[Manami blinks and makes an astonished noise when he realizes that she's taken both of them down the stairs using vanish.

It... can take two people?

He looks up and sees that she's right- the zombie-like man is following them, his eyes fixed on Yuffie.

Her determination to stay and fight is admirable. Really, it is. Straight out of one of the video games he played when he was younger.
But he thinks of all the bodies he'd passed to get here, and he shakes his head.]

I... don't think heroics like that work in real life.

[He reaches out to take both of her shoulders firmly, and uses teleportation.

The safest place he can think to take them is back home, but she's heavy! Or, at least that's the best description he can think of for the lag he's feeling as he tries to move both of them with the magic.

Of course. He's never done this before. But there is no reason to be afraid.

He changes his destination to a park he is fond of napping in, which is closer to the the hospital and therefore should take less of his magic. As they re-materialize, he staggers to the ground, taking deep breaths. Wow, the world is spinning kinda fast.]

Haa-ha. I suppose I was... the heavy one, because I'm not as cute as you...

[Yuffie is as surprised as Manami and she’s now very tired. That takes a little more power than she’s used to and without really thinking about it she falls against him. There can be heroics in real life, Yuffie is proof of that but they are teleporting before she can even argue. She’s sort of glad he’s got this covered even if she hates running away.

It’s a weird feeling and it twists her stomach. When they are finally materializing again she falls to the ground, her body is still banged up and bruised and now the world in tumbling around her. She rolls to her side and slowly tries to stand so that she can face Manami.]

I have no idea what you are talking about but sure.

[It’s shaky but she’s finally on her feet and moving next to him. This time it’s her turn to grab him by the shoulders.]

What are you doing!? We have to fight.

[Except that Yuffie looks like she’s about to pass out.]

[Still on his hands and knees on the ground, he slowly raises his head to look at her. It takes a long moment for him to register that what he'd said, it was from their conversation during the time loop and she wouldn't remember. Ah. Too bad.

When she musters herself enough to take a hold of his shoulders, he merely smiles sleepily in return.]

I'm running away.

[When he opens his eyes from his smile they are tight with seriousness- a contrast to the rest of his smiling expression.]

You know, Yuffie-san, I'm a biker. To climb a mountain, it's a difficult physical battle. The slope doesn't get any flatter because you're tired. The air doesn't get any cooler because you're hot. So I have to be careful with my physical condition. Monitor it. Moderate it.

Yuffie-san, we cannot fight anymore right now. If we find a white mage and get you healed, and if we find a way to restore our magic, then sure we can go again! But right now...

[He unsteadily takes a potion from his pouch holds it out to her.] Right now I'm sleepy! And it's hard to talk to you when you're swaying so much.

[His response almost makes her want to head-butt him but she resisted the urge and instead just stares at him as if he has three heads. Slowly his words sink in and she realizes that he’s right. She doesn’t really want to admit it though and she never liked saying thank you or sorry. Instead she stares at him for a long moment her eyes flicking to the potion as he holds it out.

She still has the first one he gave her though it’s stashed safely in her pocket.

It’s then that Yuffie’s mind turns. One hand leaves his shoulder and takes the potion while her torso moves against him. She miscalculates and instead of kissing his cheek she finds his lips. It’s quick kiss as she slips the potion from his fingers.

With her thanks given she steps back with a smile and uncorks the potion, bringing the bottle to her lips and downing the whole thing in two gulps. She might have ethers somewhere but they are usually more expensive. She starts thinking of a plan never mind that she had just kissed Manami.]

[So...

...

That...

That was a kiss, right? He blinks at her, his expression frozen as he watches her take the potion.

But why- what was that for? ... ... Oh? Something like that?]

Ha- haha~ Yuffie-san, is that how princesses from your country say 'thank you'? You surprised me! I think usually, people just say it with words.

