[ Admit it, Cloud. You're just jealous of his cuddle orgy.

And yes, he's going to insult it. He knows a certain vampire in this town that he would punch in the face otherwise if not for the fact that it would be a waste of his time and get half the town up in arms against him. ...He's still really tempted to punch him anyway, but he digresses.

So, at the comment Cloud shoots his way, Zack just shrugs. ] I get plenty of alone time around here. I don't mind being with the others. [ He's also always been a much more sociable creature of habit, too.

He also prefers to be close to them to know they're still here and alive. But let's not go down that dark path, shall we. Still, he'll be falling into step alongside his friend before adding casually: ] You should join 'em sometime. [ Not that he minds coming around to see him separately, but. Mm. It feels better knowing they're all together.

Can rest easier knowing just about everyone's accounted for and warm and safe. ]
