[Fic] Final Fantasy VIII: Self-Control
Wednesday, 19 August 2015 11:20 pmSo, a while ago I was doing a quick "Guys, I've missed days on my write-fiction-every-day diary! Quick, gimme prompts!", and then I realised that I'd never got round to finishing the one
squeemu left for me. OOPS. The draft in my diary isn't quite perfect so she doesn't get the glorious picture of my terrible handwriting that everyone else got, she gets my terrible drabbles instead. <3

It takes a lot of self-control to be a martial arts-focused SeeD. To be willing to get that up close and personal with your opponents, regardless of size or species, without breaking and running? To be willing to kill a target with your bare hands? That requires a level of discipline that is hard to find, even in Garden.
Zell faces off against T-Rexaurs with the same focus as he does against human opponents. He has that level of discipline... Which is why everyone, from his instructors up to the Headmaster, cannot understand why he can't stop himself fighting Seifer.

He is a Chicken-wuss who warns Squall about being careful so he doesn't fall off the elevator and yet he is also entirely willing to punch a dinosaur in the face.
