          are we really sure we want to go hiking all the way up here?   he has to, for the most part, ask himself because the last two or three times he’d been up on  cliff ... he’s fallen. and it takes months to recover from a fall from so up high. in fact, he’d fallen upon entering etheria and he’s not sure he’s ready to dive headfirst into the sand and die for real this time.  ❛  Cloudddd .... Cloud ... !!  Hey!!  ❜  he sighs, not really sure how else to get his attention aside from grabbing his arm, or... yanking on his hair. what does a guy gotta do to get noticed around here?!  ❛  Mister Cloud McCloud!! Sorry, I don’t know your last name, but do we really have to go hiking? Why can’t we just relax and take it east at the cabins?  ❜  it’s not like his sense of adventure has dulled in the slightest ... but the fact still stands that they’ve had the adventure of being in these factions and doing dangerous missions... it has to stop somewhere!

          it’d be funny for someone that knows him ... rather well ... to be pointing out that he’s all adventured out for one day -- or one week .... a good few months? either way, the last thing he remembers doing is fighting a massive dog surrounded by dark and black and scary and that’s definitely not something he wants to repeat more than once. a machine gun can only do so much before it starts to really kick him in the teeth when his enemies get too close. all that aside, cloud seems to like being all alone ... and besides, he’s the one that tagged along and followed him like an idiot. does he really have a right to whine? ❛  ... are you sure there’s nothing up here? This IS still part of Elder-what-have-you, isn’t it ... ?  ❜ ... whatever it’s called, it seems pretty ... er .. far away ...  @exko

Cloud’s given her a lot of nifty experiences over the years, all in all. Access to the chocobo races. Several trips to the Golden Saucer. Unlimited gondola rides. Even lessons on how to take care of her own domesticated chocobos, and stalls to place them in. So she doesn’t think too much to ask him of much else. Other than, of course, that he take a break from deliveries on occasion. No need to wear himself thin.

But instead of taking a complete break, it looks like he’ll take her offer for a helping hand. She’s been on Fenrir enough to know how to ride decently--her motion sickness is basically gone, also thanks to him--so she can board the bike and feel comfortable on the back of the seat. The packages seem secure enough, he tied and she double tied just in case, and the one that doesn’t fit is placed snug between them, so he doesn’t have to hold it on the handle as he steers.

「 I think I’m ready, 」she says, adjusting the chinstrap of her helmet one final time before placing her hands on Cloud’s sides.「 Prepare for takeoff. Let’s mosey. 」

            “were you not the infantryman who played friendship with the puppy?” the very same one who stabbed sephiroth in front of his “mother”? if his hair was anything to go by and his bright blue eyes, then he would think he had the same person; however, the look in his eyes is darker. it’s like the twinkle of naivete was snuffed out under his thumb, revealing that age must’ve played a number in his life -- leaving metaphorical scars that’ll never go away.

            “my friend, the fates are cruel; i can imagine you can relate to such a line now, no?”

You know, maybe Cloud can redeem himself. After the whole… rope-escape incident, she never would’ve imagined he’d oblige her in her request to return to Wutai. Did he not think her a thief, a liar, a pity? She’d been lectured on the importance of trust, how’d she’d broken it, and how her personal agenda mattered little in comparison to the group’s needs. 

It’d hurt. How much could she do for them, this group of ungrateful foreigners, who had only in half-baked brilliance and mere coincidence happened to bear witness to the fall of the mighty Shin-Ra Company, the bane of her country, and have it not be recognized or appreciated? How much did they take for granted, assumed of her merely because she traveled with them? 

Surely, this was a reminder she wasn’t a member of AVALANCHE. Not that she wanted to be, anyway, but… she was an outsider, despite all the time they spent together.

Perhaps her lowered morale was obvious, apparent even to those she might consider the least emotionally sensitive or empathetic. Everyone’s worried about their own plights, or about Cloud– why would anyone be concerned about her? She’s no one; and the more time she spends here, the more that point is pounded into her mind.

But when the ship’s piloted towards Wutai and he promptss her to get off, Yuffie’s got a look of confusion and frustration alike. Was this a joke? Was this the end of the road? She’s inclined to believe so, until she sees her leader pick up his equipment too. 

And she thinks, maybe. Maybe he’s a decent guy after all.
