[He breaks off. He's said to others before that Zack had been through too much, carried too much and shouldn't be expected to do more.
He'd meant it. Adding to it ... on purpose. Knowingly, especially with the things some other version of him did in the future, ravaging Zack's dearest friends and lovers. Making it worse would be base cruelty at best. This was Zack's afterlife, his happy ending, it's SUPPOSED to be better here than being dead.
Zack shouldn't be having to deal with the problems of separate worlds. After everything he'd been through he deserved peace.]
[He does not. Socializing after all of this would be a struggle at best, and his ability to pretend everything is fine is not as good in person as it could be over relics. But that might be too obvious, upsetting Zack further.]
...Right now?
[How long did he need to re-establish a good mask of not being bothered? If his failure to kill Hojo never arose, he might be able to.]
Doesn't have to be now, or even today. [This conversation got pretty intense, and Sephiroth only just returned. It's an olive branch at best.] It can be whenever you want. Just wanted to let you know it's an option.
[Not right now then. If Zack got himself a dog, or someone else at Zack's house did, then it would stand to reason that his own 'dog' would want to play.. and Casimir was not good at hiding their changes in mood. Canine body language was somethign they had no experience disguising.
Maybe in a couple of days though, it could at least be a reasonable try..]
Give me some time to catch up with the school things I missed.
