Just this once? [ nico. please. ]

[resumed]

You really underestimate how many things go wrong in my life, Cloud.

[skyagain]

More like I'm trying to be optimistic about those.

[resumed]

Pardon me for stomping on your optimism. [amused.] But maybe I can figure out how to be a little more optimistic myself.

[skyagain]

It's something we can both work on. Maybe.

[ maybe,, ]

[resumed]

Maybe. [...but he does seem to think on it.] With your contract being completed, and me being newly unemployed? Sort of feels like we've both freed up a little bit of time to be used for that sort of thing.

[skyagain]

If we both don't end up too busy for it again.

[ but it's a wry joke. he looks at nico ]

Next time we meet. Let's see if we've managed it, alright?

[resumed]

[he looks surprised suddenly, like he wasn't expecting cloud to ever offer a next time.]

...yeah. Yeah, next time we meet. It's something to look forward to, at least. [a goal. and a meeting. wow. friendship...]

[skyagain]

[ don't look so shocked!! he ruffles nico's hair. by spite. ]

Means you've got to be around to meet me or I'll be offended, too. [ a beat ] And vice-versa.

[ they can't promise they will be okay but they can Try ]
