Scarlett watches Cloud walk with Reno. Falls back to talk with Tifa

Tifa Lockheart walks along with Scarlett

Tifa Lockheart says, "Something on your mind?"

Scarlett says, "yes ... do you think Cloud has a chance?"

Tifa Lockheart says, "Don't know. He's pretty determined though... where there's a will there's a way... blah blah blah"

Scarlett says, "Tifa, did you see Reno taking the poison?"

Tifa Lockheart says, "No I didn't... he's quick"

Scarlett says, "... how did he manage to do that?"

Tifa Lockheart says, "Don't know...."

Scarlett sighs

Tifa Lockheart says, "I think something snapped in cloud back there though...."

Scarlett says, "when?"

Cloud Strife continues walking.... As if compelled... carrying Reno

Scarlett says, "when he left or when he realized Reno had taken the poison?"

Tifa Lockheart says, "When he realized Reno had taken the poison, He always runs off like that.... Takes his anger out on rocks and trees and stuff"

Scarlett says, "yes... I saw him get all upset and look as if he wanted to break something"

Tifa Lockheart says, "Reno wouldn't believe me that he was coming back"

Scarlett sighs

Scarlett says, "Reno's stubborn.... And other things"

Tifa Lockheart says, "But you gotta think.... Cloud's under a lot of stress.... The weight of the world's been on his shoulders twice... not to mention the protection of his loved one... which he now prolly thinks he failed"

Scarlett says, "He hasn't..."

Tifa Lockheart says, "He's always hated being a failure"

Scarlett says, "yes, Reno... Reno doesn't like others helping him... or telling him what to do..."

Tifa Lockheart says, "Well he's gonna have to get used to it.... I f we survive, any idea where we are heading?"

Scarlett says, "looks like the Chocobo farm..."

Tifa Lockheart says, "Why there?"

Scarlett says, "That's where the tracks lead"

Scarlett looks at Tifa

Scarlett says, "What do you think Cloud will do about Reno?"

Tifa Lockheart says, "Don't know. I think he's leaving him that way because even he doesn't know what's gonna happen"

Scarlett says, "I mean, did he really mean what he said about... letting him go?"

Tifa Lockheart says, "Im not sure... he can be crazy at times..."

Cloud Strife slows up the pace a bit

Scarlett says, "What about Reno when Reno talked about wishing he had slept on the boat?"

Tifa Lockheart says, "I think he overheard the whole thing.... He was standing behind us the whole time Im sure of it"

Scarlett sighs

Scarlett says, "even when Reno fell asleep?"

Tifa Lockheart says, "Never know...."

Scarlett sigh

Scarlett says, "Do you think Reno wants to stay asleep?"

Tifa Lockheart says, "Don't know.... He must be in hell"

Scarlett says, "yes... blind, deaf, and someone who's lived their life taking care of themselves..."

Tifa Lockheart says, "Would Reno live for Cloud even through that?"

Scarlett says, "he has so far ... but he will not live beyond him"

Tifa Lockheart says, "It's so sad.... To see Cloud like that... Reno too...."

Scarlett says, "*whispers* I'm not even sure there is an antidote... it's just something I heard... and the fact that Reno didn't drink the whole vile...."

Tifa Lockheart says, "Don't tell that to cloud... he might go totally bezerker and kill us or something..."

Scarlett says, "I know... I'm not dumb. That's why I didn't tell him"

Tifa Lockheart says, "he isn't far from it now...did you see the look in his eyes?"

Scarlett nods

Scarlett says, "What do you think he will do if ... there is no antidote? *Is still whispering*"

Tifa Lockheart says, "Go Bezerker and kill us... what do you think?"

Scarlett says, "I meant... about Reno?"

Tifa Lockheart says, "Don't know... Probably try and cure him till he's gone... then go bezerker and kill us... he's pretty predictable"

Scarlett says, "gone...."

Scarlett frowns at the word

Tifa Lockheart says, "It's why he doesn't like saying goodbye.... Unless he really means it"

Scarlett says, "like when?"

Tifa Lockheart says, "Like when he knows he isn't coming back"

Scarlett says, "Meaning?"

Tifa Lockheart says, "It's some kinda.... Superstition he got from being a trooper. You say goodbye to someone... it jinxes you"

Scarlett says, "ok"

Scarlett Reno starts murmuring in his sleep again

Tifa Lockheart says, "Cloud's weird that way"

Scarlett listens to Reno and looks at Tifa again

Tifa Lockheart says, "Does he even want to be brought back? With the way he's talking"

Scarlett says, "I don't know...*looks pained*"

Scarlett says, "He might just be hallucinating cause of the poison... but... I never heard of that happening before... "

Cloud Strife shifts Reno off of his back and Cradles him in his arms as he walks...

