Angeal watched the changes of expression and it was a comfort to know that this was the Zack he remembered. His outspoken and carefree nature helped Angeal on more than one occasion to lift his spirits or to slap him back down when he felt that he was being too serious or lofty. He leaned forward with his hands folded on the table top with a soft smile that he showed only to his friends. Zack was one of those friends now that he didn't have to teach him any more.

They were equals now, and that was all that Angeal could ever hope for. He wanted to tell Zack more about what happened but the issue was getting around his own stubborn nature to reveal the reasons on his end. He chuckled anyway about the messes and shook his head. "Don't ever change."

Perhaps he said those words to help with his own stability, but there was something behind those words that he knew wasn't always possible. Events happen to change a person for the better or for the worse. He didn't want to dwell on those negative thoughts. The discovery that Hollander was his father didn't set well with him at all. He found the scientist disgusting and it showed slightly on his brow.

"I suppose all that's left to do now is to get you settled. Any questions?"
