[It had been a little while since Cloud had been on a hike himself. Sure, he'd done a couple of treks into the Wildlands, mostly for work, but nothing like what they'd decided for today. In fact, it reminded him a little of his trips up and around Mt. Nibel back home.

While he was able to keep a decent pace, he could feel the dull ache begin creeping into his arms and legs after carrying Aerith partway. He knew she could manage around the slums, especially as they traversed the rooftops of Sector 5, but this particular expedition might've been too large a learning curve for her.

So just before bed, Cloud peeks into Zack's room, just to set the record straight.]

Next time you say nature walk, we better stick to that plan. Especially if Aerith's tagging along.

[ Despite the minor (and likely literal) bumps in the road from the trip, Zack overall thought it was a great time! Sure there were some... feelings that may have gotten involved, but in the day being able to spend the day with two people he truly cared for made it all worth it. But even Zack was surprised to see Cloud popping his head into the room, especially after trying to sit in those feelings and let them rest for the night. ]

Huh? [ The man blinks, sitting up from his half tucked position on the bed. ]

Think we went a little overboard? Guess I'm so use to doing that type of hike in my sleep.
