My... closet?

Sir, how did you even get in here with absolutely no one noticing? *When*?


[A SOLDIER, never mind Sephiroth, down here would (should!) definitely have drawn attention!]
supersoldier: (07)

hello again!

The how’s and when’s don’t matter, Cadet. I can be more clandestine than most think.
backwatertrooper: (gesturing - um what)

hello~

[personal profile] backwatertrooper 2019-12-20 09:02 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't doubt THAT it's just...

never mind. Why did you leave your SOLDIER belt and a materia in here..?


[Could have been any SOLDIER's belt of course, but the crossed straps are obvious.]
supersoldier: (31)

[personal profile] supersoldier 2019-12-20 09:09 pm (UTC)(link)
The materia is for you. You’ve been in need of a mastered one, haven’t you?

The belt... I’ll need that back.
backwatertrooper: (huh what - confused talking)

Sephiroth...

Thank you. They never let us use mastered ones, no matter how good we get with them.

Of course. Should I... um, where do you want me to bring it? Should I just give it to Zack? And what was the logic to leaving it here? Or were you just dumping things you thought I might have use of, beside the materia?

[Look, last night was a blur and the sort that even the great Sephiroth himself doesn't quite remember. Must have been one heck of a party, or something, who knows, but-- Well. The materia was meant to be a gift; the belt... not so much.

How to say that while remaining professional?]


It was left there by mistake. Last night was a very long one.

At any rate, you can return it to Zack if you see him. Or myself, if our paths cross before then.
backwatertrooper: (talking - just listen for a moment ok)

[personal profile] backwatertrooper 2019-12-20 10:18 pm (UTC)(link)
It certainly sounds like it was, Sir.

[He will refrain from saying what he's thinking, at least... directly.]

I feel like it might be equal chance if I see you or Zack first today, if last night was that long. But I'll... uncross the straps when I take it with me? Everyone will think it's Zack's, then.

[How very perceptively considerate of you, Cloud.]

You can do what you want, but that might be best to avoid any questions thrown your way.
backwatertrooper: (uncertain - um sir..?)

[personal profile] backwatertrooper 2019-12-21 11:53 am (UTC)(link)
I mean... yeah. I don't know what anyone would think, if they saw a cadet carrying your belt, but I also wouldn't want to cause trouble for you if they saw a cadet carrying your belt. So I'll uncross the straps.

I don't have anything scheduled until after lunch, so if you have a moment until then, I could wait by the tree on level 61?
