It all started on Monday, with an offhand comment. Reno's, of course.
"A lot of animals, don't ya think? It's like a pet shop in here yo!" Cissnei had giggled and replied that Lazard must have been one busy man. Now it was Friday, and the comment was still bothering him. When he finally couldn't take it anymore, he approached the pair, questioning them. That had caught them off guard, but seconds later both burst out laughing. Lazard just stood there patiently, waiting for their answer. Reno was the one who finally answered.
"Pet shop full of SOLDIERs, yo. Sephiroth a cat, Genesis a panther, Angeal a lion. Zack a puppy, and that cadet that trails him a chocobo! See? Pet shop, albiet a small one." The director was left stunned, relizing that the comparisons were rather true. However, Reno wasn't finished. "And with everything they are, they really are eating each other." As the laughter faded down the hall, Lazard wondered what he was going to do with the men under his command. At the very least, he was going to have to give them a stern talk. After all, what kind of image would ShinRa have if their feared SOLDIERs were refered to as pets? That, and how obvious they were being with each other.
A/N: ok so this is only a quick little preview/drabble type thing, although I will most likely end up posting little bits and pieces of interactions featuring Animal!SOLDIERs. Because really, who can resist? I mean come ON! Also, because it's an amusing notion, fan art? I'll post a link somewhere.
