[she gives him a little salute. she's wearing her default outfit! and shifting back and forth as she looks around the area they're in. void. it doesn't matter. she's carrying her box around with her, but also - when she sees his sword, she goes sparkly-eyed.]
there's a slight pause at the question mostly because he doesn't expect her to be so sparkly about it, but then he takes out his sword pretty fast once it registers ]
[she puts her box down, and takes the sword. she has absolutely no issues hoisting it up, and when she takes a step or two back to swing it, he'll see she's got some training. i don't know how swords work, but she clearly does. it also looks like her swings might pack a serious fucking punch.]
Gods, this is cool. You're stronger than you look, huh.
[ i figured but cloud isn't allowed to understand jokes ]
We had... six. [ the pause isn't because he's counting, it's because he doesn't know how many people cait counts as. because he is a robot cat. ] Last I remember, all of us were in close enough quarters it'd be hard to miss.
I was with Gale and Astarion, but Shadowheart, too. So it's not so weird they showed up, but it is that she didn't. [she puts her hands on her hips, thinking.] Just like you. Maybe they had a hard limit of how many of us they could snatch up?
... Maybe they got sent a ransom note. Fuck. [sweats. would the rest of her team pay up for the three of them.]

Whoa, that's a crazy blade! Can I see?

Sure. Here.
[ it's big! it's used! you have seen it. ]

Who'd say yes to that? [ who would agree they look weak. anyway holds his hand out. sword back please. that's his baby ] Told you I was a merc.
no subject
No offense! [he's just so short... "karlach is seven feet tall" soooooo short] You did, though. Guess that's on me for underestimating you.
Still, it's pretty damn impressive. You can be strong and still not be able to hold a sword the size of you.
no subject
I guess you could say I'm above average. [ in strength. she's right he is absolutely short. minuscule. ]
no subject
[she puts her hands on her hips, tail swaying back and forth.]
So - hey, I met Yuffie. She said she knows you and laws - Aerith, I guess. You guys all from the same world?
no subject
[ aerith??? laws???? his confusion aside; ]
Yeah, we are. Same with you, that Astarion guy and Gale, right?
no subject
[their conversation went places]
Right, though. Weird that it's just them and not the rest of our little party.
no subject
Same here. Especially since all of us were together. Doesn't make a lot of sense not to grab the rest.
no subject
Right? We had like at least four others that should've come with, and yet.

[ the party is so poor consistently. ]
no subject
Us either. I think we had about twenty gold when I checked last.
no subject
[ 20 is so sad... damn girl... ]
no subject
[this is why you don't let the fighters go shopping]
no subject
[ they don't have to worry about that in ff7 because all their weapons are found in treasure chests because they are not canon ]
no subject
Gale was super pissed, but it was worth it.
[a beat.]
Oh, you know, that's probably why we had baked potatoes for dinner that night.
no subject
[ he is not whispering back. ]
no subject
Both. The only time he didn't cook we had booze for our meal, and then he said nobody else was allowed to touch the food stores after that.
no subject
Sounds like the guy had a point. [ and is holding the common sense in their party... ]
no subject
but no. he's right.]
I don't know what he was expecting us to do. It's not like any of us have cooked a meal before.
no subject
[ can they. but also cloud can't talk he is also not a cook ]
