"It ain't that serious-" .. Probably. Thus far since he'd met her she was only morbid threats without any serious execution ( on him; their foes was another story ). "But yeah yeah; if it comes t'that we'll be hittin' it up with the rexes."
That's how him and Selphie were; loud when they were scrapping but ultimately no harm no foul. Can't say that for everyone that rides his nerves.
She can't help but feel that the only reason those two were acting up was because Squall just happened to bugger off on a mission. She caught him trying to correct himself, she may not be his teacher anymore, but at least he was still willing to throw her a bone and TRY to watch his language. "Well, whatever, if you two are going to fight, training center's that way, if you're not, good, just don't make a mess of the Garden."
Honestly she'd pay good money to watch Zell punch out Seifer, but her reputation was already in the toilet, and she had a feeling Zell would lose a few limbs in the process.
Zell's voice claim / his particular accent that fits him to a T.
I listen to a lot of Token when I need to get into the Zell mindset.
"Psssh. Fight? Nah. ... she wishes."
"If you're gonna fight, please take it to the training center. I'll make sure Dr. Kadowaki is on standby..."
Nobody:
Absolutely nobody in the FF8 fandom:

-- dead dove content may be present
-- this is not a place for you if you have an issue with characters growing up.
-- witch hunting, content policing, and vauging gets scrubbed off my dash. one strike policy.
-- I have a LOT of headcanons regarding Zell ( that will be slowly posted in queue ) - I don't expect anyone to remember all of them and as it's been years since I wrote him I likely forgot my own lore. If there's anything that's need to know I'll make it known. ♥
-- writer is 35. they / them
-- I am familiar with FF7 ( and everything that branched off from it ), FF8, FF9, FF10, FF10-2, and FF14, but I'm open to other FF's and cross-overs I'm less familiar with.
Regarding Zell’s physical body and his type of martial arts, aka Muay Thai / Thai Boxing -
Zell is never going to be overtly buff. From what I can tell in images I’ve searched regarding people who practice Muay Thai, so many of them fit Zell’s physique. Their bodies are toned much like Zell’s arm in concept art, especially compared to other party members in their concept art where it shows their arm muscle.
Muay Thai doesn’t just focus on punches or kicks, and it’s called the “art of eight limbs” due to using other body parts such shins, elbows, fists, knees, ect.
I think it’s just really need that his own physical body lines up with what I’ve found to be extremely common with people who fight using this style.
