[Moving on was a concept only really constructed due to not knowing what happened. That and circumstance, he guessed- as well as a pull forcing him along to where he had been directed to go. Just like a puppet. But... Zack doesn't know that. Not yet- and his reluctance in ...well, telling him everything is warranted.
It's... a long story. For later. Way too much to go into now, especially when the most important thing is getting to the coven and making sure Zack learns what he is, and how to stall his changes taking form, and honestly? He's... well, worried. Ashamed, too. What would Zack even think about any of it?
Still. Regardless, he nods when Zack mentions Tifa- his eyes moving to his again.
...Yeah... [Reconnecting was a way to put it, yes. But his focus shifts at the next statement, his eyebrows furrowing. He... was serious? Wait...]
Huh.
[Wait, yeah.]
Come to think of it... There was another hole in that roof. You... fell through too?
[It sounds impossible. But regardless of that, he doesn't disbelieve it. It comes from him of all people. So of course he believes it.]
Weird...
[Well, it is. Still:]
So you know. About her. [It... stood to sense. He's about to say something else, but soon enough, they're in the square of which the Coven building stands within, and the subject has to change.]
We're here.
[And they're being side-eyed already. What can be said? The closer any of them from other worlds tended to get to the city's main district proper, the snootier the general mood is.]
The natives aren't exactly fond of us. [It's a low murmur, rather than an actually spoken statement. It's intended for Zack, and Zack alone.] Something happened, the month before I got here. Some people were taken, and... they're back now. Apparently it was some faction of locals with a problem. It's been quiet since, but...
[He needs to be careful. That's all that should be said.]
...Probably shouldn't stick around here for long. You good?
