His height would likely have been attributed to a mutation brought about by JENOVA, in the same way as his hair color and the main shape of his face that mirrored that of the brain-dead creature so closely. Either that or there must have been some other anomaly in the provided gene pool.
He'd never laid eyes on JENOVA, though, and by all accounts that's potentially one of the only things separating Sephiroth from the monster that he'd inevitably become. Lucrecia would be able to tell that he didn't look all that different from in her visions; it had to have been at around this time in his life that she'd seen.
It might well have been his tight pride keeping him stood firmly upright, and Sephiroth didn't even stumble but for the first tentative step he took towards the door. He made only a comment, only mumbled back over the top of an arm at her as he proceeded to leave.
"I'll be fine. It shouldn't surprise you to know that places like this make my skin crawl."
It bordered on sharp, the way it was uttered and Sephiroth didn't even give Lucrecia any time to reply further before opening the door and striding out into the hallway.
