Since Zell was already smiling, he couldn't grin at Squall's words about wanting to get back to Garden, but his eyes shined with a similar excitement. Not because he was losing energy as quickly as Squall was, but because he knew he'd be spending the night in Squall's room again. Zell would always be excited when they spent the night together. Since his expression couldn't really reply to Squall's words, he moved his foot to touch Squall's under the table, acknowledging his words.

Before he could say anything in reply to them also, Squall's stomach made a small noise. He wouldn't laugh! But he did look away for a second while he controlled it. When he looked back, Squall had a cute little blush to his cheeks and Zell's smile became a little more loving.

He really liked all these expression he got to see on Squall. "Yeah, it is. Nice and quiet too, just like you wanted!" He replied, before speaking a little more quietly. "I'm excited to get back to Garden too. In your room, right?" His foot moved slightly against the bottom of Squall's leg, unable to really touch him over the table.
