[ Zack can't imagine how there could be such a prevalent negative attitude toward Monsters when they also seemed to be so common in this world, but he doesn't know that much about the history of this place. Again, maybe it's something he should study up on, even if it also sounds like a drag.

Maybe he can just ask Cloud once they've met up, to see if he's got any insights. Sounds like a plan.

When Zack reaches the Coven, he has to ask a few people before he gets accurate directions to where the library is located on the compound, but he ultimately finds his way. Unsurprisingly, Cloud has beat him here.

When that tail starts wagging uncontrollably, he can't help but laugh. It's kind of nice to know that someone's that happy to see him, honestly.

Following their wrist bump, he heaves out a sigh and lets his arms fall back to his sides. ]

[ It hadn't seemed worth the risk to mess around with something like that. ]
