[for a looooong moment he considers not saying/writing anything since she technically IS Library trash >: however...]

...What, so now that you want something you're finally talking to me like a human being? Great work on winning me over, Library girl.

I--I'm not asking for any favors! I just... I just need to know!

Why's it any of your business?

You're the Major's trigger. I-f I can find out why, m--maybe I can help him get through it.

Trigger...? The hell are you talking about?

His personality changes when your name is mentioned. I--I know he has something on him that feeds on and warps his feelings. An-And those feelings are... feelings for you.

Could you make that sound any creepier?

And for your information, that guy's been insane for a long time. Taking away some weird sword isn't going to fix him.

[Hi Noel, Ky's sitting in a chair next to your bed. He's been personally ridden with guilt over what happened to Noel, but he manages to crack a smile upon seeing she's awake.]

Oh good, you're awake... how are you feeling, lieutenant?

[she turns her head towards him, smiling sadly]

I--I'll be fine. How about you...? I passed out, so I didn't know if you'd be...

Don't worry, both myself and Mr. Kengamine are alright. I'm glad we got you out of that ice and back here in time.

I'm... sorry that we were unable to complete your mission.

N--No... It's all my fault I couldn't do it on my own... A--And I got you two involved...! You two could have been killed because of my failure...

And you could have been killed if we weren't there to help you. Please don't blame yourself, lieutenant. Besides, we wanted to help you. There's nothing you should feel guilty about.

I--I would gladly die if it meant protecting others! I... I know that's selfish, but that's how I feel.

[the steps of someone could be heard in the distance, heavier then usual. though the boots echoed down the hall, and as the door to the clinic flew open, through that place as well]

...

[Cloud was bloody all over, cuts and impalement wounds accentuating torn clothing. but it's like none of that phased him, his expression near-emotionless, the clarity within his eyes enough to show what he was feeling. for a brief moment, he closed them, raising his hand up as if to reach out for something, and like velvet on his tongue came his voice, though there was a chill touch of exhaustion]

Cair Paradisa. Chains.

[and just like that, his wish was granted, thick chains manifesting in his grasp. enough with locks at points to connect them. he opened his eyes once more, bright blues falling onto Noel]

You believed in the right person.

[Cloud had an unconcious Jin Kisaragi over his shoulder, the unforgiving cold that was Yukianesa strapped to his waist. Mission Accomplished]

[by now Noel's recovered use of her legs, though it still hurts a little. She slides out of her bed with a little difficulty]

Cloud...? What did you...?

[frostbitten, numb, a total mess, it was obvious what Cloud had done. sparing a glance to the man on his shoulder, he sought a bed for him, and turning from Noel for just a moment, he set the unconcious man down on the bed. there were signs of minor wounds, burnt and torn clothing and the like. but anything life-threatening was gone. Cloud had used most of his magical reserves in the Restore Materia to heal Jin, leaving him to rest his weary head all the while. setting the chains down by his resting body as he sank into the bed, Cloud unhooked Yukianesa from his waist, making his way to Noel]

... ...

Jin's okay. I brought him back.

[and to that, he holds out the wicked blade of Yukianesa for the girl. just holding it sent chills down his spine. he didn't like it. he was glad that it wasn't in his possession anymore]

[it takes her moments to realize what he had done]

You--You fought him!? After everything I said, you still fought him!? Y--You could have gotten killed!

I know. ... I also know that he means a lot to you. [he looks over his shoulder to where the resting Jin was, setting down Yukianesa at the edge of another bed]

It's the least I could have done.

[she looks over him. He's more badly wounded than first glance. She can tell he's covered in frost bites and other stab wounds. His stance suggested fatigue]

Look at you... You're hurt all over... And this isn't even the first time in a few months! Why do you have to do such reckless things!?
