[That breaks him from his more solemn thoughts. Ven looks over again with another smile, confident once more.]

Yeah! It's a plan! [He gives a short laugh after a moment, as if at some inside joke.] Although... he told me to visit him again once he became a hero. I hope it's not too soon for that.

[It doesn't matter how many years it's been. The sass will never stop.]

[neverfirstclass]

[Cloud can't help but laugh.]

I'm not sure how to tell when you've become a hero, but Zack is a good guy and he never stops trying. And I don't think he'd even use being called a hero as an excuse to stop trying to get better.

[A very fond and happy smile stays on Cloud's face as he looks off into the distance.]

And he's my best friend. And he was trying to help me meet my dream too.

[makingfriends]

[Ven's grin lingers. He didn't know Zack long, but that try-hard-and-care-little attitude sounds like him, for sure.]

Heh, well... the whole time thing here aside, it's been a long time since I saw him. I might have some catching up to do. [More like will almost certainly. Time waited on Ven in some regards while he slept, but the worlds kept turning nonetheless.]

Your dream, huh... So you both share that dream? Wanting to be heroes?

[neverfirstclass]

Yeah, pretty much. I mean we're both from backwater towns, and that was the dream. Go to Midgar, become a SOLDIER First Class like Genesis, Angeal and the Great Sephiroth. It was that or stay out in your little town and live a little life. [Cloud missed home, but he still hated Nibelheim in that way teens do.]

Of course, not everyone had what it took to be a SOLDIER, let alone first class. Zack got into the program but I was still a grunt when we met.

[makingfriends]

[Ven gives a soft laugh, the kind that's as much sympathy as it is amusement.] Yeah... I know that feeling. [Now, though... he'd gladly take his little life in the castle back.]

Heh, I'm glad, though -- it sounds like he's doing what he wanted to. I'm sure you'll get there, too, Cloud.

[neverfirstclass]

[Cloud smiles sheepishly.]

In a way I already am. I mean I'm definitely stronger in this world than I was back home. But that's not really the same.

[He looks out at the room around them.]

But for now, this is okay.

[makingfriends]

[Ven follows the look.]

...Yeah, I think you're right. We're as strong as we need to be -- if we're not, we'll get there. And if we don't... well, that's why there's more than one of us. So we can work together.

[neverfirstclass]

[Cloud looks over again at Ventus and just smiles. The words sound a lot like what Zack would say. Encouraging and making him remember that he's not on his own.

Zack isn't here. And Tifa, maybe that would work out in time. But there's other people encouraging him in the meantime.

So for now, this is okay.
