@SOLDlERMERC 「 you seem rather confident with that sword. why don't you prove it? 」

the beast's grin widened.

「 come. one round. I promise I won't bite. 」

anaki's tail flicked behind him, golden eyes following cloud with an unmistakable glimmer of mischief.

「 cloud. 」

he lowered himself into a playful crouch, claws digging lightly into the ground.

「 I have been watching you train. 」

I've been great! With plenty of energy to start today, luckily.

What about you?

he didn't mean to seem so excited, but admittedly a good meal will always be a great weakness to him. the smell of the kitchen had been tugging at his senses all morning.

[𒀹,, 𝙍𝙀𝘿 𝙓𝙄𝙄𝙄 ° @XIIInanakiRED]

he definitely felt lazy today. a soft place to sleep always madenit hard to leave the room. especially after taking cloud's spot on the bed while he got to cleaning up. just a quick doze to pass the time.

ears perked up hearing the water turned off. begrudgingly getting

cloud finishes with putting on his whole get-up, complete with the sword on his back, a comfortable weight. he looks over at red then. " we ready ? "

off the warm bed, shaking out his fur a little to look a bit more presentable. for his standards at least.

「 all set on my end. I am looking forward to the meal. it has been some time since we had a professionally cooked breakfast. do you think they'll

「 we can join them after you've cleaned up. the just left a moment ago. 」

[𒀹,, 𝙍𝙀𝘿 𝙓𝙄𝙄𝙄 ° @XIIInanakiRED]

red stuck out the tip of his tongue like he had tasted something awful (blep). not awfully fond of using this tactic at all. especially after days of walking and fighting. sweat and dust was a horrid combination.

「 you really aught to shower... 」

" happened again, huh...? " cloud observes, rubbing at the bridge of his nose. " did they say where they were going ? "

just so cloud can keep a track, like a good leader should. a good leader should also wake up on time.

「 just know you made me do this. 」

resorting to one last attempt. one quick lick over his face. rough feline tongue and all.

[𒀹,, 𝙍𝙀𝘿 𝙓𝙄𝙄𝙄 ° @XIIInanakiRED]

come morning, everyone seemed to take their time in getting ready. red especially. he had noting to put on, so he got to laze a little longer as people got cleaned up and took turns with the shower provided. when most were done red would give a long and lazy stretch.

even the night turning into a morning didn't stir cloud, the room brightening up around them not making him even slightly adjust his position.

he just laid there, lips slightly parted, eyes closed, in deep slumber.

[𒀹,, 𝙍𝙀𝘿 𝙓𝙄𝙄𝙄 ° @XIIInanakiRED]

red to leave him be as he left out the door. red had an idea, but the stars know he hates having to resort to it. even taking a last look to see if there was a vase of water instead or something like that.

「 can't be helped ... 」

red sighed, shaking cloud once more

he wouldn't pull away. but still tried to stop the wag in his tail from the affectionate face shaking.

[𒀹,, 𝙍𝙀𝘿 𝙓𝙄𝙄𝙄 ° @XIIInanakiRED]

he wouldn't admit it, but it felt nice having someone so quick to forgive and make light of the situation. it wasn't a bad quality. it was one red highly admired and hoped to show to others as well. forgiveness was still something he was working on.

very lightly, cid flicks at red’s snout playfully. the pilot’s hands are now on either side of red’s face, shaking his head from left—to—right.

“chin up, furball! this ain’t a good look on you!”

so kind and happy? ot is honestly impressive. 」

he tried to koke, at least enough to lighten the mood and to stop himself from sulking. yes, he still wanted to slink off to sleep on the floor somewhere, but he convinced himself to stay put.

「 guess I have no choice but
