"I can. If what you say is true, then why don't you realize her side? They did all this and yet, you are here at what looks like chummy enough to share a drink. It may not be true, yet that is what it looks like. There is that reason, and the fact that you left for months without any sort of real conact with her, then show up with them in toe, and fly off again. IT looks bad, it really looks bad. It shows what kind of man you are. the kind of man who cant move on, and who has to force comfortin memories of the past, and whats worse, memories while believeing yourself to be something your not. That is why she is angry, and that is why you deserve a good whoopiong, if nothing else to bring you back to reality."

Cloud had tried to take this boy's lectures in stride. But this was just going too far. "Can't move on? If I couldn't move on, they'd all be dead already. There was a time I swore I'd kill anything I saw with silver hair." He stopped himself and took a deep breath. "I don't like them, and I don't trust them. They know I'll cut them down if they make one false move. But until then, we're all stuck together, so we might as well stop trying to kill one another." He picked up and sheathed his sword, ready to walk out on all this nonsense. "You know, I didn't ask to be included in any of this. I'm not perfect, Sin. I don't see where you're in any position to judge me, and for the record, I'm god**n tired of people expecting miracles of me." He stopped with his hand on the infirmary door. "One last question. If I think I'm something I'm not, then what exactly am I really?"

Sin smiled as headed outside past Cloud.
"Worthless, or an escapee of a mental institute."
He headed towards where he was efore, and looked for a different book. He was finally calmed down from the Tifa incident, and back to his old self, mostly at least.

Cloud followed Sin out to the common area, his hand twitching slightly, his jaw set. "And what exactly leads you to that conclusion?"
Reno looked up from the comics sheet of the newspaper he'd found. He nudged Rude. "Uh-oh... it's the 'kill' look, yo."

"Simple. Delusions from living in the past. You are still hung up on Sephiorth and Aeries and are living in the past. Some things change, but mostly it stays the same. The only difference is the world around you stops caring and you become worthless, unable to continue to move on. That, or you lose it and are unable to form any semblance of reality and become a danger to yourself and others around you, just waiting in you dreams as people come to remove you to an institute to keep you safer than usual, and possibly to supply the highest bidder with a steady supply of guinea pigs."
He shrugged and headed by Reno.
"Hey, have you seen the copy of Ender's Game? I didn't see it in the bookshelf."

"I think I'm sitting on it, yo." Reno tossed over the novel. "D**n good one."
Ami got up silently and snatched the book out of the boy's hands. "You're wrong," she said coolly. "Cloud has come farther since I've known him than anybody else in my life. If anybody here is hung up on his past, it's you. Judgemental little prick."
Rude did a double take. He rarely heard Ami take that tone with anyone, let alone call someone a prick.
"In fact, he's come farther than he cares to admit." She glanced over at Cloud. "Haven't you?"
He refused to answer.

Sin laughed loudly, and cracked his neck.
"I don't have a past to speak of. Anyways, why would I want to know about the Shinra Experiments? I don't feel like putting my head in a noose thank you very much. Only thing I wanna know calls for Vincent alone. Sorry toots, you got it wrong."
Sin rolled his shoulders and grabbed the book, plopping into a chair and reading.

"Hey! I'm talking to you!" Ami stormed up and shoved the book aside. "I started out at Cloud's throat just like the rest, but he EARNED my respect. Which is more than I can say for you, you little motormouth."
Reno and Rude looked at each other. "This could get ugly, yo."
"Yeah."
"Let's leave, yo."
"Yeah."
Reno got up to leave and tossed the paper over his shoulder. Of course, it nailed Rude in the face and knocked his shades off.

Sin reached down and tossed the glasses back, and stood up, walking in a circle around her.
"Well, if I am a motormouth, at least I am honest in that I say what I believe to be true."
He smiled and looked at her closely.
"Now then, catch me if you can." He said, giving her a pinch on the cheek and walking out of the room. He hit the corner and ran, heading for the outside, where his claw could keep him safe as he stayed, maybe near the wheels for when the land...

CREAK. CREAK. CREAK.
Samson is so going to kill me. But, I'm smirking nonetheless. Sin is gonna have a heart attack.
She made her way along the ship's side by stabbing her gauntlet blades into the ship's metal hide. The roaring wind buffeted her like nobody's business, and the air up here was thin, but she had the best genetic material Shinra could steal. She wasn't turning back.
"Hey, rude boy?!"
She dangled by her gauntlets just above Sin. She tapped his head with her foot. "You're it!!!" She smirked triumphantly.

He smirked and swung up from his perch, landing on the wing.
"Fine then."
He lept towards the door, and tossed his armor and weapons inside, and cracked his back before going after her, MUCH faster than before. He reached her quickly, and tapped her on the cheek.
"By the way, your it."

She growled with frustration. His speed in getting around on this ship outmatched hers by a long shot. It was like comparing rock climbing to rapelling.
She gritted her teeth and scrambled to catch up. That thingy bas***d! I'll never forgive him for this!
SCRUNCH!
She screamed as a hunk of alloy gave way, bending double, trying to support her weight. It peeled farther and farther away from the side of the ship as she tried to yank her gauntlets free... "SOMEONE HELP!"

Sin swerved one spot, his arm twisting and popping in a grotesque manner. He ignored it and halled back toward her, catching amy as the alloy gave away.
"This game might have to be put on hold."
He made his way back towards the door, still holding onto Ami with his good arm. They reached the door, and Sin began to try and reset his arm as much as possible, or at the least make it face the right way.

She yanked the hatch closed. She slumped to the floor and groaned. "I knew there was a reason why I hate flying."
She looked up at Sin. "I forfeit." She sighed. "OK, thanks for the hand. You just saved my life and all, and that should count for something. But don't go thinking I'll forgive you for getting on Cloud's case just like that." Shakily, she got up. "I'll do that when you tell him you're sorry."
Her hands felt wet- she looked down. "D**n it." They were bleeding.

"Sin smiled slightly as his claw arm crunched. He looked over at her.
"Fat chance about apologizing. He could use a good chewing out... Sorry about the blood on your hands though."
