Rakyu: "Aw... Zacky... things will get better once this stupid war is over... once the threats are gone, they'll probably let you have more freedom... they need a leader, a general. you need to stand up and bear the burnden. You're father did it, and so can you."

Zack: i know. it's just hard... because i can't go anywhere or do anything without them breathing down my neck... i'm trying to figure how make educated decisions about the war going on around my planet and i don't know anything about war. and everyone's depending on me to just get everyone through this safely and i'm afraid i'll make the wrong decision...and that we'll lose our home.....

Rakyu: "Talk to your advisors. Talk to the captians. Get the scope of the war and talk about strategies. That's how you get info on the war and then make decisions about it. Talk to other generals, too."

Zack: i'm the only General. i have 2 captains and three lieutenants... all of whom are at a loss of what to do. we don't have to worry about fighting the demons right now because they've ordered a temporary cease fire. and we've accepted... but they'll be back. we're also thinking about trying to resurrect the grasslands but so many are afraid to try because of the remaining hollow men. and the people are upset because of the death and destruction and are under the impression that if we surrender our land and allegiances the demons will simply leave us be...

Rakyu: "they'll crush you guys under their boot if they win... take back what land you can. fight tooth and nail. amma,ss your forces and push back."

Zack: we were hoping Syn would have awakened by now. the soldiers are starting to lose hope and a few of them have joined with the demons and our allies are all busy with their own problems. *he sighs and sits down on his bed* the summoners and mages of the forest have been aiding us and have been trying to figure out how to destroy the hollow men. there is only thing they can think of to try.....

Rakyu: "And what is that?"

Zack: h3ll fire. but we're to scared to try it. it'll destroy them... but it's unpredictable and nearly impossible to control

Rakyu: "It'll destroy their armor, but not them. they have no souls in there even. just minds... just consious to move. once their armor is destroyed, whoever made them will just get a new suit of armor and stick 'em in there with a new curse."

*Zack rests his head in his hands and sighs* i just... i don't know what to do... they'll come back and we can't fight them forever.....

Rakyu: "Wasting time with the minions... try going for the top... take off the head and the limbs stop functioning."

Zack: we'd have to go k!ll the demon king. we sent some spies over to pick up intel. *he gets up*

Rakyu: "Alright. Ya got dig in and hold your ground... Syn may still awaken. But it has to be the right person.... we'll see. At least the cease-fire buys us some time..."

Zack: yeah... hey. are you hungry?

Rakyu: "Yea... I kinda am. Why, you have something in mind?"

Zack: i could make us something. the kitchen and food here are amazing.

Rakyu: "alright." :3

*Zack smiles* we'll have to bring it up here though so no one disturbs us

Rakyu: "that's fine by me" :3

*Zack leads him to an elevator that'll take them down to the kitchen*

*he goes with Zack*

*Zack pushes the down button then smiles up at Rakyu*

*he smiles back*

*Zack gently takes his hand*

*he holds his hand and smiles more*

Zack: i can give you a tour of this place later. if you like?

Rakyu: "sure." :3

Zack: alright. *the elevator go ding, signifying that they've reached the kitchen* anything special you'd like?

Rakyu: "surprise me." :P

Zack: hmmm... *he scratches the back of his head for a few minutes* ok. um... what to drink?

Rakyu: "Whatever you think will pair best with what you are making." ^w^

*Zack huffs* what i was gunna make depended on what you wanted to drink.

Rakyu: "oh, ok. Red wine, please." :3

Zack: ok ^-^ i know what i'll make now! *he goes over to a wine rack and takes a bottle of aged red wine down and shows it to him* is this good?

Rakyu: "It's perfect." -w-

*Zack goes into the kitchen, puts on a chef's apron and starts making a rotisary chicken*

Rakyu: "Smells amazing..." <3

Zack: thank you <3 *he starts cutting up some vegetables*

*he watches Zack cook*

*Zack makes a broth for the chicken and steams some green beans and carrots to put on the side*

*rakyu keeps watching him happily*

*Zack cuts a couple pieces of the chicken off and puts them on a plate with the carrots and green beans then gets a fork and a knife for Rakyu* and done!

Rakyu: "This looks wonderful, Zack! Get yourself a plate, I'll pour your wine and we can dine together! You are a great cook." <3

*Zack grabs himself a plate, some silver ware, and a wine glass* thank you <3 when i was a little boy i originally wanted to be a chef... but. i'm the General now, so i try and cook in my spare time.

Rakyu: "You've done a fine job" <3 *pours him some wine. he begins to eat and loves it*

*Zack can tell that Rakyu likes it* i'm glad you like it <3 *he takes a bite out of the chicken then takes a sip of his wine*

Rakyu: ^w^ <3

Zack: i love you *is about to take another bite of food but pauses when he hears a commotion coming from outside the kitchen* ...

Rakyu: "hmm? What's going on?"
*stands up*

Zack: probably some citizen...or some guards trying to get in here and try to discuss something with me. i told them im taking a personal day today and to take their problems to the lieutenants...

Rakyu: "We'll see..."

Zack: no. they can go to the lieutenants. i can hear them out there and it doesn't sound like anything they shouldn't be able to handle. *takes another sip of his wine* i took today off so i could spend time with you

Rakyu: "and i have loved this fine day so far." <3

Zack: so have i. <3 but we can finish dining up in my room. to avoid the commotion

Rakyu: "i'm already finished." <3 *helps clean up*

*Zack washes their plates and forks* what about dessert? and should we polish off the wine?

Rakyu: "red velvet cake..." eve

*Zack grabs a red velvet cake out of the fridge and the bottle wine and smiles at Rakyu as he backs up torward the elevator*

*Rakyu goes wif him*

*Zack pushes the button that'll take them to his room*
