“…huh?”
she was shaken out of her stupor by zack’s /lovely/ greeting of immediately yelling at her. she wasn’t surprised, but this second reunion wasn’t seeming to be as full of weird emotion as the last. but that made sense, because she’d apparently been hurting him.
oh, yeah. the pulling thing. had it hurt him too? she almost felt a little guilty for trying to walk away just to see what happened–it had hurt quite a bit–but really, thinking back on the things she’d seen him live through…
“yeah, it was me.” her voice showed no sympathy for him. “i thought you were tougher than that, though.” she just stared blankly, fully expecting him to nag at her more; but she didn’t care. it was typical of him, she was used to it.
really, she was kind of glad he was his usual self like this.
and she was glad he was her partner, too. fate seemed to have worked in her favor again. could nothing part them? that was yet to be known to her; but she hoped nothing could.
“…anyways. did you just get here? i didn’t feel anything until just before i ran into you again,” she didn’t know if he was just as confused as she was, or if he remembered any more than she did. or if he was as frustrated by not knowing it as she was. and considering how many things frustrated him, it was likely.
“ But I ain’t a punching bag y’know? Even I can feel pain. Is that sadistic woman gettin’ to you or some shit? ” Zack growled back, the all familiar testy feeling with this brat boiling up inside his chest. Soon, he backed away, expelling out a rather exaggerated sigh and ran his fingers through his hair. Despite how easy it was for Ray to hit his buttons, he couldn’t help but briefly flash his typical grin—one that wasn’t for killing.
“ Somethin’ like that. Got here, paired with you and that’s it so far, but, ” he swung the scythe over his shoulder, scanning their surroundings since he didn’t have the time before. Surprisingly, Zack was deep in thought, but any signs of wit coming from the man shattered as soon as an unholy screech left his mouth. “ aaaAAGGHH!! My brain’s ‘bout to EXPLODE! Hey—you’re good at this stuff, do somethin’! ”
It was safe to say that everything he was told, flew out of his ear now.
