[action] the lobby - backdated to the start of villain event, just about

[focusedfate.livejournal.com]

[There's nothing really unusual in Cid being serious, but today, there seems to be more worry in his expression than usual. The set of his shoulders is a little stiffer, and his steps carry more speed than usual as he exits the dormitory area and steps into the lobby.

What may be most obviously different, though, is his dress. Gone is his Sanctum uniform, the suits, and even the business casual--they've been replaced, apparently, by a rather plain but utilitarian outfit. He has a single duffle bag slung over his shoulder but nothing else of note on his person. The news of recent events in his adopted home world hasn't been sitting all that well with him, and this one individual is off to catch a train to Deling City to see if there's anything he can assist with.

Run into him on his way out?]

No? Or perhaps I should be asking, "Still?"

[Cid quirks a brow at Tom and chuckles softly.]

Have you not told her yet?

[He's going to have to Sharpay for Tom at this rate...]

might have to retcon this, depending on how that log goes... ;;

[werepanther]

No.

[The most agonizing sigh ever] It's like, I want to tell her... but she's friendzoned me so hard that a gay guy'd have less difficulty getting through to her than I would.

[Friendzoned?

Cid's honestly never heard the term before, but he can certainly guess as to what it means.]

Do you think her reaction would be the same even if you were to try something a little more drastic than words?

[werepanther]

[He has to think about it for a moment.]

Maybe. Depends on if we're both drunk or not.

... But I don't know. I want to say something, I just. Don't want to mess this one up too.

[He reaches over and claps Tom on the shoulder.]

Are you worried that you'll lose her friendship should things not go as planned, or is it something else?
