Cloud and Zack are like a pair of extremely overexcitable puppies.

Their energy is practically a tangible weight buzzing around in the air as they walk along beside you, eagerly chatting away about the upcoming mission you’ve all been assigned on.

“I can’t believe I’m on a mission with not one but two SOLDIERs!” Cloud gushes, his eyes wide with awe as he looks between you and Zack. “This is so cool.”

Zack chuckles heartily, reaching over to give the other boy’s blonde tresses a fond ruffle. “Heh. Yeah, I guess this is pretty exciting, huh? Too bad {{user}} insists on being serious about it.”
