FTEC -- Monday [October 11]

Maybe it had be weird of her to stay behind? But really, Ino was quite happy to wander into work that morning and take her customary place at the front desk. She highly doubted that there'd be anyone who'd need her attention, but…

That was alright. Despite the way that the nurses glanced askance at her. She knew herself well enough, after all, to know that she tended to get bored after a day or two of vacation and besides, Zack was here which really made the whole point of going on vacation without him seem utterly ridiculous and insane.

So, she settled in at the desk, still working on her homework from Professor Devereaux—even if the Professor wasn't teaching this semester; that was just a detail she was ignoring.

Unlike all the details she'd been told quite firmly that she wasn't allowed to ignore any longer.

They kinda... totally failed on the date-ness, but that was alright. She wasn't complaining.

"I'll look forward to it," she said, with a nod of her head. "So you'd better get back, you know."

Ino sighed a bit. "Do you know much 'bout Nibelheim?"

"Nibelheim?" Zack blinked, trying to figure out just where that question had come from. "Not really, except that it's a bit of a backwater town."

He twitched a little smile.

"Cloud's from there." Or from some place called Edge. Zack wasn't entirely certain which way was up, there. "There's a reactor. And I think it's by some mountains, but I've never actually been there. It's one of those places you never really hear anything about."

... Much like Gongaga.

Conversational gambits with Ino were fun, really! Though this, at least, tied into what they'd been talking about before the mention of dates had come up.

"Do you got any problems with your girlfriend bein' from there?"

"None at all, if my girlfriend doesn't mind that I've never actually been there, myself." He tilted his head a little bit.

"If you're from a small mountain town, you'll have to be careful not to complain about things like walking everywhere, or hills or anything like that," he mused, thoughtfully. "Midgar is a cakewalk compared to small towns in the middle of nowhere like that. Cloud and I left Tseng way behind when we were stranded up in Modeo."

Poor, poor Tseng.

"I can do that," she said, smiling at him. "I bounce around a lot anyway and I don't think I've complained once about the distance or nothing."

About the scenery she had to look at, sure, but... that was different.

The scenery in Midgar was nasty. The only reason Zack didn't complain was because there were so many people! Heck, even under the plate, things kind of felt like they were closing in, sometimes.

"Then you've got a good start," Zack decided. "And, I mean, you really are used to crazy terrain, too. So that helps!"

"It does," she said, with a bit of a sigh. "Though I still gotta figure out my family situation and why they're okay with me wanderin' off--or if they aren't okay and we don't talk now--and how I met you and what was I doin' and where was that?"

"Well, you take to the city really well. Maybe you just got bored of living out in the middle of nowhere, like I did." He shrugged. "And I vote that I saved you from Whole Eaters in the slums and that's how we met!"

Pose. Preen. Awww yeah.

She laughed.

"You just wanna be my hero!"

"Well, can you blame me?"

It was his dream, Ino! His dream!

"Not really," she said, leaning over to kiss his cheek. "I don't mind you bein' my hero at all."
