I don't know.

[She keeps catching on that dream of his she was in, and she exhales. She doesn't want this plastered all over the network. Just the thought of it makes her uncomfortable.]

I don't want to tell anyone.

[meteorrains]

Then we won't.

[It wasn't as if anyone had seen or heard anything. They could practically tell everyone what ever they chose and they wouldn't know any better.]

We got trapped in the tunnels.

[powersouls]

Trapped in the tunnels. Okay. Right.

[There's another short pause.]

Cloud? Do you know if you... lost anything?

[meteorrains]

[A lie, but a believable one. As long as they both stuck to it, as long as neither one told another single soul, then the secret would remain safe.

There's a moment's hesitation, another deep intake of breath before he speaks.]

Yeah. I did.

[powersouls]

What was it? Are you okay?

[She's repeating herself, but she can't help it. She's just going to be an anxious mess the whole day.]

[meteorrains]

[Well prepare yourself, Tifa, because him telling you is definitely not going to make that any better.]

I'll be fine, Tifa. I just can't feel anything.

[powersouls]

[Yep, it definitely didn't.]

You can't feel anything? Anything at all?

[meteorrains]

[Figures.]

Nothing. Not the tablet, not my gloves. Just the cold.

[powersouls]

Oh...

[She bites her lip, shifting in place.]

I'm sorry, Cloud, I... Are you sure you're okay?

[meteorrains]

[They're apologizing to each other an awful lot for two people who just got murdered together.]

I've been through worse. I'll be fine. I just - wish you were here.

[powersouls]

[That's what they do.]

I know. I'll be there soon, okay? And... we can talk as much as you want. Everything will be alright.

[meteorrains]

[It's almost believable when she says it. Almost.]

Sure you won't get tired of me?

[powersouls]

[She smiles, small but there.]

Of course not. I could never get tired of you.

[meteorrains]

Is that a challenge?

[Good to know he didn't lose that dorky sense of humor.]

[powersouls]

[It is good to know. It's comforting.]

Should we make another bet?

[meteorrains]

Just name the terms.
