Doesn't make you any less'a ones. Damned idiots. [ But they're alive. They're definitely still alive and they're there and that's what matters in the end, doesn't it? Even if a part of him still stings, it's not enough of one to stop him from starting to reach up to ruffle Zell's hair-

-and freeze at the sight of hand suddenly to face. He remains still and watching as Zell traces over him from bony cheek to stubby jaw, until he seems satisfied and lingers on to Kunsel. It's only then that he moves if not without first giving Zell a fuller embrace with both arms and the slightest squeeze. Then, he's carefully unwinding himself from him if not without a nod because yes, it's definitely real. He might not be able to take it all of that real, himself, but Zell could certainly likely feel the warmth he radiates, his racing heartbeat, and the rise and fall of his chest.

The same feelings Jim can pick up on the moment he goes for his own hug. Zack's hands are again careful, finding their placement warily and not immediately squeezing as tightly as he usually would. It's a slow build up instead, carefully getting tighter as he looks up just enough to get his sights on what he next plans. ]

You two did good. [ And he actually does mean it. They worked together and got that key and that takes a lot. Especially after all they've been through. Especially after... that.

Doesn't stop Zack from reaching first to lightly ruffle Jim's hair before reaching over to give Zell the same treatment. Nothing rough like usual, but there as he mumbles with a slight ache. ] Just- don't scare the hell outta me like that again.
