discontent fills his lungs after sighing frustration through his lips , face almost pouting , read mostly as a scowl . the new guy's here and claudia , cloud's mom , has got everything in order for his cabin and place on the farm . the current farmer isn't much for change or new visitors , but it's mostly because he prefers to keep things peaceful , avoidant of anything that causes any sort of anxiety to well in his chest . people aren't his strong suit, but . . . he'll try to get along . for his mom , if nothin' else .
so , he continues his hesitant pace toward the center of town to show ‘ squall ’ his new place . next to his own . and he's hopin' he's even got his name right , already fearing for the embarrassment to come .
cloud makes contact with an unfamiliar figure , approaching him quickly because the awkward pace between two people who are meeting and don't know each other is almost deadly . ❛ hey . ❜ he calls , holding out a hand once he's close enough to deem it appropriate .
❛ 'm cloud . you . . . shawl ? ❜ shit .
