Sephiroth saw the two approaching, the woman in her dress and the man in his odd uniform. The former was a shapely young lady of indeterminate age, the latter a rugged looking older man, and they obviously knew one another. Perhaps the man was her bodyguard. Perhaps it was the other way around; Sephiroth was not unfamiliar with the gait of martially inclined people, and both of these had the posture and walk of trained fighters.

His initial observations made, Sephiroth returned the same small smile alongside a polite nod. "No. Simply observing, for the moment. It's obvious the two of you are not natives; what brings you to the gate today?" It wasn't unusual to find people trying to leave the city, for whatever reason. After all, wasn't that why he was here? These two, though he had never seen them, could have such a plan. The man was certainly dressed for a hard trek. The woman, however... A quandary, one that had him wondering.
