Talk to me about Cloud's training routine: does he spend a lot of time warming up? Is he the type to skip it? How does he divide up his time when training? Does he like to switch it up and practice with different weapons or without? Does he dedicate a lot of time to weapon upkeep? Does he like training or does he think it a chore?

CLOUD & TRAINING HC.
unbefitting for a hero, cloud doesn’t typically train that much. he does fight, of course ; he can’t really afford not to. whilst out on deliveries, he’s ( often ) confronted by random encounters – but asides from that, he has no particularly consistent regime. for the most part, cloud only uses first tsurugi anymore – but he’ll switch it up in the sense that he uses different blades for different purposes, and sometimes only uses one at any given time – ; separate from all the others. he’s far more vigilant about overuse.
on occasion, he does train with his friends // ex-comrades. only, it’s more of a measured test of strength & endurance than anything else. most everyone he knows uses any weapon other than a sword, after all. it’s far easier to train ( efficiently ) when battling somebody else who wields a sword – & particularly training alongside somebody who knows what they’re doing with said sword. that’s not to say he can’t learn anything from fighting friends that use spears & guns, etc. just, it’s not as helpful in the long-run.
