[Simon's feeling kind of down on his luck today; Denzel's gone, Cloud's still with Tifa, and Anise's kidnapping is sort of the icing on the cake. He's hanging out by the southern river closest to the shop plaza, attempting to skip stones.

Someone come cheer the kid up?]

[Wtf is that stick in her mouth.]

You shouldn't say that kind of thing about someone else.

[compos-mentis.livejournal.com]

I probably should stop kicking puppies then.

[Chuckle to herself and now, fire out of her finger-tip to light it and... inhale then blow smoke in his face]

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

[COUGH COUGH COUGH. Waving it away from his face now.]

Don't do that!

[compos-mentis.livejournal.com]

[A chuckle there and a shrug]

Sure thing, kiddo.

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

[That was mean, Nina.]

[compos-mentis.livejournal.com]

So what's eating you, Simon?

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

Nothing. [None of the mean lady's business.]

[compos-mentis.livejournal.com]

[...Heh. She expected that, oh well]

I'm glad to see Cloud back in order.

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

[He scuffs his foot, tossing another stone.]

Mm. He'll be fine.

[compos-mentis.livejournal.com]

Probably. He's likely already bleeding his heart for someone else.

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

Huh? [wtf are you talking about, woman.]

[compos-mentis.livejournal.com]

He probably found someone that needs saving and's looking after them. [A sigh, and then she's going put out the cig on the ground there before patting Simon on the head once]

[Simon frowns and ducks away, shrugging his shoulders at her words. She's probably right - it's just what Cloud does. Can't really criticize him for something he does all the time.

...Still.]

[compos-mentis.livejournal.com]

Still he probably needs a good punch if his kid's looking like this without him.

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

I'm fine. I'm old enough that he doesn't need to be with me all the time. [He's used to not having a father around anyway; Cloud's the icing of privilege, an unexpected gift of the past.]

[compos-mentis.livejournal.com]

Right, you're a big strong man.

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

Don't make fun of me.

[compos-mentis.livejournal.com]

[Heh.] Fine, just this once.

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

[Let'd get to throwing that stone now. HA, it skipped three times.]

[compos-mentis.livejournal.com]

[Here, have a golf-clap at that one]

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

[What is with that pathetic applause.]

[compos-mentis.livejournal.com]

Three. How impressive.

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

[Shrug.]

I don't believe you.

[compos-mentis.livejournal.com]

Good, because I was lying.

[Skipping: five skips!]

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

[....Bitch.]
