[.A second chance.](OPEN)

[Angeal]

First he was dead..now he wasn't? What was going on? The raven-haired male awoke in the middle of the town of Nibelheim, his buster sword was gone, long ago given to a promising young SOLDIER by the name of Zack Fair. Monstrous white wings were curled around his still form protectively, and he was curled in the fetal position, wearing his First class SOLDIER outfit. The plain blade strapped across his back. Mako-tainted gaze slowly fluttered open, and he sat up slowly, aching from head to foot. He gazed around, the town was absolutely empty. Angeal Hewley had been revived, by what, he did not know but he was going to find out as soon as possible.

This whole scenario with him being reborn slashed his dying with honor way of life. He had died by Zack's reluctant hand. Even now, Angeal felt supreme guilt for making the boy do that. The two had been good friends..no, great friends and Angeal, in his heart, had betrayed that bond. He clenched his hands into fists, and slowly stood, stretching out muscles that were tense. He winced as he heard a few bones crack.

At 25, Angeal felt like an old man some days because of the past he had left behind. Gazing around again, he brushed some loose black strands of hair from his brilliant gaze. First he had to find food and water, then the search for the others like Genesis, and..he frowned Sephiroth would begin. He had to find Zack as well, though he doubted that would be a good idea. Zack had seen him die, and Angeal coming back like this would be a bad enough situation to make the young man have a possible heart attack. Angeal shook that out of his mind, and focused on getting his muscles un-knotted.

After a good, long stretch, heavy black boots fell onto the ground as he walked around the town of Nibelheim. He wondered..where would there be food exactly? Not in these buildings surely. A frown appeared on his face "I should go to a hotel..or maybe a cafe" He mused thoughtfully as his stomach gave an agreeing rumble.

The girl watched as the man stood up and flexed his muscles, making sure everything was in order. She was surprised, where had this one come from? He was certainly not there a few minutes ago. From the top of the old well in the village Nibleheim, Sanae had a very good view of everything that happened in the small village. She had come here in hope of finding interesting treasures in the rumored Shinra mansion. They said a mad doctor lived there before and that he had hidden a secret treasure in the basement. She had searched the basement only to find it empty and raided. She was in a bad mood but this man had changed it. Perhaps an old artifact had brought him here. It would be worth a great lot if she managed to get her hands on it. A sound from his stomach told her the man was hungry and she suddenly had a plan in mind. A good plan to top with.

Sanae jumped down from the well and landed on the ground with a weak ‘thump’. Brushing dust from her skirt she stood up and called out to the man. “Excuse me sir?” seeing how the two of them were alone on the square she continued, “I couldn’t help but to notice your impressive entrance to this village. I won’t lie, I was very surprised and you’ve made me curious, may I treat you to some food? I’d love to hear you story later, as a payback if you don’t mind.” Realizing she had not told him her name she frowned at her simple mistake. “I’m sorry, where are my manners? My name is Lidia, may I ask for yours sir?”

[Angeal]

(Sorry it took so long to reply Sanae, I've been somewhat busy)

There was someone here? How odd. Angeal watched the..He saw cat ears. Catgirl walk towards him, and spoke to him, indeed, he as well was surprised by the turn of events, for he had died, and was now alive yet again. A frown appeared on his face and he gave the girl the once-over. She reminded him of a trickster, caring on the outside, but a very cunning and crafty mind. He wasn't a first class SOLDIER for nothing. His observations usually kept him out of trouble, unlike back then. A thoughtful frown appeared on his face, then a small ghost of a smile appeared on his features.

"Food would be nice, and I will tell you a little bit about me once I have some food in me. My name is Angeal" He replied to her "It is a pleasure Lidia." He spoke somewhat stiffly, as he was still trying to..wake up so to speak. However, his mind went to Zack, hoping the kid didnt get himself killed after Angeal was gone. If Zack was dead, then Angeal would have to personally take care of the person responsible, if said person was still alive that is.

*I read you were looking for a job, don't worry, hun. Some things are more important *

Angel? Did he say his name was Angel? What parent with his mind in control would name his SON Angel? It was a girl’s name if any. Sanae smiled gently and lead the way to Niblemheim’s inn, also working as a restaurant to hungry travellers.

The man called Angel was a handsome man, a little too gloomy for her taste but still handsome. He had warm blue eyes that seemed gentle but still sad, as if the man had just loose someone close to him. His hair was black like the ace of spades but his face looked a lot older. The face looked torn and emaciated.

At the reception Sanae turned to Angel and smiled nicely.
“What would you like to eat? Don’t worry about the money; I am better then most at making money.” She turned to the man behind the disk and thought for a second, then she said; “I’d like five apron cookies, three apple pies a backed apple and beef stew pot. Then I’d like black bread and white bread with shrimps, carbonara and to drink a bottle of milk, please. Did you get all that, honey?” she smiled at the man who starred back at her, his mouth open with disbelief. “What did you say you wanted, dear?”
