[After a long, drawn out battle, the infiltration team returns to the residential portion of the Tower, weary, battered... but victorious. Some catching up is in order.]

[Wow Elena. He pauses mid-rub and focuses his eyes on some random point on the floor while that thought rattles around some in his mind.

It feels, acutely, like he'd been so tired when he was trying to theorize over what was going on that he'd managed to overlook the answer that was sat right in front of him. Annoying.]

If it wasn't all lost from what was stopped, then I'm sure it won't be too long before we learn. It all depends on how much was used up already.

[Hey, she calls it like she sees it. And given that there was nothing else she could come up with at the moment, it was more of a shot in the dark than anything else.]

No, that's not alarming whatsoever. [The sarcasm is strong with this one.] Lets hope, then, that a good amount was spent on the infiltration team and there's little left. But...

[Eyes focus on him a little harder.]

If that isn't the case and there is some energy left, it'll be vitally important to keep an eye out to pick-up any signs that its about to be used.

[Still, it's an unwelcome thought. He might have fidgeted some more if it wasn't for that crick in his neck that now Sephiroth resumes rubbing, slipping into silence once more.

Sarcasm ignored. As is Elena's focused gaze towards him, at least for the most part. He looks down at at the sketch of his map that he was asleep on, peering again at the part which was now circled - the machine they'd secured had to be where the majority of the power had been distributed after all.]

Of course, if you know what signs to look for.

[Perhaps he would be better to recognize such a thing, though, given what Elena had just implied with regard to his powers. This is why he needs to get fully rested, his powers will be his own again soon.]

[provenworth]

I suspect there's only a handful that do.

[Since she doesn't know everybody in the Tower, or their powers and capabilities, she has to assume he isn't the only one. Because, if he was, there was a question as to whether or not he'd actually even share that information if he picked up on it.

Don't mind her when her attention shifts to the little circled spot on the notes. Though, an eyebrow will raise a little.]

On to something?

[neverbeamemory]

[Sharing information is a very delicate thing, he hasn't done very much of that at all since Ganondorf left the Tower. Until the time he's spent up here doing exactly that, trying to crack their energy issues.]

What? Oh-

[Sephiroth blinks heavily to Elena and then down at that point on the power distribution map that's heavily circled. 'Zo?' is scrawled nearby to it, not fresh at all though. If Sephiroth is kicking himself that the Evil Alliance didn't pick up and go for the machine before, he's much too tired to really kick hard. Too tired to kick himself as well, clearly.]

This is an relatively old sketch. I suppose it just confirms that which has been claimed now.
