"Aww Grim is a sweetheart he's just shy is all. Isn't that right?" He gives it a scratch and it smiles and then hides itself in Zack's mane of hair, almost disappearing.

With a chuckle he noticed cloud staring at him and he almost waved a hand in front of him, unsure what caused cloud to zone out for a moment. "Sweet! The backwater experts are back together again!" He couldn't help but ruffle clouds hair at that. He'd forgotten how soft it was too.

"Seriously though we gotta name your bird. How about Cloud junior? Or oh! What about CJ?" Zack was happy, the happiest he'd genuinely been since he got here. It was the first time he really felt like his old self again. He couldn't help it, being around Cloud affected him like this.