Scarlett Reno goes back to being silent again... not letting anyone know what he is dreaming

Cloud Strife says, "No Reno... I won't let you go... we have a vacation to take together..."

Scarlett looks at Tifa again

Tifa Lockheart shrugs

Scarlett looks ahead ... they can see the camp

Tifa Lockheart says, "Well... looks like we're close...."

Scarlett says, "yes, it does"

Cloud Strife continues to walk ... but slows so the two women catch up

Scarlett catches up

Scarlett says, "Cloud...."

Cloud Strife says, "Hmm?"

Scarlett looks at Reno

Scarlett says, "you are going to take him into the camp as well?"

Cloud Strife says, "Well what can I do with him?"

Scarlett sighs and nods

Scarlett Reno is still breathing but is rather limp in Cloud's arms

Cloud Strife says, "Unless one of you will stay back and watch him...."

Scarlett looks at Reno

Scarlett says, "I think the poison is. ... *Sighs*"

Cloud Strife says, "Hmm?"

Scarlett Reno's breathing is a tad slower then normal

Scarlett says, "Maybe the poison works faster then I thought...."

Cloud Strife stops dead in his tracks and whirls on Scarlett

Cloud Strife says, "What do you mean?"

Scarlett says, "look at him"

Scarlett shutters a little as Cloud gives her that look

Cloud Strife says, "He isn't going to die...."

Scarlett Reno looks a little pale too...

Cloud Strife turns back around and begins walking towards the camp again... but before he did he gave Scarlett a look that practically froze her blood

Scarlett shutters and looks at Tifa

Scarlett says, "why does he do that"

Tifa Lockheart says, "Don't know... I think you're dead... if Reno dies...."

Scarlett cringes

Tifa Lockheart says, "But then again so am I"

Scarlett says, "why doesn't he just use that rage on Rufus?"

Tifa Lockheart says, "He probably will"

Scarlett Reno does look peaceful though... his breathing slow and relaxed... his body limp... his features somewhat pale....

Cloud Strife continues walking to the edge of the camp

Scarlett looks at Tifa

Scarlett says, "I think we need the antidote...."

Tifa Lockheart shrugs helplessly

Scarlett there are people getting food in the camp

Tifa Lockheart says, "But how? Cloud is not going to stop now that he is so close to Rufus..."

Scarlett they act as if Cloud and the others aren't there

Scarlett says, "I don't know"

Cloud Strife looks around.... Searching for Rufus

Scarlett says, "Does Cloud even notice the way Reno looks?"

Tifa Lockheart says, "He's blinded by Rage I guess"

Scarlett nods

Tifa Lockheart says, "Should we try and talk to him? And is Rufus even here?"

Scarlett says, "I don't know... in either case"

Cloud Strife brushes a strand of Hair from Reno's face... and frowns

Cloud Strife says, "You're not looking well... "

Scarlett Reno is pale, limp, and breathing slowly... but looks peaceful....

Cloud Strife says, "Reno... if you die.... So help me.... "

Scarlett Reno would not be able to hear him even if he was awake

Cloud Strife projects his anger across the camp... challenging

Scarlett backs up into Tifa, feeling the anger

Tifa Lockheart says, "...."

Scarlett Reno murmurs in his sleep again

Cloud Strife says, "Reno no..... Please don't sleep forever... "

Cloud Strife looks around the camp

Scarlett still no sign of Rufus

Cloud Strife says, "He isn't here... Where is he?"

Scarlett says, "I don't know"

Cloud Strife is gonna start hacking blindly at people... his anger is so great

Cloud Strife says, "Let's go.... There is nothing here...."

Scarlett says, "ok"

Cloud Strife stalks out of the camp... heading towards the shore where the boat is at a rather fast pace

Scarlett says, "Lead on"

Scarlett follows him quickly

Tifa Lockheart follows along whispering to Scarlett

Scarlett listens

Tifa Lockheart says, "He's losing it... be ready for anything... "

Scarlett says, "do you think... Reno's going to die?"

Tifa Lockheart says, "If he does.... Gods help us... perhaps we shouldn't follow him if we value our lives"

Scarlett nods

Scarlett says, "I guess you are right... let's find out what's going on here and let Cloud be..."

Tifa Lockheart stops and watches Cloud disappear into the distance

Tifa Lockheart says, "He's moving awful fast too... we couldn't have kept up..."
