[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.

[Oh. If only he knew...]

I think you have time to figure out what that is. [And if she's honest, as much as she tries not to think about it, it's unlikely they'll always stay here. But... maybe she can find a way to save him? If she could, she'd want to, of course.] Right now, we have a lot of lost time to make up for. I hope you're ready to pay up. I've been collecting interest for quite a while.

[Honestly, he's looking forward to knowing how the years have actually shaped her. He's pretty much the same as the day he went to Nibelheim.

Which, is not quite true, but it's true enough. He's managed to mature over the years, but he hasn't let it make him angry or cruel.]

Maybe, but I'm not going to let things slip away like last time.

[He doesn't have any time left on Gaia, so he's going to take advantage of what he has here. Especially since Aerith is right here, with him.]

I never expected anything less. Write 'em down and we'll work on them one-by-one, no matter how many more wishes you have.

[She could argue it. Zack didn't let things slip away. It wasn't, she suspects, fully within his control. Even back then, it seems like she understood well enough that things didn't need to be and couldn't be all about her. Or at least, she might have been more understanding where perhaps others in her situation might not have been.]

I think it's better if we're a little spontaneous, don't you? I don't need to write them down. This isn't a to-do list. It's not like we're going shopping. It's less about the what, and more about the whom. Don't care what we're doing. Just that we get this time to be together.

[He might not have let things slip away, but he sure as hell didn't fight back when things went to crap with SOLDIER. He never pushed back against Sephiroth and Lazard. He probably could have left, if it had occurred to him, but it just never did.

He knew he was lucky with Aerith being so understanding back then. Cissnei made it very obvious that she wouldn't have been as much as Aerith was if she was seeing him.]

Alright. I'll defer to you. We'll just do a bunch of things and spend time together. Sounds better to me that way.

Hm... Defer?

[She has to think on that. She isn't sure that's what she wants.]

I don't know about that. If you say things like that where someone else can hear, people really are going to think I'm a princess or something. I want us to stand on equal ground. No deferring. If you need some convincing, I'm pretty good at nagging! Still.

[In fact, she's probably better at it now.]
