The Cid Venia knows is almost like a parallel version of Cid in FFVII. May change that idea. The Terresia's Cid is Venia's godfather.
Venia (Veni), Jay, Alacer Desert, Terresia, UNLIFE belong to Lolimochi (me). Final Fantasy VII characters such as Zack Fair belong to Square Enix.
Vignette Two - Zack talking to Venia at night (Friends level)
The stars were so bright against the black sky. It seemed as if they were shining crystals amongst a velvet cushion. The night sky was priceless to her... Terresia's sky was priceless to her. She let herself lean slightly back, using her hands as a support. The grass was a welcoming change compared to the harsh dirt and sand of the deserts in Alacer Desert.
Why...? She thought. Why was Terresia like this? Where was Jay? She never liked unanswered questions. Some people preferred to hide from answers, but she wanted nothing but the blunt truth, no matter how scary it is.
"Hey, Veni."
She immediately turned to the owner of the boyish voice and disturber of her thoughts with a glare. "Don't call me that."
Zack didn't seem effected by her glares. But when was he ever affected by them? She thought as he took a seat beside her. "Lighten up. I think it's a pretty cute name."
Why do I even bother? She looked back up into the sky and reminded herself that she still had meditation activated. She knew that meditation required little attention, so little that she could sleep with it while it was still activated. However, something in her mind kept telling her to stay awake, just to gaze at the stars and moon.
"What are you thinking about?" Zack asked. She noted that if she turned her head to glance at him, she would be able to see his purple-blue eyes staring at her with curiosity.
She stayed silent, wondering whether or not to answer. In the end, she did. "The stars." She simply said.
Venia heard Zack softly 'ahh'ed at her answer. "They're really pretty, aren't they?"
She didn't need to answer because it was so obvious and she knew... well, at least hoped Zack wasn't that dumb. But a question gently ebbed from the darkness and into her mind when she concentrated on the stars. "Zack."
"Hm?" He sounded eager.
She glanced at him and raised an eyebrow. What is he so excited about? He had this strange grin. It was very strange, showing a mix of happiness and curiosity. Friendly...? That didn't seem right. The friendly smile always looked so fake and cheesy that she would know something wrong was going to happen. The person would either steal something from her or try to harass her. Either way, it meant danger.
Yet, why does he look... fine... He didn't look as if he was going to attack her. He looks... happy... She can't even remember how her father looked like when he smiled. She remembered Cid's. His just looked stupid and cocky. It wasn't all nice like Zack's.
"Veni? Veni, are you thinking again?" She blinked twice and realised that she was distracted with her thoughts.
"Yes."
Zack sighed and let his body lean backwards until he lay upon the grass, his arms behind his head. "It's bad to think too deeply into things all the time, Veni. It'll make your head hurt."
She had the urge to roll her eyes at the childish answer. "I am perfectly capable of thinking deeply. Your brain, however, might explode from the workload." She replied lightly, a teasing tone almost non-existent as the night breeze picked up.
The black-haired boy grinned, obviously catching on with her rare teasing and let out a fake whine. "Aw, Veni! That hurts my heart, you know?"
"Yet so true." She murmured before getting up.
He gave her that... weird smile just as she turned and began waking away.
"Night, Veni."
She stopped, her head unconsciously moving slightly to the right so that she could glance at him.
Violet met sky blue just for a second.
"... Night, Zack."
