THE BUILDING || ARRIVALS

Assume that Hakuba worlhopped you here if you don’t have a worldhop of your own~

[He looks up as Zack pokes his head through the door]

I've got things in hand, Zack. Go enjoy the party.

[Hiding? Tseng? Of course not. He's just holding down the fort so the other Turks can enjoy themselves.]

Uh-huh, right. And let you spend the whole night holed up in here? Not a chance, partner.

[Zack's smile is just a touch uncertain. He knows that his memories of all the other times he's dragged Tseng out to socialize aren't shared by the other Turk, and so he's not entirely certain of his welcome.]

[He leans back and turns his attention back to the security monitors. Zack is welcome, he just isn't going to fall prey to Zack's enthusiasm this time! He is smiling, though.]

What's wrong with me spending the night in here?

[Zack lifts a hand and begins to tick off the points]

It's boring, you'll turn into a mushroom, it's boring, you're too work-obsessed as it is, and it's boring.

[He grins and leans against the wall, arms crossed over his chest.]

Anyway, you can patch the alarms into your PHS, and anything you might see on the monitors you'll see just as well by being there, and you'll be that much closer on hand to deal with any issues that crop up. So there.

[At least he's been through this many times before - and Tseng doesn't have the natural immunity built up through repetition that Zack remembers him having.]

[Tseng rolls his eyes]

It's not boring.

[Though he did have a point about being close by... hmm. He chews on that other point, trying to come up with a counter-argument]

[Zack knows that particular thoughtful look, but he is careful not to look triumphant. That will only be counterproductive.]

Besides, do you really want me out there having fun without my p- without you acting as a restraining influence?

[He smiles winningly, though it is tempered slightly by his almost slip.]

[Tseng glances at Zechs sidelong, frowning faintly]

Are you saying you'll help Tyki Marquise destroy everything if I don't come with you?

[With exaggerated patience] Nooo, because Zechs will do a perfectly good job of keeping Tyki in hand, if anyone can. My job is to make sure you actually have some fun once or twice in your life, and if I have to start making trouble to get you out of here, I will. It just won't be destructive trouble.

[Zack's grin invites Tseng to imagines all the other kinds of trouble he might cause instead]

[Tseng stares at that grin, then sighs and pulls out his PHS, defeated]

[Growls:] You're a terrible influence.

[Zack smiles very sweetly, doing his best to look innocent and pure. The expression doesn't fit his face very well, and he's not very good at it anyway]

No, I'm a very good influence. You'll thank me later when we're having fun, trust me. [He pauses thoughtfully] Not that you ever have actually thanked me, not out loud, anyway. But I know you appreciate it anyway.

[Tseng rolled his eyes and finished uploading the data to his PHS so he could monitor things remotely, then got to his feet]

If I don't thank you, then why do you bother? [He doesn't really mean the question]

Because I'm your friend, dumbass. [Zack punches him on the shoulder, smile turning back to his usual grin] What better reason is there?

[Tseng winces a little, but smiles a bit as he walks towards the door] Don't call me a dumbass.

I will if you act like one. But now you're behaving so all is well. [There is a manic gleam in his eyes that Tseng is familiar with, though it lacks the usual glow of mako] Let's go see if anybody's spiked the punch yet, shall we?
