[ Yeah, okay. That works a bit better. He even takes enough of a hint to just hand the tablet back to its rightful owner now that he can talk into it anyway.

He hears that touch of melancholy to his tone. Another small reminder of that night back at Nibelheim. But... ]

Look- you trust us, don't you? [ It's perhaps a little unfair to pull this card, but. Cloud does need to be there for the other two. ]

Zack knows the house she woke up in. [Kunsel's going to chip his two gil in.] He can find it faster than anyone else and we're closer. Then we can head straight to meet back up with you guys. You'll see her soon enough.

[ Ouch. ]

I-I do. Of course I do.

[ Can you hear how defeated Cloud sounds? Can you? But there's a small huff of air on the other end, a tiny exasperated sigh before he speaks up again. ]

I'll leave it up to you two, then. Make sure you're safe out there... okay?

[ The last thing he needs is three people to worry after... not that he wasn't doing that already. ]

[ He hears it. And- okay, now, he feels kinda bad. But... Someone has to keep the other two afloat. Who better than Cloud? So, he nods on this end although the young man on the other end can't see. ]

Of course. Same goes for you. Keep those two in one piece, you hear? Any problems? You let us know post-haste. We'll find Tifa and get her back there safely pronto. Right, Kuns?

[deus_ex_phs]

Right.

[There's nothing but confidence and conviction in Kunsel's voice.]

And we'll keep in touch, we promise.
