[ looking around.. for a bucket... to hold his hand...? ]

Outside wasn't much better. We were around the pyre when the fog set in thick, and we couldn't go anywhere after. [ ... ] Don't think that sleep was natural.

[ amongst everything else that was unnatural, ]

Yeah... I don't even really remember falling asleep. It was more like blacking ou—

[ finally looks at what cloud's holding. hm. ]

Is that a hand.

[ ... ]

We found it in the fire. I don't exactly want to leave it... around.

[ he is TRYING to find a SPOT FOR IT, he WEARS GLOVES SO IT'S LESS TERRIBLE ]

Ah......... maybe there's... something at the mortuary? They probably have, like. Specimen jars, right?

... May...be?

[ he hadn't thought of that, because 1) he doesn't like the mortuary much. or specimen jars. 2) corpses and ff7 is a mystery to me. theirs just fuckin vanishes. ]

Guess I can look.

That seems like the safest and least weird place to store it, at least.

Yeah. Thanks. Can't say I've ever had to think about this before.

[ where... to store... limb... ]

I mean, fair.

Where did you even find it... was it just out there on the ground in the flames?

Aerith found it near that weird tree in the swamp. [ and then cloud looked at her bare hands and went i...will take that... ]
