Tifa's gone home. Sorry to her friends here.

Can't even give us a minute to say goodbye, can you.

[If she'd brushed him off, Cloud probably would have just headed right inside to avoid the inevitably uncomfortable atmosphere soon to follow. He may not be as hopeless as he was before, but intense and intimate social situations were still a world of unknown interaction for him and he just wasn't sure sometimes.

So when she tugged his hand away, he was ready to go. But when she didn't let go...he stayed. He doesn't trust his dumb, stupid brain to come up with anything profound though, so he just looks back to the sky for a minute before closing his eyes and maybe holding her hand a little bit, too.]

[...She lingers there for some time. It's a welcome feeling but at the same time it's fleeting. She knows it is fleeting; just as fleeting as any moment with Fergan. As fleeting as he time with Gi. As fleeting as her months with Sephiroth. These moments which won't be kept like that.]

You know, there's a position in my team for someone like you.

[And with that, she takes the hand off]

I think I recall you saying something about me being irritating and so on. [Cloud folds his hands back atop his stomach, but doesn't open his eyes.]

There's a lot of irritating people there. Just wait 'til you meet Fergan.

[He looks over at her this time, falling silent. Then he climbs to his feet and cracks his back, pulling his arm back to stretch his shoulder.] I think you should save that slot for someone who needs it more than I do.

It's a job, not a charity.

[Still, that makes her laugh there. A real laugh. Because he's right: Team 4 is a bunch of misfits. Team 4 is the final salvation of the vast majority of them; outcasts Nina collected from across the stars]

Still, you're probably right.

[Cloud already has a job anyway. Not to mention that the quiet moment from a few minutes ago has broken, and it's starting to get a little uncomfortable for him to stick around.] ...I'm heading back down. Thanks for listening.
