[ That earlier bit, not being able to see, probably earned a frustrated look from Gaia too. It seemed simple enough to her. But there's more important things grabbing her attention now. And she certainly shakes her head emphatically.
No she definitely hadn't missed that, it's just... ]
Given what happened with Vincent it was obvious some people were having struggles with influences from the fog that lingered. But if he explained it that way to me and it was wrong, then it meant he was upset at something. Also, no! Look, you pushed a lot of things at me at once. First the travel, and that. I was getting to it.
[ Sort of. One at a time. Gaia looks flustered enough that it's likely true. ]
If this guy you remember is as manipulative as he sounds then you should definitely speak to the one person that can confirm his claim as well as what he can or can't do here. Believe me, even if he thinks he's the one responsible, you don't want that to eat at you. That you can't escape him because he has that power.
[ She huffs out an air of exasperation. ]
You can't help it if he was brought here by the powers here intentionally and they won't send him away. But at least that isn't the same thing.
[ Then another deep breath. ]
Now, explain the control thing. Please. That's something I don't even know if my friend knows. And if he does, he certainly hasn't cared to explain it to me. Though if you think we should all sit down together about this and make sure he's willing for me to know about that, we should do that right now because that part sounds important.
[Cloud's pretty sure that it wouldn't matter what he said to Sephiroth, the kid would find reasons to be upset about it. Even if all he said was the sky was blue.
He nods.]
He didn't wanna hear it from me earlier, but maybe if you ask him, he'll come. Far as I know, he has no idea. Doubt he'll believe me anyway, but might as well give it a shot.
[ Gaia probably won't feel sympathetic if Cloud retreats over a little thing like a teenager being a teenager. She's handling it just fine!
And probably not just because she is, in fact, also a teenager. ]
No, he did. I heard him ask you to tell him. Something about listing the people close to you the future Sephiroth hurt before coming here. [ This is firmly, perhaps even a bit tartly, offered even while she's activating the network link to fire off texts. This whole 'in her head/on a HUD' thing is a little weird still but she's adapted well. ]
What did you say after that? Because all I heard was a 'Fine' and he closed the link. I doubt it was an actual list or a lack of one.
[ Otherwise she would have expected a 'see, told you so' or some similar thing from her friend's end. ]