[Yuffie blinks and looks over at Manami with a smile. Is he nervous? This is going to be fun for the ninja princess. She hasn’t been able to tease Manami yet and now she’s pretty sure she knows how. With her smile slowly slipping wider she takes a half step forward, her dark eyes looking up at the other hero.]

It isn’t. In fact my father would probably be upset with me.

[With each word her smile widens until there is a full grin spread across her lips.]

Maybe it’s because I think you’re cute.

[It’s really hard to tell if Yuffie’s serious or not but she’s watching Manami now. Her gaze fixed on him with a curious glint in her eye. Never mind crystal soldiers and city in danger.]

[At this point, it's not so much the kiss that has him off-balance as the way that she's looking at him. Somehow, she reminds him way too much of Arakita-san when he's going in for the kill in a race.

Still, even with that impression, she's probably not serious~

Probably.

At least there is one thing in there he can genuinely laugh at!]

Hahah~ Naww. The type Yuffie-san likes is 'handsome and strong and nice'!

[She told him so, even if she doesn't remember it.]

[Yuffie looks at him like he's crazy before backing up sightly. He's no fun and so she switches to a different tactic. Her expression grows serious before a little dismissive.]

I don't like nice people or have you not met my crushes?

[50% of them are or were in Crystallis.]

And I meant it, you are cute so stop being annoying and accept the damn compliment.

[That isn't how you compliment someone.]

Mmm?

[Yuffie-san, you talk totally different once you've been stabbed. ~~would stand to reason...~~

He chuckles lightly, supposes that it might be true (she was the heavy one during the teleport, after all), and gives the 'compliment' no more mind.]

Yuffie-san has crushes? More than one! Like~ Like, Vincent or- [He thinks fast, trying to remember some other names of guys that are about her age?] Johnny or Ven or MarKus?

[...wow he's really not met a lot of guys here.]

WHAT?!

[More than a one name strikes a nerve with her. MarKus and her had dated and then she put space between them, Ven is a serial killer and Vincent has made it clear he has no interest. After going through each name in her head she pauses and looks up at Manami confused.]

Who’s Johnny?

[As she spoke the giant marshmallow thing which they’ve been skillfully ignoring lumbers and something begins to happen.]

[Oops~ yep, looks like he struck a nerve or two or three. So good timing, lumbering marshmallow-thing. Manami looks up- wayyy up, you can't miss it- and watches as some sort of magic is happening around it.]

Whoaaa. Would you look at that! What's going on? That looks like more fun to fight than zombies!

I really don't know and how the hell is that more fun!?

[She points up at the giant as it continues to swap and then fall against the castle. This doesn't look good and unless they want to be covered in marshmallow they better continue to run away.]

Haha, well, look at it! Isn't it silly? And looks like it's made of marshmallow! Maybe fire magic will roast it and make it melt, ahaha~

[Way way way less scary than zombies-turned-real.

And ...yah, turns out his thoughts became real and here comes the marshmallow. Running away now sounds good.
His steps waver from the lack of mana in him, but he runs anyway.]

Yuffie-san, ha- ha- how far do you think we'll have to run to -ha -ha- be safe? The ground is really unsteady here.

[Yuffie really wants to punch him now.]

How the hell do I know!?

[She almost trips as she runs away, her legs feeling like jello. Even with the potion she has more than just a few wounds.

As they run the large mog staggers and it appears which ever heroes are fighting it have won because it bursts sending marshmallow all over the town.]

[Flying marshmallow incoming!

A big chunk hits Manami on the back of the head, sending him staggering to the ground.]

Ah-! Ah, that's kinda warm- Uwaaa, how am I gonna get this out of my hair?

[Even as he complains about that, more marshmallow is falling on him.]

What a mess, what a mess... AH! MY BIKE!

[Infused with new strength (mental if not physical), Manami looks around to orient himself. Where did he leave it?

And he runs off. (Bye, Yuffie?)]

[Yuffie just watches and then sighs softly. She easily side steps the spewing marshmallow and then begins to pick her way back home. This is just too crazy for her.

She just wishes someone was at home.]
