[ It takes a moment for Zack to process what Lightning means. She changed, though how or why is less clear. Again, it's not the right time or place for a conversation that involved, and he doesn't blame her for not wanting to spill her heart out in the moment. He doesn't really feel up to that, either, especially after such a long day.
Though it doesn't surprise him to hear that he'd been persistent in befriending her. Lightning would hardly be the first person Zack's come across who took a little extra effort to make friends with, and at this point one could say that he's practiced at it.
When she smiles at him, he immediately returns it with a wider grin of his own. It might be a little feather in his cap, but he won't rub it in too much, especially since he can't actually remember doing most of that work. ]
Sounds like a plan to me. That'll be a better opportunity to trade stories, I think.
[ The sound of the fireworks and the revelers is dying down as they get further from the fairgrounds, and it leaves them with a natural moment in which to part. ]
Should be heading back anyway, but... thanks again, Lightning.
