"Well enough..." But obedience was winning out; Sephiroth found himself shrugging out of his coat. He immediately regretted it when Night made a high-pitched noise, halfway between horror and outrage.
"Look at those chafe marks!" she exclaimed. "Oh, your poor skin. Out of that terrible contraption, you - I'll fetch out some ointment."
