Albel sighed and the tension in his shoulders relented slightly. He did understand, truly -- perhaps more than Sephiroth thought. He was very much the same way, pushing himself further, harder, always more. There was always more that needed to be done, there was always another challenge he needed to accept and conquer, there was always another way he needed to be the best. He had to prove that to everyone, most of all to himself. And pushing himself so hard to be best brought some of the worst out of him.

"I know," he said. "Which is why we have to take advantage of the downtime when we get it. It's brief enough as it is."

He gestured to the tent flap. "We're not going anywhere for a little while, not while people are still setting up camp and setting their plans. Besides, there's that... machine that can take people to the other floors." His hand moved loosely in the general depiction of an elevator.

"We can go up and down as we like. So, while we have the time now..."

Such was an ethos that Sephiroth had pretty much forced himself into from an early age without very much encouragement. Aside from the several months in 'adjustment' to Crystallis when he'd first been brought here, soon enough -inevitably- the old habits found their way back into his lifestyle. If there ever came a time where there was no challenge left, then Sephiroth would make one.

He followed Albel's gesture towards the tent flap but then sighed. It seemed as if hot air deflated from his shoulders as Sephiroth stepped backwards and then allowed himself to sink back into sitting on the camp bed. It felt like a lot more than just getting his weight off his feet, and for that reason -alongside the near throbbing migraine starting really to pound- Sephiroth decided to stay put. He didn't like submitting to anyone but he found himself agreeing with Albel for the most part; his logic would be to blame for that.

"I suppose the others can form to take the next trip up. There is certainly enough backup to take if needed."

[Albel was relieved and he even managed a small smile.]

Indeed. I'll watch over Spencer, so you'll be fully informed when we return.

[Even in that smallest of meantimes Sephiroth has already started to hold his temples between his thumb and forefinger. Nope, probably shouldn't have got up at all. It seems, to him at least that there is an overlong pause in the time it takes him to lower his hand and look up at the other man again as if drowsiness takes the hint and rears up to prove Albel's point.]

Spencer would probably get lost up there; he's best down here keeping the books straight.

If you would be so kind to relay the orders to one of the captains...

[wickedone]

[Albel smirked. Yeah, that sounded like Spencer. And with everything else -- and everyone else -- maybe it would be best to have one less person to watch.]

Yes, sir. Of course.

[He nodded and saw himself out of the tent, letting Sephiroth finally get some rest.]
