001 || dream a dream of me.

[Some dreams have some fluidity. They remain constant, with an overlaying theme - much like a storybook of the consciousness. Others can be sporadic, having no meaning, and easily shifting from one thing to the next. They can be serious, or strange. They can be hopeful, or heartbreaking.

Or... they could be Zack's dreams.

As it is, a deep, dark violet night sky floods the area. You might see quite a bit of snow, as if walking up a steep mountain, with the ice wind blowing through your hair. And right at the cliff's edge stands a man wielding a long, sturdy sword, resting safely upon his back. The weight doesn't seem to bother him in the least - if anything, he's accustomed to it by now, both hands on his hips as glowing, bright blue eyes stare off to the distance.

What could be he thinking about?]

[ Usagi gives the jacket an unsure look -- starting to feel a little unsure now that she has his jacket. ]

Well, if you're sure.. but if you want it back just tell me, okay?

[ It's then that she realizes something very important. ]

Oh, I'm so rude! You're being nice, lending me your jacket and I haven't told you my name! My name's Usagi. Usagi Tsukino.

[Ahh, he's got plenty back at HQ. Hell, there's more even at their campsite - jackets were about the cheapest thing the Company could afford, so he if wound up needing one himself, all he had to do was ask.

The mako was doing a good enough job of staving off hypothermia, however.]

Sure thing! But I mean it when I say it's no big deal. We've got plenty more to pass around. [Also on the occasion they would meet some of the Continent's inhabitants, in which he did.] --oh!

[Stopping for a bit, the SOLDIER bumps a fist to his chest, grinning widely.] SOLDIER First Class, Zack Fair! Ready to assist when need be, ma'am.

It's nice to meet you Zack, but you don't need to call me ma'am! Usagi's just fine!

[ Because being called that makes her feel old. .. and she hasn't reached that point. Not yet anyway! Now that she's a little more acquainted with the man before her, she just gets herself comfortable and moves so she's at a comfortable space next to Zack. ]

So, why are you out here in the middle of nowhere?

[Force of habit, especially with the ladies. But it doesn't bother him none, and he just keeps on smiling.]

Will do, then! Just thought you'd like bein' treated with some respect, is all. [Hands on his hips, he leaaans in close.] No excuses - after bein' out here all this time, Minerva knows you deserve a break, yeah?

[With that, they keep walking. His pace is slowed to match hers, just to keep her from falling too far behind. Not that it was her fault in the least - Zack was just used to this terrain.]

We're actually doin' something pretty delicate out here. There's a rebel group that's been going around, hurtin' a lot of people and making things difficult for everyone. I think we might've finally located their homebase here on the mountain.
