I get the feeling we're gonna be dealing with scraps for a while, too.

[ she nods, her expression dimming a little. ]

It does feel like that, but I won't let it sway me. I'll keep looking for scraps as long as it takes.

Good. That's the kind of attitude it'll take to get us out of here.

[ wow... almost shonen moment there cloud ]

[ hehe

that does make her smile. hopeful enough words for this man of few words. ]

Your words are inspiring.

[ oh. uh. ]

... I wasn't trying to be. [ FLUSTERED at this (extremely mild) CALL OUT ]

[ she giggles. that's an adorable reaction. ]

It's nice to learn a little more about you, Mr. Strife.

[ everyone... stop calling him mister...... being polite to him is illegal. ]

... Thanks? [ unsure. but also: ] Just Cloud's fine.

Of course. Mister Cloud.

...

The mister's unnecessary.
