[It isn't what she thinks it is. Was what Sephiroth wanted to point out, but logical judgment -a somewhat skittish Turk with a handgun trained between his eyes- held any comments firmly under wraps. Speaking, or even moving an inch could well be the last thing that he did.
As the front of the short cloak opens out around him, Elena would be able to see something else she may also find perplexing. Underneath the poor attempt at a disguise Sephiroth wore what seemed to be the old, standard 1st Class uniform; still with the signature belt-harness arrangement but otherwise not a fiber of leather on anything that he was wearing. An additional strap seemed to lead back behind him, into another harness arrangement but, sure enough, he'd left Masamune in the cave. There hadn't been any need and, quite rightly, if there had been any circumstance in which he'd need to defend himself to that extent then a retreat into the cave would be needed to alert the others anyway.
But damn if that initial reaction isn't there, to take the distraction Reno offered and blow it right open. Disarming the gun in his face was preferable and from keeping his eyes trained completely on Elena as she looked between the two of them he was almost convinced he might be able to pull it off-
But hang on...Elena-]
...not doing anything-
[It's hard to put a softer tone into any voice when there is such a threat in front of him, but behold his attempt at reassurance.]
