We certainly will!

[It was weird being all protective and things; normally Nanami was trying hard to protect herself so she couldn't care about too many others. But... well, if the army failed, so did everything else.]

July 30th

[Easy for Sephiroth to see the same considering he'd seen Vincent's memories before. His eyes were as luminous as ever -no sign of the mako-hue fading just yet- and made even more so by how his pupils were tiny slits as he gave the other man a long look.

As it is, Sephiroth doesn't pick up on that tell-tale hint of amusement on the end of his tone; truth be told he had a great deal of other things to be perceptive about on top of his growing tiredness.

He huffed something of a single, dry chuckle as Nanami answered and then pulled his arms up into being folded across his chest. It always made his shoulders look bigger when he did that; easy to imagine the silver armor that would usually sit atop them.]

I need squads to standby in Echo 2 and 3- [Back to business, he straightens up. Not that he'd even realized the slight slouch to his own posture] -this apparent inferno couldn't have gotten so large without being noticed before. I need them ready to move out as soon as that report comes back.

[Vincent gave nothing away as he was scrutinized once more. His own Crimson seemed brighter than normal, albeit the hue was natural. Fading-evidence of his own past as an experiment. He nodded though, when Sephiroth huffed and 'gave in'.]

Would you like me to report back after delivering that message, or stay there on standby?

[Assuming that he'd be the one to go, and Nanami'd stay here on standby.]

Re: July 30th

[nomorecowbell]

So, do one of us go to both and the other stays on call here, or do you want us to go one to each?

[she was feeling... tired, but not too tired. She could make another run.]

['Gave in' would never be directly mentioned and it's good that Vincent already knows as such, no matter what information he might have based that guess on. As far as Sephiroth is concerned he accepted the advice; he may or may not act on it later.]

That would make it quicker, for both of you to run it. There is not any need to wait for a reply, but of course if there are any messages to return you may as well pick them up at the same time.

[He looks pointedly at Nanami again, having seen her face delivering messages for a fairly long time already. Though the concept of time is rather skewed surely she wouldn't deny the same advice being given to her.]

Afterwards, I do believe that you are well overdue for a break.

Re: July 30th

[bloodypast]

[Turning the majority of his attention to his fellow Hero-messenger, Vincent nodded to her.]

If you would take the closer base, I can also remain on standby while you rest, Ms. Nanami.

[It went unspoken that he'd keep his eye on Sephiroth as well. Make sure the other was at least attempting to take some form of break. Even if only for a few moments to eat.

Waiting only for confirmation that this plan was accepted, before Vincent would head out for messages. He was tired, but mentally at least, had been used to this kind of pace once before. He would be used to it again.]

Re: July 30th

[nomorecowbell]

That sounds like a good plan. This battle is taking forever.

[She didn't mean to whine. She meant to sound haughty: why couldn't the Empire just stop. It didn't work.]

I'll be as quick as I can.
