Final Fantasy VII

"She does not like me" Cloud replied.



Iris smiled she liked it when Tseng was like this.

Arianna chuckled 'i dont even need the spirits to tell me that she does, i can see it myself'



Tseng sat back 'what would you like to do'

Cloud sighed to himself.


Iris smiled, "It is your home Tseng"

Arianna moved 'do you not like her too?'



Tseng smiled 'but you are my guest'

Cloud shook his head.


Iris smiled, "I am content like this... though maybe soon you should drive me home before it gets too late"

'you need to clear it up with her then' Arianna stated playing with her hair again


'i can drive you home whenever you wish' Tseng smiled 'whatever time you like'

Cloud sighed, "I will do"


Iris smiled, "I do not wish to trouble you"

Arianna sighed softly not knowing what to say now


Tseng moved closer to her 'you never trouble me.. ever'

Cloud was quiet.



Iris smiled and placed her hand over his, "I am glad"

Arianna moved 'im going to go up and see the battle, i wonder if i can help these people'



Tseng smiled 'you bring me.. nothing.. but joy' he whispered leaning closer to her, he was a natural flirt

Cloud looked up, "I will escort you"



Iris chuckled, "Thats a good thing" she whispered feeling her cheeks heat up a little.

Arianna pulled on her cloak 'we need to climb up to the top level... where the Condor nests'



Tseng stroked her cheek 'always.....my dear'

Cloud nodded in response.


Iris smiled looking at the time, "Maybe its time we depart... you need to get some sleep"

Arianna moved up the ladders to reach the lookout guard on the top


'are you sure you want to? one more drink maybe?' Tseng smirked

Cloud moved with her.



Iris smiled, "I am a real lightweight another drink could make me drunk" she chuckled.

Arianna stoppped at the top looking out of the window

'the battle is over for tonight, we made it just, they will be back' the guard stated



Tseng smirked 'then i must insist you do have another drink'

Cloud looked up quietly.



Iris chuckled, "I guess i may have another... though i do hope you are not trying to get me drunk" she teased.

Arianna looked up at the man 'can i go out there? to the Condor?'

'its dangerous' the guard looked out the window 'but i wont stop you'


Tseng moved passing her another drink leaning in close 'not at all' his voice was laced thick with charm

"I will protect her" Cloud stated.


Iris chuckled sipping the drink it was strong for her and she knew it would not take long until she was drunk.

Arianna looked at him 'you need not worry, i will be fine' she moved to the door pulling her hood up, it was raining

the guard watched them both 'stay away from the edges, its a long way down, and the bottom of the hill is where Shinra soldiers sleep'


Tseng smiled watching her drinking his own drink, he was just trying to be playful, he wasnt actually trying to get her drunk

Cloud nodded and followed after her.



Iris chuckled she had not drunk many more than her sip, "Tseng it is best that i do not finish this drink it is rather strong for me" she smiled placing it down.

Arianna moved stopping near the giant golden bird she patted its beak gently 'dont worry, im not here to harm you' usually people wouldnt go near the Condor


'then i shall get you something more appropriate' Tseng moved to make her something else

Cloud just watched her keeping guard.



Iris grabbed his arm and pulled him back down to her, "I am fine" she smiled.

Arianna closed her eyes 'i see' she whispered 'i wont tell anyone' this bird wasnt a Condor at all


'are you sure?' Tseng smiled 'i cant have you going thirsty'

Cloud stayed quiet watching her.


Iris nodded, "I am sure" she lent against him closing her eyes.
