hearing Zack say he loved her still had his ribs crushing his chest. That 'but' was a whole conversation for another time, and gave him a little more context to whatever sword was hanging over Zack's head, even if he came no closer to any answer. ]
If something goes wrong, just give us a call, yo. We'll be there. In the mean time just worry about whatever it is you guys from the boonies do. Y'know, like swimming in lakes and worrying if that's algae or a snapping turtle you're feeling.
If you get Sephiroth in the water, you better get photo evidence.
[ He jostled Zack again with his elbow, a thin taunt to veil the way he brushed up against the SOLDIER to get a quick goodbye in with all the eyes around. Sephiroth answered with assurances that the weather wouldn't permit for any such excursions, and called for his teammate to be ready to head out. ]
