If anything, anyone with blond hair and odd clothes would be suspicious considering the way they just didn't seem to notice them at all. It wasn't even avoidance. In actuality, it just gave him really bad vibes.

Wondering just when he'd become some sort of Zack's prop during introductions, Cloud didn't even squeak when he was hooked and sufficently dragged into limelight. The attention was embarrassing though.

"Hi." He muttered, coloring brightly and reaching out to shake Eddie's hand. He didn't know where Zack got the 'best dang friend' part and wouldn't ask but he did understand hick solidarity.

Of sorts. He didn't even know that Zack was from the country.

If Zack trusted this guy, Cloud would give him a chance. It wouldn't hurt to have more friends.
