[ Those extra inches between them have always been a point of contention for Squall. Probably because it gave Seifer entirely too much satisfaction to be the taller of them. As they walk, Squall tries not to slow or disrupt his stride when Seifer casually guesses his door code. ] That would be too easy.
[ And apparently it is, but it wasn't as if Squall had ever anticipated having this conversation with Seifer when he'd programmed it. Better to move the conversation along and this feels safer than any possible sentiment that could be derived from the numbers 1222 besides the ease in which they allowed him to access his room. ]

Squall has been experimenting with paramagic since first junctioning, practicing its various uses and all the different ways he can draw from the wild and his opponents. It's felt necessary so far but here Seifer was using only blade and bravery.
...And unchecked bravado. Squall rolls his eyes again. ]

Showing off isn't enough incentive?
