[private post for the COOLEST PEEPS 8D]

[he'd be kidding himself if he said he was doing anything right now but being lazy. lying down on the cool wooden floor of his apartment in a shady nook, hair tied up and spread as far away from the rest of himself as possible, wearing a pair of boxers and nothing else, it was hard to convince even himself that if he really wanted to, he could get up and train some.

it was hot, was the problem. Sephiroth lifted a head to examine his toes, splaying them to touch just the edge of where the noon sun was streaming into the apartment. even that little touch of sun felt hot on a day like today, when the birds outside were too hot to even chirp properly. he'd been out before dawn, as was normal for him, but even then the temperature had been high and the humidity higher.]

... I need an Ice materia.... [he concluded quietly to the silence of his apartment, flooded through with the sounds of a hot summer day. the noise wasn't as bad as it usually was in the city, given that he was on a first floor with all possible windows open. even the city seemed mired in heat exhaustion.]

[of course, being on the ground floor, anybody could just hop in a window. Sephiroth, being Sephiroth, hadn't even considered that when he began to open windows, let alone when he lay down on the floor in a state of dire undress.]
