[ If Cloud was tired, he did a very good job of showing it. He hasn't even gone to his own living quarters yet since arriving here. To say that he was absorbing this all was a bit of an understatement. It's going to hit him sooner or later (he thinks) that...he's by himself. But that's for future him to think about. Right now, he's going to stick to business and moving forward in the moment. As for her own remark on the Buster Sword, he casually places a hand on his hip, seeming to loosen up a tad more too.

At least...he thinks this is him being himself. ]

I'm definitely not built for "faster than the naked eye" swinging.

[ He's fast! And to him, the Buster Sword holds weight but still moves with the grace of a light weapon. Then again...limits were meant to be broken. He's sure there's plenty more room for improvement in his own fighting despite his accolades in SOLDIER. ]

[ There's the gratitude. There's the bond in battle. That's all there is, not knowing a single thing about her. Yet he still can't help but feel...warm? Good? It doesn't take much to chalk it up to feeling accomplished over a job well done, so that's exactly what Cloud rolls with. With matters settled here, he turns before taking a couple steps, only to stop and look back over his shoulder to the younger Kamisato. ]

I'm headin' to the Hanzaki Clan. [ A beat. ] You coming?
