002 ✗ video.
[ The second time around, these terminal things are a little easier to figure out. Zack still hasn't gotten the hang of their finer workings (see: anything other than Record and Send), but at least he's past the fifteen minute delay stage.
And he hasn't smashed anything - there's that. Technically, he's still in debt for the last computer he touched. But that's beside the point. ]
I didn't think it'd be this hard to find a decent weapon shop around here. They're usually front and center, y'know? [ Right next to the Items Shop and the Inn, generally. This is very basic city planning. ]
But I probably should've guessed. There's not exactly a lot around here to fight... [ Which is weird, and makes life a little boring - but it definitely isn't a bad thing. He shrugs, flashing the screen a lopsided smile. ] So what I'm saying is, if anybody out there's had better luck, I wouldn't mind a recommendation or two. I can't be the only one who wound up here unarmed, right?
Oh, yeah, and uh... [ He runs a hand down the back of his neck, looking around indecisively (as if that's doing anything to hide the faint hint of color climbing in his suddenly uncomfortable expression). ] If somebody wouldn't mind holding my hand for a while, I'd appreciate it, too. I kinda let that get away from me.

[She doesn't know how powerful this company might be, she doesn't know what the circumstances are, but she does know one thing, and she squeezes his hand lightly even as she shakes her head.]
There's no such thing as 'necessary evil'. Just evil that people are afraid enough of not to stand up to. And sometimes that's the way things are, but other times... other times, someone eventually has to fight for the right thing.
[She frowns a bit at how easily he dismisses the subject though, but nods slowly, peering through the menu with a glance before making her decision.]
--and alright. Thanks for that too- you don't have to though. I can pay for it myself.
[action]
[ Not without a death wish. But that's life. (Or it was.)
The look on his face is unreadable for a moment, almost considering (with a pensive kind of depth that his first impression probably suggests he isn't capable of), but the smile and change of subject wipe that away, too. ]
Yeah, but I picked the place. So if you don't like it, I'll owe you, anyway. I'd rather pay up, now, just in case.
[action]
[But the idea of letting something like that continue doesn't sit right with her. She does keep a curious eye on him as his expression changes, wondering what it is he's thinking that he's not saying.
She decides she doesn't want to push her luck, and leaves well enough alone.]
...alright, fine. But eventually, I'm going to have to pay you back somehow.
