The Geostigma rages unchecked. People are growing desperate. Nanaki has travelled Gaia for months, searching for a cure. A promising lead sends him sniffing after a rare materia rumored to have unparalleled curative power. When the trail turns out to be littered with dead bodies, Nanaki winds up working with the unlikeliest of allies: the Turks.
Reno's clothing drew Nanaki's eye. His pants were made of a stiff, dark blue fabric, worn thin in places, where the color faded to a hue paler than his breakfast bowl. His short-sleeved shirt was red, almost the same red as his mane, which spilled down his back unfettered, for once.
"You are not wearing your Turk clothes," Nanaki remarked.
"Uh huh. I wanna chat to some people who don't much appreciate being seen with a Turk. Bad for business, or so I'm told."
Nanaki swished his tail in a restless arc. The man's body was easier to read without the loose fabric of his suit concealing the posture of limbs and the tension of muscles, but it was strange to see him in something other than black and white. The suit marked him as a threat, a danger to watch at all times. Without it, he looked like just another human.
