[ He's normally not a video guy. So surprise surprise! There's a spiky-haired blond sporting soft wolf ears on your feed. A pair of sunglasses are hanging around his collar. ]

Hey everyone. Not that it's my first time using this thing, [ shrug. ] but... I guess I might as well cut to the chase.

My name is Cloud Strife. Haven't ironed out the kinks just yet, but I'm thinking of opening up shop again. Lunatia's pretty big, and I used to run a delivery business back home. So...

[ He's gauging interest. ]

If you got a business or know anyone who does, I can handle your supplies' shipments. Or personal mail and parcels. You name it, we deliver it. [ Speaking of handling large packages, ] That reminds me...

[ Cloud's already standing outside by what appears to be the side of a road. So when he turns the camera... In frame is a monster-sized motorcycle that somehow manages to look sleek at the same time.

Yes. That's his ride. ]

Anybody know of any garages for rent?

I done plenty of that, time ta upgrade.

[ he will do neither as he should or as he's told, don't worry. ]

They're a good way of getting around, so... Have at 'er.

[ that's the spirit ]

[ As Ayer is an observant type, he does notice Cloud's interesting reaction. But he also is quite sensible, so he doesn't ask about it.

When Cloud asks for the address, Ayer nods and mentions it. ]

I'll meet you there.

In that case, I'll give you another lesson next time we spot some carnival games.

[ read: they're probably just gonna play without the aforementioned lessons tbh. ]

Delivery, huh? Could come in useful for Solar Flexus. I'd much rather give my demichroma to local business.

Especially if you tell me what cc that engine is.

[ Weiss doesn't say much either. Not because she's shy, not because she can't decide what to say, but because she's pretty content with just sitting peacefully in a small yoghurt shop without much words being exchanged.

Once she's done, though, she heads back to the counter to ask for her cup to be thrown. She sits back down after that. ]

Thanks for the yoghurt.

[ His fro-yo was starting to melt a little. He's got a couple of bites left of his when she goes to drop her cup off, and by the time she gets back, he's finished. He'll go toss it out later. ]

No problem. [ ... ] But...you still paid for the first one.

[ The one he blew out of her hands, that is. ]

Guess I'll give you an I O U.

I wouldn't say no to another cup another time.

[ Look, it's her favourite food, okay.... ]

[ First the coffee shop and now frozen yoghurt. She's a lowkey enabler. ... or he's that sheltered. ]

Then we're coming back here again.

(Spiky. That one isn't hard to narrow down and she smiles before she can stop herself.)

Your hair does call for it.

(Uh oh; Panty could mean a lot of things by that.)

How do you keep it like that?

Stock up on that Chroma. I come here very, very often.

[ Maybe three times a week... ]

I'd appreciate it. Not exactly rolling in dough, here.

That's a deal, too, then.

I don't suppose you'd throw in a few taste tastings as a favor, would you?

[She just keeps beaming when he notes the difference between the size of the bike, and that of the hopeful young lady with the twig-like arms. Clearly she doesn't anticipate any physical difficulties in being able to drive and steer.]

[Her expression turns to mild surprise and concern when he says he doesn't need money. But...doesn't he? That's why he announced his availability for work, right? Of course she doesn't want to call him out on his generosity if he's going easy on her, but she doesn't want to rob him of revenue either.]

[But even more importantly...she has to verify the offer he might have just made. Orihime points at herself.]

You mean I can ride with you?

[yesyesyesyespleaseyes]

Cloud...

Yes, it should. Everything has a, uh. Operator's Manual?

Sounds right.

[ Despite this, he doesn't have an answer for the princess. And after a long enough silence, he suddenly starts speaking up again. ]

...you could... [ Nah. It's no big deal, right? ~~He's not second guessing how his ride works, is he?~~ ]

I don't know...test that with me?

[ And Corrin waits patiently, of course. After all it looks as though he has something to say but is debating with himself.

Not that he needn't have worried. As soon as he asks, she smiles. ]

You don't sound so sure. [ Corrin is teasing him. Absolutely. ] I could, yes, but are you asking me to?

It's a little different here, but if it's anything like Fenrir back home... We gotta be talking 1350 cc.

[ So. That enough to earn some demichroma? ]

Have you found yourself feeling homesick, then?

[It wouldn't be surprising. Most of them have been here for a good while now. Unless someone just flat out hated their own home world it seemed likely that some of that would be settling in by now, it's just that some people are better at handling or hiding it than others.]

Lucky. I think I'll be avoiding it for the foreseeable future myself for now. Stop by and see me here sometime, I'll avoid telling you about it over drinks.

[ Hoh? Assuming he's getting the rest of her fro-yos, is she? He smirks with a little "hm". ...but says nothing against it because. Well.

...she's not wrong. It's like getting ticketed anyway. Only in small equal payments. ]

Just a sec, [ he says as he scooches out of his seat to go dispose of his own cup and spoon. As he comes back to sit down, Cloud chimes up again. ] How long you on duty for today?

... Yes. [ So much for cool rider Cloud. ]

Sure thing. On the house, Konoha.

[ If the conversation were to arise later on, by his own admittance...it was more to get some sense of normalcy back in his life. Training & sparring, moonlacing, preparing for whatever task the Moon Knights and Prismatica's denizens had in store for them... Rinse and repeat. Cloud would never admit there's a part of him that's tired of fighting all the time, but...

Someone had to do it. It's how they cracked down on Eclipse. Getting captured by the Sinless bolstered his resolve to never let such an incident happen again. Traversing to Amegahara and felling the titan in the abyss of The Nothing. Combating Tempeste upon Iris. Everywhere he went, Cloud found himself either on the front lines or knee-deep in the world's problems as they worked to restoring order. Chroma & Demichroma would come in due time.

Right now when Orihime points to herself for affirmation, he just wants to try having more 'normal' days again. ]

Yeah. I don't mind.

[ Hop aboard! ]

[ It's been...nice. Despite staving his Sanguis senses, having a conversation with someone and firing texts back and forth was the kind of normalcy he was missing. What he needed to get back in his life once they all returned to their worlds. Cloud likes this too. ]

You mind if I stop by sometime and see what you've got?

[ Sköll could probably handle any potential heavier shipments too. Not to mention the rider in question wouldn't have a problem hoisting anything big or small either. ...that and it's better to know more allies whenever the going gets tough. ]

Pretty sure if I paid for it all at once, I'd hit negative Chroma.

[ Which you...couldn't...really...do without dying. So. No business would ever do that. That and Cloud helped them out before. ]

So how you holding up?
