Elsewhere, a certain mako-eyed puppy was eating with his mentor, but it was anything but silent.

"Who is she, Angeal? I've never seen an ANIMA SOLDIER before. How have you tow been previously acquainted? C'mon, Angeal! Tell me!" he begged.

"Eat your dinner, Zackary. It's not often I invite you for dinner." Angeal was surprisingly calm.

"But it's also not often at all that I met an ANIMA SOLDIER! Please, Angeal? Tell me something!" He shoved food into his mouth after eating.

Angeal sighed at the puppy. "She lived in Banora for a few years. She was rather attached to Genesis. I told you something. Now eat, puppy." He took a bite and smiled lightly at his apprentice's expression.

"That's not fair, Angeal!" He pouted and finished his food. The pup then washed his plate in the sink and put it away. "Thanks for dinner, though. It was good." He smiled at his mentor, who nodded in reply, seeing how his own mouth was full.

"You're going to be in the Training Room bright and early, Zack. You'll have a surprise if you do."

Zack smiled widely. "Really? Awesome! I'll get to bed right now!" The ebony haired 2nd Class excitedly waved and left the apartment.

Angeal chuckled lightly. Boy, would Zack be surprised.
