Characters: Cid, Leon, Aerith, Yuffie
Content: Cid and Aerith arrive in town to meet up with their internet lolz friends.
Setting: Outside/around the Starbucks Actua Are hotel in the center of town.
Warnings: None, I 'spect.
Cid's bones didn't take too kindly to long trips, but he didn't like to admit that because it would also mean admitting that he was gaining in years. Not that 35 was anywhere near what he considered old, but the brats sure thought so. He couldn't wait until they got to be his age and realized how unfair they'd been to him all this time... Gramps, huh? He'd see about that...
Cid blinked in surprise when the train finally came to a stop and he spotted a large, upper-class hotel near the station. He squinted his eyes to read the sign--Actua Are, huh?
He and Aeris quickly deboarded and stretched the kinks out of themselves before heading over towards the hotel. It was easy to see that this neighborhood was a few steps up from the one they'd just left--it was well-lit, with elaborate, artsy-like pillars and buildings. It was a waste of money in Cid's eyes, but then again, rich folks could be a bit odd.
Cid's eyes drifted back to the hotel, and as they walked, he spotted a familiar young man sitting at one of the outside tables. He couldn't stop himself from grinning and quickened his pace until he had reached his apathetic friend.
"Well hot damn!" he said loudly, thumping Leon on the back heartily and grinning as the kid choked slightly on his coffee. "Been a while, hasn't it Squally?"
