Sephiroth, Kadaj -

Tell me about Jenova.

Kadaj, please. Leave Elena alone. I won't ask again.

Why? It's only what she deserves.

[theycutitout.livejournal.com]

Because she's just a girl. She hasn't done anything to you yet, only what's been provoked.

But you've no reason to listen to me. I'm an enemy, and I understand that, but I'll make a deal with you. Just for tonight. I'll meet you instead. It'll be better than assaulting Elena, right? To get a chance to settle the score with someone who beat you.

[reunion.livejournal.com]

She's done plenty.

Very well, I accept. Where shall we meet?

[theycutitout.livejournal.com]

So you say.

It should be somewhere discreet but away from allies. The Sun Room is spacious enough, and we shouldn't have to worry about brainwashed patients tonight. Alternating schedules. An easy pattern to pick up.

Fair play, right? You'll come alone.

[reunion.livejournal.com]

The Sun Room it is, then. Alone.

River, I need you with us tonight. And I'm perfectly capable of taking care of Kadaj myself, so it doesn't matter if he comes for us or not.

You're going with the President, aren't you? I don't... He's...

Re: [strikeout isn't legible but Schu-Schu will know what it says]

[k4t4str0ph4l.livejournal.com]

I'm not particularly happy about it either. But there's some safety in numbers.

Besides, Elena's going to be with us. If you want to protect her, you might as well be with her to do it; even if you draw off Kadaj that doesn't necessarily assure her safety from anything else.

Also makes a target of us.

I can trust that to Reno, if anything. And you.

Re: [strikeout isn't legible but Schu-Schu will know what it says]

[k4t4str0ph4l.livejournal.com]

We were already targets. Nothing new.

And they're after Reno. I wouldn't necessarily guarantee that he'll be able to keep her safe.

Re: [strikeout isn't legible but Schu-Schu will know what it says]

[theycutitout.livejournal.com]

They flock to large groups...

She. I have to.

[k4t4str0ph4l.livejournal.com]

What if I need you tonight? And if you and Elena are in the same place, what good is this doing?

[k4t4str0ph4l.livejournal.com]

We're already risking plenty, and we'll be with Elena. Better to be with us than challenging him alone somewhere.

And I don't need to trigger you for this. I'm fast and he's easily baited; child's play.

[theycutitout.livejournal.com]

It's settling a score. For him.

You said you would use me efficiently. Are you having second thoughts?

[k4t4str0ph4l.livejournal.com]

No. But I'm supposed to be proving my worth to ShinRa tonight; what better way than to fight Kadaj and win?

[theycutitout.livejournal.com]

I have to prove my worth to them too, and to Crawford and Farfie. They all said it wasn't worth it. Together, we can both prove them wrong about everything.

It's... human emotion. Not always logical. This course of action is most efficient and presents the lowest percentage of risk.

[k4t4str0ph4l.livejournal.com]

Well, if Sephiroth shows up, you'd probably be the only one I'd trust to take him on. Farfie could take him, probably, but not without taking far more injury than I'd want him to; you're less reckless. You've got more finesse.

[theycutitout.livejournal.com]

He... Very well then. I'll distract Sephiroth.

*strike-out illegible*

[theycutitout.livejournal.com]

I can't risk him finding her before anyone else does. If you trigger it, I can win this.
