[Sephiroth is still very much undecided, at this point, on how he feels over the concept of being so detached from his world. He had lost so much there, of himself, of friends he'd never thought would turn like they had, and yet more was still to be lost from his albeit very narrow perspective about his future. And the future of -what he'd come to see as- his Planet.

And this detachment brings with it the first glint of happiness, and perhaps the first notion of acceptance for everything he is; Terra. It's a tough fence, to call out which side of it he might be leaned towards.

Sephiroth follows Sheena's expression as she pauses and looks down, but he's careful not to seem to be staring too hard. Easily he could be quite intimidating without seeming to and he's well aware of his manners. He tilts his silvered head to one side as she ponders, and dares to interrupt. Putting on his attempt at a quick, kinder smile.]

There is little use concerning yourself with that, at this point in time.

[ Being detached from her world is something Sheena could have predicted her feelings over the moment she found herself on this world.

It wouldn't make her happy.

However, because of certain things that had happened, things that wouldn't have if she hadn't been brought here, she's been questioning that feeling more and more lately. Not that she doesn't still have it, only that she's been questioning it. Leaving her feeling divided over a lot of things.

As tall as he is, she's not exactly intimidated by him. Impressed, however, is another story. Looking up at him, she smiles at him and shrugs. ]

I'm the Chief; I can't help it.

[ Responsible? Yep. ]

[shinrasfinest]

[Sephiroth hasn't thought of himself as impressive, in any way or form, for a long time so would probably be rather surprised to hear that from Sheena, of all people. It certainly would do wonders for his sense of pride which seems more-like it's dragged behind him these days rather than bobbing on top.

Especially where he's not really getting much sleep.

Still he can't help but beam a little wider at Sheena's comment, and the sense of the responsibility that comes with it. Her sense of duty is painfully familiar.]

One thing at a time.

[No matter, either if it might be just a little hypocritical of him to say so, given his penchant for juggling multiple jobs, roles and responsibilities himself.]

[ninjainviolet]

[ Dude, you came out of nowhere wielding a sword to take down a couple of monsters. That's impressive; deal with it.

And perhaps one day she will tell him she feels that way about him, putting his mind at ease.

Seeing his smile widen, Sheena blushes slightly. She can't help but feel that way. It's in her nature to be concerned, and now as Chief...

It's multiplied. ]

One thing at a time, huh? I don't think that's something I can get used to.

[ Too many things to focus on to reach the ultimate goal, you know. Not to mention that whole two job thing she's got going on right now. ]

[shinrasfinest]

[Well that attempt at a tiny piece of advise didn't stand up on it's own for very long. Sephiroth is too much like Sheena in some ways, it seems.]

Me neither.

[He huffs lightly, flicking his head to one side to clear some strands of his hair out of his face a little where the bangs had fallen a little forwards from looking down at Sheena. Then another flash of a brief smile-]

You might not believe it but, delegation is hardly my forte, either.

[It's not like he could just come out of no where and simply turn tables single-handedly like he'd been famous for back home.]

[ninjainviolet]

[ Well, Sheena's pretty hard to give advice to; it takes her a while to accept it, so most people don't try.

She chuckles lightly. ]

It's tough, isn't it?

[ Sheena looks at him in mock surprise. ]

No! You, too? I never would have guessed!

[ After all, someone else could be going around checking things out; he doesn't have to be the one going around with a checklist.

As for the fighting thing...that's something they both have in common. Fighting with others had taken some getting used to. ]

[shinrasfinest]

[For Sephiroth, in times past it has been difficult to give advice to him. He who always made it his business to know exactly the ins and outs of every situation he might find himself in.

Indeed, the problems started when he didn't know the details.

He delivers a similarly mocking tilt of his head; the sarcasm isn't lost on him at all, and silently told Sheena that he might well be capable of being just as skilled with it.]

As much as I'd prefer to trust my own judgment over just about anyone else's.

[Ah yes, the checklist. He glances down to the pad he'd been making notes on, until now forgotten in his grip.]

I'd- best get it over with now it's started, though.

[ninjainviolet]

[ In Sheena's case, it's more of being stubborn than trying to learn everything about a situation. More than once she had charged ahead against her friend's advice, not knowing the details or the exact circumstances.

In response to his head tilt, he gets a quick quirk of an eyebrow, acknowledging his capability without a word. ]

So, basically, "if you want things done, do them yourself?"

[ Yeah, she knows that one. Pretty well, as a matter of fact.

Following his gaze, she smiles and nods, blushing slightly. ]

Whoops. Sorry for detaining you. You had better get it done while there's still light and time. I'll see you later!

[ And with a wave, she turns and heads off, picking a direction at random. ]
