[he gives the fingercuff a brief, annoyed glare before sighing. A weak smile twitches onto his face]

You and me both. I thought I'd be angry at him. [even knowing Sephiroth was here and hadn't gone through any of that, Zack didn't think he'd be able to control his temper. Maybe the situation itself helped some]

[necessarycruelties]

I've only spoken with him once since my arrival in Nippon. [ He pauses, thinking back to that odd conversation ] He's... the same Sephiroth I recall from his time in SOLDIER, the odd First Class I saw in passing, rarely worked with.

[ But it's difficult to just forget everything that he's experienced, the things that Sephiroth claims he hasn't experienced yet. It's near impossible to forget the way Nibelheim burned, the loss of Zack's life (even though he's standing right here, connected to Tseng with the fingercuff), and then the things Tseng is yet to experience that Rufus shared with him. How does he look this man in the eye, share a drink with him while knowing that he'll eventually have Masamune thrust through his chest. ]

I'll continue to keep my distance. [ He looks down at their hands, gives a small tug at his finger, trying to free it to no avail. ] I can't do much at the moment, after all.

I don't think you have to keep your distance, just be careful if you're keeping an eye on things. [not that he has to say it, but Zack feels like he should anyway. Maybe for some peace of mind, maybe because he knows exactly what would happen if Sephiroth found any of the Turks bringing their work to Jikan, for lack of a better way to put it. Even with the time differences he doesn't doubt someone is still on the clock, more or less.

But mostly, he likes that everyone's getting along, more or less. He'd like it to stay that way]

He's not hard to get along with or anything. The only problem I ever had was - y'know, mission stuff.

[he shrugs, glancing down at their fingers again with a scowl] Is none this working? Seriously?
