I don't think she would have minded either way. [ Zack hums softly. ] I knew her from my world. We traveled together here for a while.

[ Before they'd split off, but he'd thought she'd be safe. She'd been with friends for a while since. But it seems it doesn't matter who you travel with or what you do, does it. Not in this place. ]

..Anyway, take your time. Not like I'm going anywhere. You.. want me to send you an update of the list afterward?

[ In case he dies, too, might be too morbid to say. But the more people holding onto collected information to share, the better, right? ]

[mrcreamsicles]

[It's a short stretch before he answers again, the intervening moments spent peering into the remaining drawers. Once that's done...]

Looks like Tifa is the only new one. Still kinda feel guilty I couldn't hold up my end, even if you said she wouldn't mind. I only talked to her a couple times, but she seemed really nice, you know?

[It's more than he meant to say, but at least it's nothing bad.]

I'll take a copy, sure. Can't hurt to have around.

[heroproceeding]

[ Nothing bad, no. Even if it still hurts, better to speak well of the people lost than hurt from it, right? Or try to. ]

She was, yeah..

But- yeah. Alright. I'll send it to you soon then. Might as well give myself something to do in the meantime. Maybe it'll help deal with... this whole thing.

[ Or not at all considering the hot water he's going to be in, but. Can't say he didn't attempt to be hopeful, right? ]

[mrcreamsicles]

[Davesprite sighs, soft and brief.]

Sometimes all you can do here is keep working toward a goal. But I'm gonna hang up and let you go before this gets any more depressing and we say something we don't want to.

[He's said too much of that already elsewhere.]

Thanks, still, for keeping track of this stuff. I'll talk to you later.

[heroproceeding]

[ Sometimes all you can do is work towards something.. That sounds familiar. Zack nods even if he can't see it. ]

Yeah.. Not a problem. I'll catch you later, man.

[ And with that, he'll hang up for now. He's going to have his hands full shortly anyway. ]
