He could have escaped this tangled scene with just a few more steps. But Cloud decided to stop once the hooded woman stepped out in front of him. He didn’t want to run into her, so he stopped walking. He eyed her cautiously. She was someone he’d just run into, so how come she was taking such an interest in something that didn’t concern her in the slightest? Maybe she was a voyeur or a spy. Who knew.
Cloud narrowed his eyes when the woman called him by name. “You don’t bother me one bit,” he replied. She could probably be dispatched with very little effort if it came to combat. “It would be wise if you avoided speaking of matters that don’t concern you.” Of course he had a burden, the burden of memory (or non-memory in his case), but he wasn’t about to swap life stories with this weird woman.
She didn’t seem openly hostile, so he decided it was safe to turn his back on her to face the rest of the group. He fixed a look on the silver-haired man in black. “I assure you I have no brothers. And I have no allegiances to betray. Don’t assume so much of me.” Didn’t the man notice the sword strapped to Cloud’s back when he’d turned away? It was usually common sense to not upset an armed man.
As for the others, Cloud didn’t give the dark-haired woman a single glance. He looked towards Aerith briefly. “We don’t have time for this. Aerith, we need to get going.”
