[ "So...Cloud." ]

Mm?

[ Kagome's intuition on his quieter nature was on the nose. Although admittedly, there was something about the girl that was piquing his curiosity a bit. Besides showcasing what happened when she was miffed about something (dragging him along? a bonus feat,) the fact she'd almost immediately associated the trick with magic made him wonder. Was she familiar with this kind of setting- or at least spells? Because if he were still new to this place, he wouldn't have been able to make heads or tails of it at first.

He's about to ask when she breaks their silence first, leaning back on his free hand as he gives her his attention. What did he think of this place? His feelings were all over the place, if one were to get an honest answer out of him. Not only was his greatest enemy here (and yet not at the same time), but a combination of his family and those he's lost were back in his life. That's ignoring all the aforementioned "strange stuff" that Kagome was referring to.

Cloud seems thoughtful at first, his head bowing for a second or so before he looks back up to her. ]

Sounds about right. It's pretty normal when you get rid of all the tricks.

[ But that's not the question at hand, was it? He knows this as he sets his gaze to the sky. ]

At first, I wasn't so sure how I felt. [ A beat. ] All I could think of was how quickly can I get back home. That I've got family waiting for me. Now...?

[ He's still not 100% sure. But then he thinks of not only those he's been reunited with, but those he's met in his short time here, his expression lightening up a little. ]

It's not so bad.

[She listens to him with quiet contemplation, staring at the city laid out before them. His initial thoughts sound very similar to her own after she had just arrived. Those first couple of days all she could think about was getting back home, returning to her family and friends. Worrying about the fates of InuYasha and the others.

But after she found out that InuYasha was already here...some of the initial panic and desire to leave lessened. She can't help but wonder if she should feel bad about that. Her desire to be by his side being stronger than her desire to go home.]

But you still miss them, right? Your family?

[ He's pensive at first. Less of the fact that he didn't want to say, but that he wasn't sure how he felt in his entirety. His brow momentarily furrows before he counts himself down. Gotta say something. He knows that he feels something. ]

Of course. [ His distant gaze that spans across the fields and skyline that's somewhat veiled, soon returns to Kagome. Just saying those two words fills him with more confidence in that belief. No matter what happened here, he refused to forget what was left behind. ] I still wonder if life's still moving. Or if the kids even know we're not there.

[ Did everything stop? He's still not sure... ]

But, I'm not alone either.

[ Impromptu hand holding didn't count. But, his thoughts immediately return to Tifa. Then everyone else he's met here. ]
