Zack at least can take a hint when it's given to him. Like when Cloud pointedly shoves that hand away. But he still grins like the pain he is. Because, well.. It's Zack. And he's enjoying the little things, okay. It's easier than focusing on the big things right then if just for another moment longer.

But that's a curious thought. Enough to get him craning his neck and searching Cloud a bit.

"What? Just how long have you been out?"

He hadn't suspected it was that long judging by Cloud's reaction, but... who's to know? But if it's been for a while now... yeah. Why wouldn't he be burned already? No offense, buddy, but you've got skin that screams 'Bake me something fierce' written all over it.
