[zack refuses to say anything about his involvement in the fanclub. there are certain things that are better off with sephiroth not knowing about, like that one. so he keeps steady and slowly...slowly... finishes putting the books on the shelf, before turning back towards sephiroth.]
I was asked to join.
[careful]
[and then a shrug.]
Doesn't matter though, right? You're more than what they put you down as in the fanclub.
[Well, Zack. You just admitted you at least read about what they say. That's just as bad as fully joining.
Sephiroth is not going to let the subject drop either and Angeal is going to hear all about it later. For Zack's sake he'll leave out the whole library incident. But everything else? That's open game.]
So did you? Join that is.
[As he states the question, he stares directly at Zack.]
[the answer is clear, but zack is not going to fully admit to it. he grins at sephiroth, it pushing into a laugh as he collects the books from the table and tucks them under his arm.]
C'mon, seriously? You know that everyone looks up to the Shinra poster boy at one point or another. It's no surprise that you've got a fan club!
I'm sure not everyone does. But I am well aware. I am reminded of it almost everyday despite my attempts to ignore its existence.
[He looks at the floor with a shake of his head, but his gaze quickly returns to Zack.]
One day, you may be the full object of their affections and have to deal with all of the rumors. Are you prepared tribulations that come with being First Class?
[zack tilts his head, something of a huff of air through his nose as he looks over at sephiroth with a most serious expression—before cracking a smile and putting his right first onto his chest.]
All I need to know is right here. [in his heart; basically, his moral compass.] Rumors are gonna happen anyway, but as long as I remember what's important... Honor, dreams... [he nods] Then I'll be fine.
Honor won't save you from what they tend to write about us.
[Every little detail from what they do to who they speak with. Sephiroth ignores it, but that does not stop other people from feeling the need to tell him what they read.]
But you'll do fine. In any case, I'm sure they've written about you already.
