Sephiroth seemed to have missed the first part of Saori's comment....to begin with. Terra is a sweet girl, and it made him both straighten up and smile a fraction wider as she mentioned how lucky she was to have a guardian, like him. That was exactly how he'd intended to be for her-
"Going steady? It's not really anything like that." The space between his eyebrows crunched together a little, like an afterthought, as he'd re-processed those words. It was only a blink of an expression though, before those thin silver lines retreated back into neutral. Sephiroth then chuckled, as if making light of the comment would make it any less relevant. Of course he was enough of an adult within himself to know exactly what Saori referred to; yet when it came to applying Terra to such a scenario quite often just made him feel awkward for some reason.
He nodded with a tilt of his head in her direction off the back of the last comment.
"Right. Though it's hard to find that balance, at times."
