[Well, what the hell, he'll call that happy progress for sure. Zack grins, giving Cloud's hair an encouraging ruffle - at least he hopes it's encouraging instead of condescending - and goes to take the driver's seat. Their lives just got so much easier, and although the road ahead is just as dangerous as before, this at least means they can watch each others' backs again.
For a long while there isn't much to do except drive, and the roar of the motorcycle's engine makes conversation difficult, so Zack focuses on the road in order to get them to their next destination as soon as possible. After at least four hours he angles them off the rugged path and back into more civilized territory, slowing down and keeping a more careful eye on who's around- any Shinra vehicles, both on the road or in the air, wandering troops, anything that might give them away. Fortunately, they're still far enough out in the boonies that Shinra presence is low, and it looks like the Turks haven't figured out their route yet, so after some careful circling he parks the bike in a station, gingerly pulling his fingers off the handlebars and stretching his sore muscles.]

How you doing, Cloud? Ready for a break?
