Cloud frowned as Minato bandaged his arm. He had been stubborn enough to try to treat it himself but the blood kept coming and he didn't want to have Terra see him like this. The last time he cut his arm it stirred a less than pleasant reaction from her. He knew why and he didn't want to risk putting her in another situation like that.

Still, he was frustrated. Even with Sephiroth's custom job, wielding his Masamune was proving difficult. The balance and range were far different than any blade he'd ever used before. He supposed there were limits to even the Jobs and he'd have to keep practicing. He glanced at the massive sword propped up against the wall before looking back to Minato.

"Sorry. I'll try not to let it happen again." He turned and flexed his arm, making sure everything felt right. So far it passed the test.

"... You're not planning to stick with something you're more familiar with?"

Minato doesn't miss the blond's glance towards his inherited weapon, and regards Cloud with a small smile--but there is a definite underlying concern from his eyes. Of course, it wasn't his business how people should train and what things they want to practice, and lecturing wasn't his intention; he just didn't want him getting himself hurt again. And that sword was certainly something, too, it didn't look like it would be an easy journey to master using that thing.

"It's not that simple. Besides, the Jobs we have make it easy for us to get familiar with any weapon quickly. I want...I want the weapon I wield to matter. It's why the other me used the swords he did. He made a promise...and so did I. I have to use that sword if I'm going to protect her for his sake."

It was pretty easy to guess who he was talking about. Clearly he had made some sort of parting promise to Sephiroth. And since his death the blonde had been keeping close to Terra, acting as a bodyguard.
