Gee, I wonder who would ever want that.

[Sarcasm practically drips from his voice.]

Maybe you should just cut your losses and focus on not getting killed instead.

[neverbeamemory]

[Sarcasm. The lowest form of wit and, as expected, not appreciated in the slightest. Sephiroth is already half scowling from his discomfort and so the scowl just grows larger and more pronounced.]

That's not acceptable.

[The sarcasm, and the cutting losses both. Sephiroth needs the body that the Tower will reward him with. He can only then be complete again.]

[puppy_lancer]

[He shrugs.]

Suit yourself. Just don't be a sore loser when everything's over.

[neverbeamemory]

[Oh don't worry Lancer, he'll be the most sore loser of them all. Failure is something he cannot abide and that feeling is tenfold when it's his own.]

I don't intend to lose. There is too much at stake.

[He's not moving to walk past Lancer at all, either. Only remain stood there with his head down and peering up with his eyes at the other hunter. It doesn't look -that- out of place from the distance they currently hold from each other, but Sephiroth's comfort is quickly dwindling away.]

[puppy_lancer]

I'd ask you to help punch Jason so you have a chance at winning...but you're not exactly someone I wanna work with.

[Lancer, on the other hand, is moving to walk past Sephiroth.]

Just try not to get in my way, and I won't get in yours.

[neverbeamemory]

A crying shame, in a way- [Smirk, however tilted towards the floor it is.] -considering we did this before.

[Deja-vu much, hunting Jason in a maze. Only the 8th Floor maze has nothing on the Labyrinth they now find themselves in, and there wasn't any power stripping going on then either.

Neither did Sephiroth's head feel this heavy. His head drops a little further as he moves closer to the wall to allow Lancer extra room to get passed him - though not releasing any of the tension around his grip in the hilt.]

[puppy_lancer]

I'm gonna get him this time. So there won't be a third time.

[Lancer walks past Sephiroth, looking a little surprised as he does so. He expected the other man to try and block his way or something.]

[neverbeamemory]

Well lets hope your conviction is up to the task.

[After all, Sephiroth is certain that he will be the one to find and to finish Jason. At this point, his Destiny demands it.

But he does let the Servant pass him without any further incident. In silence, more than a little down to his thoughts trying to worm their way around this pain his neck. This weight suddenly pulling at shoulders.]

[puppy_lancer]

It will be. Don't worry about that.

[And Lancer leaves Sephiroth behind, going to sniff for Jason.]
