Airship

I'll be a hero. I'll work hard and I'll make my friends proud, both the ones from Gaia and the ones I've made here. Cloud felt bad for being a burden in the last two incidents, and those were the thoughts on his mind as he set out for Aerilon. From the sounds of it he might be able to get himself some better gear and maybe find someone to help train him in gunblades in particular.

He just forgot one thing.

Cloud groaned as he slumped against the railing of the airship. Even with the wind whipping around on the deck, the weight of his armor helped alleviate any fears that he might fall off. That wasn't the problem though. His stomach was very vocal in its displeasure of his choice of transport, and his face was well green for the past hour. His lunch had already disembarked to the plains below, but all he could do was wait out the ride. Mako was keeping his distance, not wanting to get anything caught in his fluff, but Cloud couldn't blame him. Hopefully they'd be landing soon.

Aerilon Streets

After taking some time to recover from the flight, Cloud and Mako set out into the streets to find clues. The place was more crowded than expected, and Cloud found himself happy for the bulky armor he was wearing. He noticed a few folks keeping their distance from him as they walked along, not wanting to take the risk of picking his pocket. If he had shown up in his mage clothes he was sure it he might have been in a bit more prickly a situation.

He found himself having to watch his step though. He wasn't used to being the tallest person in the room, not that he was short, but being surrounded by moogles, tarutaru and hypello meant he had to take care not to trample the smaller folk. Now and then he stopped to question a group about the moogle he was seeking, but eventually he stopped at one of the inns. He wasn't old enough to go into a bar at home. Would it be okay here?

O'aka's Shop

Cloud and Mako stood dumbfounded at the pricetag in front of them. The body armor and weapons he'd been seeing all looked impressive, but as soon as he entered the shop his eyes were drawn to the mounted armor that was on sale. It was similar in style to the one that had he had faced down some months ago and somehow he had the knowledge to pilot one. An aid of the Magitek Knight Job and his crystal no doubt.

"What do you think, kupo? Can you use it?"

"Yeah...I don't suppose you have any gil hidden away?"

"N-no, not that much, kupo..."

Three million gil. And that was the sale price! He could hardly imagine anyone other than President Shinra or the owner of the Gold Saucer ever having that much money. He'd been able to save up a decent amount from his job at the ranch but that was only about a hundreth of what this cost.

She leaned forward with a smile.

"Does that mean you are saying that I'm right then?"

Not that Yuna didn't want to tell Cloud the truth but she wanted to prove her point first. It's been getting easier with each day and she knew if she talked about it, it would take the weight off of her shoulders.

She shook her head. "That isn't really what I meant but to answer your question, yes. I've met you before." Yuna leaned back against the wooden wall of the ship and looked up at the passing clouds.

"You wouldn't remember because I think it was a different you." She turned to look at him with a sad smile. "Just like there is another Yuna here that is a different me." Though Cloud had more in common with himself than Yuna has with herself.

"A little but you know, even though you don't remember me your the same and I'm happy to be able to talk to you again."

Yuna looked up at the sky as she poke and then glanced down at Cloud with a smile. It was hard but she has never let that get in her way.
