[Video] Continuing to help out

[cartierfirstclass]

[Zack's pretty decent with tech since he needed so much of it for his previous job, so the charms are fairly easy for him to get used to. He just hasn't had much use of it since his arrival.

However, his conversation with Cloud hasn't left his mind so he wants to share it with the others.]

Uh, so, my name's Zack Fair. Before I got here, I was part of an organization that did a lot of fighting and protecting. It's been sort of peaceful here, but I know there're monster attacks that happen outside of town and a few of them have gotten pretty close from time to time.

And, well, some people weren't so helpful during our food shortage and the trading trip with the people of Rumpitur. If we want to keep good relations with the native people of Aldrip in particular and Expiation as a whole, we should probably be more involved in trying to keep the peace. I'm not the best person to run something like that, but I'm all for helping if someone else could. Guess it just depends on how many others are interested in helping out with this.

[He rubs at the back of his head, feeling a bit self-conscious as the charm continues to film him.]

I dunno. It was just a thought. If you're up for something like this, let me know. We can talk.

She's important to me too. Very.

Oh, uh, I'm at the inn. I think the floor below you two.

[mercedis]

You should talk to her about it, but if you want to stay with us... I don't think it's a bad idea.

Or, I mean, we can swap rooms for awhile. Maybe it's good to have two just in case.

[cartierfirstclass]

That's something we'll have to talk about in person later.

I'm not going to take your place, Cloud. Don't be silly.

[mercedis]

Sounds good. Let me know what you guys decide.

[cartierfirstclass]

That includes you too!

This isn't SOLDIER. You don't have to follow orders anymore or let anyone else make decisions for you.

[mercedis]

I'm not. It's okay.

She's important to you, and you're important to her, so I just meant... After you guys talk, we can decide what to do.

[cartierfirstclass]

Right. So, I'm going to say this right now and I'll repeat it again if you need to hear it again.

We—you and I—are friends. You don't remember it, but I do. So, no decisions are going to be made until we all talk. Aerith and me, we talk. Maybe not about the big stuff just yet, but we talk. So, you, me and her, we're all going to have to figure out what we're doing here.

And I don't just mean to kill time, okay.

[mercedis]

What do you mean, what we're doing here?

[cartierfirstclass]

I mean what our purpose is here, as opposed to being back on Gaia. I don't for one second believe that me being here is anything good.

[mercedis]

I think you're good. So you being here...is good because it's you.

Don't know what they have planned, or why they did it, but.

[cartierfirstclass]

Thanks. I'm not sure that everything I've done is good, but I don't think anyone can say that they've never messed up either.

I don't know why I'm here, Cloud, but I'm not about to waste what I've been given. Even if it's come with some sort of weird caveat.
