[It isn't pleasant by the long shot, but there is relief from having it removed. And he is thankful for that... and for Zack casting healing magic because there was no way he would have gone to the infirmary.]

Considering how he acted I doubt this will be our only altercation. There will come a time when I will kill him.

[He turns slightly to look back at Zack when he says this. It's more of a promise than a warning. He fully intends to kill the man the next time.]

[ Zack sighs as he starts cleaning up the mess. ]

You know I'm not gonna just let that happen if I can help it.

[ It doesn't matter if people come back to life here. He doesn't want Sephiroth to kill the other guy OR vice versa. ]

Lark and Jon are gonna go find that guy and see what he has to say for himself. I believe you didn't provoke him, but I am curious why you think he went off on you.

[ Sephiroth doesn't have exactly have a congenial personality, but being a dick isn't a reason to attack someone. ]

He seemed offended at the location I chose. I told him it was not real, but that did not seem to matter nor did the chances I gave for him to leave unscathed. Unless you intend to watch my movements at all times, you will not be able to stop me.

[He folds his arms already contemplating how exactly he plans to kill the man next time they cross paths.]

[ The location... Zack's eyes narrow a little, but for once, he chooses not to ask. ]

Well, I sat on John for most of October so I don't see why I can't sit on somebody else -- especially since I'm not paired right now.

[ Dracula graduated so as far as he's concerned, he can float where he needs to.

There's a pause, and Zack is about to say something more on the topic...except he notices something. And frowns. ]

...have you been eating like you're supposed to?

[Sephiroth scoffs at both of Zack's statements. For one he doesn't believe anyone would be able to stop him. Two he can be patient. Zack may have the time now, but he won't forever.

As for the second part, he turns to face him.]

I do so when necessary.

[When he remembers. Which isn't often.]

[ Zack gives Sephiroth an Unimpressed Look. ]

Sephiroth — you’ve lost weight.

I know you probably aren’t used to it - I had to adjust to it too - but you do actually need to eat three times a day.

I eat, Zack. Concern yourself with other things.

[The last thing he wants is Zack of all people bothering him about something like that.]

[ Sorry, Sephiroth. He’s already making a mental note to bother you. ]

Okay, well, since this whole thing is probably going to turn into a he-said-he-said, you mind giving me an outline of what happened from start to finish?

[ Now that, you know, there isn’t a razor embedded in Sephiroth’s back. ]

[Zack is going to keep asking isn't he?]

All you need to know is I gave multiple chances to walk away. He attacked first, and I did not retaliate until the end. I told him that fighting served no purpose and what he saw was not real. Had I not ended the fight he would have kept escalating it.

[ Zack scowls. ]

I mean all of that is helpful, but it would be more helpful to have an outline because then I have a better case for other people leaving you alone about this.

[ But fine, whatever, see if he tries to cover for your ass again. ]

Did the razor happen first or the rope burn?

[His pride is already brused don't make it worse, Zack.]

First. He charged, I took to the sky. Then that happened, in what I assumed was an attempt to bring me down. After is when is when I said that none of it was real. He backed towards the well, but his aggression burned bright. I gave another chance to cease the pointless battle, but he choose to attack again. The rope that time.

[He folds his arms again]

That is when I retaliated.

[ He’s just trying to get the clearest picture he can!! And it’s not a pretty one, all things considered.

He puffs out a soft breath. ]

Thank you.

[ He could ask for more, but that’s the most important bit — at least to show that Sephiroth wasn’t the aggressor.

Finally, his gaze drops to the coat. ]

Do you, uh…want help fixing that up? Or something else to wear in the meantime?

[ He doesn’t think he’s ever even seen Sephiroth wear anything else, but it’s worth offering just in case. ]

[Sephiroth looks from Zack to the jacket and then back again.]

Do you even have that sort of skill set, Zack?

[Can he fix clothing?]

[ Does he look like he learned to sew?? Pls. ]

Nnnooo, but I could find someone who does?

If that is what you wish to do...

[He's not going to say no]

Well, gee, don’t act all excited or anything.

[ Why does he volunteer himself for these things…

He sighs. ]

If you wanna go wash all the blood off, the bathroom’s over there.

Do I ever show excitement, Zack?

[Yeah, that's probably a good idea. He'd rather not be walking around with his own blood on him. Too many vampires and other strange beings.

He gives Zack a brief glance before heading over there.]

Whatever.

[ He’s sure Sephiroth can find the extra towels and whatever else he needs in there so he’s just going to wait out here on the couch, thanks. ]

[He comes out after awhile. Don't worry, Zack he's not naked or anything.]

What do you intend to do about what happened?

[ He is very thankful for the lack of nakedness. As for the question, Zack looks up from his phone and sighs. ]

I’m going to meet with Lark and Jon, compare notes with them, pull in the other guy’s Warden if he’s got one, and come up with a plan.

Ah yes, because you must get the other side before you believe mine.

[Huff. He makes a small gesture with his hand when he continues.]

Regardless I imagine you want me to stay put somewhere while you get this resolved.

[ Wow, Seph, are you actually offended? Zack snorts a little. ]

Believe it or not, I think you’ve been a hundred percent honest about what happened.

[ For a variety of reasons, but he’s not going to touch on that right now. ]

I still need to know what he said, though, so I have better idea why this happened and what to do about it.

But yeah, if you wouldn’t mind hanging out in your cabin for a bit while we talk, I’d appreciate it.

Lies I imagine. Or at the very least I doubt the full truth. He was far too adamant about the fight for that.

[Fine, he'll go sulk in his cabin for awhile.

Before he leaves he gestures towards his jacket that's probably (?) on the couch]

I want that back after you find someone to fix it.

You'll get it back.

[ He is...admittedly not sure when, but he will work on getting it fixed!! ]

Do you...have other shirts over there?

No.

[That's all Sephiroth says before going to head out and over to his own cabin.]
