[ From the very moment their eyes lock from a distance, he immediately felt the chill render down his spine. This wasn't unfamiliar territory to the acerbic swordsman however. Even when the man first arrived on Prismatica in one lifetime, he felt and suppressed all those feelings to put up the front of a SOLDIER. In a bid to deter the once-lauded general from suspecting anything happening in Nibelheim. Even now, there's little time to tell what the other is thinking.
All he has now is hope. Hope that he can at least stay..."amicable" with the man. But now? ]
?!?
[ He's getting "hope" literally hurtled right at him as the Minotaur effectively yeets a distracted Sephiroth. That? Does not happen very often. He tenses up, normally bracing for an attack whenever Sephiroth comes at him like this. Instead— ]
Shit—
[ Cloud doesn't get out of the way in time. Chalk it up to freezing at the sight of someone he, ultimately, would never want to see again no matter the circumstance. But he doesn't even consider utilizing his Kinetic magic as the two are knocked off the perch the blond had set himself on. That asshole has impeccable aim if it can smash Sephiroth right into him. Worse yet? Whether he needs it or not... ]
Nnngh...
[ Cloud broke his fall as they hit the dirt. Shaking his head to rid himself of the cobwebs, he shifts until he's able to shakily get back on his own two feet. Sephiroth, he figures, took the worst of that. Retreating when it's still causing destruction to the distant city behind them with its strength? Not an option. ]
Tougher than it looks?
[ No. He's not going to ask him if he's okay. Not when he knows whether the worst case scenario has transpired or not. ]
